Biden slams Jefferson Davis -- despite past vote to restore Confederate leader's US citizenshipI missed the JD comment. Who said that?
If you want to lock people up for disagreeing with you, I have to side with him. Australia has their unvaccinated on a form of house arrest that does not even allow them to leave home to work.
So, if I think his post is corny as f***, I must support imprisoning deniers of science such as yourself?
It would not surprise me one bit to see you "side" with that post, 8188. No one's exactly accusing you of being a MENSA member.
lol.........Accusing well intentioned people who disagree with your policies of being Jefferson Davis is not what I call unifying steps “in the right direction”.
That’s crazy, but look how these things try to skew the appearance.
Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Such a policy would be opposed by a strong majority (71%) of all voters, with 78% of Republicans and 64% of unaffiliated voters saying they would Strongly Oppose putting the unvaccinated in “designated facilities.”
——————-
45% democrats would favor
78% republicans strongly oppose
64% unaffiliated strongly oppose
Which leads to question what about the 55% of democrats that oppose, do they oppose strongly?
Do the 22% of Republicans favor?
Yet the headline says
Dems want unvaxxed put in CAMPS.
Which can be construed so many ways, especially to fuel the fear and divide.
The party that overwhelmingly believes that the government should just stay the heck out of your business in most cases definitely has the moral high ground. Freedom used to be held in high esteem even on the left.
My post was a direct response to your first post above. You are making the claim that freedom isn't held in high esteem by the left. I think that is an absurd accusation.The debate itself is regarding a poll about locking up people who disagree with the left about Covid and/or vaccines. Yet you attempted to normalize that as just freedom from disease.
You claim it’s not your stance, and I believe you. But you 100% attempted to minimize the disgusting nature of wanting to lock up others due to Covid
If you meant something else, feel free to explain.
You’re damn Right! I’m willing to fight to remain s free as WE have always been. For the sake of this thread and what it was intended to be, show up at my house with a shot in your hand and you better be sure you’re as willing to take my freedom as I am willing to keep itLeft field? You want to fight anyone who would dare wish to change the current Constitution.
So you think this is the absolute perfect version of the Constitution? Not the one you referenced earlier that was created by the founders?You’re damn Right! I’m willing to fight to remain s free as WE have always been. For the sake of this thread and what it was intended to be, show up at my house with a shot in your hand and you better be sure you’re as willing to take my freedom as I am willing to keep it

What you and others should say is that the left and right sometime differ on what actually constitutes the biggest advancement of freedom. Or how to balance personal versus societal freedoms.
How much noise can you make on your personal property before your freedom to make noise is outweighed by your neighbors right to freedom from your noise?
The former vice president, 76, was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that unanimously approved a bill in 1977. The measure was sent to the full Senate, where it was approved without dissent and later signed into law by President Jimmy Carter.
A year earlier, Biden had been among senators who voted to restore citizenship to Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general.
I’ve considered joining, but free time is lacking with the master program. Maybe one day.
But before insulting the intelligence of others and assuming they’re accusing you of supporting an absurd position, you may want to look up the plural definition of “you”. Nothing I stated was an assumption of your stance.
But we can talk about your stance if you wish. You're okay mocking people who refuse to be held as political prisoners? Is that why you mocked his stance?
I wonder what the numbers would have looked like if the question had been addressed for "CoVid or AIDS"
Would the numbers have all been 0% or 100%. Can you imagine the outrage if all IV drug users and homosexual men had been forced to quarantine?
Freedom is defined thusly….My post was a direct response to your first post above. You are making the claim that freedom isn't held in high esteem by the left. I think that is an absurd accusation.

I think nothing is perfect. Not you, not I, not this country. But what it is is the best country in the world to live in. So learn to live with the imperfections because you’ll never obtain your goal of perfection.So you think this is the absolute perfect version of the Constitution? Not the one you referenced earlier that was created by the founders?
