repeal the patriot act

this bill may have seemed necessary in the wake of 9/11, but so did the war. let us repeal this as well as the authorizations to use force.

"1776" history project :"cultural marxism?"

what is trump talking about? critical race theory? cultural marxism? if the history professors at auburn had any kind of liberal bias it didn't help me too much.

anyway, i went down this rathole last night and it leads to the usual places, but i'll limit this thread to "cultural marxism."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory

it seems too many rational people correctly identify their "political correctness" as common courtesy. their rebranding solution : "cultural marxism."

the agenda of the "cultural marxists is ......


Codification of hate crimes
Causing constant social changes to provoke confusion
Teaching children sex and homosexuality
Weakening the authority of schools and teachers
Mass immigration to destroy national identity
Promoting alcoholism
Reducing church attendance
Weakening the legal system and causing it to be biased against crime victims
Making people dependent on the state or welfare
Controlling the media
Encouraging family breakdown

of course, each of these items has its own rathole, but in whole and in part this business is another strawman the rwnjs have created to make us look like crazy commies out to grab their guns and force them to evolve.

louisiansa state legislature moves to strip governor's emergency powers

i hope these regressive jerks know what they are doing.

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/louisiana-lawmakers-move-to-suspend-governors-emergency-powers

"Louisiana’s governor could be temporarily stripped of his power to declare a public health emergency under a measure filed Monday by the Republican leader of the state House of Representatives.

Rep. Blake Miguez is among the GOP legislators who criticized Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) for extending a statewide stay-at-home order through May 15. He filed a resolution (HCR 58) that would suspend Edwards’ authority to declare an emergency related to Covid-19 for 15 days."
