Voting Question: Is God demanding authoritarian society or an equal society?

Well lets consider the following 1. God wants us to obey 2. God thinks homosexuality is a sin along with Atheism, believes that the ideas shouldn't be tolerated by religious community. Religious community suppresses it. 3. Without complete obedience equals Hell Authoritarian: favoring complete obedience or subjection to authority as opposed to individual freedom So it is safe to assume that god wants us to kiss his hand more than bringing liberty to all? Why does everyone say god blesses America when his policies are directly posing as an adversary of our policies? Freedom of religion? Thou shall not worship any other gods before me. Freedom of speech? Women not allowed to speak in churches. Right to vote? 19th amendment, god thinks women are second class citizens. No equality people just an authoritarian society. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/authoritarian more

Resolved Question: Shouldn't DEMOCRATS ONLY PAY REPARATIONS since they fought to keep slavery, Jim Crow Laws, and started the KKK?

100 years ago you Democrats were enforcing Jim Crow segregation laws, poll taxes to keep blacks from voting, and riding around in sheets and pointy hats just in case blacks didn't get the message. Democrats say "It's important to have a collective response" because you want to bury the origins, purposes, and historical practices of your own party. Principled Republicans knowing their history would author a resolution reciting the facts that the Republican Party was formed, among other reasons, to oppose slavery and that the Republican Party and its first President Abraham Lincoln responded to Southern, Democrat-led secession with a successful war that preserved the union and freed the slaves. After Lincoln's assassination (by a Democrat), the Republican-led Congress (over the objections of the Democratic Party minority) amended the Constitution to confirm the liberation of the slaves (13th Amendment: slavery abolished), and the 14th Amendment (freed slaves are citizens equal to all citizens) and the 15th Amendment (right to vote guaranteed to freed slaves). Southern Democrats spent the next 100 years trying to keep freed slaves down with segregation laws, poll taxes to deny the right to vote, and lynching to enforce the social order. The KKK was formed by a Democrat; no Republican has ever been a member of the KKK. This is the heritage of the Democratic Party. In fact, the Democratic Party was formed in the first place to defend and expand slavery. In 1840, the very first national nominating convention of the Democratic Party adopted a platform which read in part: Resolved, That Congress has no power ... to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several states ... that all efforts by abolitionists ... made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery ... are calculated ... to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the union.In 1868, the DEMOCRATIC party condemned the Republican Party in its party platform as the "Radical Party," and condemned Reconstruction in these unforgettable words: Instead of restoring the Union, it (the Radical Party) has dissolved it, and subjected ten states (the former Confederate states) ... to military despotism and negro supremacy.hardcore you are wrong EISENHOWER PUT FORTH MORE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT (R) more

Resolved Question: Obama throws the Gay Community under the Bus! Why did he back peddle on his campaign promise to support gay?

marriage? Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage: President Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples. Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights. (emphasis added) The White House has removed the president's goal to repeal the act. The website now states the following: President Obama also continues to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes that our anti-discrimination employment laws should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. ... (emphasis added) The White House also temporarily altered language promising to repeal the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. The newly worded statement simply said the president "supports changing Don't Ask Don't Tell in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=97937Mark D and truth......I thought he was going to be different.

Resolved Question: DBQ #10 is this right?

