Do What We Say Or Else

A National Rifle Association-backed bill that would force businesses that sell hunting and fishing licenses to help register customers to vote cleared its first legislative hurdle Wednesday.
"Force"?

That doesn't seem very freedom-friendly...

Well.. My first comment is that I would not buy into everything which is written in the media. I think that any business would only need to keep these on hand, and would not face any penalties if they didn't offer them.

..but I agree...

Also I like this comment "Some Democratic lawmakers said the Republican-controlled Legislature's real target is signing up more NRA- and GOP-friendly voters."

My though is SO... Many democrats are supporting allowing felons (who are murders, rapists...) to vote for exactly the same reasons.

Well, think about it for a minute, all that stuff never kept a Kennedy or Clinton out of office, let alone kept them from voting. You might say they are just following their tradition.

Having said what I did in the previous post, I agree with the Democrats that this shouldn't be done, but for different reasons.

There is a word for forcing industry and business to further the reach of state power and act in the interests and in some cases in proxy for government. That word is facism.

I don't support tyranny from any quarter.

Excuse me..... that is fascism. Facism is what I do to my mirror as infrequently as possible......it ain't pretty.
