What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country and outlawed T-girls and other people they considered "undesirable" and used them for medical and sexual experiments?

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
that wouldn't happen nowadays because 99% American people were and still appalled by the Nazi regime which decimated lives in the 30's and 40's, not to mention the rest of the free-thinking reason based world.
the other 1% are sociopaths, religious fundamentalists, and hardcore Tea Baggers.
Science has prevailed substantially within the past few decades and will continue to. Science and reason will create a better world to live in, not religion or republican fundamentalism.
Humans are much more intelligent nowadays to understand that even if someone doesn't like certain people for petty reasons, doesn't mean that they have to throw them in concentration camp or even go to the horrific point of medical experiments.

Leave the country -- :)
Anyway, I can't see that happening....
I mean, they're veering more and more to the right. The Party is inundated with religious crazies. Which should frighten us. And, too, the Republican Party simply serve the very rich. But the Dems, too, are moving in that direction.
So: we've a choice in this country: crazy or less crazy.
Wow! Profound choice -- ha ha! :)

I think you overestimate people.
Ignorance is the ever present partner to hate. And that is why fundamentalists and Right Wing Tea party types are always denigrating science and limiting education and reason.
Fundamentalists don't want education or a better world, because that would make their ambitions impossible.

Interesting book about how American big business backed Hitler.
It's not a secret about how the business community got behind Hitler.

i'd start a thread here called "fuck- crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country" and say things like "fuck crazed fundamentalist republicans" knowing fully well everyone here would agree with such commentary and thus: get liked #thumbsup

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
No overestimation at all.
Think of just the percentage of people who are the "assholes" who embrace hate and inequality, and those who embrace freedom, justice, respect, reason, and science.
There are only a few unintelligent jagoffs that lead the blind unintelligent, which is sad, BUT the amount of people who use reason and science ARE intelligent and there are many.
We have great leaders and teachers, to include Lawrence Krauss, the late great Christopher Hitchens, the late great Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, Michael Shermer, Bill Maher, Penn Jillette, Raymond Teller, James Randi and many, many others.
And a good amount of the names I mentioned...are rich and do contribute ALOT to help guide the world to reason.

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
why the look?
You probably don't know much about those people I mentioned. You should look them up and see who they are, see what they do, and how they are helping humans become better.
Not knowing who these great people are who are people of reason and what they do, means you have some ignorance about you, sadly.

Most people are decent and moral.... And all we need is for people to act on their moral and decent impulses.

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Exactly. The addendum of most of the world.
Humans are born with no sense of right and wrong, they have to be taught. As much as I am not a fan of babies ( because of the noises and smells lol ), they aren't born evil. There is no determination, that is why education of history, science, and sociology should be massively taught.
Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
The morally inept; conservative republicans, tea baggers, religious fanatics, and sociopaths are not educated well enough to be leaders, especially in history ( recent and old ). The only reason why they have high influence on dumb people is because they have lots of money and usually have unusually good speaking skills, and promoting conveyance. They are really analogous of high functioning autistic people.

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Language, common sense, our value system and natural intuition mostly comes from our social conditioning and indoctrination. That's why I believe the BS in the media is influencing the aging electorate in America.
Come to Canada though. Stuff is pretty neat up here.

One big downside -- :nervous:
Shame Shania Twain isn't the PM of Canada. Actually, I've no idea where she stands politically.
But her looks supersede anything she'd do with respect to public policy. ;)
Actually, I'd like Shania as PM of Canada and Madonna as President and then they can engage in some sexy cross-border cunnilingus -- ha ha! :)

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Well the idea the fundamentalists could ever have so much influence on the party of the corporations is doubtful.
The next thing frankly is as a wedge issue "the gays" and "the lesbians" catch a lot more of the political thunder because the there are more of them and they are focal point for same sex marriage.
But if the rights of LGBT community are civil rights battle of this age the transgendered community is in terms of political bait for scared old white guys the same as the latino community was in the 1960's civil rights battle.
While the possibility of humans doing inhuman acts to other humans always exists the tide in the US in terms of tolerance in running counter to the "straights" cleansing the earth of those who aren't.

I don't think Bill Maher belongs in that group. I don't find him that particularly intelligent or funny. IMO John Fugelsang is a much better political comedian ...

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Bill Maher is the type of person you either really hate or really love, and the reason for that is because of his straight-forward, blatant personality. I find that quality attractive ( as a like, not sexual ).
I do believe he should be included on the list that I posted because he is a great figure and spokesperson for people of reason. He is actually quite intelligent. He's a graduate from Cornell with a B.A. in both History and English. I find his comedy quite funny.
Fugelsang... I am not a fan of him. His work isn't that great.