This is my first DBQ in my whole life. My teacher didn't really helped me, she just gave me some worksheet s on how to start your DBQ. I know i dont have almost anythign for states rights so if you could help me in that too.Soo I just want to know is this right. should i change something? Here is the DBQ # 10 documents: http://www.walch.com/samplepages/059032.pdf and here is my essay: What led to the southern states to secede did not occur overnight. Many problems and compromises led to secession. “It was the last feather which you know breaks the camel’s back” (Document 7) Concluding on what the documents say, I can tell they seceded because they thought Lincoln would abolish slavery, also because of the “states’ rights” and the Dred Scott decision. These all led to secession and the Civil War. Lincoln promising to abolish slavery played a big role on secession. Southerners economy depended on agriculture, and cotton was one of their major crops. So they needed slaves to work in their fields. When they heard that Lincoln would abolish slavery they thought “If Lincoln were president…the Union would be endangered from that hour.” (Document 3) So because of that, the South started to think that it is “Better leave the Union in the open face of day, than be lighted from it at midnight by the [arsonist’s] torch.” (Document 2) They also said that “All citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property in the Territory, without their rights, either of person or property, being…impaired…” (Document 1) This means that the south believed that slaves were their property, and that they had the right to take them with them. So when they noticed that Lincoln was going to abolish slavery they decided it would be best to secede than not have anything to make money from. Another problem was “States’ Rights”. In the dictionary states rights means this: 1. All rights not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution nor denied by it to the states. Sates rights is supported by the 10th amendment. And the South thought because of states rights they have the right to stay with their slaves. The Dred Scott decision also contributed in secession. The South believed that slaves were their property, and they should go wherever they went. And they supported that with the states’ rights principle. “All citizens have an equal right to settle with their property in the Territory” (Document 1) But the Dred Scott Decision opposed all of that, since it stated that black slaves were not free in a free state. This served as an eye-opener for the North who believed that slavery was tolerable as long as it stayed in the South. “It opened our eyes to the fact that there were two hostile elements in the country, and that if we allowed slaves to enter any territorial acquisition, our free labor must be excluded from it.” (Document 5) They argued about this for a reasonable time until the south eventually seceded from the south. We really don’t know what really caused secession. Even researchers can’t solidly say what the cause of secession was. But people can infer, and with clues, can have an idea of what caused secession. For this essay the 3 reasons that led to secession were: Lincoln promising to abolish slavery, The Dred Scott decision of 1857, and the principle of states rights. more

Resolved Question: Why did the Mormon (LDS) Church oppose the Equal Rights Amendment, which would guarantee gender equality?

I mean, isn't gender equality a GOOD thing? Yet the Mormons excommunicated Sonia Johnson for it decades ago, because she supported the ERA. And plus, the United States of America is a country of obviously different beliefs and non-belief, so nobody would be forcing a religious institution (like the LDS) to change church practices based on the ERA. more

Is this a strong speech? Same- Sex Rights Gay marriage is one of the most controversial topics discussed today. Thirty-nine of the fifty states already have laws against it, according to About.com: US Politics. Marriage is a right given to all citizens. It should not be limited to just the straight orientation. Our way of life is ever changing and legalizing gay marriage is a change we need to make as a country. Every citizen in America has the same rights, regardless of their lifestyle choices. The constitution was created to protect the freedom we fought for. It was not meant to be used the way it is today: to challenge the rights of people through prejudice. The first section of Amendment fourteen says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Basically, every citizen has the same rights and no person should be denied of their rights. This is exactly what we want to do: deny gays the right to a same-sex marriage. Not only is it politically incorrect to deny gays the right to marriage, it would complicate the systems in the United States. If every state is allowed to choose between banning and legalizing gay marriage, would states that ban it have to acknowledge the marriage of a same-sex couple if they move there? Would same-sex couples be limited to the states that do acknowledge it? I have tried to avoid using religion as an argument, but those opposed to gay marriage try constantly to use it to their advantage. Religion, particularly Christianity, cannot be used in a legal argument because it is considered politically incorrect. Yes, Christianity was used in the creation of this country and is our official religion, but it is now considered politically incorrect to claim one religion superior over another. Don’t get me wrong; I am Christian. I know the bible states "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable". "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” This clearly states that homosexuality is wrong. There are other laws in the Old Testament that we no longer follow; for example, Exodus 35:2 clearly states people who work on the Sabbath should be put to death. We don’t kill those that work on the Sabbath day. Why, then, won’t we allow same-sex marriage? Christians should also recognize that not everyone shares the same religion; not everyone believes in God. These matters should be kept in church doctrine and not brought into the government. People also need to realize there are two types of marriages: legal and religious. Legal marriages should be open to any two people wanting a marriage license. Religious marriages can then be reserved for those that believe in the sacred nature of marriage. Our country is continually changing and growing in cultural diversity. Same- sex marriage should be legalized throughout the country. We need to put aside our personal stereotypes and give everyone the right to their own pursuit of happiness more

Resolved Question: what does this phrase mean to “promote diversity”?

"Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has thrown her support to an amendment in a Senate bill that directs the FCC to explicitly “take actions to encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership and to ensure that broadcast station licenses are used in the public interest,” according to CNS News." The amendment has become known as the Durbin amendment, after its sponsor, Senate Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin, D-Ill. “Certainly, I support Mr. Durbin in most things,” Pelosi told CNS News. “Diversity in media ownership is very, very, important.” The amendment is clearly an attempt to revive the Fairness Doctrine – an unpopular FCC regulation removed in 1987 that forced broadcasters to grant equal airtime to opposing political viewpoints, Republican Rep. Mike Pence told CNS News. personally, i believe that the liberals hate diversity, they only want those who are in lock step with their opinions to have a voice. free speech is our right and those who would regulate it are trampling the Constitution. when you silence one segment of society, then it becomes much easier to silence another. everyone has the opportunity to be a talk show host, the market will determine their success or failure. what is so wrong with that unless you fear other opinion. there is nothing Fair about the Fairness Doctrine. more

Resolved Question: compare the advantages and disadvantages of the electoral and popular voting systems?

ok i have no clue how to do this its due tomorrow for government it only has to be a paragraph...10 points! please :) heres the article AP Photo/Bob Bird NEW YORK, New York (Achieve3000, February 10, 2008). In the 2000 presidential election, the majority of American voters chose candidate Al Gore for president, but the presidency went instead to George W. Bush. Why did this happen? Because even though Gore won the popular vote—meaning that more individual voters had voted for him—Bush won the electoral vote. In U.S. presidential elections, it's the electoral vote that matters. So what exactly is the electoral vote? The president is selected by members of what is called the Electoral College. Each state has members in the Electoral College. These members are called electors. The number of electors assigned to each state is equal to the combined number of senators and representatives that state has seated in Congress. This combination of leaders is also called the state's congressional delegation. In most states, the candidate who wins the majority of a state's popular votes receives all of the state's electoral votes. Now, critics of the electoral system are calling for reform. They believe that the winner of the national popular vote should become president. It should not be the winner of the electoral vote. John R. Koza is chairman of National Popular Vote, Inc. His organization is campaigning to have the outcome of presidential elections determined by the popular vote. Koza and other critics of the electoral system voice several concerns. One concern is that in the electoral system, some states are simply ignored by presidential candidates. For example, if the Democratic candidate is assured of winning a state, the Republican candidate has little incentive to conduct a campaign there. The Republican candidate would focus instead on larger, elector-rich states. Another concern is the prospect of a result like that in 2000. One candidate might once again receive more votes overall, while the opposing candidate wins more votes in the Electoral College. National Popular Vote asserts that a reformed presidential election process would remedy these issues. The organization is proposing that states forge an agreement. The agreement would modify the way they distribute presidential election votes. States would award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of who carries each state. Koza believes the proposed agreement would standardize the way states award their electoral votes. It would also give every voter equal influence. Supporters of the Electoral College system, however, foresee problems with the proposed agreement. Currently, when state election results are very close, the state must re-count all of the votes to ensure accuracy. Some people claim that under the national popular vote system, a close presidential election would require difficult and time-consuming re-counts throughout the country. Those in favor of the Electoral College system also say that it is a more balanced system. They say that it gives more weight to the votes of states with fewer citizens. A transition to the popular vote system, they claim, would reduce the influence of small states. It would, they say, actually yield the same problem raised by advocates of the popular vote. Candidates, they claim, would focus only on states with larger populations. Lawrence Klemin is a North Dakota state representative. "Any way you look at it, I think smaller populations have a greater voice under the current system than they would under a national popular vote system," he said. Klemin voted against his state entering into the National Popular Vote's agreement. Governors in California and Hawaii have also opposed legislation endorsing the national popular vote plan. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the governor or California. He said that the reform would take away from individual states' rights. Other governors, such as Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, are expected to endorse the proposal. As a member of Congress, Blagojevich co-sponsored a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College. more

Resolved Question: Was the USA founded as a Christian nation?

