    It's the wet dream so many of these sick fucks have been looking forward to ever since the start of this secular nation.

    Call this a hot take, but I don't think we are a secular nation. We are de facto a Christian nation. This isn't a good thing.

    If you look at the laws we have, from no selling alcohol on Sunday (the Lord's day), to anti-lgbtq legislation, to what our social conservatives draw upon for their arguments, it comes back to Christian fundamentalist politics.

    If you are Muslim or Jewish, you are much more at risk of being the target of hate crimes than a Christian.

    The separation of church and state is something we are still trying to do. Even Jimmy Carter, a deeply Christian man, pointed to Christian fundamentalism being the greatest threat to America.

    Hard disagree. Separation of church and state is right there. RIGHT THERE. in the constitution (I don't mean literally of course, but you can FEEL it in there). And if you don't believe me just ask any of the 46 consecutively Christian presidents we've had and they'll tell you the same. The fact that 100% of them are Christian is clearly a coincidence (with #47 baking in the oven). I could easily flip a coin 46 times and have it land heads up every time.

    Eh, if you define Christian as believing Jesus was the only son of god and the Messiah, then Thomas Jefferson was not one. He did believe in a god and Jesus' teachings enough to have his own gospel put together, but did not believe in things like the resurrection. He thought the gospels as-given were full of garbage written by corrupted people.

    Usually people call that deism, when you believe in a god, but think Jesus was just a dude.

    Many of the "founding fathers"/early US leaders were deists. They were super skeptical of organized religion in any form, and most dismissed out of hand the superstition and social control associated with religion. The US revolution happened at the height of the Enlightenment.

    Weren't Republicans crying about HIPAA (fixed spelling, thanks!) and shit earlier when asked if they got vaccinations? You guys actually care about sensitive patient health data or what's up?

    In conservland, we employ double-think. HIPPA is good. HIPPA is bad. See? It's easy!

    Watch, I'll do it again just so you have a good understanding of the technique. The Jews are ruining everything. Isreal can do no wrong. Bam!

    Yeah. Hard no. I don't want Trump and his Brown Shirts knowing what I have. And for the non-gun owning libs, you don't want them knowing what you don't have.

    I absolutely fucking hate pregnancy crisis centers. These fucks and the assholes that fund them are fucking sociopathic. When a woman is pregnant she has an extremely important and difficult decision to make that will effect her life in a fundamental way for at least two decades but probably permanently... trying to manipulate someone making such an important decision because of your bullshit holy book (that doesn't even care about this) is morally fucking reprehensible. I've spoken with people who have been unable to talk about being forced into conversations with these asshats without breaking down in tears - these fuckers inflict deep trauma.

    In a few decades these fucks will be viewed in the same general light as eugenicists and we can't get there fucking soon enough.

    Fun fact, the moral permissibility of abortion has far and away the most consensus among philosophers. Literally philosophers are more confident that abortion should be permissible than that the external world exists.

    As such, you can use opinions on abortion as a litmus test for sociopathic tendency since it’s such an easy moral question. In doing so, however, you’d be confronting the fact that 30% of Americans are moral black holes from whom no rational opinion can be extracted. In that context, slavery, misogyny, religion, and all the evils of humanity suddenly make sense.

    When it hits the other chamber, the left should tag on a requirement to have a national database of firearms, regardless of how they were obtained...if you own any firearm it must be registered. Make them shoot down their own bill.
