MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday argued that even Americans’ “inalienable rights” may be infringed upon by the federal government, including our freedom of speech and Second Amendment rights.
The claim may seem outrageous, but here’s how Mitchell defended her stance after her guest claimed the Obama administration can’t infringe upon Americans’ inalienable rights:
“Well, they can be infringed, because the First Amendment is infringed, I have to obey all sorts of regulations from the FCC, there are things we can’t say in a crowded theater, so every right also carries with it responsibilities and obligations.” In response, Eric Pratt, of Gun Owners for America, provided a well thought out analogy that seemingly dismantled Mitchell’s argument.
“What’s interesting about that, though, is we don’t gag people before they go into the theater, we punish the lawbreakers,” he said. “And in the same way, we would argue punish those who abuse the right, but don’t gag law-abiding citizens before they exercise their right. We shouldn’t be registering them like sex offenders, like they are in New York. We shouldn’t be in any way impeding them if they have not committed a crime.”
I suppose there is a chance that the dumb twit doesn't understand the meaning of the word "inalienable" (or "unalienable"). But more likely she just doesn't "like" it.
She understands it. She is ignoring it like a good Marxist.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Just the twisted mind of a typical liberal speaking of how she wishes things to be and stating them as fact..
Zitat I have to obey all sorts of regulations from the FCC
That is a lie. She works for a channel that is exclusively on Cable or Satellite. The FCC has no control over cable, just channels that are received over the air. From the FCC's own website...
With respect to cable and satellite services, Congress has charged the Commission with enforcing the statutory prohibition against airing indecent programming "by means of radio communications." The Commission has historically interpreted this restriction to apply to radio and television broadcasters, and has never extended it to cover cable operators. In addition, because cable and satellite services are subscription-based, viewers of these services have greater control over the programming content that comes into their homes, whereas broadcast content traditionally has been available to any member of the public with a radio or television.
So if this shriveled old bag wants to discuss in detail her sex life with Alan Greenspan, with live demonstrations, she can all day long on PMSLSD.
Isn't great when one of these ass hats who think they know it all don't even have the sllightest idea of information in their own business.
