The country decided gay people had a right to get married, and we got gay marriage. The country decided weed should be legalized, and weed is being legalized. The country decided we need universal background checks and a ban on large capacity magazines and guns designed for combat. The NRA and gun nuts will whine, but we will achieve that too.
Do you see the difference between those three examples?
1. marriage is a contract. States should not be able to discriminate based on who is a party to the contract, as long as the parties to the contract are capable of consenting. The end result? LIBERTY
2. The idea that government should be allowed to tell people what they can and cannot take into their own bodies as adults is so alarming and disturbing to me that I'm at my wits end. I am glad we are finally working to overthrow the authoritarianism that brought us a ban on cannabis. The end result? LIBERTY
3. Like the example above, the country decided that we needed to ban alcohol, and we did with a constitutional amendment (which was the correct method, despite the misguided nature of the aim). How did that turn out for us? Now you're going to ban something else. How do you think that's going to turn out for us? The end result? NOT LIBERTY
Thank you for providing me with the classic example of authoritarian hypocrisy. You are no different then the right wing hard-core Jesus Nazis. You are two peas in a pod. Both of you love the state and love the authority and hate liberty.
Why do you hate liberty?
