Wow, you weren't lying.

https://www.afa.net/the-stand/press-releases/2016/04/sign-the-boycott-target-pledge/

quote:

The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of Target after the retail giant said it would allow men to use the women's restrooms and dressing rooms in their stores.

On its web site this week, Target announced, "[W]e welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity. ...Everyone deserves to feel like they belong."

This means a man can simply say he "feels like a woman today" and enter the women's restroom...even if young girls or women are already in there.

Target's policy is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims. And with Target publicly boasting that men can enter women's bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?

Clearly, Target's new policy poses a danger to wives and daughters. We think many customers will agree. And we think the average Target customer is willing to pledge to boycott Target stores until it makes protecting women and children a priority.

One solution is a common-sense approach and a reasonable solution to the issue of transgendered customers: a unisex bathroom. Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex bathroom option should be provided.

AFA urges all who think exposing others to danger is a bad idea to take action.

Sign the pledge to boycott Target now! Target should not allow men to enter the women's restrooms and dressing rooms.

After you sign the pledge, contact Target and let them know you've gotten involved and taken action. Call Target Guest Relations at 1-800-440-0680.

Share your concerns on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/target. When sharing this on social media use #BoycottTarget.

Please share this email with family, friends and Sunday School members.

I work at Target. While cashiering today, I was checking out a woman, and I did my typical "Have you heard of our Target Red Card?" spiel. She replied by saying she might not even shop there anymore "if they don't stop that whole transgender business. You can't even go to the bathroom anymore!" I didn't say anything after that, until she got ready to leave and I told her to have a wonderful and persecution free day.

Yeah I'm another one of those and I dislike explaining that to people. I was a rabid libertarian when I was younger and stupider. My social views couldn't go much further to the left but otherwise I could be quite the righty.

The Bush happened. Then I spent a lot of time living in poverty and looking at the services offered to help poor people at least not have lovely lives chipped away. Then I saw the tremendous meltdown the right had over Oblammo getting elected.

Then when in college I saw what that lovable shithead Corbett wanted to do to my state.

kik2dagroin: Mar 23, 2007; Use the anger. Use it.

More of Limbaugh trying to skirt the line between candidates so he doesn't have to take a side and his audience not having any of it :swoon:

quote:

RUSH: I finally figured it out. I have been so crystal clear on what Cruz is doing with the delegates. And I have been beside myself trying to figure out how in the world can anybody disagree with this, and how can anybody see any illegality in it, and it took me three minutes, but I extracted it from the previous caller. And now I understand. You're still all wet, but I at least now understand it, which I will explain in due course.

This is such a discovery. I feel like Columbus, except I know that I have landed in the West Indies and not America. Means I know where I am; he didn't, but he thought he knew. I got it.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

Okay. So, to spell this out for you, a party has its primary, a state as its primary. We'll stick with South Carolina. Trump wins. Which means the delegates that he wins in South Carolina, who are not chosen at the time of the primary. Nobody knows who they are yet. But whoever they end up being are required to vote for Trump on the first ballot. Everybody knows, everybody agrees, no problem.

Some time after the primary the GOP in South Carolina has its convention where many things happen, including the selection of the delegates that go to the convention. The delegates can be inside party bigwigs, they can be people that run for election as delegates in their local precincts, counties or what have you, or they can be appointed by Republican Party bigwigs, or they can be elected Republicans themselves. It's a mixture of all kinds of different people. You could have a guy on his farm out there, next to somebody that owns an automobile dealership. Could be any number of people. And on the first ballot they're pledged to however the people voted in the state.

But in the second and third and fourth and whatever subsequent ballots, they're free agents. They can vote however they wish. Ted Cruz has been going in, and Trump has not. Cruz has going into these states at the time they choose the delegates. He has tried to participate in which delegates get chosen by having delegates that support him be chosen as delegates. The delegates that are not pro-Cruz he then tries to persuade them to be for him on the second and third ballot. Sometimes he'll succeed. Sometimes not. That's it. It's brilliant, it's politics as it's been for eons.

There's nothing new about it. There's no cheating. There's no skullduggery. There's nothing illegal, and yet I get all these people, "I can't believe you're falling for it." And I didn't know until just now that what Trump people think is happening is that Cruz is going in there and buying them. And the reason that's bad is 'cause that's how the establishment does it. And this is what I was missing. The Trump supporters think that Cruz is no different than your average lobbyist, walking up to Capitol Hill and buying off a member of Congress to support open borders.

Instead, it's Cruz as the lobbyist who's going to the state convention and paying for or wining and dining or bribing these delegates, because, after all, what delegate would support Cruz on his own, I guess is the assumption. And because I did not include in my explanation of this the possibility that Cruz might be wining and dining them, it means I was either lying or being fooled and being duped for not realizing what Cruz was really doing. But since this kind of thing is not allowed -- and I know, go and chuckle if you want. Technically you can take 'em to dinner, but you can't promise them this and that and all this talk about Trump flying them around on Trump Force One or putting them up at Mar-a-Lago, I'm joking. Look at the bylaws, it's not permitted, but wink-wink, you say yes, we all know it happens.

