"I have a family member who was put on the list. They were NOT able to get off of the list. They repeatedly have to jump through hoops when trying to fly. They have not been accused of, arrested, convicted, or committed a crime. Do you think it is okay for American citizens to be treated in this fashion?
This is a yes or no question. Either you think it is okay, or you do not.""
Her answer:
"I've said what I am going to say about the terror watch list. I have gone around about that with you folks before. My beliefs have not changed. I know you don't like them and that you disagree."
That sounds like a "yes" to me. There you have it, folks, her honest opinion on the matter.
Yeah I was expecting that from her as I followed the exchange. She has no answer, she knows she's wrong, she just thinks it's OK if we do it for guns. Either she thinks we're all idiots when she says they'll work it out after the 'loophole' is closed, or she honestly believes that it won't be the beginning of a slippery slope.
ReplyDeleteSilence is assent, and given that she did not actually answer the question, she was silent on it.
ReplyDeleteThat said, given that Joan adamantly supports a sufficiently authoritarian government to pass and sustain her anti-constitutional, intrusive, abusive, and destructive desires, it does not surprise me at all that she supports authoritarianism elsewhere in our federal structure.
