EvilMonkey Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The Colorado State Democratic Party HQ was vandalized yesterday. Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." Ooops! not so fast, turns out the culprit has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show. When confronted with that fact, Waak doubled-down on her hate by saying "What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said. "That's what's been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse." http://www.denverpost.com/commented/ci_13203950?

StrangeSox Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 They can limit your access to a non-Constitutional-right event, such as a town hall. They can't institute what amounts to a poll tax (according to some) to exercise your right to vote. Isn't that the objection to registering your guns? That you shouldn't need a license to exercise your right? The comparison just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the main objection to registering guns is that it counters the very purpose of 2A, by allowing the government to know who has what guns. But as for the poll tax argument, that's only valid if people cannot obtain a proper ID for free. as long as they can, its not a tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right to freedom of association is recognized as a human right, a political freedom and a civil liberty. So you are going to have a government sanctioned town hall open to the public where people can voice their views, but check those ID's first? I'm surprised you endorse this action by proxy, strangesox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm just pointing out that its not completely analogous to voting rights, though I do get the irony and would support free state ID's and requiring said ID's to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