From what I understand, people declare the USA is a Christian nation despite all the history. Can anyone explain how it is possible, based on: US Paper money between 1776 -1955 (179 years) did not have the phrase "In God we trust" on it. This was added in 1955 by then Secretary of the Treasury, George W. Humphrey and approved by President Eisenhower. US Coins between 1776-1864 (88 years) did not have the phrase "In God we trust" on them. This was added in 1864 by then Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase and approved by Congress. The original pledge of Allegiance as written in 1892 and recited for 62 years did not contain the phrase "under God". In 1954 this phrase was added by the Knights of Columbus and approved by President Eisenhower. The entire US Constitution does not contain the word "God." The US Constitution does not define religion; not even in the First Amendment, which bars the Federal Government from interfering with religion in the United States. Article VI, states that "no religious Test shall ever be required as Qualification" for federal office holders. The oath taken by the President of the United States is Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution. It does NOT contain "So help me God", which has been added verbally by most modern Presidents. The Declaration of Independence uses "God" only once. It is in a God of nature or "mother earth" sense. Quote: "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." The Declaration of Independence once uses the phrase "Divine Providence" without definition. A common definition is "The cooperation of nature with everything that happens." Every religion has its own interpretation of this phrase. Many of the more prominent Founding Fathers were vocal about their opposition to organized religion or anti-clerical. Some of them often related their anti-organized church leanings in their speeches and correspondence, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. First President George Washington was a religious man and expressed this in his National Thanksgiving Proclamations. He enforced the separation between Church & State and made no impositions on Americans with regard to religion during his Presidency. A bill was proposed which would have the government impose a levy "towards the support of that which [religion] they profess." On October 3rd, 1785, Washington wrote a letter to George Mason concerning this bill. He stated that though he is not opposed to the concept of membership to a faith requiring payment, it is unwise to impose religious matters by law. (Library of Congress) Quote:"I think it will be productive of more quiet to the State, than by enacting it into a Law; which, in my opinion, would be impolitic…" During Washington's Presidency, US ships were falling victim to pirates off the coast of Tripoli (now Libya.) A twelve-article treaty with the Muslim nation was drafted to arrange payment in exchange for safe passage of US ships in their waters and peace. To help dispel basis for a religious war, this treaty included the wording: "Article 11. As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion..." The Treaty of Tripoli was unanimously ratified by the Senate, then signed into law and proclaimed to the Nation by second President John Adams on June 10, 1797. It was published in US newspapers with no record of any objection. As early as 1802, religious groups began questioning the intent of the Separation of Church and State. The Danbury Baptists wrote to Founding Father and third President Thomas Jefferson when they feared that their minority could threaten their freedoms. Thomas Jefferson responded in a letter (Which is on record with the U.S. Library of Congress) Quote: "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." James Madison, fourth President and the principal drafter of the United States Bill of Rights wrote the following in the document: "Backgrounder on the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom" (Which is on file with the US State Department) Quote: "... no man shall be compelled to frequent more

Which statement is true of relations between Native Americans and the colonies or the United States between 1607 and 1900? Native Americans opposed European colonization at first, but in the 1800s chose to assimilate into white American culture. The desire for land led colonists, and then the United States government and people, to push Indians off their land and destroy their way of life. Native Americans suffered hardships when Europeans first arrived in North America, but relations improved during the 1800s. Native Americans avoided contact and conflict with non-Indians in North America as much as possible. more

Resolved Question: Obama's stance on gay marriage?

His views on gay marriage is a tad bit confusing. He fully supports only civil unions of same-sex couples BUT opposes a ban on same-sex marriage. Can anyone explain that pweeeeze? Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights. Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage: President Obama voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006 which would have defined marriage as between a man and a woman and prevented judicial extension of marriage-like rights to same-sex or other unmarried couples. i got it from the official website. thanxx=]] http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/civil_rights/ more

Resolved Question: Would you recommend or watch mainstream media Constitution Classes?

Do you think it would be interesting if all major TV stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, FOX, C-Span etc.) had an annual "class" or documentary on the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and the role of government as the Constitution and Founding Fathers had envisioned? Almost like a state of the Union address. 1-2 hours of uninterrupted...CLASS. From the preamble. Then support it with letters from the FF (Founding Fathers) that explain what they were thinking when they wrote it and why they wrote it that way? To the articles (explaining why they wanted a congress to legislate), how the executive branch is supposed to do such and such and the Judicial branch was/is meant to do...? Maybe explain the Bill of Rights (1st 10 amendments) and give equal time to those that oppose certain aspects of the BoR and why? Landmark decisions from the Supreme Court. Maybe discuss how the slavery issue WAS brought up in the first draft of the Constitution and they wanted (I believe it was) 19 years for the issue to settle and be expunged once and for all (it did not happen for almost 100 years unfortunately). Emphasizing WHAT the FF's thought as they wrote each line. Explaining in-depth the struggles they had and the decisions they made. How has it changed from then to now. I think you get the idea, I could go on. Please gimme a star and answer the question. Would you recommend it and/or would you WATCH it?One quick emphasis. I am talking like a State of the Union Address. Where ALL of the primary channels would have 1-2 hours uninterrupted...at ONE time.

