The Totalitarian Leftist Tactics against the Right

So what if that is true? The Chinese also invented gun powder, but we don't look for a Chinese killer every time somebody gets shot. Anyone can use PC tactics, and the examples given here show that any Marxist head start was overcome long ago.

You continue to say this. Yet the record shows that you are the one poster who has wished ill on the other posters here. Your statement is pure projection.

The origin of the term is totally irrelevant. Just as anyone can use gun powder, anyone can use political correctness against their opponents. This post of yours reeks of you slinging around terms like Maoist and communist simply as attacks on folks and not on the substance of their complaints about you.

Is there a single wingnut conspiracy that you won't buy into?

Once again, you heard something completely inaccurate. Houston attempted to pass an anti-discrimination ordinance, that would have, among other things, banned discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The opposition to this bill attacked it as being a bathroom ordinance allowing men into women's bathrooms even though as you are well aware, transgender folks were already using the bathroom matching their gender identity.Here is the text of proposition 1.

quote:

---

Are you in favor of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, Ord. No. 2014-530, which prohibits discrimination in city employment and city services, city contracts, public accommodations, private employment, and housing based on an individual’s sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, familial status, marital status, military status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity, or pregnancy?

That's right. The feds left it to the states to be totalitarian and to dictate where no dictation is necessary.Seriously. How is respecting individual rights an example of totalitarianism? The result of the feds butting out is that BS over-reaching state laws that prevent local governing are in effect.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Well, no. Because the state of Texas responded by crafting a state law to outlaw similar ordinances in cities that had passed laws similar to the ordinance in Houston. The state law would require that folks use the bathroom based on what is on their birth certificate. In addition, to make clear that it is not just about using the bathroom, the new bill would prevent cities from passing anti-discrimination ordinances of any type or scope.

Bigots always have a justification. Nobody is a villain when they get to tell the story.

Historically, that isn't quite the way it happened. Businesses did not want to serve colored folks, and they and the rest of the citizens passed laws so that they did not have to do so. The result was that segments of the population could not do business in huge stretches of the cities and towns in which they lived.

That is not correct. Having no guidelines is not the same as having guidelines once and then having them revoked. It is pretty clear now that there will be no federal enforcement from disregarding LGBT rights under Title IX and no legal obligation to follow the previous guidelines. It is fairly clear that the guidelines no longer describe how the "Departments evaluate whether covered entities are complying with their legal obligations." The Trump administration has now said that such things are to be left up to the states.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

I continue to find this argument fairly silly. The new ways of thinking would expand the application of the law. Removing government sanction of those ways of thinking certainly has a legal effect, particularly when that same government is responsible for appointing judges who would be interpreting the law for the rest of us, and is also responsible for prosecuting violations of Title IX.As an example, I'll note that the Trump' Justice department has withdrawn from fighting an injunction against Obama's guidelines and has indicated that the matter should be left to the states.

You are in good company here...

This is an obvious flat out lie. Obama is on vacation and his administration is gone. Trump spends more time bringing up Obama's name than just about any past president has spent blaming his predecessor, and for the most part, Obama does not even respond.Your post is shamefully inaccurate.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

Let's not quibble about this. You don't have to be raptured to enjoy eternal life. Wanting to be raptured in your own lifetime means wishing a literal hell on earth for your contemporaries.I'd recommend that you get your theology from the Bible rather than some "book you've been reading in fits and starts".
