No, they are not. Read the pre-amble to the bill of rights. It makes it clear the rights are broad and pre-existing for the Bill of Rights and the Bill of Rights merely clarifies. This is why the right to self defense cannot be restricted b

Right, which is why given there is no enumerated power clause giving them one the federal government has no power to regulate marriage. The problem is, the states legalized gay marriage at the state level, and DOMA which is invalid under th

IF by "in theory" you mean "under the constitution" and by "but" you mean "but in practice" then I agree with you completely. That is my point. In this area and many other areas of human rights, the

She gets no credit for pretending to be pro-gay rights after the fact. IT's not flip flopping its pandering. Trump doesn't pander. He doesn't care about gays much he's not courting the gay vote, but that's appropr

Thanks for that, I hadn't reached back to 2011 for my research. First off, reading this the way you intend, that makes him still less homophobic than hillary. When Oreilley says "they say this violates their rights" he s

You two don't seem to realize that the whole "kenyan muslim" thing -- birtherism and secret muslim- were campaign tactics used by Hillary. So, will you be consistent and say Hillary is a racist? (Would be consistent with her

Nobody opposed Obama for being black. Not even racists in the south. They couldn't care about that because they were too upset with the policies he proposed. The only people talking about Obamas race where Obama supporters who wanted

Republicans were not opposed to Obama because of his race, though for the past 8 years that has been the excuse to avoid talking about the issues. And once again, Liberals are not talking about Trumps positions, but merely calling him racis

Oh, I'm persuaded- just look at the actions of W and Obama - both moved the presidency closer to dictatorship. As for elections not being legitimate, that clam was made repeatedly, with merit, after 2000. The democrats lost, and they

Trumps authoritarianism is much less threatening than the same rhetoric from Obama or Hillary. A lot of people are advocating authoritarianism- in fact thats the point of this whole thread- whether we should "excommunicate" Peter

Also one of Hillary's campaign promises. And basically what Obama has been trying to do. Remember Hillary suggested that we should use a drone to take out Julian Assange. But we should be reminded about Trump taking this position and w

Your comment is a lot of projection of why people might support Trump. I'm not a fan of Trump, and my vote would go to Gary Johnson, but I hope Trump wins. Here's why: 1. I'm gay. Hillary Clinton has campaigned against gay m

I can say that the media took a sharp turn around 2000-2001 era, especially after 9/11. The rise of 24x7 news outlets and the internet (which has killed journalism in newspapers financially) turned it into basically a PR agency for th

Apple has made a big investment in both VR and electric vehicles. Tim Cook has spoken publicly- really rare- about the preference for AR, so he's already positioning the companies approach. This tells me that they have a compelling s

There's a real blind spot for SJWs to this kind of irony. They keep making these exact kinds of errors, over and over again, for instance advocating sexism or racism but thinking its ok because of the particular sex or race they choos

I'd be happy to be at a company for 5-10 years and grow it, that's my preference. I don't want to be a mercenary. The problem is the companies are operating in a way that doesn't incentivize me to do os, by playing game

And companies turn out to be poorly run. With the 4 year vesting schedule, employees are incentivized to leave after a year to diversify their holdings.

You seem to imply that an employee being somewhere for one year is a bad sign. That seems like a prejudice. Sure, staying somewhere only 6 months can be a lack of fit. Staying somewhere a year, though, doesn't mean anything negative.
