If you can't see the left wants to take away your human rights, you're BLIND

We do live in a common culture. If you think anything I've said or done is more drastic than drag queens twirking in little kids faces then you have a real problem.

 

You didn't answer my question you attacked me personally. Never did I say that I was in favor of anyone "twirking in little kids faces" I asked if you saw losing your freedom as being hindered from making others do what you want them to do. Answer the question why are you the one who gets to set the moral compass.

 

Bush the younger suggested offering partial privatization. It was roundly rejected as you said. The Washington politicians can use Social Security for control, votes and the big one, job security.

 

Did you drive him to it? I bet it was a cat.

 

I think the point of this thread is extreme. Democrats are more for heavy regulation and big government. Some rights would be taken away, but they have a few policies I agree with. In the same token, far right Republicans take away some human rights as well, but I like some of their policies. At this stage, the far left control in the government is taking things a bit too far, but things are not nearly as bad as the extreme right claim. I disagree with most of what is going on, but my life is not nearly as impacted as the far right cry about.

 

Ah yes, the answer to what you feel is children being indoctrinated is to force the taxpayers to pay for religious indoctrination.

But only your religion of course.

How supremely ironic (and telling what the real agenda is here)

 

Children and animals cannot consent

It’s terrifying that you don’t understand this

 

I think it is eye opening to many people especially more moderate posters to watch what is happening to some of the right wing posters here.

It’s highly visible in about 5 very active right wingers here watching them slowly leave behind any semblance of rationality.

I hope they continue to showcase what far right extremism will do to this nation if we allow it.

 

Oh look, Darth playing the victim again. <shrug>

 

Because we live in a common culture that has lost it's "moral compass." You act as though I want to make others do as I would do, but I am only outspoken as to what I believe to be the one and only "moral compass". See.....freedom entails I get to express in words and actions as to what the moral compass is. You don't get to silence me and call it hate or intolerance. I believe young children are impressionable and absolutely do not need to be entertained with fantasies of unnatural lifestyles! Perhaps that is why the uproar. I think those of my ideas need to take our tax dollars and separate from "public schools" that take it upon themselves to force their ideas on others. After all, schools are government run and they have children in captivity.

Now why do you see anything I said as a personal attack on you? Is it the same reason you see my expressions of morality as forcing others to hold the same? I am going to continue to express them in spite of your illusions. Sorry.

 

It’s amazing anyone can seriously believe the Dems have THAT much power to “take away human rights”. Guess some people aren’t familiar with how the founding fathers set up our govt with the whole Checks and Balances thingy. For that we should all thank our founding fathers.

 

I thought it was apt:

“recklessness arising from despair”.

You’re welcome.

 

They came pretty damned close with the attempted enforced vaccination. I found it hilarious being the government didn't care about the "my body" routine they do with Abortion, except when they want to do something else to your body.

 

I perceived it as an attack when you said, "If you think anything I've said or done is more drastic than drag queens twirking in little kids faces then you have a real problem."

I made no attempt to silence you I asked a question to further the discussion. I did not say you were hateful or intolerant. I still feel the question has not been answered

You seem to be very concerned about your rights, you seem to feel if you don't get what you want it is a violation of your rights. You don't seem that others have rights too.

 

It didn't take long to identify the bullshyte. Have been assigned as the official anti-woke mind virus conservative poster? Cuz, OMG.

 

The louder The Following gets the more pathetic they reveal themselves to be.

"If you think anything I've said or done is more drastic than drag queens twirking in little kids faces then you have a real problem."

It's telling conservatives are more concerned about the effect on kids by drag queens than they are bullets.

 

It's not human rights...it's legal rights. Since the 70's, corporations have pretty much re-written the laws in this country.

Haven't you been paying attention?

 

I sincerely find it sad that so many people appear to be living in fear in their own country. I guess it explains why so many of the same folk feel it so necessary that their right to firearms are so vital and need protection. Interestingly, I don't have that fear and I certainly don't feel the need to have or keep a gun. Is there a correlation? Is it frightened people who want guns?

 

If you are teaching kids anything other than what parents believe is appropriate, it is wrong...period. Otherwise, you might as well hang up the hammer and sickle.

 

That says to me there's a lot of extremely dumb people out there being polled. I've never been polled personally so you could call me a virgin in that regard.

 

The bipartisan immigration reform bill passed by the Senate in 2016 included measures to crack down on employers using illegal immigrant labor. It was blocked by House Repubs. https://www.propublica.org/article/washington-congress-immigration-reform-failure

 

Why are you telling me this?

 

As the husband of a special needs teacher for 32 years I can say with some authority you have no idea what you're talking about. But more to the point, the hysterical accusations of widespread grooming are just part of a Repub narrative designed to mask the fact the party offers no real solutions to the country's serious problems. You know where you can put the hammer and sickle.

 

"Since the 70's, corporations have pretty much re-written the laws in this country."

The House had a chance to do some real, meaningful reform of immigration laws in 2016. Legislation that would have kept illegals from being hired illegally. Repubs kept it from passing.

But the bill did not pass. And its failure revealed how fully the Republican Party had boxed itself in in Congress — the degree to which it had been paralyzed by its own extremity and tactical logic, and the degree to which this intransigence had produced a cynicism among Democrats that amounted to a self-fulfilling prophecy. In retrospect, Congress left itself open to the rise of someone like Trump, who, with his blend of nativism and anti-Washingtonism, was able to draw on resentment of undocumented immigrants themselves and resentment of Washington’s inability to come up with a solution for the problem.

 

Close doesn’t count except in horseshoes and hand grenades
In this case, govt worked the way it’s supposed to when one side alone tries to overreach.
