As it happens in Kentucky it is in fact illegal to refuse to do your job if you're a state employee. That's not why she's being jailed (that's for contempt) but she legitimately could be charged with a misdemeanor for her refusal.

I never get tired of Freep's mental gymnastics to make the SCOTUS into tyrants. They just can't wrap their heads around the idea that maybe they were violating the Constitution all this time but no one stopped them because of bigotry. Also their liberal use of the word human being is cute. They found something offensive to spew since they can't say their other favorite word in public.

I caught this little gem in that thread, 2002 freeper actually makes a little sense:

quote:

"Really? Terrorist have used that border to enter the US. But that doesn't really matter does it?"

Here's the truth of that matter. I came back here from eastern Canada once, when there was a terrorist alert for the West. Canadian security was tight, even though it slowed travelers down a little. Sikh security was impressive. They obviously had knowledge of every traveler and searched every Middle Eastern man. Saw it in person.

Terrorists can get over any kind of wall or wire obstacle very quickly and easily. I specialized in obstacles in military training and have quite a bit of experience in civilian security and technical work. Men with construction experience can also cross obstacles very quickly, so a wall on the Mexican border wouldn't do much good, either.

The War on Terror will either have to be won with real soldiers overseas or a huge mess for years involving civilians on our own soil. Police work here alone isn't going to do it. Police aren't able to monitor everyone all of the time, and it's not really their job (little experience there in the past, too).

As for excessive Mexican illegal immigration, denying jobs by getting tough on employers will be the only major way.

Of course, but considering the source I expected some media backlash. I imagined Trump typing out "hedge fund guys" and thinking "oh poo poo better acknowledge the broads or they'll say I'm sexist."

Someone in PP probably committed the arson to stir the pot, gain sympathy, and reflect badly on pro-lifers. Why should they care, anyhow? They commit murder every day in their facilities.

Sort of, anyway. Fascism is an anti-capitalist ideology but it's also an anti-socialist ideology. It was created as a reaction to the perceived failure of capitalism to defeat communism, and the need for a new ideology of the right wing to replace decadent bourgeois liberal capitalism and become the vanguard of conservative opposition to the encroaching left. They did this by stealing rhetoric and organizational tactics from left-wing movements and attempting to redirect them to right-wing political causes.

Or, well, something like that. The problem with fascism is that there is no academic definition of it, because not even fascists were ever able to agree on what fascism was. There was never a Fascist International; they tried to establish one, but it ground to a halt in early meetings, when the various delegates were unable to agree on even rudimentary points of unity between their movements.

Even within the Nazi party there wasn't a consistent coherent approach to capitalism/socialism/economics. There was a purge of the more anti-capitalist factions during the Night of Long Knives, but even after that the Nazi party didn't really have a consistent policy beyond "the state gets to dick around in the market but private ownership can exist if it doesn't mess with the military's needs".
