well many of the things you supported just lead naturally to what we are seeing now. For example, in the 1968 civil rights bill, anything that has 'disparate impact' on one race violates the bill. Well, law enforcement has disparate impact on blacks because they commit more crime. Ergo, we cannot have law enforcement.Varnaj42 » 11 Aug 2024, 7:25 pm » wrote: ↑ In my middle eighties now.

That's not really a party thing. It happens all the time. But something did happen to the democrat party. When the globalists' power grew to the point where their existence was obvious the US democrats began joining with them policy wise. This continued to the point where I no longer recognized my lifelong party. More recently the woke phenomena came along and the gender confusion? None of those issues whould be of concern in politics.
Lately we find people wanting special rights for groups of citizens. The gays want mroe rights. Gender benders what this or that. But I say all of these people already enjoy the exact same rights that we all have, courtesy of the Constition and the Bill of Rights. They are perfectly adequate. No one group should have any special privilege.
Abortion? Abortion rights? I, personally, am against abortion except for valid medical reasons but I am not about to try to force my views on others. I say everyone should have freedom of choice in this very serious area of life. The troubleis though that I do not believe our federal government should be involved. No. I agree with the reversal of Roe VS Wade simply because I believe the States should have the authority.
I have always been a moderate democrat. I believe the States should have much more authority than they presently do. The federal government should concerrn itself with our country's global, political questions and very few internal ones.
Yes. The difference 'tween Fox and MSNBC is an illusion to be sure. So.... I avoid them both. I find that watching the events in the rest of the world can be more interesting than paying attention to my own country only. Deciding what or who to believe is an argument that goes away as soon as we discover that the only way to raise our minds above the level of the **** is to use the time tested and correct way pushed forward by the greatest thinker of our time, George Carlin who once famously did a piece on what he called "the subtle art of not giving a ****". When all else fails this is sound advice. And.... I have a frige full of beer. (not Bud)Cannonpointer » 12 Aug 2024, 12:10 pm » wrote: ↑ Fox and MSNBC ARE on the same side of the argument.

WHat does Fox say about trannies? THEY CALL BRUCE JENNER SHE. They arew on the same side with MSNBC - just slow walking, and pretending to oppose. Only suckers are fooled.
It can reveal a great deal more than that.
It can reveal the intent to soundly and publicly reject political correctness.
No. I do not agree. When you speak I find a mixture of truth and conjecture. I am NOT a follower. I do my own thinking. You do yours. If we find concurrance here and there we're luckier than most.

"Wrong body" is a bit dramatic - but I agree that they hurt.
An altered male is no more a woman than a dog with lopped nuts is a bitch. God/Nature makes women - surgeries don't.
I do not cede to conservatives the liberal principle of protecting women from sex fiends. I remain a liberal and oppose men in women's showers, prisons, and sports - up to and including those who are altered.

A is A and can never be B.
A male can be altered. He cannot be transformed, except in spirit only by the hand of God.
I have no idea why a fellow's "sincerity" should even come into play in the conversation. We are talking about science, not faith - about biology, not religion.
That is why they are disreputable. An opinion may be uttered in bad faith.

I voted for Obama twice but since then I've seen the democrat party move further to the left than I care to go. This time, this next election, I'm voting for Kennedy. He is a real democrat, one who is not afraid to stand against the quest for global power that is so strong in our world today.
I suppose I'm going to catch hell for expressing my opinion. Oh... one more thing. Racism. It does exist to an extend inside of each of us. There are no official, national policies that are meant to be racist though. I remember the America of the 1950s. I was a teen then in high school. I remember damned well what blacks had to put up with. All of that is gone now. Those who claim America is tainted by "institutional racism" do not know what they are talking about. In the late 1960s all that was dealth a death blow. Does racism exist today? Sure but it's inside of each of us, not the government. I'm glad it's gone but one more thing. Reverse racism is just as bad as the original, anti minority, kind. Those actions that harm whites now are just as bad as those older ones that harmed blacks and Jews long ago. Again though... it iswe who harbor these kinds of things. No legislation or orders can make them go away if we hold them close.
I myself sometimes have anti black tendencies. When I hear an angry black using foul language (bitches. mother ****... etc) I react by wanting to be as far from that person as possible. I will never accept that kind of crude, uncivilized speech when I have the power to avoid it. This is the extent of my racist tendancies. Each of us has to fight our own demons. Life is not supposed to be easy. If it were we would never learn anything.
