Why do democrats think they can violate the rights of the minority if they have the mob on their side?
but when it comes to gay marriage and abortion, they say the majority can't violate the rights of the minority?
Democrats always say the majority are against 2nd rights.
A lot of the idiots answering don't seem to understand that mob means majority.

They don't. How have Democrats violated the rights of the minority with mob rule? Do you think you have a right to not have a black man president or something?
Rights are rights because they are what is right. Convincing a majority of people that they are not right does not stop them from being rights. We are a nation dedicated to protecting the rights of all its citizens, not one dedicated to enforcing Judeo-Christian morality. We are a democratic republic, not a totalitarian theocracy. If you want to live in a country where religious values are enforced by law, move to Iran or something.

Mob does not mean majority, idiot. That being said, that is a common failing in all humans, it is only "tyranny of the majority" if it is being used against you. It is ok when they are on your side.

Democrats want to keep firearms out the hands of crackpots. And the crackpots are a minority that can be very dangeous.

excuse me, chewy, but where in this question are references to racism or theocracy? why must you bring those into the consversation?

I think it's because Democrats are like clouds. When they are heavy, it rains and provides groundwater for plants, and when they are light and wispy, it is sunny and provides photosynthesis to plants.
