There is no huge difference, loss of freedom is loss of freedom.
If you are not driving, you do not need to wear a seat belt. This vaccine order forces a requirement simply for existing.
I’m opposed to mandatory seat belts and mandatory jabs. Generally, I don’t like being told what to do even if it’s something I’m not opposed to.
The bigger issue...there is no constitutional right to drive a car. Driving a car is a privilege. Court cases out the butt on this issue. Because it isn’t a right, the state can regulate operation of a car. Driver’s licenses. Speed limits. Driver’s license restrictions for various issues. Wearing seatbelts. All conditions on the privilege to drive. But there is a constitutional right to as to what one puts in one’s body. There is a huge difference.
Zactly
Can’t inject poison into a murderer on death row but, the givernment can force you to play Russian Roulette with a drug.
I’ve done it myself. I just wanted to have a little snark, and you took it exactly the way I had hoped
the government medics and judges still refuse to medicate the homeless derelicts that need medication to act normal or abuse drugs and alcohol.
Seatbelts are not federally mandated.
I thought seat belt laws/registration stickers were primarily created to allow LE to pull people over and search their cars.
It’s weird around here sometimes...
That and the attempted humorectomy was unsuccessful...
There should be no seatbelt mandate.
I strongly oppose mandatory seatbelt laws as well. Both are governmental overreach
To use the government’s Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System’s numbers to make your argument that vaccines are bad destroys all credibility.
Just because Wesley Smith twists the logic about seat belts in the “National Review,” does not make it correct. The analogy is, just like the seat belt protects you from death, so does the vaccine.
Your chance of dying in a car accident are even more remote than dying from COVID-19; yet there is a mandate for seat belts. That’s another part of the analogy, since dying from COVID is in the 2% range.
The side-effects from the vaccine are even more remote than dying from COVID-19. Yet, people act like those side effects are mountains when they are actually mole holes.
Finally, isn’t the “my body, my choice” argument being used to kill babies in the womb? Do you support that?
“Why is it on every thread your knee jerk reaction is to ignore the thread and post a “hate your own allies” rant?”
I’m not exactly a fan of Lurkin because his constant anti-RINO chants tend to depress turnout, allowing Democrats, who today are ALWAYS far worse, to slip into office - but he does have a point here.
What he’s asking here is very simple: Why should we support people who profess conservative values, but the minute a candidate shows up ready to actually IMPLEMENT these conservatives values, not only do they run away from us, but they actively work to enable our enemies to take over? They are not our allies if they’re doing that, and likely never were.
In the case if National Review it was virtually every writer who supported Hillary (along with Cruz, for a while, by the way). The 2016 election wasn’t a hard decision at the presidential level, either you believed in this country, or not.
