Nice linking of two liberal rags with no credibility before or after the election...
Can you bring something credible? Or allow me to provide you with a little fact: Liberal Racist Hillary Clinton looked up to Liberal Racist Robert KKK Byrd as a mentor and icon confirmed BY ALL OUTLETS but oft overlooked by the rags like NPR and the Washington post.
Now you know why 70% of Americans have no trust in media.

"In 2010, even the NAACP released a statement honoring Senator Byrd and mourning his passing:"

Snopes > NPR in my opinion.

Can someone put in layman's terms how you can morally justify supporting the First Amendment Defense Act? Genuinely curious what the argument is.

After looking at the numbers I'm in full support of "Caliexit".

Their economy is the eighth largest in the world, much larger than russia's, so guess they could bounce them out of the G8.

Well he wasn't talking about THOSE numbers. Just the ones that don't matter.

What was this in response to? I don't always click on this thread when I come here and miss several posts. Sorry, I read the act and it's indefensible. If you swap LGBTQ with African American, you see how sickening it is.

I'm FOR it, with one caveat. Anyone who takes advantage of the FADA must post public, conspicuous signage informing everyone of their intent to discriminate.

I would call my amendment to the bill the Scarlet Letter Rider.

That's the best idea I've read on this board in at least five years, if not longer. Genius.

You just stole my idea from a couple months ago Go...not fair.

This is the problem that I was alluding to in another thread. The characteristics associated with being socially liberal or progressive has received such backlash and written off as soft and whiny that any legitimate concern is rolled in with the Lena Dunham moronic ones.

How anyone can have the mindset that this bill is in any way ok is mind bogging. What the f*** are we doing here?
