To answer the guy in vid posted by Unseen who asked what is to stop?

As to retroactive laws it is the prohibition against ex post facto laws in body of constitution. As to the shocking disparity between criminalizing the rapist v the woman who aborts the rapist’s fetus it is the 8th amendment.

If Trump and his supporters prevail maybe we can annex Mexico.

In and of itself there is nothing patently racist or askew.

The SCOTUS has obviously become politized.

Twas ever thus. Read a bunch of decisions and it is readily apparent that idealistic notions of jurisprudence are nonsense. The end-product is largely a reflection of the power structure.

Roe v Wade has been chipped away since the momentous publication. See the swirl of the descending toilet water…

I am certain Enco has seen the Hate Speech light. Or should i say Trick Laws light!

Bam, Bam, Bama, O O O is on the disinformation algorithm warpath. Too bad he did not speak out against the religious institutions that spread disinformation endlessly.

In declensions of dissension along comes Autumn and here she mentions
ad campaigns and truthiness. Twas only a spore within a metaphor. Only puffing
similar to thanksgiving stuffing. Nothing more…

Enco,

Faith is exactly what you have in your ideology just like a fundamentalist in their ideology. However one identifies politically the notion of infallibility (same as fundamentalist) is a sure indication of a hardcore ideologue who utilizes faith not reason. Whether one identifies as socialist, capitalist, libertarian; pick your poison cuz…[Read more]

Am in agreement again on all counts with Davis as to hate speech.

My impression in having read and heard over the years so many American intellectuals want to protect hate speech is that it is much harder when there is so much consensus to change the views of people who have mistakenly appreciated the first amendment in regards to speech. That…[Read more]
