Further Proof the GOP is a Freakshow

Try this one then. There are communities of Indians in the US. They are basically divided into two type. Those with communal property and those with private property. Would you care to guess which ones have nice well kept houses and yards and which look like slums?

 

I know this is your response to Joe here rlm but I really have to chime in.

I'll get over it if it offends you.

Who are the "Indians" in question for starters? Are they Native Americans or Indians? It's hard to tell by your post when you provide no backing so please do so. We need to know. Really.

Cite Fox News if you have to as usual. Then we'll KNOW it's fair and balanced.

Then please explain the definition of well kept houses and yards vs those which look like slums.
Is it like the Cleavers and the Bumpuses?

Finally, just for the heck of it, would ANY of these people want fracking going on in their back yard?

Just have to ask and finally....

rlm, Bumpuses and fracking all gave me red squiggly lines for misspelling.

 

I just prefer to get back to the issue that the thread was intended to address. "Christians" want the state authority to discriminate against anyone they deem gay. There is so much wrong with that, that it is hard to know where to begin. Not that long ago, "Christians" also wanted the right to discriminate against blacks....sorry Coinous...African Americans. How did that work out for them? In this country we look for ways to bring people together, not divide them and this idiotic Arizona law divides people. The Right-wingers are so concerned with "religious freedom" that they are willing to take away the freedom of other Americans just to be treated like other Americans. How messed up is that? Besides, if a gay person walks into their business, how would they know if that person was gay? These ill-conceived unconstitutional bigotry laws that the Right-winger seem to love come down to the fact that if you own a business, any business, you have more rights than an average American. If you want to use your religion as hammer to force your beliefs down the throats of other people, using your business to discriminate is just one more way to do it. You can put a sign in your window expressing your faith. Who cares. But the days of whites only lunch counter style discrimination are in the past. Deal with it.

 

The ones with casinos.

 

Are you saying they have the slums?

 

Similar anti-gay bills are being legislated in several other states pushed again by Republicans using similar language as the Arizona bill. Discrimination is something we try to get away from in this country except for one bastion of discrimination nirvana, the GOP. Again WTF is wrong with you people? Are you mental? Why is discrimination so near and dear to your hearts? Wait! I think I just figured out the problem.

 

I really hope Governor "bone finger" Brewer signs this into law. Oh please, oh please, oh please...

Vetoed.

Money talks.

Or the possibility of not getting it.

 

And how much was she paid to veto it last year?

 

More "hope" that's been shot to hell....

 

We queers may have dodged the bullet in Arizona, but there's plenty more where that one came from.

A Kansas Tea Party group, Kansans for Liberty, is trying to get a bill similar the one in Arizona back on track in the Kansas legislature. It's been on hold in the senate for a couple of weeks. Apparently the leadership got cold feet about bringing it to a vote and the Kansans for Liberty, who think it's just the kind of thing that Kansans need, are trying to put some spine into them.

Additionally, there's a bill before the Idaho legislature that would allow state-licensed professionals such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, realtors, and lawyers and about 20 occupations to refuse service to gays and presumably anyone else who is on the wrong side of their religion. If you're an emergency responder you do have to assist say, an accident victim who is bleeding to death, even if you perceive him or her to be be gay or some other unholy abomination. But otherwise you can just tell them to take a hike if you've decided your God doesn't like them.

Meanwhile, in Tennessee a bill was introduced that would allow a vendor or provider who disapproves of marriage equality to refuse to supply goods or services if said goods or services would be used to further (whatever that means) civil unions, domestic partnerships, or same-sex marriage. The original sponsor backed out on that one, but it's been taken up by others firmer in the faith.

Of course all this pisses me off, but at the same time it's kind of fun. These RW cranks and religious nut jobs are obviously feeling the heat. These are moves of desperation and watching them with their backs to the wall is quite satisfying. Not to mention it's the best advertising in the world for how totally and hopelessly lost in the fever swamp these idiots are. I mean even Mitt Romney, he of the Mormon faith, found the Arizona bill to be a little much, as did Get-Off-My-Lawn McCain, and a large number of others in the corporate Republican establishment. There are few things more satisfying than watching the Republican faction of the NCP tear itself apart in the center ring.

At what point in my statement did I say she was paid anything at anytime?

Interpretation and faulty at that on your part.

The LALALALALA I'm not listening (but somehow responding....curious?) approach grows old. Really old.

So I reiterate.

At what point in my statement did I say she was paid anything at anytime?

I REALLY want to know.

 

Indeed. I think the GOP needed to own this crap legislation they voted for. I knew it would get defeated by the courts but holding up the GOP's love of discrimination and rubbing it in your faces is just too good to resist. How does it feel knowing your support these folks? You do know that the are like 12 other states where Republicans have pushed the exact same nonsense? We still got plenty of time for you idiots to shoot yourselves in the foot then put that foot in your mouths.

 

Want to play semantics, huh? So you win. Now tell me, who's money talked ("Or the possibility of not getting it") when she vetoes the bill last year?

 

What bill last year? You never specified. Are we supposed to guess?

 

I would imagine that the money in question is what over here is called the pink £, the gay community as a whole has a degree of spending power so do not forget that such boycotts can work both ways. not only in loss of sales but also in loss of tax revenue.

 

Still waiting Bubba!

 

Yet another American Taliban failure. They should stick to endlessly voting to repeal ACA.

 

"The Tea-Party" is officially "outed"...

 

Has a youtube link to that been posted on this place yet? It really is nice