How sweet. Certainly something I'd like to believe.
I live in a state that came dangerously close to putting one of these nutbags in the US Senate and it was only a split vote (Write-ins wasted on another conservative, though more balanced, candidate who chose not to run at the last minute) that saved us from ruin.
I've heard too many otherwise sane people go on about how horrible O is and how he "...is Hitler!" and similar, bagger-inspired rants. The number of people voicing this craziness is frightening and I can only imagine how many more there are that are not so vocal about it. Many of these same people will go on about how they 'support' our troops, 'honor' our vets, and abhor the atrocities of WWII Europe and in the same breath tell you about how the current administration is driving us down the road to socialism and a police state, etc.
It only takes twelve states to elect a President. That's far less than 99% of the population, but enough to cause some horrific damage.

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
The definition of a conservative is someone who wants government out of your life except when it comes to regulating your sex/reproductive life...BTW, I've mentioned this before but super conservative Dallas and Houston have the highest per-capita population of TS escorts, based on BP ads.

Those who make those arguments that "O" is Hitler are people who don't know history and disregard it as just some class one needs to "complete" ( cheat/ just get by ) in high school. Regardless of how the collegiate vote happens, the majority, "the American People" won't let that happen. Imagine if we ( America ) were to become a country just like Syria...LOTS of countries ( at least 192 ) would take action to combat the foolishness of said "crazed asshole republican", and help free-thinking Americans.
Also, I have served in the U.S. Navy and know many, many service members. A huge chunk of them are very free-thinking. This isn't Vietnam era. The "troops" today are mature enough to understand when to stand up against immoral orders. It's called integrity; "To do what is right when no one is taking notice and/or taking a stand against immoral actions/ideas." Honor.
I live in Texas. A state in which, has a senator who is a complete "crazy person"...Ted Fuckin Cruz AND a dumbass governor and previous presidential candidate, Rick Perry. I am a tranny who resides in this state. I am fine. Everyone here treats me like a normal person, a fellow human, even though I live a state where real crazies are from and live and hold some kind of office.

My "sex life" isn't what one would call a "societal norm", let alone the current state of my body. So this is a big issue for me. That is why I learn as much as I can about these people and their politics and keep updated by many new outlets. ( Not MSM. That's where they brew bullshit. I listen to NPR, RT, Colbert, Stewart, and Bill Maher. )
And yes, you are right. Here in Dallas and also in Houston, there are lots of transgender people, oddly enough lol.

Its pretty hard to deny that Ted Cruz & the Tea Baggers are a really messed up crew with some pretty fucked up ideals.

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Hate me if you will, but I believe in "constitutional fundamentalism." I believe in smaller Government and I don't believe the Government has the right to tell me what to do, when to do it, or how to do it. After a lot of self debate on this I found that politically my beliefs are in alignment with the Tea Party. There are so many misconceptions and with any label, I don't think it so right to generalize someone. I don't hate. I am not racist, I will fuck, drink with, or hang out with anyone of any race. I learned in the Marines we all bleed red anyhow. I obviously support people's individual rights to their own preference when it comes to sexuality. So, I find people's ill informed beliefs regarding the Tea Party to be offensive at best.

It seems to me that you're Tea Party Classic, not New Tea Party. I left the moment Sarah Palin and the Koch brothers crashed it. These days, I think you might happier with the term 'libertarian' or even 'classical liberal.' The Tea Party is a Republican (bowel) movement now.

Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
"Fun Nature Fact"
We all bleed "red"...because we have iron within hemoglobin packed in our blood, which carries oxygen throughout our body.
Not because we are "Murican".
I'll bet you my left tit and my cock that Bin Laden, Hitler, Polpot, Edward Snowden, and Lee Harvey Oswald...all bleed red.
BTW..."More Fun Nature Facts" ...
Horseshoe Crabs have haemocyanin, a copper-based protein. They bleed blue.
Also female kangaroos have 3 vaginas.

The Constitution literally grants the government the power to legislate laws and enforce them. In common parlance, the government has the right to tell you what to do (e.g. pay your taxes), when to do it (e.g. before the April 15 deadline) and how to do it (e.g. use the correct form and fill it out legibly). :D

Except for paying taxes, the U.S. government doesn't tell you what/when/how to do anything, rather, it's in the business of telling you what you CAN"T do, i.e. rob banks, drive drunk etc.
Have you looked into the Libertarians...it sounds as if you're more aligned with their thinking.

How many of your folks are lining up to legalize weed and prostitution? The government tells these girls that they can't sell there body and I see no republicans campaigning for escort rights LOL. Granted I don't think any politician would.
-
Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Only a matter of time. In Britain, escorting is legal and they are the US's biggest ally.
Black's rights, API's rights, women's rights, Gay's rights, Legal Marijuana...whats next?
It's almost 2014, and I know a at least 2 big things that could definitely be next...Transgender rights and Legalizing Escorting/Prostitution.
Old people die. Right wing fanatics aren't immortal, nor are their ideals.
