sex has to do with whether you are male or female.

The very reason we needed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the first place.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 with regard to forbidding distinctions based upon sex, is not within the delegated powers of Congress. An attempt was made to grant such power to Congress under the Equal Rights Amendment:

Text:


Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to equal rights for men and women.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States:


'Article--


'Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

'Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

'Section 3. This article shall take effect 2 years after the date of ratification.'



Until a constitutional amendment is adopted such as the above Equal Rights Amendment, Congress is without authority to adopt legislation such as the Equality Act which attempts to enforce the goals of the Equal Rights Amendment which was rejected by the American people, through their representatives.



Why is this so difficult for you to accept?

The poison connected to Democrat Party Leadership’s socialism is, the most productive, hardworking wage earners across the country ___ some in our nation’s inner cities who work two and three jobs to improve their station in life and extricate themselves from poverty ___ are specifically targeted by taxation and robbed of the bread they have earned, which in turn discourages them to be productive, and thus begins the Nation’s decline.
 

I await your supreme Court case
 

You need a bigger font.

Deflect? Sounds like you have a case. You have the right to a redress of grievance.

If all you are wishing to do is bitch on the internet and get mad at people for telling you to file a court case, what in the hell do you want?

The satisfaction of being told you are right?

If so fine, you're right about everything. Then I'll tell you that every time you post a thread or response and it will be over.

I think it's kind of funny. Some people State their views as though they are truth and they get mad at you when you ask them to prove it.

Or they'll call you godless heathen or degenerate towards some other word that they use to describe disgust for ideas they do not know.

Another word for this is puritanism. A concept behind puritanism is disgust based thinking. People who fall victim to this puritanism create a false dichotomy in their head. Basically they exist in a world where there is no nuance everything is black and white pure or filthy sacred or profane. And invariably the people who exist in this puritanical dichotomy are the sacred and the pure and any disagreement is profane.

The truth of the matter is these people are in fact perfect examples of the dunning-kruger effect. If enough evidence shows their views be untrue they will eventually fall into the realm of conspiracy theories.

I don't doubt for one second johnwk believes that any science showing homosexuality to be anything but a choice is a conspiracy either of leftists or of anti Christians, or in some cases people actually blame the Illuminati for controlling science.

If you're willing to go to that length to hold on to your views you are lost. I would consider conspiracy theories especially the more wild ones like flat Earth to be paranoid delusions more than a theory about a conspiracy.
 

So, in a forum where current issues are discussed, and a question is presented that our Constitution is being ignored, you prefer to ignore the question and resort to measures not conducive to a productive discussion. So tell me, what is your purpose here?

JWK
 


My goodness. Now you have even maliciously invoked science and conspiracy theories, asserting views I have never embraced, rather than address what I have actually written, which shows your motives are not intended to have a productive discussion.

To tell you how right you are and how nobody should ever argue with you.
 

You're right about everything everything that comes out of your mouth is pure genius.

How can I argue with it?
 

So your point being what, that if a "bad" person uses or defends a human liberty to their own ends, then that liberty must be terrible principle and cannot be valid? If so then aren't all "rights" invalid because the "bad" people are entitled to and use free speech, freedom of association, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, freedom of religion, right to an attorney, equal protection of the laws?

I realize there are those who view human rights as merely a "privilege", who would burn down a village of rights if a demon (e.g. a racist) could be found to benefit from a single shed. But when you speak of how racists use their natural right of contract to 'do bad' also recall that yours is the same argument advanced by Nazi's, Communists, and Islamists to justify their repression of human rights. They also noted that their moral demons (Jews, Non-Communists, Non-Islamists) used human rights (such as that of speech, association, contract, religion) for "their immoral purposes" and that, therefore, the idea of liberty was not a valid or supportable concept.

The character of "who" uses a universal human right does not make that human right illegitimate. And the reason we given the benefit of universal protection of those rights, including to the Devil himself, is not for their safety but for our own. We don't burn down the village of protective rights structures because we find a Jew, racist, infidel, Communist, or Christian (or any other of the demonized) in a rights shed. AND if these demonized happens to be in the right using their liberty, out of respect for the legitimacy of natural law and justice, we must find for the demon.

So when you concluded to the poster that: "we unfortunately need to protect people, to deal with those like you masquerading their prejudicial actions as "inalienable rights."" you were on the right track going in the wrong direction. The people needing protected is all of us, in particular protection from those who believe our inalienable and universalist rights are nothing more than "masquerading for prejudicial actions" and therefore are illegitimate impediments to "getting the devil".

And what "deviant" views are you referring to? You would do well to quote a deviant view I expressed and then remarked,

What truth and facts? All I see is bigoted, archaic argument.
 

Ever come out as straight to your own parents only to be given a gun and told to do your family a favor and end yourself? That happens to gay children at times when they come out as gay.

Who do you think hands them the gun?
 

It does not matter how many times you repeat this, you are literally hiding your own prejudices as a Constitutional argument.

So, are you agreeing the Equality Act attempts to pass legislation authorized under the “Equal Rights Amendment” which was rejected by the American people, and thus, to this degree, is a usurpation of power not granted?

Why on earth is a flag representing sexual deviants being flown over a state capitol and pro-life banners not being flown on government property?
Click to expand...
Pro-life people should support LGBT couples because if there is one group of people who will never have abortions it is gays, lesbians and the transgendered.
 

The gay flag represents a celebration of people...a flag for pro-life only celebrates a political stance on a certain issue that does not normally have a parade or day that celebrates that political viewpoint. Not saying that it can't, but that it would be a bit odd to have a festival atmosphere around the issue.

Oh, and homosexuality is not, in secular speak, a form of sexual, deviant behavior. And since we are a nation that has purposely kept Christianity out of governance as well as other religions, what your church says does not equate to law. Not everyone is a Christian and not everyone believes in God.
 


What will you do on the day that you find out someone close to you is gay? :roll:

I would like to be a fly on the wall.
 
Do people choose to be homophobic?

People, do choose to act or not act on those tendencies.

Do people choose to be attracted to the same sex or children?

The choice is acting on those attractions or not.

Maybe homophobes could become a protected class too. Wonder what their flag would look like flying over Madison......

Classification of people by behavior is a slippery slope.
