Proposal One: To add the "Emergency Manager" protocol to the constitution. The only one I support.

Wait, you support unelected dictators being appointed to liquidate cities?

Proposal One is actually voting for a referendum on the emergency manager law, so that the law itself can be accepted or rejected by direct vote.

Personally, I think it'll cause problems when hunting a specific species is outlawed because of it's population dying.

It states that the amendment is to act in such a way to conserve hunting and preserve the future of hunting through population control, so not allowing the hunting of an endangered species wouldn't be challenged, it would be mandated.

True. However, do you really think that people will read it like that? I still envision a lot of people screaming "IT'S OUR RIGHTS".

Yes, I think people will read it like that. Hunters are not stupid, they understand how the life cycle of an ecosystem functions and the consequences of both over and under hunting.

More importantly, the courts are sure to read it like that as well, and that is what really matters.

So why is no one talking about the asshole who owns the bridge? I thought I was careful to emphasize that portion.

[Lord Shonus]

What is there to say? That he's an asshole? That has been established.

I heard a conservative say once that "separation of church and state is only one way- to stop the state from interfering with the church, not the other way around". I proceeded to laugh and cry at the same time at his outright ignorance.

But that is exactly how it works. Maybe not how it was designed, but how it works.
Even Obama's "forcing churches to fund abortion" was only forcing an employer to provide a complete health care package. The church could still excommunicate anyone who took it.

I know that's how it currently works. But this guy was under the impression that that was the idea the whole time.

Most of it was just standard right-wing talking points... but then I saw that they wanted to repeal VRA 1965.

The only thing that could accomplish would be removing the guaranteed right to vote from minorities.

Man, these Republicans just get more and more blatant about how extreme they've gotten.

Keep in mind, those are Texas Republicans, who can hit a whole new level of crazy than you'd expect.

Yeah... it's conservatives in the most conservative state in the country. So it's like conservative^2.

I just realized that I messed up some of the tenses in my previous post. Drat.

[Eagle_eye]

I thought Utah was the most conservative?

[kaijyuu]

Different forms of conservatism. Utah has the lowest approval rating for Obama, and hasn't voted for a Democratic president since the 60s. At the same time, they're not super racist or homophobic here (still plenty of that, but it's comparatively benign).

A racist in Texas will shoot you. A racist in Utah will ignore you to death.

kaijyuu beat me to it. Curse my sudden impulse to see if a forum game I wanted to start had already been done here!
