Re: Thread Misuses the Word "Totalitarian"
Conserva world is a scary thing up is down down is up.
You do realize that the Federal guidance on bathroom rules was because there were laws states were passing restricting bathroom use.
So are you saying there is no preexistent right to use bathrooms? but here is for free speech.
This whole preexisting right thing is a red herring. We have discussed this before. There are no rights without codification by a government, no matter what words they use. There was no preexisting right to free speech in the boundaries of the USA before the ratification of the Constitution.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Thread Misuses the Word "Totalitarian"
Ahhh now that's the rub isn't it.
NCE makes all these claims of totalitarianism and as of yet has NO examples, but it is not beneath him to make shit up to reinforce the narrative he wants to play.
ConservaWorld at it finest and most basic.

Re: ...
I am at a loss how an individual can be totalitarian. He seems to think people supporting bathroom rights have a subconscious desire to be under a totalitarian government.
Or does he have me even more confused than I thought.

Re: Thread Misuses the Word "Totalitarian"
Going to the feds is more totalitarian than going to the state, but the approach can be similar.
The left likes to go to the feds because then you can control all the states. That's even more totalitarian.
Still not a correct use of the term. But then again you just want to use a word that sounds and feel inflammatory.

Re: ...
You clearly do not understand the first amendment. It does not give a religion free rein to do whatever it wants.
In the case of Christianity yes it does.
But of course only a true christian.

Re: Thread Misuses the Word "Totalitarian"
If we relied on common sense we would still believe the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth.
Common sense is about as reliable as eyewitness testimony. In other words not very.

Re: The First Amendment was a response to Christian privilege and meant to limit them.
Wrong. Not backed up by facts or history. None of the things we think of now as fundamentalism existed before the Second Great Awakening. Most americans had rejected the strict teaching of Puritanism and Calvinism at the time of the founding of the USA. The Constitution was written in a way to keep those forces from dominating government and society.
