"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt

I agree with all of this
My only question: why did SO many Democrats vote for the override? Hat tip to @TNAutry for the link to this video from the James Report.
Are you saying Democrats are against our 2nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear? I was thinking that no matter what your party was you were sworn to uphold the US and TN Constitutions. I do expect more from you than this.
"Are you saying Democrats are against our 2nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear?"
No, we're saying stupid, gutless, paranoid people shouldn't have guns in public. There is no clause in the 2nd Amendment that allows complete and total idiots to go bar hopping with firearms.
No, no...Liberals support the 2nd Amendment. We just don't want to see complete and total cowards, the kind of people who carry guns in bars, killing anyone they're afraid of.
Thank God I don't know what it feels like to be so yellow. Now, I think I'll go down to State Line B&G and have a beer with nothing but two fists and lots of wit to back me up.
Your above tagline leads one to ask: why? Isn't abolsutist authoritarianism what "liberalism" opposes? Or does your righteousness give you the perogative to be as absolutist as those you claim to abhor?
For the most part, the Democrats are not much different from Republicans. They talk a good game, but when it comes down to the core issues that really drive everything else, they all line up together.
They continually support growth economics that are bad for the environment. They support militarism and block effective healthcare legislation. They're basically all professional politicos bought and paid for by powerful capitalist interests, to the point that it's often hard to tell the difference between private enterprise and the government.
Real democracy begins between the ears. It happens in your home, neighborhood and community. If you keep looking to politicians to solve problems, you'll always be sorely disappointed.

Basically criminals don't care about any law that you pass. Its the reason that they are criminals. Places that outright ban guns from law abiding citizens are criminal magnets. Basically most criminals that commit crimes such as robbery are cowards so they tend to rob people that are more than likely not going to be able to protect themselves from thugs like themselves.
Places that they don't know will be safe for THEM will be the last place they would try to rob because they might actually get hurt or arrested.
Being scared of your fellow citizen is exactly what gives them the power to do what they want in the first place.
The "beer and wit" comment makes no sense. So I thought it was just another case of a Right Wing punk failing to be able to express themselves proficiently in writing.
"There is no clause in the 2nd Amendment that allows complete and total idiots to go bar hopping with firearms."
What is mainly served in a bar? Alcohol. Bar hopping is going bar to bar drinking at each stop if I am correct. So the problem would be drinking and carrying a firearm at these bars. Drinking would decrease one's wit because it depresses the CNS. Correct? So there was the reason for my wit and beer comment. jotito.
I am sure that you were the only one that was unable to understand my comment. I apologize and I will explain it a little better next time.
I am also impressed with what a big man you are on here. It is so easy to talk trash when you do not have to actually face someone. As before on this blog I will most gladly give you my address where you can visit me anytime you want.

"My only question: why did SO many Democrats vote for the override?"
This question was the reason for my question.
Are you saying Democrats are not all of those things you accuse those that want to carry guns of being? And you people call us hate mongers.
"I think I'll go down to State Line B&G and have a beer with nothing but two fists and lots of wit to back me up."
Beer and wit do not go together according to you so you better grab something else for protection.

Here is the simple answer to your question...
Basically criminals don't care about any law that you pass. Its the reason that they are criminals. Places that outright ban guns from law abiding citizens are criminal magnets. Basically most criminals that commit crimes such as robbery are cowards so they tend to rob people that are more than likely not going to be able to protect themselves from thugs like themselves.

"This question was the reason for my question."
If there was some sarcasm I missed I apologize.
No sarcasm just pointing out the reason for my question.
"Beer and wit do not go together according to you so you better grab something else for protection."
No sarcasm in this comment either, but I think I pointed out a contradiction on your part.
Oh, ok.
The "beer and wit" comment makes no sense. So I thought it was just another case of a Right Wing punk failing to be able to express themselves proficiently in writing.
So, fuck you. Byatch.
Let me splain it to you.

"why did SO many Democrats vote for the override? "
Because they want to keep their jobs.
