look, im all for making it mandatory that people can get free legal state IDs that are valid for voting and all of the above, but i see no reason whatsoever that people should not have to prove who they say they are when they are making the biggest decision for the country as you need to decide if you want an ale or a lager
political correctness has nothing to do with being considerate or polite. In factI see it as the exact opposite. Political correctness is a way of thought control on the population. OH you say THAT!!! no, its not THAT anymore, its offensive. now we call them sea kittens and if you dont you are a bad person. Political correctness is the single worst thing to happen to america
newsflash, the world is a shitty place. and if these people want TRUE equality, they should be fighting for equality, NOT exceptions to rules (which it seems is the case here)
I wouldnt be so sure about that. The whole equality thing that has been pushed over the years. We will see if equality is the real goal, if they LGBT community will stand up with the straight community to help us get to use fake names as well. If not, It shows its not about equality but about special rights.
so just because there is a standing army, that means we should ignore the rest of the constitution instead of, i dont know. killing off the unconstitutional army, or amending the constitution to allow for a standing army??
you know, sometimes I wonder why people who want to strip the 2nd amendment are not fighting to become indentured servants and collect a paycheck from washington every week too
a well regulated militia has nothing to do with regulations in a modern sense. It only means "owning a gun, and knowing how to shoot, and the gun be functional"

Actually this is one you can squarely lay at Obama's feet. As this is the result of Executive Orders it is one of the things he can legally change without anyone else being able to stop him or even force him to wait. As he has been President for 6 years and this is something he could change in 6 seconds by simply repealing it, it is his fault at this point.
Exactly. Its not as if he is shy from pointing it out
I've got a pen, and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward

Clearly they dont get the concept of net neutrality because I dont know a single person who is opposed to this
I just read a story 2 days ago about a republican who got caught voting in multiple places. If it happens 1 time, its a problem IMO
I'd unwittingly accessed what counts as child porn.
well, you do your name justice thats for sure

voter id laws are in no way racist. you need an ID to buy beer, smokes, or enter the whitehouse (legally, not just hopping the fense)
If obama requires an ID to meet the president, why is it unfair to need one to vote for him?
perhaps they should legally change their names then? no more problems!
I wouldnt be so sure about that. The whole equality thing that has been pushed over the years.

do i think its a good idea? no, i think its stupid

and the anti second amendment people want to ensure that our government continues to oppress us

it is fair to blame the others, but its just as fair to blame obama for NOT taking action
battleship was a half way enjoyable movie, once you stopped thinking about the fact that it was so called based on a game
sad thing is over the past 4 or 5 years, at least based on american media it looks like the french have more balls than we do at this point in time.
