let me ask you a very serious question
HOW THE HELL DO YOU INTEND TO STOP THIS AS A MINORITY PARTY...

On principle I agree, it SHOULD REMAIN on the books... in reality it won't remain on the books. And you know what? LET the PUKES carry their horrid agenda, we can't stop it, truly. This is what the little people may need to WAKE THE FUCK UP what they voted for

20. The same way women have been handling issues
important to them as a minority since time imemorial, one male at a time. No party instituted this law, women, the political minority then as now, have done it.

Women do not need a political party to accomplish what they need or want.

9. And finally, genitals themselves
Will only be allowed for government mandated reproduction. After offending act takes place, all genitals must be returned to the U.S. Government Repro Warehouse.

science).

11. Believe you me, these people will stop at nothing
Once they smell blood in the water, that's it. They are driven by power over others.

They would gladly destroy this country to have their way with it.

16. Bring 'em on!
...to quote a misplaced village idiot!

If R v. W goes down, very little left that isn't vulnerable....a line drawn on the beltway.....let the half-wits try to challenge....with the people lies the power...without the people...nothing....

13. It's true.
This evangelical vote is just a neo-fascist movement. The country sinks into recession, or whatever you like, and a depoliticized part of the population can be whipped up into thinking it's someone else's fault: "who are the bad guys?", and they can be jews, or Indians, or blacks, or communists, or homosexuals, or terrorists (propagandists determine what that is), etc. Whip freepers up into irrational frenzies and you basically have American history.

14. "Oh, let him have Poland. He'll shut-up then".
Edited on Wed Nov-17-04 07:04 PM by Cat Atomic
They will ALWAYS want more. Give them this issue, and they'll reach for something even more extreme. The new skirmish line will be moved even further back. No thanks.

Those people want a theocracy.

21. Yes but teh senate or the house is NOT where you
will stop them...

Boycotts, civil disobedience, and other things

THINK BOSTON TEA PARTY

THINK How the colonists first USED the economy against the brits

Think how the vote for women was achieved

IT was NOT in Congress... it was in the streets

There is where we need to go back again

Next time you go to the store, THINK what difference you can make with YOUR choices of what you buy

Next time you think of buyung an expensive gift, THINK, 70% of our economy is based on COMSUMPTION

When you buy a car THINK what you decide to buy will make a change (Incidentally we love our Hybrid)

THINK and give up on the Hill... we don't have the power to do jack or shit there right now

18. Do any of you doubt that Falwell, had he lived in an earlier time...
...would have been pleased to put the torch to the kindling beneath the feet of gays, lesbians, "witches" (anybody practicing any religion other than his particular stripe of Chrisianity?

His inerrant Bible commands that 'though shalt not suffer a witch to live' and 'though shalt not lie with a man...." ah, hell, you know the rest.


Hell, they'd do it today if they could get away with it.,....

19. Wrong, Randi. These people thrive on feeling like they're under siege...
By some deluded notion of a liberal conspiracy. Take away Roe v. Wade, and I guarantee you that they will be on to another issue in a heartbeat.

They will **never** be content just living and letting live. They have to have an enemy, a devil, a scapegoat.

They need to be stopped **NOW**, before it's too late.

23. Well, even if they overturn RvW...
...it's still up to the states to criminalize it. We will, at least be able to prevent that from happening everywhere.

Although... with RvW also goes a lot of our Constitutional right to privacy. I'd be curious to see if Griswald survives it.

24. Roe vs Wade is a red herring
These social wedge issues are merely the dressing; the meat the Repugs really want is to limit Congress's power to regulate...anything.

They clearly want to repeal most if not all of the New Deal legislation and the court's interpretation of congressional power.

OSHA? Say bye. EPA? Gone. Child labor laws? Repealed.

They know they can't just up and write legislation outlawing these things - too politically risky. So, they deal with stealth legislation while showing the public theater of the absurd.

Fasten your seat belts (which may be outlawed anyway).
