Dishonest and selective editing of my posts won't redeem you, Choad.
It is clear to everyone here
exactly what you are: A goosestepping partisan who will tolerate no deviation from the party line.
I am willing to help your party achieve a common goal, but you would drive me away.
In point of fact
you are more of a threat to the Conservative movement than I am.
Yes I do. And, I believe that the size and scope of government correlates precisely to its intrusiveness. The larger the size and scope of government, the more intrusive.
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause by Oath or Affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The right to privacy holds regardless of the size of government.
I believe in equal protection; under the law, John. You don't.
And the Constitution is the
Supreme Law of the Land.
Which means individual states
cannot arbitrarily discriminate based on sexual orientation.
I think the governments role is in enforcing contracts, not dictating the specifics of them. You do.
Denying someone the
same privilege granted to another person based on bigotry
is dictating the specifics.
You talking about body cavity searches, John? You can't be talking about the right to an abortion here, can you? That is some lopsided logic, if you are...
I said nothing of the sort. But
dictating to a woman what she can or cannot do to her body in the context of a medical decision (abortion) is
invasive nonetheless.
Freedom of religious expression needn't stop at the federal building doorstep, John. Despite your dissembling, the Constitution still guarantees that right...
It has no place in the public square. Religion is a private affair.
If you want to believe in magical, invisible, zombie friends; that's fine with me. I have a
right not to be subjected to it in the halls of government.
This thread has become total awesomess!!!
CJ ignores every argument ever made by anyone who disagrees with him but pops up every once in a while to talk shit or chide someone for going off-topic.
Choda has nothing substantive to contribute, so he just throws around insults and trolls.
Johnny is pissed off enough about this legislation to swallow his pride and throw his lot in with the bible-thumpers, billionaires and angry hicks of the GOP, but gets in trouble for thinking for himself a bit too much.
Seriously, this is classic....you guys could almost be in congress!
And out the window goes all that
Big Tent bullshit.
