Where are comrades supporters on this issue? Should protests be made illegal?

Over the weekend, millions of demonstrators took to streets across the country to mobilize against the new president and his agenda, assembling in a national turnout that organizers call the beginning of a reinvigorated protest movement. But in states home to dozens of Saturday’s demonstrations, Republican lawmakers are moving to criminalize and increase penalties on peaceful protesting.

Last week, I reported that such efforts were afoot in five states: In Minnesota, Washington state, Michigan, and Iowa, Republican lawmakers have proposed an array of anti-protesting laws that center on stiffening penalties for demonstrators who block traffic; in North Dakota, conservatives are even pushing a bill that would allow motorists to run over and kill protesters so long as the collision was accidental. Similarly, Republicans in Indiana last week prompted uproar over a proposed law that would instruct police to use “any means necessary” to clear protesters off a roadway.

I was out fishing today and I was listening to a right wing talk show. Those idiots were calling in referencing Scriptures to justify why protester are the devil and need to be stopped. They're truly sick.

the scripture they should reference is that jesus and his family fled to egypt to evade herrod @ the instruction of God via an angel. Jesus was a refugee, but they don't want to have that conversation.

Ship me some striped bass and crappie. I have never caught or eaten either. Pack in dry ice. I will pay for freight.

That's why I had to get out today. It was cold mid 40's, but with all the Trump talk and his foolishness I'm tired of him and the talk.

If you really want to mess them up (and maybe some of us) remind them that Jesus did not look like them.

Some of our people of color have forgotten how "scriptures and the bible" were used to justify discrimination - we had the "Mark of Cain".

For you to young to remember:

One of the most popular biblical stories is also the one most often used to justify white racial superiority. After he disembarked from his 40-day cruise, Noah went a little wild in his celebrations, resulting in a bit of indecent exposure whilst passed out on the floor. Noah's son, Ham, walked in on him and saw the display. Rather than covering Noah, Ham went and blabbed all about it. When Noah recovered from his bender, he was not pleased with Ham and so he cursed Ham's son: “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers” (Genesis 9:25). Eventually the Canaanites did indeed become slaves to the Jews, so end of story, right? Nah...

Some claim that people with dark skin descended from Ham, while white folks came from Japheth and Asians came from Shem. Ham's name is thought to translate to 'black /dark,' and his descendants populated North-East Africa (Cush's descendants populated Sudan, Mizraim to Egypt, Phut to Libya, while Canaan's folks went to Israel). Again, the claim here is that both the skin, the curse, and the seedy disposition are heritable.

But of course modern race is so much more complicated than these simple lineages would suggest. We have mixed so much since then that there is little practical justification for such a delineation. Not to mention, it is actually Canaan that is cursed, not his African brothers!

If there is a draft, which I doubt, let's not forget, starting next year it won't be just men having ot register.
Women turning 18 on or after Jan. 1, 2018, would be forced to register for Selective Service, as men must do now.

It will not get passed in Minnesota or Washington state. LOL. Especially Washington. They got legal WEED but can't protest. RIGHT!!!

2 Kings 5:27
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall stick to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

It cuts both ways. That's why they didn't want us to read.

If you really want to mess them up (and maybe some of us) remind them that Jesus did not look like them.

those low information voting, fake news watching people wouldn't believe it. Try and tell them that the term middle east wasn't coined until the 1700's. So.... that means that Israel prior to that time was... a part of Africa.

Correction....Israel IS a part of Africa. Just because they call it something else does not make it so.
