Now you’re being deliberately obtuse. Have a good day.

I’m not being obtuse. I’m being crystal clear with you. If you think God-given, unalienable rights are subject to a majority vote, you don’t really believe they’re God-given, you think they’re man-endowed, and you believe them to be therefore alienable. Unlike the founders of this free republic.

Which makes you, and Mrs. Palin, fundamentally democrats, not republicans, in the pure sense of those words.

Just like the southerners of the 1850s and 60s. They thought states’ rights trumped unalienable rights, too.

Stepehen A. Douglas Democrats. Yep.

Is that pointed enough for you?
