Republican Voter Suppression Efforts

“most equipped”


Uh huh.

He's partially right though. Voting is not a God given or universal right. It is a right that is provided under our Constitution and its amendments.

What is a god-given right?

 

[Biff Tannen]

I don't know. Is there such a thing ?

 

[ConnorEl]

Apparently, at least, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

*...to them whut be most equipped t’ enjoy them.

 

[Tobacco Road]

I don’t think so. Pretty sure another person can take away just about every “god-given” right.

 

[ConnorEl]

Any “right”, regardless of its origin, can be taken away or denied.

 

[ConnorEl]

Thus we must equip ourselves to vigilantly defend them.


Preferably for everyone.

 

[ConnorEl]

Unless you’re poorly equipped or inclined to do so.

See this thread.

Any “right”, regardless of its origin, can be taken away or denied.

But that doesn't make it God given.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Maybe "God given right" equates to "human right" for a lot of people. Still, I don't think voting is a human right.

 

[ConnorEl]

You have a right to yer ‘pinion.

Without suffrage there is no liberty

Gotta keep that plutocracy in place boys! I wonder how much of that Koch money is going to selected Democratic as well as Republican pols.

 

[ConnorEl]

We’re the real victims here, they’ll keep crying, in the hope that it will heighten the salience of Whiteness and keep voters from asking what the GOP has actually done for them lately.

Yep
