The quandary is that something like 80% of the country supports protecting religious freedom. Plus, this bill doesn't appear to be about making gay marriage unlawful (which would be nonsensical given the recent Supreme Court ruling). The Court has had opportunities to strike down or severely gut the current RFRA and has not thus far.
My question had nothing to do with the General election, Clinton and the popular vote. It was a simple "yes" or "no" question.Why not? It hasn't stopped the GOP from trying. And as you know, most things in this country are not decided by popular vote -- after all, 2% more voters wanted Clinton as president, yet here we are.
Conservatism used to have this "my eyes out of your backyard, yours out of mine" tenant. Some conservatives still think that is something we should return to.
interesting aside, this past week in dubai i heard "grandma got run over by a reindeer" while in a store.
True. I was only using gay marriage polling as an analog for public opinion on these various anti-LGBT/religious freedom bills, because the polling on gay marriage is much more robust. And as I stated before, I still don't see religious freedom and LGBT equality as non-overlapping Venn diagrams. Unfortunately, that's increasingly how the rhetoric is portraying this.
Sorry for the snark.My question had nothing to do with the General election, Clinton and the popular vote. It was a simple "yes" or "no" question.
I'll take that as a "yes" and we can move on
In short, so long as 1000 people will cheer at his rallies, I don't think Trump gives two auburns about public opinion.
Love it!Sorry for the snark.
Actually posted alot on here until I got tired of Trump discussion ( arround january). I am one of those that Trump convinced to not vote republican this year.
I don't know if it ever has been removed. In response to the thought that Trump is succeeding by attacking political correctness, I simply passed along what Trump said during his Wisconsin rally.
Logic/truth/facts are just tools of oppression. See responses to Helen Reece's work. That basic theme was repeated by a friend who is deeply involved in certain academic pursuits related to race and gender and sexual orientation (in response to saying I'd have to wait on the facts to come out regarding one of the police shootings). That said, your criticism of Trump seems valid. Facts are stubborn things. Some people are just more stubborn.
