They’ll be quick to tell you that the Constitution doesn’t actually explicitly state they should be separated. And what it really means is no one can stop them from proselytizing because that would prohibit the free exercise of religion. Of course they’ll also tell you there is no religion other than the 1853 convention of Eastern sect Southern Baptists. Everything else is a heretical lie that needs to be burned.
The Big Ten were written at a time when paganism/animism was the dominant religious view and the idea of monotheism was weird and foreign. You really had to hammer those home early on, because one minute you’re up on a mountain having the acid trip spiritual moment to define a millennium and the next you’re down in the valley watching all your friends jerk off to a big bronze bull just like you told them not to!
When your parish flock is that prone to stray, I’m almost surprised they don’t have a few more.
It always amuses me when these pseudo-Christians have to reach back to the Old Testament to justify their fascist foaming - it’s almost as if the parts that are actually based on Christ contains nothing of value to them.
What is funny to me is that the part of the Bible they ignore is the Christian half. The old testament is closer to the Quran or Torah then they probably realize…
If I were a teacher in that state, I would definitely hide it somewhere where students never look if they don’t have rules on where it has to be placed. That, or if a student vandalized it, I would pretend not to see it and when asked why it’s vandalized, just play dumb.
It’s certainly illegal. But Louisiana is in the fifth circuit court of appeals, which is hilariously conservative. That’s the same court that covers Texas, and a few other southern states. Packing the fifth circuit with conservatives was a large part of the Southern Strategy. Now the appeals court is packed with hardline conservative judges. Whenever you hear about appeals courts being blatantly biased for conservatives, it’s almost always the fifth circuit.
So yeah, it’s illegal. But even if Louisiana courts strike it down, the fifth circuit appeals judge will likely reinstate it as soon as it crosses their desk.
There’s also a theory that the 5th circuit exists to make terrible rulings so that the Supreme Court can overturn it but do it in such a way that it still advances some horrible agenda.
Something along the lines of:
5th Circuit: You can totally post the ten commandments in schools, because hoorah Jesus!
Supreme Court: You can’t actually post the the ten commandments in all schools, just the private ones, oh and by the way it’s totally cool and legal to drain all the funding out of public schools and give it to private schools.
And here’s news: if you are appalled by this and you are NOT buying a gun and learning how to use it then you are an absolute fucking idiot. If you come on here and start pissing and moaning about “ammosexuals” and “2A fantasies” and whatnot then you are a fucking idiot. NONE of those assholes care about your rights or your feefees or about “the law” or voting; they hate you and want to kill you and they are desperately waiting for someone to give them the word. If you are NOT ARMING UP FOR PROTECTION then you will get the boxcar you deserve.
Lol I agree with you, but there’s other posts in here that will get you better traction than this one. I recently saw one about a lawmaker proposing a national registry of pregnant people. That one would have an audience more amendable to the point that they really do want to dominate and exterminate their enemies.
Though effective opposition requires organization, armed or not. The organizations that would be used for armed resistance when necessary are only marginally different from the organizations fighting for positive change within the system right now.
The thing is that its all incremental. Liberals here should understand how incrementalism works because they propose it all the fucking time. Commandments in schools is the basis for pregnancy registrations and then killing or imprisoning gays and then government-sanctioned white supremacy etc etc. There are not enough reasonable people to stop this. There is no situation in which the creep to fascism ended without lots of violence. I’ll be fine; I’m white and in a very tolerant area…but I come from the places where the fascists are breeding and mark my words: liberals absolutely DO NOT UNDERSTAND who they’re dealing with. Most of the murders of “undesirables” won’t even make the local news, and certainly won’t be investigated or prosecuted.
Oh trust me, I understand how fascism and these sorts of things works. The vast majority of people will be surprised if the US experiences some kind of genocide or civil war. But that’s just it, the average person has a hard time seeing it coming, so you can’t raise the alarm on things that seem innocuous. They’ll think you’re crazy. You have to point at the really fucked up stuff happening right now so they can imagine what would happen if those people got their way.
In any case, we still have time to change course, and this post would be a good one for getting people politically organized and fighting that way, since they have a hard time understanding how this sort of thing leads to violence.
Always been a gun owner, they would have done nothing for me in any of my arrests except get me killed or get police officers killed and place me in prison for likely life…
You won’t be able to shoot police officers when they come to arrest you and walk free. An actual militia will not happen again in the u.s.
Again, you’re focusing on “the authorities”. You’re going to need them against civilians. But this just reinforces my point: you dont know who you’re dealing with.
You really, really, REALLY do not understand any of this. It has nothing at all to do with militias. It will be your neighbors committing violence against your other neighbors with the state’s blessing. And yes I am absolutely comparing them to the Nazis as any reasonable, rational, sensible person should do if they dont want to wind up in the aformentioned boxcar.
It will be your neighbors committing violence against your other neighbors with the state’s blessing.
that’s a really weird way to say “the government is going to take your rights”
Any reasonable person would compare the US with the fucking naizs? What am i reading bro? Are we referring to republicans as nazis here? Because i’m more inclined to believe you, but i still wouldn’t go that far.
