Summary: people who say things you don't like are basically Hitler.
Yeah, we got that, you don't need to devote a whole new thread to the subject.

I just heard a great talk by David Horowitz in which he characterized an argument between a leftist and a conservative as Godzilla against Bambi, because of the Left's powerful arsenal of accusations against the Right, the accusations of racism and all the rest of the PC baggage, while the right is always on the defensive and has nothing comparable to answer with.
Then maybe the right should stop being racist, instead of just whining about being called on their racism.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
A President who wants to see prosperity return after Obama's selling us out to our enemies economically too, in unfair trade deals. The proof of the pudding is in the amazing growth in the stock market/Wall Street or whatever the right economic term is ...
I think it's generally known as "the Obama legacy" or "the Obama bull market".

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
You can't make little girls feel comfortable or safe in a bathroom where men/boys are allowed.
And yet conservatives wish to make it not merely "allowed" but mandatory by law for these men to use the ladies' room.
Apparently conservatives don't want little girls to feel comfortable or safe when that stands in the way of their more important objective of hurting and endangering trans people.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
Use your head. I identified one problem, you identified another. I did not support any particular solution. How about suggesting a reasonable solution?
Reasonable solution: conservative bigots stop making stupid laws to solve a "problem" which they know damn well doesn't exist.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
It isn't a fear of something happening we're talking about, it's a social situation no child should be forced to experience ...
... and which conservatives wish to make mandatory under penalty of prosecution.

The New Testament doesn't apply to nations. I don't know how many times I have to say this before somebody might at least remember that I said it ...
We all know that you said it, what was wrong with it, and how you were unable to rebut any of the faults we found with it. My memory of you losing this argument is crystal-clear. Yours may need refreshing.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
Why can't Leftists tell the difference between a socially determined attitude and a natural fact.
Anxiety over sharing a bathroom with someone with a different number of X chromosomes is a socially determined attitude.

There's no way for me to have lost such an argument with an idiot atheist Leftist.
An interesting hypothesis, but as you often lose arguments with me, either it is false or I am not an idiot.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
What I want is an admission that the LGBTQ agenda to change bathroom use has serious problems that need to be addressed.
It has no problems, Faith, and nor is it a change. You think that up until now this guy has been going in the ladies' room like conservatives want him to but now suddenly he's gotten all bolshy and is demanding to go in the gents'?
Other way round, Faith. He has of course been using the gents' all this time, which caused absolutely no "serious problems" to anyone, and now suddenly conservatives are demanding that he should be compelled by law to use the ladies' room, to his distress and quite possibly that of the other patrons.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
There is no problem, as far as I know, if someone can pass for the sex that belongs in the bathroom of choice.
So, you think the new laws being imposed by conservatives are stupid? Good.
Duh. that is not the problem I'm talking about.
Well, that's the problem your fellow-conservatives are all trying to fix.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
No, there are real problems that need addressing.
Namely? What bad things have happened as a result of the absence of dumb conservative bathroom laws?

The Bathroom Police
If a person can't get away with using the bathroom of choice and freaks out little kids or other human beings, there is a problem.
I asked "what bad things have happened" for want of these dumb laws, not "what bad things can you imagine". So, can you point me to an actual problem rather than ifs and buts? Just one instance?
C'mon, when liberals want more gun control, they can point to at least one instance of someone being shot. Maybe even more! And yet that doesn't convince you for some reason. But conservatives want us to adopt rules and regulations which would prevent something of which there are apparently no instances.
Given the obvious disadvantages of such laws, explained upthread, I would be reluctant to impose them to prevent something which has never actually occurred.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
Why oh why can't leftists think? This is a category error. I'm talking about Political Correctness which is an arsenal of weapons used in the war against everybody who disagrees with them. Not the occasional epithet somebody on the right slings at a leftist in the heat of argument. There is no organized weaponry of character assassination on the right ...
Of course there is. What planet are you living on?
Hey Faith, have you noticed how in your post you repeatedly call Genomicus and his opinions "Marxist" because you disagree with them? You'll be astonished to learn that this is not just an "occasional epithet" and that other people on the right also use this term to defame people who disagree with them.

Re: The Bathroom Police
Little girl won't go into the newly transgendered bathroom at her school because there are boys in there, so every day she wets her pants.
When and where did this happen?
Remember, I am asking about actual problems, not imaginary ones.
