TN Rep. Marsha Blackburn Seeks to Put TSA in Their Place!
G27 replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Typical politician - she voted for the Patriot Act Reauthorization, but is 'fighting' the TSA as it's publicly expedient to do so. She's no better than any other scumbag in DC. -
Chief Justice Roberts Is A Genius? Your thoughts?

Sounds to me the repubs are desperately looking for SOMETHING to claim as a victory after the ruling. -

I don't think anyone's offended, it's just this is a black-and-white issue - either rights are inalienable or they aren't. If you start deciding who has 'God-given rights' and who doesn't, then they aren't bestowed by our creator at all, they're simply privileges or allowances granted us by our government. It's really that simple. I believe certain rights are inalienable - they are bestowed upon us as humans. You feel they are granted by our government.
-
So you don't believe in inalienable rights, but instead believe our rights are granted by the government. OK.
-
IMO, unalienable rights, if they truly are unalienable, apply to all. Just because someone breaks the law doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed freedom of speech, freedom from self incrimination, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment, or freedom to protect their own life.

Two separate issues - if the right to life is truly unalienable, given by 'their Creator', then as DaddyO and Mike pointed out above, the government shouldn't have the right to regulate it (or the defense thereof) regardless of the the person's legal status or citizenship. I applaud you for doing things legally and in the correct manner and believe we need more people like you, not people sneaking across the border. But that said, no matter how they get here, if the rights are truly (supposed to be) unalienable, then I'm not in favor of any citizenship-based laws curtailing those rights. It shouldn't surprise me anymore, but it still does that so many here seem to be will to draw a line in the sand, essentially suggesting 'this person has unalienable rights, but that person does not'. Makes me wonder if they even understand what unalienable means. Or maybe they consider the government their 'creator'.

Yah, it seems that some people think "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable Rights; that among these, are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" only applies to US citizens and legal residents.

Probably because so many TGOers act like they live in utopia, when in fact the crime rates in most Memphis communities are quite average for the state. Many on TGO act like Memphis is Somalia and quite frankly, for those of us who live here and spent our lives living in many other places, it's actually comical seeing all the fear-based posts. So much for the internet tough-guys, I guess. -

And those that don't live here come across as scared of their own shadows. -
How did it go horribly wrong? It was stupid and it certainly could have gone wrong, but aside from the sensationalist headline, what horrible thing happened?

If retailers are offering you the convenience of paying via credit card, and it costs them more to do so, why should they not pass that expense on to you? Don't like it? Pay cash.
