Profiling

 

Are we going to someday become a country that truly treats people equally? We are not anywhere near that at the moment. We have different groups of people all over the country that go out of their way to pick on pretty much anyone that is not essentially a clone of them.

Despite the claims to the contrary Ferguson for instance is quite obviously a town that is incredibly racist.

We need to stop this but in order to do it we really need to make sure that every single registered voter gets to the polls in November. We also need to fix the voter suppression laws that are in place in a lot of states. We absolutely need require voter ID but that is all. Getting rid of early voting is stupid. It is not just one party that votes in early voting so there is no reason to stop it.

As far as profiling goes there is finally an fairly serious attempt to stop it. Check out this article.

Politicians that are Religious Idiots!

 

I am so tired of the stupidity that we continue to see from politicians of all parties.

Here is an article that shows obvious bias against religions other than Christianity from a potential politician. Wake up people. The reason the pilgrims came to this country was to get away from biases like that. They did not want to be forced into joining the Church of England nor did they want to be forced into living life the way the church thought it should be lived.

Everyone has the right to their own beliefs and has the freedom to speak about it. The problem here is that way too many people believe that freedom of speech and freedom of religion gives them the right to trample on the rights of those that do not practice their religions.

STOP IT. That is not the way it should work and I would really love to see people start being fined for trampling the rights of others. And everyone should remember that according to the Supreme Court Corporations are people too so they need to also be fined. And the fines need to start going to the people whose rights were trampled on rather than just being thrown in the General Fund to be wasted on some stupid Pork project.

Everyone should remember. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion does NOT give you the right to discriminate against people whose lifestyle or religion you do not agree with.
