Deplorables

The deplorables outweighs the republicans in the elections it seems. Knocking out the republican congressional who voted the right way to impeach Trump. Those righteous congressionals should create a party that hold values and make it what it is, a two party right wing. They would lose in the general, but would prevent their deplorable primary opponents from winning; creating a democratic victories.

Stop the steal rally

Okay, lets talk about common sense.

If someone goes to a rally to stop something, they are supporting a cause.

If someone attends the rally to stop something and were instructed to march towards the location in unity to stop it, wouldn't that hostile?

Peaceful demonstration are protesting ones grievances, but when protecting is changed from peaceful to armed, that is no longer protected.

Granted, bad actors may revert the atmosphere of the peaceful protest intent towards hostile, but when the group starts off being hostile, then everyone stepping forward at that point would and should be a hostile group.

Common sense.

What are your thoughts that Trump had an army January 6, 2021 and everyone taking a step towards the National Capitol would be considered insurgents?

ThePrivileges and Immunities Clause(U.S. Constitution,Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1,

"Those who come under the denomination of free inhabitants of a State, although not citizens of such State, are entitled, in every other State, to all the privileges of free citizens of the latter; that is, to greater privileges than they may be entitled to in their own State". James Madison discussed that provision of the Articles of Confederation in Federalist No. 42. Madison wrote.

So if a person travels from lets say Illinois to Texas and needs an abortion. Then that womens right to abortion in Illinois should be afforded her in Texas.

Hard Truth about Democracy to live.

Our Democracy is based on our electors doing what the people they serve sent them to do OR follow the Constitution.

Who are our electors?

Answer is candidates that were voted in by the people within a district.

Who decides who belongs to what district?

Republicans say their computer that formulated winning maps.

Democrats have no say.

We need to have an universal approach how our federal and state districts are mapped.

Metropolitan, Interstates, Rivers and county lines. No more Tetris maps.

Regulating the airlines for fuel consumption.

What are your thoughts shutting down the airlines to just weekends? Regulating the airlines should saves fuel consumption, thereby reducing the high need for high octane airplane fuel. Whereby reducing costs at the pumps.

Yes, US would probably be the lone wolf on the regulation, but perhaps the world would follow.

Thoughts?

MO GOP Legislation has passed a bill to end sleeping on State Property

Missouri Legislation has passed a bill that was to make it a crime for homeless to sleep on state property. But, to their ignorance, made it a crime to sleep in state parks and state prisons, because the letter of the law is the letter of the law!

So, with the state prisons, prisoners can not sleep in their cells, must be a wake 24/7. Kinda cruel I do believe...

State parks, there goes my camping trip!

Solution to Guns

I have posted this before and it had a mixed review, but in the Era we are in, we must give and take to get towards a goal. That goal is gun safety.

Why does a person need an AR-15 in their home or small parcel of land? They don't!

Why does a person have to fire their AR-15 for everyone to hear in their backyard? They don't!

Why does a person have an AR-15? Because they spent the money for one to own and believe it is for their protection or prospects of going to war.

Sad but true!

My solution:

You can not simply ask these people to hand you their AR-15. It is nearly waste of time to every consider doing that and they would use it on you if you try to take it away.

Solution: Private individuals can own one if they register the AR-15 and ONLY have it at a private gun club or range where it is stored under lock and key. Any transfer of the weapons must be under a license arms dealer.

1. Gun clubs would profit under this.
2. Storage of the deadly weapon will keep it out of bad actors.
3. Safety of firing the weapon will occur at a range, not in a back yard.
4. This is not taking the weapons away, but a restriction of where the weapons can be.
5. Set a particular date a few months away and anyone failing to adhere to the new law, would severely fined and lost of the weapon.

I am Conservative Democrat that believes in the rights of all people, but also believes in fiscal responsibility. Government programs that support the poor should be protected, but not abused.
