The Bill of Rights is not negotiable. What part of that did you not understand? Either everyone has freedom, or nobody has it.
Freedom does not equal anarchy. Why do you think the "rights" of OWS "protesters" supercede the rights of others? Why can the OWS block sidewalks, streets, intersections, and shut down ports and businesses? And trash public spaces like city parks? You don't respect everyone's rights, if you did the OWS would obey State and local laws and ordinances and the Supreme Court and get permits, that way the rights of non-protesters would also be protected and upheld by giving them a warning about any closures the OWS demonstrations would cause so they can plan around them.
And yes, the Bill of Rights is negotiable, at least when it comes to how it is interpreted. That is why we have a Supreme Court. For example, where is abortion in the Constitution? Why did SCOTUS interpret the Constitution in a way that it supports abortion? If the Constitution is so clear and black and white, then should we disband the Supreme Court?
Honey. You should know by now that you will get nowhere with facts.
Facts will get you nowhere.
Let me repeat this for emphasis .. FACTS WILL GET YOU NOWHERE WITH PEOPLE WHO BRAINLESSLY RELY ON FAUX NEWS FOR THEIR TALKING POINTS.
It doesn't matter how passionate you are or how many facts (real facts) and figures you have at your disposal.
It will all be disputed and ripped apart by the brainless zombies who will believe anything that Rupert Murdoch tells his brainless silicone-enhanced teleprompter readers to report on FAUX News.
They will eat that sh*t up while they pick at their Vienna Sausage and their Mac and Cheese while sipping on their Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in front of the TV during Jeopardy.
They really aren't that smart.
Republicans have figured out how to manipulate these poor preople.
Thats the real issue!
How do Democrats figure out how to manipulate those stupid people?
How do Democrats figure out how to manipulate those stupid people?
Democrats have already figured it out, there are hundreds of stupid people sleeping in tents in parks all over this country right now who are being manipulated by Democrats and liberals.
The Tea Party - in its most purest, grass roots form - is essentially like Occupy Wall Street except with an older median age. Likewise OWS at heart is like the Tea Party with younger demographics. Methinks the hatred between both is because to some extent they are rivals. Just imagine if they joined together.
the tea party of which it's been said they want the finest teachers, the finest policeforce, and the finest fire department but they don't want to pay for it
Side note:
What the TEA Party stands for has nothing to do with teachers, police or fire departments. Those are all LOCAL entities.
For the billionth time, the TEA Party is against excessive taxation at the FEDERAL level.
Do you understand the difference? At all?? I seriously doubt that you do. It's an ongoing problem with you anti-TEA Party types. You rail against us making completely false claims, using examples that we never used about police, fire, teachers, libraries, etc., but not once do you acknowledge that none of those things have ANYTHING to do with taxes collected by the federal government.
I'm really getting sick of this constant, intentional ignorance from the likes of you and your ilk. If you can't make your case with the facts, then maybe you shouldn't bother at all.
Swagger, thank you for saying it and so succinctly! Don't get tired of having to repeat truths like this. Ya never know when it sinks in to someone that isn't posting, but only reading.
