I'm sorry, but...

I'm sorry that your child was killed by a drunk driver, but that doesn't give you the right to pull my car over at random and search me or it.

I'm sorry that your father died of lung cancer at the age of 60, but that doesn't give you the right to tell me I can't smoke in my own house or car.

I'm sorry that your best friend died of a heart-attack after eating nothing but Big Macs all his life, but that doesn't give you the right to tell me that I can't eat fats if I want to.

I'm sorry that you were raised to be squeamish at the sight of blood, but that does not give you the right to force me to eat only vegetables or wear only plant fibers.

I'm sorry that you can't afford health insurance, but that does not give you the right to force me to provide it for you.

I'm sorry that over 150 years ago people with the same color skin as me enslaved people with the same color skin as you, but that doesn't give you the right take the hard-earned efforts of my labor for yourself.

I'm sorry that your homeland is corrupt and your culture has no work ethic, but that doesn't give you the right to come here illegally and burden our schools and emergency rooms with your presence.

I'm sorry that your parents chose to come here illegally, but that doesn't give you the right to force me to fund your college education.

I'm sorry that you find it fashionable to ride your bike to work, but that doesn't give you the right to take away my car.

I'm sorry that your lack of intelligence and attention through high school and college left you fit only for a job as a public school teacher, but that doesn't give you the right to inflict your anger and ideology on my child.

I'm sorry that you are mentally and physically unfit to serve in our nation's Armed Forces, but that does not give you the right to disparage those who are fit and do serve.

I'm sorry that your parents and teachers continually told you that you are unique and special, but you are not.

I'm sorry that the jocks stuffed you in your locker in high school, but that doesn't give you the right to equate my President with Hitler.

I'm sorry that you failed Trigonometry, but that doesn't give you the right to equate Sociology with Engineering

I'm sorry that you are not as attractive as other women, but that does not give you the right to impose your feminist idiocracy on me, my company or my family.

I'm sorry that your nervous system is so exquisitely sensitive that you can be hurt by minute variations in air pressure caused by sound waves, but that doesn't give you the right to determine what I can and can not say.

I'm sorry that your enormous ego coupled with a complete lack of self-esteem, lack of any sense of self-worth and ignorance about how the real world works has led you to becoming a Liberal, but... Well, no buts. I'm not really sorry.

Remember: Anyone who tells you "it's for the children" believes that YOU are a child.

Conversely, I see nothing that ALLOWS them, either.

It’s spelled out in the post. It includes drunk pedestrians, but says that they’re still the minority (so drivers are the major cause).

You yourself for some reason say to “note particularly the last sentence”:

“The term ‘alcohol-related’ does not indicate that a crash or fatality was caused by the presence of alcohol”

But I’m not sure why you said to note it. I guess you’re just saying we’ll assume the #s are all alcohol-caused, not merely related. I couldn’t see how you really addressed the last sentence.

State or local law.

If screening for compliance with motor vehicle law by conducting compliance check points considered reasonable, then there is no Constitutional issue, at least imo.

Does that mean I like the check points? No way!

“You don’t have a ‘right’ to drive. Sorry, your just wrong about this one. The others I tend to agree with. But driving is not a ‘right’ under any interpretation of the Constitution.”

You do have constitutional right against unreasonable search and seizure. Just because you happen to be driving at the time, in no way lessons that right. Sorry, you are just wrong.

“Its not unreasonable, given when it occurs, and the number of dead each year as a direct result of drunk drivers, and the fact that driving is not a right.”

Who died and made you God? You have no right to decide everyone in America has to give up the right against unreasonable searches just because you say so. If someone is driving erratically then the search is reasonable, but to pull everyone over and search them just because you say it’s ok, isn’t.

i'm sorry that you can't see the inherent contradiction between those three statements.

Love it! And,,,every time a teacher complains about his salary, other true professionals should tell them to stop whining.

Also....they aren’t “liberal”. They are Marxists and Useful Idiots.

We are in a philosophical civil war and we will not win unless we start calling them what they REALLY are: Marxists and Useful Dimwits.

Who the Hell are you talking to newbie?

Let me guess: you were the kid we used to stuff in the locker.

i'll bet that you're far more familiar with the inside of your school locker door than most people on this board, eh tough guy?

Maybe you should get your mind right, learn a little logic, and you won't be taken to task for posting inconsistent $#!t.

i'm really sorry that you know nothing of logic, but don't assume that the rest of us are morons.

Not only that, we’d hang him by an atomic wedgee in the gym then pull his shorts down to his knees. lol

And for some reason those kids never felt that they then had a right to shoot dozens of kids and teachers in the school.

Hmmm. Must have struck a nerve. Now he’s gone and gotten his “Keyboard Commando Superhero” cape in a wad.

I wouldn’t offer that up to a cop that pulls you over, however

Of course not. It’s been many years since law enforcement has had a policy to uphold the Constitution, in spite of the fact that that’s in the oath they all swear.

***That’s what I should have said in the last political discussion I had with someone in our church group. Where were you 2 weeks ago?

hah hah, that’s pretty funny.

Did the person moving down a highway at 60mph lose his right to reasonable search just because he’s on a road?

That’s just tacky.

Don’t post that insult towards me, thanks in advance.

Don't know what happened with that post, lost my connection midstream and just got it back.

Stop insulting my liberties with your rhetoric, and I'll stop insulting your rhetoric.

Thank you in advance.