Resolved Question: Can someone please help me with my essay on conservatism vs liberalism?

So after I wrote my intro and a little history on the the two ideologies, I need to write a paragraph about how liberalism and conservatism connect to the Republican and Democratic parties. I also have to write about the definitions of the two ideologies, and their beliefs on issues such as abortion etc....now for my question, can anyone please help me how I should arrange this? I wrote it out, but the paragraphs would be too long if I put it together and its confusing for me to organize it. My second question, how exactly does liberalism and conservatism connect to the Republican and Democratic parties? help please!!! I would really appreciate it...here are my paragraphs in the essay so far: Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity, relative to any constraints imposed by the states. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a liberal democracy, where all citizens have equal rights by law. There are two major streams of thought which compete over the use of the term liberal, which are classical liberalism and social liberalism. Classical liberals place the highest value on individual freedom and believe the role of government should be limited. They see state intervention in the economy as a restriction on the economic freedom of individuals. Social liberals want the government to play an active role in promoting the freedom of citizens. They favor the right to healthcare, an education and a minimum wage. Some also favor laws against pollution, provision of welfare, and discrimination in housing and employment. The Democratic Party is home to an ideologically diverse base, with liberals forming the largest and most influential demographic within the party. Conservatism is a belief in the virtue of preserving traditional values, where tradition refers to various religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs. The Republican Party supports a conservative ideology with further establishment in social conservatism and supply-side fiscal policies, which argues that economic growth, can be most effectively created by adjusting the income tax and capital gains tax rates. Democrats and Republicans have opposing opinions on many different issues such as abortion, taxes, affirmative action, and the environment. When dealing with the issue of abortion, Democrats believe it is the advocate’s choice. Republicans support a human life amendment to the constitution that would outlaw abortion, without exceptions. (THEN WRITE ABOUT MORE ISSUES) someone please help!! THANKS! more

Resolved Question: What is your opinion of the facts of this Wall street Journal article on the missing history of he DNC?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121856786326834083.html Concerning the DNC history Excerpt: There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms supporting slavery. There were six from 1840 through 1860. There is no reference to the number of Democratic presidents who owned slaves. There were seven from 1800 through 1861 There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the subject. There were 20, from 1868 through 1948. There is no reference to "Jim Crow" as in "Jim Crow laws," nor is there reference to the role Democrats played in creating them. These were the post-Civil War laws passed enthusiastically by Democrats in that pesky 52-year part of the DNC's missing years. These laws segregated public schools, public transportation, restaurants, rest rooms and public places in general (everything from water coolers to beaches). The reason Rosa Parks became famous is that she sat in the "whites only" front section of a bus, the "whites only" designation the direct result of Democrats. There is no reference to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, which, according to Columbia University historian Eric Foner, became "a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party." Nor is there reference to University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease's description of the Klan as the "terrorist arm of the Democratic Party." There is no reference to the fact Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. The 13th banned slavery. The 14th effectively overturned the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision (made by Democratic pro-slavery Supreme Court justices) by guaranteeing due process and equal protection to former slaves. The 15th gave black Americans the right to vote. There is no reference to the fact that Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1866. more

Resolved Question: Why is Obama playing into the hands of the KKK's own party?

The KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party. Our nation's top historians reveal that the Democratic Party gave us the Ku Klux Klan, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation which resulted in the multitude of murders, lynchings, mutilations, and intimidations (of thousands of black and white Republicans).

Resolved Question: Is the male-only draft registration a violation of the 14th amendment? Where is NOW?

The 14th amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. Currently, only men have to register for the draft. Only men are required to fight to protect the rights and freedoms of the US citizens, male and female alike. Failure to register can bring about strict penalties. Does it follow that men are not receiving equal protection under the law since their lives are jeopardized under penalty of law, while women are protected from draft registration? This kind of discrimination seems to perpetuate the "female is weak" mentality that NOW opposes. Why won't NOW lobby to have draft registration for everyone?No apology needed Valerie. NOW adopted a resolution the year after the draft was reinstated, and have been silent on the issue ever since. They are busy trying to resurrect the Equal Rights Amendment, though. more

Resolved Question: MORMONS: The Equal Rights Amendment and LDS opposition?

