Statement from FedEx:
"FedEx is a common carrier under Federal law and therefore does not and will not deny service or discriminate against any legal entity regardless of their policy positions or political views...FedEx has never set or changed rates for any of our millions of customers around the world in response to their politics, beliefs or positions on issues."
When Federal Express came out with the above statement it made me think. I am being discriminated against because of my political views, beliefs and positions on the issues. Just because I believe in the 2nd Amendment doesn't make me less of a person. There was one individual in the news screaming that I am a terrorist and have the blood of children on my hands. I can assure that person that I have never entertained the thought of "terrorism" nor do I believe my actions have ever endangered children. That was an offensive unfair statement leveled at 2nd Amendment supporters.
Imagine the signs placed on businesses decades ago which say "XXX may not do business here" or "XXX may not apply". Basically there are groups of people out there...who shall remain nameless...that are screaming on public stages not to do business with people who support the 2nd Amendment.
Ive come to the conclusion I am a victim of discrimination. There are some people out there who believe that certain people in society...people they disagree with...should be discriminated against. However, there are parts of the Declaration I might point out...such as all people created equal and justice for all. Accusing me of "terrorism", telling me who I should do business with or telling others not to do business with me and discriminating against me because of my views on the issue...versus engaging in an honest civilized debate...goes against that spirit of equality and justice.
Let me end this post by stating. I do not appreciate being victimized because of my beliefs. As a reminder, the security of society is the primary responsibility of the police. Competent and motivated officers should be placed in strategic positions to maximize that security. The police should be taking serious all reports of threats to our security and well being. The leadership of these law enforcement agencies should be more competent and qualified then the officers they manage and supervise. They shouldn't be tending to politics or political events, but the agency they manage and supervise first and foremost. People who are obviously not mentally well should be tended to and examined and not let get to the point of critical mass. If those concepts were well tended to then we would not be at the point we are today.
