The analogy that I offered is MUCH more applicable than you are willing to admit. You don't want to vote along the lines of your personal beliefs, while I can find no other way to choose.
As far as making blatant insults, I will hold up at "piece of work" and not return such insults and call you ignorant. I don't ALWAYS say what I really believe.
I find the most interesting concept you offer to be your, in effect, claiming that someone voting along the lines of their own personal beliefs to be "utter nonsense." Very interesting. I suppose our Founding Fathers should have just thrown out their personal beliefs and written the constitution based on the phases of the moon or something. |
And that is what has been argued here. You are willing to force your beliefs on others via elections and I am not. I vote based on a legal argument, not what I believe. I believe it would be a good idea to ban religion but I do not have a valid legal argument to support that POV so I do not vote for any law inhibiting religious freedoms in any way. You on the other hand do not believe in equal marriage. Even though you have no legal argument to support it you will still vote against it.
Your analogy was nothing more than a veiled insult. You know dam well that rape is a violent crime and lacks consent. There is no legal support for rape. None and you know that. Your analogy is has no merit and you know it.
Your insults are just as prevalent as others, you may veil them and dress them up, but they are still insults.
If you read the COTUS and some of the Federal papers, you will find that they did just that in some cases.
