not one single RIGHT of yours trumps any single RIGHT of mine. It's that bullshit thinking that's made a mess of this country.

Hey, I can use strawmen too. Especially in response to one.
One would expect a lot of things about people. You would expect that they would know that driving while drunk is an incredibly bad idea. Obviously not. I don't see what liberal or conservative politics has to do with that fact. Drunk driving is by far the leading reason for revocation of driving priviledges. What you're saying is that the state has no mandate to provide safe roads by controlling who is and is not allowed to drive on them. What logically follows from that is the removal of speed limits as well as all other street and road laws. That makes it ok to drive on the sidewalk when it's convenient for you. As long as I get out of the way in time, everything's fine.
Bullshit.
Where has anyone taken a right away from anyone here? If you cannot demonstrate the ability to safely pilot a vehicle consistently, then you are a public menace. Perhaps we should repeal the laws against murder as well.
