When they get their hands on the controls, it's all abortion bans, same sex marriage bans, kissing in public......
I'd rather they keep their heads up their arses.

As a Libertarian, I can assure you that government overreach by *either* side will be equally bashed.
When are people going to learn that just because you have power does not mean that you have to use it.
Leave people alone. Let them live their lives peacefully. But people all over the globe will never learn.

@kevcvs57 saidI'm not religious, but the Christians I know are a lot more tolerant and decent than your average woke leftard.
Religious scum have been grooming our kids for millennia you’ve probably groomed your kids into your religious delusions.
For their sake I hope you failed.
Oh let’s not forget the priests, vicars, nuns, and monks that have been grooming and sexually abusing kids for millennia.
Lol I love the way they distract the parents into worrying about LGBTQ+ rights, very clever.

@sleepyguy saidYeah you must be hanging out with progressive quakers or some such, I don’t mind religious types who leave everyone else out of their delusional worldview but when they start legislating based on their beliefs they are walking into my crosshairs.

@kevcvs57 saidAnd leftists don't legislate based on their beliefs? You think folks on the left won't happily trample on people's rights based on their own deluded beliefs? Gimme me a break.

Try tolerance instead of crosshairs.
@sleepyguy saidWhat a perfect epitaph for what used to be a respectable, if flawed, conservative political viewpoint.
I worry more about having the freedom to reject experimental vaccines, CRT and woke transgender insanity.
Now the "mainstream" right wing is all about inflicting maximum misery on minority groups while rejecting scientific knowledge and insisting on suppressing historical truth.
Well and doing whatever they can to destroy whatever democracy exists in the US.

@sleepyguy saidYes. There are very nice people amongst them. They don't fly airplanes into buildings and create news items for months.
I'm not religious, but the Christians I know are a lot more tolerant and decent than your average woke leftard.
But the quiet background stuff going on is just as dangerous.
Especially when they get their reins on the controls of a society.
I can tell you that I have seen on numerous occasions where a microphone in front of small elderly woman who tells the reporters in a quiet voice that "God has plans for America".
This kind of stuff is just as dangerous as her wearing a bomb vest.
There is a significant movement being pushed by about 20-25% of the population.
This kind of stuff happened in Iran.

@sleepyguy saidYou cannot be stupid enough to equate a political belief or economic theory both of which can be tested in the real world with a belief that tells you to stone adulterers, homosexuality is an abomination and eating shellfish is a transgression against an almighty being.
And leftists don't legislate based on their beliefs? You think folks on the left won't happily trample on people's rights based on their own deluded beliefs? Gimme me a break.

You claim to not be religious 🤔
Yeah the left can get it wrong, as can the right. But if you have god on your side you can never get it wrong, that’s the problem when politicians pick up the Bible, Koran, Talmud or any other religious text you care to mention. Unlike political an economic theory they are by definition infallible.

@mghrn55 saidAlito should have given the speech in Latin for extra gravitas and bonus points among the traditionalists, especially if he's planning to retire from SCOTUS and run for POTUS or World President.

I hope he wasn't trying to sell himself as a non-activist judge.
Whining about religious liberty being under attack.
While in the same speech saying that challenge is to "convince people that religious liberty is worth defending if they don't think that religion is a good ...[text shortened]... de other people's freedom of religion.
I'm more worried about having my freedom to reject religion.

@Sleepyguy
Yeah, we can't have stories about the truth of hundreds of years of blacks being slaves and shipped over from Africa under terrible conditions where a good percentage of them DIED en voyage. No, the history must be written STRAIGHT, like how we lovingly got those Africans here, how they VOLUNTEERED to work in their new home.
And why should the great great great grandkids be bitching NOW, they are not slaves.
But the stigma of being black is still with us and you know THAT full well.
If you think otherwise, I dare you to wear black makeup and have a cop give you a ticket and see what happens.
