Personally I object to the government having the final say regarding who I am. The RealID Act was written in such a way that people are no longer to use any variation on their legal names, such as using a first initial plus middle name, or using a shortened or nickname version of their name. These were very common practices formerly, and continue despite the government's forcing people to submit to name tyranny at banks, businesses and everywhere else that ID is required to participate in society.
Agreed. At the very least, people ought to be able to tell the government what form our full, legal name will have on our official identification. Without being forced to go to court and change it every time we want to vary our name in any way.
What is the source of the attribution of 30330 to Biden?
>Why are networks afraid to let voters ask Joe Biden some tough questions?
It's obvious: Because Biden's puppetmasters wouldn't be able to write the responses and coach Quid-Pro-Joe repeatedly until he managed to come across as "natural."
While it's true that police don't WRITE the laws, it's also true that they are the ones deciding whether or not to oppress people based on how they ENFORCE the laws. Commonlaw principles would dictate that if a citizen is harming no one, then that citizen is peaceful and not subject to having his or her rights infringed. However, statute codes have been created specifically to subject a free people to unjust controls as a function of government-dictated social policies. Under the latter criteria, police are encouraged to pull over vehicles whose license plate lights are dim or faulty; whose driver appears (in the judgment of the officer) to be suspiciously too old or young; and many other equally arbitrary and capricious excuses for harassing peaceful citizens.
Drunk-driving laws opened the door for traffic checkpoints, which have evolved into forced bloodletting and DNA collections against our will. I agree - to a point - that, IF someone causes harm ato another AND said perp has a high blood-alcohol level, the penalties for the crime MAY warrant harsher penalties. However, I object the the vast litany of penalties which have been heaped upon peaceful people if perchance they end up in the crosshairs of revenue-generating badge-wearers and are subsequently determined to have imbibed any alcohol at all. The laws (codes, really) have been written such that if a person has ANY detectable alcohol in his or her system, said person becomes vulnerable to myriad penalties and loss of freedom. It is mission creep to be sure, but it's gone way too far.
Apparently their shipment if illegal Chinese firearms slipped past the US Customs inspectors. Wisconsin residents, time to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights to protect your lives, loved ones and property.
Most badge-wearers will rationalize their oaths vis-va-vis job security and do what they're told, whether that means "stand down" while peaceful people are beaten, burned and murdered or whether it means patrol an area seeking ways to increase revenues so the police chief can stay in good graces with the mayor. Most people are like that; they will look first to their own security before thinking about wider consequences of their actions or higher principles involved.
