Just the disconnect is astounding



So good from Samantha Bee. I don't know how these people reconcile the idea that personal liberty is the bedrock of our society, and then turn around and say...
Sure, one can make a list for democrats: seatbelt & helmet laws, healthcare, sin taxes, soda bans, gambling, all with a big dose of inconsistency.

I think the fundamental disconnect here is that when you live in a free society, you have to put up with others doing things that you do not approve of. This includes things that are against your value system or moral code or religious beliefs. So you must compromise a right; OK, but for fucks sake do it to benefit the larger society. This is not socialism, it's just how we decide that we all drive on the right side of the road, how much rat feces is allowed in cereal, and to support basic research.

Anyway, the comedy is what's important. Watch the comedy.

Mind boggling, you might say.
