I know a guy who wants to bring his goat wife on my son’s school bus as part of a purification ritual who has that very same complaint.

lol, you cant bring livestock on school buses in Colorado.
Is that a “distortion of language to make a point” or just an actual lie?

Yes, we’ve passed bad law in this country.

LOL! Which law? Brown vs Board or Loving vs Virginia? Those were my two cites.
Niiice one Jeff.

Your type once managed to have epileptics sterilized.

My type? I’m a transhumanist….I want to repair genetic disease with science.
I know, I know, to the crypto-neanderthal substrate-challenged conservative base transhumanism is the same as……eugenics! (teh horror)
Haha, and of course ToE and actually all biotech scientific research is just creeping eugenics, lol, after all, Darwin==Hiltler to that crowd.

The imposition by legislation of socio-religious mores on unwilling citizens in a republic is illiberal.

I know a guy who wants to bring his goat wife on my son’s school bus as part of a purification ritual who has that very same complaint.

Grow up.

We have an amendment process. Plessy is what you should bitch about.

Yes, we’ve passed bad law in this country. Your type once managed to have epileptics sterilized. Now they’ve given us hate crime legislation and run roughshod over property rights in Kelo. Goes with the territory.
