Americans are funny people.
We celebrate the spirit of independence, we are untowardly proud of our rebellious birth, we have a large segment that celebrates the confederate rebellion, we idolize MLK.
Yet we consistently and mostly across the board, condemn and attack modern day protestors/rebels.
In 1776 we fought to the death for the right to self determination, now we get our noses bent out of joint if we are 15 minutes late for work.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Civil disobedience is part of a healthy democracy, and if it's done in a way that doesn't ruffle any feathers, then it isn't civil disobedience.
I'm fine with protesters blocking roads, and I'm fine with physically removing protesters who are blocking roads.
That should be the long and the short of it.

Edmund Petus Bridge comes to mind here.

BTW I abhor blocking traffic but I do understand it.

Cat,
What I find strange is how people think they are doing "good works" by pressuring the Government to increase taxes.
To begin, good works is something YOU do. Not call upon the government to do. What exactly do YOU do?
The Bible talks about taxes being used for public good, but it also talks about oppressive and unfair taxation that burdens the poor and benefits the rich....(sound familiar?)

The Bible tells you to pay your taxes. Roman's Chapter 13 verses 1-7

the years that followed in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s (before DeSantis, now in his early 40s, was on the scene), Title IX became a focal point for conservatives who felt that equal opportunity protections for women athletes, rather than being a cause of celebration, was in fact robbing men of their opportunities. The pages of conservative magazines like National Review were full of articles attacking the law as an affirmative action program that harmed male athletes. As Kathryn Jean Lopez wrote for National Review in 2002, in a review of the anti-Title IX book "Tilting the Playing Field," "Title IX...leads to a clearly unjust result. Women today have the upper hand in just about every area of education -- except sports, so feminists are now demanding special privileges in that area as well."
Nor was Title IX the only site of contention. As recently as the last few years, when soccer's US Women's National Team began calling for equal pay, the right had nothing but mockery. The idea that women should not only have equal opportunity but equal pay seemed laughable. Never mind that the women's team had a better record and brought in more revenue than the men's team. Were they worth more, the market would have already paid them more. As right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh put it in 2019, "It may sound cruel, it may sound unfair, but the marketplace is the marketplace."
It was only once the right realized women's sports could be a useful cudgel in anti-trans politics -- nicely packaged as a rallying cry on behalf of America's daughters -- that they began to argue that this long fight for equality was, in fact, an honorable struggle, and that access to sports was key to women's ability to thrive in

but, does not protect women
allows men on girls sport teams
allows men in girls locker rooms
allows men to take girls scholarships
Dems have turned against women

That's just ridiculous and you know it too. It isn't Democrats that are taking women's rights away. That would be the Republican party.

OOPSIE DAISY

It happened at a high school a few years ago.

Physician heal thyself.

BTW You still don't know what you're talking about as per the usual.

Why not just admit, "Yea, conservatives, you are right, boys shouldnt be competing against girls"? What's wrong with that?

That's not what is happening and you know it too. Why do you continue to lie about it??

You know I'm already NC born and bred. Actually, it's ilk like you we dont like here in NC.
Better yet, stay in Asheville or Raleigh, dont venture into the country side.
That's where we dont want you. Dont get off of 40 or 85, keep going until you get somewhere you feel "safe".

POSTED BY BOAZ AT 2024-04-21 04:44 AM | REPLY

Then conservatives have the gall to call liberals snowflakes. That's the epitome of a snowflake.

You really didn't need to post that Boaz. Seriously

G-d some people are just hopelessly stupid. We used to celebrate the vaccinated. We aren't going to make it are we??

I'm so glad that you received your Bible today BillJohnson. I'm glad that you weren't scammed. Enjoy your new Bible.

Tony how do you get things to post on MORE COMMENTS?? I can't seem to do it right.

Does anyone else understand that the song by Greenwood wad intended to insult the patriotism of those of us who dared to protest the Vietnam War? I did and I am proud that I did. My father who eas a :9 year career officer in the US Navy wouldn't speak to me becauze of that. 20 years later he pullrd me aside and told me I was right about thT war so iMHO the Patriotic Bible is just very expensive toilet paper!

That Bible is made of cheap paper. I'm not sure if it's super absorbent enough for TP. Just sayin.

Trump looks bad enough and for Lee Greenwood to do this. The more I see about this the scummier Greenwood is looking.

Didn't you buy it because of Trump peddling it?? Me thinks it makes Trump look bad too. As if he needs any help with that.

Why read a Bible when you can use them to decorate your house?
Besides, the pastor will tell you what the Bible says and means!

Thanks to ACA.

For Bill Johnson

No more aid to Israel period. It is the ONLY way out of this.

Simple minds for simple minded people.

The New Testament also tells the people to take care of the poor the sick the ones in jail etc etc etc.

Plain and simple jury intimidation. There is no excusable reason for releasing all that info to the rabid trumpturds.
