    They working on my right to buy a gasoline powered car.

    My wife was not planning to trade until next year at the earliest. We are thinking about trading an SUV with 34,000 miles one it to get a new on because the model is going away.

    I don't want an electric "runabout." I have charging station anxiety." I don't want a vehicle I can't take on a long trip.

    This is an example of how stupid government officials and many college professors are. You can't force people into electric vehicles when there are not enough charging stations to service them, and the electric grid in not big enough to support them. You can't dictate to people when you have not planned out the whole system.

    Which you already have. Are you also working on your right to chew bubblegum? How about your right to play tiddlywinks? Any other rights that you already have that you are pretending to be working on?

    Freedoms are taken away a teeny weensy bit at a time, bit by bit by bit over years, decades and centuries. It is hard to pinpoint a salient significant freedom that anyone lost at any one moment like it is hard to pinpoint which straw broke the camel's back.

    Yes, perhaps we shouldn't casually create and destroy human life. If embryos had protection then IVF would be a whole different process.

    Gas powered cars and trucks aren’t going away anytime soon. Take a deep breath….let it out. Take a deep breath…let it out.

    So you need an ideology to deny truth. That indicates ideology is the problem not misinformation.

    Many people go through great lengths to deny truth. That doesn't make it subjective and it doesn't mean misinformation is a threat. Truth is only dangerous to lies not the other way around.
    So you're wise even if comes to identifying ideology that's a good thing.

    Very true. A lot were taken away under FDR, a very few under Truman, Ike, and JFK, a few under Nixon. very few under Carter (he wasn't smart enough). some restored under Reagan, none under Bush 41 because he was busy with other stuff, a few under Clinton, some under Bush 43, a bunch under Obama, some returned under Trump, and then Biden went on rights removal steroids.

    That kind of absolutist view never works. Is it an infringement if they don't allow you to have a gun in prison? Should police officers be able to disarm you when you're being violent or threatening? The 2nd amendment doesn't mention those exceptions, so should those exceptions exist? My point is that most rights are not absolute, courts have allowed reasonable restrictions since this country started. The argument is thus about what kind of reasonable restrictions we should have, not whether they should exist at all.

    Right now Biden is working on banning menthol cigarettes, and who remembers all the freedoms lost during the china virus? Government workers, and more, lost their jobs if they didn't get jabbed.

    I think Oregon bans people from collecting rain water that falls on their own house. In CA and NY, there are areas that will ban you from installing a natural gas line into a new home you're building. In CA, they want to ban gas powered weed eaters, lawn mowers and generators.

    The best (or worst) of all is Biden wants to ban equality. He is literally putting favored groups ahead of groups he doesn't favor with his DEI and social justice policies.

    Freedom from unreasonable searches.

    Asshat Leftist Judge Flunks.

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.​

    Crazed Leftist Judge Who Went on CNN to Attack Trump Is Rebuked Over J6 Case.

    'Judge Reggie Walton, a sitting D.C. Court judge who went on CNN to give a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump, recently decided that the Department of Justice was justified in spying on a J6 defendant’s computer without a warrant because it was seeking out information on controversial political opinions.'

    Apparently this ignorant leftist robed idiot is unaware that it's not a crime for a Free American to hold a controversial political opinion.

    'On Saturday, Judge Walton was himself rebuked by a D.C. court of appeals panel for signing off on unconstitutional and illegal surveillance practices simply because he politically disagreed with the defendants.'

    [​IMG]

    'The D.C appeals court decided “The district court plainly erred in imposing the computer-monitoring condition without considering whether it was ‘reasonably related’ to the relevant sentencing factors and involved ‘no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary’ to achieve the purposes behind the sentencing.”

    “Maybe Judge Reggie Walton should spend less time moonlighting as a CNN commentator? And more time learning basic law?”

    We're sick of the rights violations and the election rigging.

    An inmate's right to keep and bear arms are taken away via due process of the law (sound familiar?).

    Infringements are gun control laws that prohibit law abiding people from keeping and bearing arms.

    No he’s not. No one is taking away your choice to buy whichever car, stove or furnace you want. What did Biden specifically do to cause your electric company to jack your rates? The electric company we use has not jacked our rates. You should talk to your electric company.

    You must not have heard about Biden's objective to manufacturing no more gas powered automobiles in just a few years, or his attempting to ban natural gas stoves and furnaces forcing everyone to buy electric and heat pumps, or his efforts to ban coal fired electric power plants with gas fired power plants squarely in his sights so that electricity production falls far below the demand which will make its cost sky high (as Obama promised).

    Biden is doing no such thing regarding gas powered cars. You’ve fell for talking points. There is no ban on gas stoves, etc.