As far as I know, Ted Cruz is going in there and selling himself and his conservatism, period. There's nothing illegal about it. But apparently some of you Trump supporters think that Cruz is so reprehensive, so horrible, so rotten, the only way any delegate would support him is if he's paying 'em off. And, I'm sorry, I didn't include that in the possibility in the procedure. In some states -- and this differs from state to state -- in some states they are lobbying for Cruz supporters to be chosen as delegates, and it's the lobbying that rubs people wrong, right? But it's the way politics is. That kind of behavior is not exclusively establishment behavior.

So now I guess I understand why so many of you Trumpists think I've sat here and lost it or am blind to obvious cheating when I haven't seen any, because that has not been part of what I think is going on. You may think I'm still being stupid and think that it is, but it's not. Cruz doesn't have the money and he doesn't have the wherewithal to be buying enough of these delegates. It's not how it's done in this stage. I know you think it is and that's what this election is all about, it's ridding politics of all that establishment, insider stuff, and that Cruz is engaging in it and is rotten to the core.

Let me tell you what happened in Colorado. This is a lost cause, too. Colorado got screwed, in their minds, in 2012. The system in Colorado, they had a primary, and their first ballot delegates were pledged to the guy that won their state, who happened to be Santorum, who happened to not be there at the end. So Colorado's delegation had to vote Santorum on the first ballot and they didn't want to and they resented the rules that made them do it.

So they came up with new rules that would have all of their delegates unbound, every one of the 34 delegates in Colorado this year, by virtue of their rules change, could be unbound 'cause they didn't like the fact that they were locked into somebody that didn't get the nomination in 2012, which in effect made the Colorado delegation useless and pointless at the convention. And nobody wants to go there and not matter.

So they wrote rules suggesting that there wasn't gonna be a primary and their delegates are gonna be chosen and they would be unbound from the get-go. Pennsylvania the same way, for different reasons. Blue in the face, 17 out of 71 delegates are pledged; the other 54 are free agents, up for grabs on the first ballot.

The automatic suspicion here of payoffs, bribery, cheating, lying, stealing, I guess people assume that's going on, it's what politics is, it's what they hate about the establishment, and Trump of course clean and pure as the wind-driven snow is not doing any of that. He's not messing with the delegates. He's not denying anybody their precious vote, so Trump is holier than thou on this.

But Cruz, Kasich and all the rest of these guys are monkeying with Colorado, monkeying with people's right to vote and taking their privilege away from them and disenfranchising them and selling their votes to the highest lobbyist bidder and so forth. I'm telling you that that's not what Cruz is doing.

Trump could go into these state conventions and trying to get these delegates on his side the second, third ballot if he wanted to. He either... Another thing. I refuse to believe he doesn't know the rules here. I think he's made a decision that he wasn't gonna need to do that. He was gonna win this going away a month ago. None of this was gonna be necessary. But now since it is, and they're all gonna be gathered in a single place for four straight days, it's much easier to have at them in Cleveland rather than travel all over the country -- state after state, convention after convention, delegate selection process after delegate selection process.

Why waste your time doing that?

Why staff up for that when it isn't gonna be necessary?

Why have a ground game?

Well, if you don't think you're gonna need a ground game, why have a ground game? Obviously he chose not to have a ground game for the longest time, and Cruz did. But you know what this adds up to? This just illustrates how there can't be any unity. Like our previous caller, Eric, said: The never-Trumpers and never-Cruzers, how do you bring them all together after this? That's his point. (interruption) I'm not accomplishing anything. Snerdley said, "You're doing a great job by explaining." I'm not accomplishing anything. Don't you understand? I'm not accomplishing anything.

In fact, this is, what, my 23rd time explaining this and I still have to do it?

How much am I accomplishing here?

Like...how deranged is that? Not to mention it takes away from real issues related to rape, sexual predators and such by placing it on an imagined threat.

But we all know what game these idiots are playing. Remember the southern strategy? Replaced "Blacks" with "LGBT" and it's pretty obvious what path they're going down. They got beat on "Don't ask don't tell", and Gay Marriage. Now they're using "state's rights" to set up fire walls to continue to allow themselves to keep power and allow themselves the ability to discriminate against people.

Remember that these same people hated the idea of poors eating lobster or having fridges to hold them. They wish to envision a world of limits and entitlements where purple is the color of the noble class, that lobster is for those who don't have to pay taxes, that apparently women must offer sexual gratification because they ingested "the lobster payoff". Which is all the more funny when you look back to the fact that before the 19th century, in the US, Lobster actually was the sign of poverty and something too cruel even to feed to prisoners or dogs. What was once so plentiful that it was embarrassing to be the only thing you "could presente their friends with was a lobster � without bread or anyhting else but a cupp of fair water" is now fancy because industrial age pollution wrecked population levels into a hard to find commodity that now has the market reputation of high class food because its "expensive".

They do this to pander to the lowest common denominator conservative voter because they know that they will get re-elected again next year. North Carolina has one of the most xenophobic and least educated electorates in the South and no matter how reprehensible the policies are, people will still vote for them.

I think the main thing that scares me about modern day Republicans is how they overlook what is best for society and instead vote based on "party principles", which in reality are designed to appeal to racist/evangelical voting bases.
