What is under assault by the Right Wing is the basic idea that we are
all equals with the same rights in the eyes of the Constitution.They want to have a super privileged minority to enjoy higher rights than blacks, jews,Asians, homosexuals,nonchristians, and all other undesirable dregs of humanity. This is the source of their anger and frustration.They want to show that the normal rules that apply to us do not apply to them.

2. Evidently
They have already achieved that purpose - they torture and abuse Muslim prisoners with impunity, then have the audacity to fly into a rage when it gets exposed in the media.

12. That's because just to get to where they are at,
they have lived by the tenet that "nothing is wrong unless you get caught".
This is the flawed moral compass that they employ in navigating their life journey.

3. Animal Farm?
Sorts like Animal Farm to paraphrase

"All people are equal but some are more equal than others"

4. And the lunatic lemmings
also have learned from their masters well as they think homosexuals want "extra" rights, like the right to get married. They are fucking lunatics and their agenda will get shitcanned because it is unamerican and anti-constitution. They can hate all they want and incredibly they are not happy with that freedom.

5. I wonder if anyone has ever thought of the term:
Christian Dhimmitude?

6. Never trust an evangelical
From experience, and most recent as well, I will never trust an evangelical. They promote death, hate, and endless mayhem in the name of Jesus. Their damn book tells them to kill 99% of the Earth's population so Jesus can return. Makes me sick we let them get this far with their goal of death and tyranny. World would be safer if Jesus kept his ideas to himself.

8. Actually
There are ancient diaries and documents from that time period that indicate Jesus did exist. He wasn't god since he had to get an inn for a night and food (one document was an inn's financial record). I'm sure he tuaght waht he did but the nuts through history took it as "go forth and kill".

9. I'd be interested
to know what documents and diaries those are. You should check out jesusneverexisted.com for a good run down on the invention of the "God Man". The only genuine reference I know of re:Jesus, is in the Talmud, and that Jesus was "a magician who was hanged from a tree on the eve of Passover", in about 125 B.C.E.

10. Dang, I want to see a copy of that financial report from the Inn Keeper.
Did they have to sign a register? Did the Inn keeper have to sign a receipt? Do you have a Link to that document?

14. It's from years ago
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 09:29 PM by Tux
But U of M had them. Historians were going over some ancient documents and found those. Not sure if they still have them but you could contact their College of Arts and Sciences.

U of M = University of Michigan.

11. I think they do want official govt decree that they are superior.
That seems to be what it all comes down to.

13. people need to stop talking about what they're doing in terms of race
They dont give a shit what race someone is. Maybe a few individuals do, but overall all they care about is if you have money/power and if you follow their idealogical perspective that the rich/powerful are better than everyone else. Race/religion/whatever are just tools to achieve a goal. By acting like these people care what race someone is you totaly destroy you're argument. If Bush hated black people, he wouldnt be banging Condi Rice. If they thought white people mattered, they'd be doing something to help out white people. Its all about money, power and status.

18. Agreed -
Edited on Thu Jun-02-05 09:49 PM by libhill
It is about money - that's who they are, that's what they're about, that's where they're coming from. They prey upon the poor and powerless, regardless of whether you're white, black, brown, Christian, Jew, or Muslim. If your not a member of the wealthy elite, your fucked. An even if you are a member, they'll destroy/discredit you unless you blindly follow their insane agenda. Kerry wasn't exactly living in poverty, you know.

15. They hate everything justified via Section 1

of the 14th Amendment. Which kills off official or inoffical privilege of their sort of people, when it actually ever gets enforced, which it has never been.

Roe v Wade is in part based on 14th Amendment rights, even. Church/state separation relies indirectly on its civil rights guarantees. The violations at Guantanamo Bay are illegal under it.