Why did the Mormon Church so strongly oppose the Equal Rights Amendment in the late 1970's and early 80's? In fact, didn't the Mormon church send bus loads of women to DC to protest against the passing of an amendment designed to give equal rights to women? Equal Rights Amendment Text Section 1: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Section 2: The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. Section 3: This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.rkd6: Yes, I am interested and yes, I will have a look. But as a reasonable person (and I often find you to be one) you must admit that this looks pretty bad. By the way, Mormons are the only people defending the Mormon stance on this. It would be different if the National Organization of Women saw the logic in the Mormon stance and advocated for the LDS position. This seems similar to Philip Morris defending their data and position that smoking really isn't very harmful.Palmermom: I don't doubt that the LDS church wanted to keep this quiet... But check out CNN's webpage, or just Google "ERA and Mormons"history: A lot of these same quotes could apply to the debate on slavery more than 100 years ago.Linda K: Uh, people have written books on this... Where have you been? http://www.signaturebooks.com/reviews/pedestals.htmlMore for Linda K: http://www.now.org/issues/economic/cea/history.html http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/APSA%202001.pdfMary: I respect your opinion, but I also realize that your opinion sounds exactly like the opinion of someone who may be too brainwashed or afraid to say anything else.rkd6: But why openly oppose it and send bus loads of LDS women decry it? At the legislative level, there are a lot of great bills that serve a primarily symbolic function. This was an amendment designed to raise consciousness, not outlaw bigotry. (Excuse my French, but there always will be dumbasses and bigots.) If there is no harm in adopting symbolic legislation, why wouldn't the LDS church do it, if for no other reason than to help mend their own image a bit? It seems the LDS church needs a public policy division capable of making some really shrewd political choices. Instead, these choices are made in the form of edicts by old white guys who are out of the loop. I'd love to chat with you about this in another place... Provide me with a contact email if you want. more

Resolved Question: Why do Conservatives pick and choose the Constitution?

like they do with the Bible? I mean under the Constitution,everyone is equal no matter, but the Conservatives don't want to give gay people the right to marry someone of the same sex just because the Bible says it's wrong which brings me to my next point. And that is that the Bible or any other holy book should not have any say in creating laws. It's a separation of Church and State And also,with the second amendment,it says "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" So unless the people are in a militia,why do they need a gun. And fine if they want a gun in their house,that's fine with me,but that doesn't mean there should be no regulations. Why would they oppose regulations when dealing with guns@ Mark D,um...laws against murder and things like that are common sense and the society doesn't need a contradicting book like the Bible to tell us that. The Bible also says slavery is ok? Should we incorporate that in?@southern bear,there you cherry picking again. The right to bear arms yes,but look at the first part of the amendment. "Well regulated militia". Are you a part of a militia? If so,continue keeping a gun in your house more

Resolved Question: Did you know Arizona is trying to keep LEGAL immigrants from marrying citizens?

Would you be in support of a bill like that? Why or why not? BAN ON MARRIAGE LICENSES FOR NON-CITIZENS (HB 2631) – OPPOSE – This bill requires all individuals seeking to obtain a marriage license to prove they are U.S. citizens before their marriage licenses will be accepted by the state. This bill violates the rights of both U.S. citizens and their chosen noncitizen partners. As the Supreme Court has long held, "Marriage is one of the 'basic civil rights of man,' fundamental to our very existence and survival." Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 12 (1967). Preventing someone from getting married because of citizenship status is unconstitutional, and violates the fundamental right of all persons to marry under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. This bill is unlawful for the separate reason that it is wholly inconsistent with federal immigration law, which specifically envisions that American citizens will marry immigrants and provides a mechanism for the immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens to become lawful permanent residents of the U.S. and eventually, U.S. citizens.Please do, I always encourage research and not take one persons word on anything. Please let me know if you find anything to the contrary as I was very offended over this proposed bill too.Legal immigrants ARE NOT CITIZENS. Another misconception of some ppl. more
