    "It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."
    Robert A. Heinlein

    The crazies in the GOP are well on their way.

    Yep! Now they are trying to argue there is no separation of church and state.

    We have the wanna-be Taliban trying to run the place.

    Robert E, Howard too.

    Consider all those deployments.

    Yeah, and the worst part is? They're addicted to power and will do whatever it takes.

    So are the "progressive" faithful in the Democratik Party, but never mind that, eh?

    It's all sh*ts and giggles when you're trampling on other people's right to self-proprietorship with your mandates but when your right to self-proprietorship gets trampled on you start singing a different tune.

    See what happens when people have no principles?

    Each side takes turns f*cking the other one over.

    If you think you're frustrated and disgusted imagine being stuck between both of them....

    The one and only thing authoritarians of every stripe - Left and Right, religious and secular - believe in.

    Power.

    So same sex marriage was legal until the "crazies" made it illegal? I'm not familiar with that history.

    You mean like anti-racism in schools and gender identity for K-3 grades? Yes, it is a weird creed and ideology,

    So they didn't try to make their creed into law, you did,

    Heinlein was right.

    "It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."

    And so you did!

    If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” JFK

    I guess if you want to label this a creed go ahead.

    JFK's liberalism has nothing to do with Wokism.

    So telling kids in schools that they shouldn't be racist is bad. Got it.

    Or the Church of the "Progressive" Faith.

    Speaking of JFK, I can remember when Democrats fought communists. Today they are communists. :wink:

    CRT tells kids in school that they should be racist.

    Martin Luther King Jr.'s chief of staff Wyatt Walker could (and did) tell you that:

    The Civil Rights Legend Who Opposed Critical Race Theory

    "Today, too many ‘remedies’ -- such as Critical Race Theory, the increasingly fashionable post-Marxist/postmodernist approach that analyzes society as institutional group power structures rather than on a spiritual or one-to-one human level -- are taking us in the wrong direction: separating even elementary school children into explicit racial groups, and emphasizing differences instead of similarities..."

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a..._who_opposed_critical_race_theory_144423.html


    That's what racists do - separate even elementary school children into explicit racial groups, and emphasize differences instead of similarities.
