The donkey story was just for a laugh. The real comedy is that Roger Hedgecock has been stating that this civil rights claim would be made, if the gay rights movement made progress. People have been "beating" Roger up about this prediction, for years now. Now, here it is, just as Roger predicted. Funny stuff! ![]() |

You can describe conservatives in the USA, as "true" proponents of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, as it was written - not as it's "interpreted" by the liberals. Smaller federal government, more freedom and more responsibility for each citizen. Lower taxes, and lower spending. Each party has the RINO's or DINO's: Republicans or Democrats In Name Only, so you have to watch out for them. |

I must have missed the civil rights claim. Was there one? It's not in the article cited.
I love slippery slope arguments. Everyone makes them, for and against. Guns, abortion, you name it. I'm sure someone made the donkey argument in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down miscegenation laws against interracial marriage. The point is that it always comes the the 'reasonable person' argument. That middle of the road man or woman who draws the line. Adak, I'm pretty sure I know where you would have come down on Loving v. Virginia. The reason you don't say so now is the same reason no one else does - that what seemed radical, heretical, and against tradition to a large number of people turned out to be rational public policy. Look at the 'biblical' justification by the segregationist judge ruling against the couple. The wave of ignorance coming off a man in a position of trust is terrifying. Quote:

He has been charged with beastiality, which his attorney has announced they will be fighting as illegal as it violates Carlos's civil rights. That's the announcement - but legal work has to be done before it can be filed. Quote:
Mine never mentions this "burn them alive at the stake", so what you are calling "liberal" NOW, is really quite conservative with the original message of Jesus' teachings. And what you are calling "conservative", in the days of the Inquisition and religious wars and laws, really were quite liberal, weren't they? Because there is no torture recommendation in the Bible - that's something that some Liberals thought up, all on their own. They couldn't accept the real teachings of Christ - so they substituted in it's place, their own doctrine, of hate. And now they want to substitute their own "living document" meanings for our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. No thanks!! We've seen where that kind of thinking leads, before. |
