This board is primarily centrist/right that leans left on social issues - "compassionate conservatism" as Bush 1 once said. We only have one "Bernie Bro" and we go at him harder than we go at you. Over the last year, you can probably count the Huff Post links on one hand. Just putting that out there for your consideration. It's a radical thought, I know. If you are a centrist/right that leans left on social issues you wish to impose that makes you Left. Huffpro did fall out of favor for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually what imposing is. If a choice does not exist it cannot be wanted taken away. add this type of post is why you have trouble getting conversations about what conservatives want fruitful. Most any law/rule is imposing. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't discriminate against gays. You can't mandate that the government teach children your religion. You can't force somebody else to donate their body as a life support system.

Forbidding discrimination isn't imposing. It's preventing imposition. 2. I was actually at Jesus's birthday party yesterday (Don't get excited. I don't know him personally. I just supply some of his guests with hookers and hardcore drugs). Anyway he pulled me aside at one point and said, "Hey, you spend a lot of time on Extremeskins, right? That dude twa... tell him that he needs to take a look at his browser history before he starts worrying about telling gay people how to live their lives." True story. He also said that we need to resign Kirk but that's a topic for another time. Anyway, it's like my man Kasich (and Jesus) said on the topic of gay marriage and religious freedom... Christians are supposed to focus more on their own DO's and a lot less on other people's DON'Ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The Picture of Dorian Gray Basically I like the rhythm of this title. I also like the book itself and the premise. I bet Trump has a portrait up in the Trump Tower attic that shows all his nastiness. Wait, his actual face is showing all this nastiness. Some the pictures on the internet are positively grotesque.

AsburySkinsFan Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 3 hours ago, twa said: So you agree imposing defines? No, I was just using your definition. The reality is that the vast majority of people hold positions on social issues that don't line up strictly with one party or the other. By your assessment a person is Leftwing if they support same sex marriage, but that same person would then be Rightwing if they are Pro-Life. I'm sorry that the messiness of actual people doesn't fit in your box, but you look to use these lables for people so you can keep pushing this idea of absolute uniformity to party. Trump himself betrays that very notion and you know it. And the reality is that it is the Right that looks to impose their social positions on everyone else. The Left just keeps asking for the freedom to exercise theirs. The Right wants to discriminate, they want to forbid, they want to remove choice...ironically all in the name of freedom.
