True or false? We shouldn't have laws because people don't obey them?

Isn't that the argument the teabaggers make on so many issues?

5. True. That is FAR to coherent a message for the teabaggers

A more honest message for them would be "I hate the government despite directly receiving many benefits from it." A secondary message might be "no black people in the White House."

They are not against most laws, other than perhaps tax laws, welfare, rules of proper conduct, election laws, general logic, several scientific laws, common sense, statistics, and maybe a basic understanding of how our government works, or is supposed to.

4. False.

That's just a lame excuse for breaking a law.

8. It doesn't have to be teabaggers. Try those who feel all guns should be legal everywhere.

"Most of the problems we have with gun violence is the lack of enforcement of laws already on the books. We don't need more gun laws."

So, you then ask them which laws they like and which ones -- if enforced to their fullest -- would prevent gun violence. They are happy to report: None of them!

Idiots are everywhere.

9. False

We shouldn't pass unenforceable laws, we shouldn't pass unconstitutional laws, we shouldn't pass laws that are repressive to ordinary law biding citizens and accomplish nothing as far as reducing crime.
