The transgendered are the least of our concerns.

Transgenders are not our concern.  People like this are.

These are all recent and all directly related to official announcements of allowing transgenders to use their choice of bathroom. 

Before these announcements, nobody believed these things were OK.  Then they were told they were and suddenly the perverts are coming out of the wood work and showing up all over the place. I think right now they're in a "testing" phase, trying out what they can get away with. 

Laws like NC-HB2 have become a necessity because liberals didn't listen.  They pushed without understanding the consequences and CREATED a dangerous situation that now must be fixed with overly restrictive laws.

Yes.  I noticed that he very carefully avoided saying that he lied. 

Over and over again I see fanatics on the left try to create issues.  They so desperately want to "catch" the right doing something like this and it's always a fraud.

It was a good run for 200+ years but the end is in sight.  The only thing that will potentially save it is a revolution with the people taking the government back and starting over.  The fact that we have a President extorting states over who should use which bathroom should tell you all you need to know.

Very few politicians are not on the take at this point and there is no inclination to cut spending and reduce the debt.

I feel less like a revolutionary and more like a Pilgrim with no New World to go to.  I don't want to fight, I just want to find satisfaction in my situation in life.  But apparently I'm not allowed to.

And what a joy medicals will be under single payer.  I mean, the public really SHOULD pay for us to get checked out to fly, right?  I think a dozen X-rays a year to check that there is no kidney stone isn't unreasonable, after all we HAVE to be safe.  Nobody should be able to operate a 5700 lb machine at 14,000 ft without a medical unless they're driving their Expedition up Pike's Peak.

You are correct.  I wonder if Kristin was also so knowledgeable about the history.

Me too.  I was saving the trouble of having to go out and dig out the history of why HB2 is actually better than what it was fixing.

They don't want electric cars.  They don't want cars, period.

They want pedestrian malls, buses and trains.  And bicycles.

You left out people.  They don't really want people around either.

I'll take my share of the credit for making many of you Conservative. You're welcome.

"Two researchers from the Department of Psychology and Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University demonstrated that the more white Americans know about the changing demographics of the United States, the more likely they are to endorse conservative policy positions"

http://www.rawstory.com/2014/04/fear-of-becoming-a-racial-minority-makes-white-americans-more-conservative-study/

Let see...

Under the current political environment, there is a large prejudice against white people and a big tendency to ignore the rules.  Why on earth would white people fear becoming a minority?

But a better question would be - why should anyone fear being a minority in a real Republic?

The MSN will report on Venezuela when there actually is a collapse. What is the point in reporting that there is maybe sort of, might be a collapse?

Because investors move on the likelihood of news, not just the actual news.  You'll find that the market starts pricing in news long before the news is mainstream.  I believe in most cases this is due to just being smart and having a good sense of how markets are going to react.  If some investors believe that Venezuela is going to collapse in the future then their lessened demand will help drive market prices down (because price is a function of demand compared to supply).  If more investors believe it, then the prices will go down more.  By the time the news comes out that it actually does collapse some percentage of the price drop is already baked into the market and that is based solely on the pessimists.

I think it's important to remember that every time a stock is bought or sold, the seller believes it will be worth less in the future and the buyer believes it will be worth more.  With every trade, one of them is wrong and one is right.

And this is where the LGB community has made a fatal mistake by linking itself with transgender freaks.  It soils whatever credibility it seeks. 

"Dallas’s local LGBT community has come together to stand in defence with Goebel, claiming she should not be persecuted because she was “born a pedophile and therefore can not change her sexual orientation”. This comment comes from the leader of Dallas’s LGBT Aqua Squad, Dorothy Wright."

This news story was fraudulent, no?

Please tell me you understand why North Carolina passed the law otherwise more than 15 minutes of study is required.

It was a reaction to a very poorly worded Charlotte town ordinance which permitted anyone to legally use any bathroom they wanted based on which gender they choose to claim.  I can't find the ordinance exact wording right now, but it essentially said that your gender was based on your self identification.  A police officer responding to a complaint about a man in the women's restroom or locker room would be powerless to order him to leave.  That was true even if the man was dressed as a man but said he "felt" like a woman that day.

I think the NC Legislature overreacted to the ordinance.  They needed something but they probably went too far.  I don't think it is difficult to see why they wound up where they did and I hear more than a little support from around the state.

the GOP base -- the dying remnants of the Confederacy.

For the record - I didn't read anything afterwards.  Whatever brilliance you might have ever said has been completely nullified by this bullshit.

I'm neither a Republican nor a supporter of the Confederacy.  You just invoked an extension of Godwin's law as the basis of making your argument, you lose.

I've got it on good authority that the authors analysis is deeply flawed.

So your good authority knows that when transsexualism gets defined as a sex in one part of the CRA then it doesn't apply to the other parts of the CRA?  How does that work?

That's what you do when you're not "equitable". I guess.

Note that someone took the crate from the (I deduce) "rich guy" and gave it to the "poor guy". Now everyone is the "same". Socialism.

Of course, for the next game, the "rich" guy didn't bother bringing his crate since it was such a burden to haul around and it did him no good.
