lets see if you can take a shot at the title

what RATIONAL reason is there to prevent sales on Sunday by those who want to do so

there is no rational reason whatsoever to treat Sunday differently than any other day

I am curious as to why they don't instead just advocate for a law banning Christians from buying alcohol on Sunday.

why should Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, Deists, Agnostics, have to suffer because folks don't want Christians drinking on Sunday?

it makes zero sense.

The title was made irrelevant long long ago when Thunder refused to address questions, and made the whole thread about blue laws. As of yet, nothing has been put forth to support his claims of limiting freedoms, other than the horrible droning on of him repeating the same line over and over again. If the laws were discriminatory, by now they all would have been fought in courts and have been removed.

This thread has come down to nothing more than a long winded, repetitive rant by one person.

if I can't buy wine for my Passover Seder, my freedoms are being restricted.

if I, as a Jew and a non-Christian can't buy alcohol for my enjoyment, because some folks passed a law with the intent of keeping Christians from drinking alcohol on Sunday, my rights are being violated.

why not simply pass a law banning CHRISTIANS from buying alcohol on Sunday? why must Jews, Hindus, Atheists, Agnostics, Deists, Buddhists, have to suffer due to a law thats intended for Christians?

it makes zero sense.

The thread title is about conservative hypocrisy.

True conservatives, of course, don't support the blue laws, and so there is no real hypocrisy there. Perhaps a better title would be something about authoritarians hiding behind conservative masks.

Authoritarians are not really conservatives, even if they tell you they are.

IN all fairness some social conservatives are authoritarians without any contradiction. If you have a bigoted statist law, demanding it remain in place merely because it exists is one definition of "conservative"

The Tea Party probably has a number of hypocritical people. Many oppose healthcare but want to be covered if they got sick.

This is what happens when you let the libertarians or anyone else fight for the crown of being a "true conservative." It degenerates into fantasy.

If you don't like the local laws then get busy and get them changed. I cannot imagine that you would ever run out of whine, no matter what the day or what the laws say.

wine can be run out of if you didn't plan correctly or more folks show up to the Seder.

my right to buy more wine should not be limited by your desire to keep Christians clean & sober on Sunday.
