re: Town Hall on Equal Benefits
I just have to say that I think it's funny that conservatives control every branch of the federal government, AND that they control the house of reps here in Oregon, but nonetheless conservatives still feel victimized!
Somehow, by being inclusive, we are "taking their rights away." I mean, it's funny.
That they can complain about not being heard or represented by the government is laughable. Conservatives used to make fun of liberal constituencies for "whining" about not being heard or catered to, and now they have the gall to do it when they are represented in every branch of government. Geesh!
The sad truth of it is that conservatives have learned that it is easier to do really mean things to already disadvantaged groups under the guise of self-defense, rather than admitting that you are going out of your way to make life harder for people just because you want to and you can.
Do you see how others saying "Happy Holidays" has nothing to do with whether or not you say it?
Do you see that two women getting married doesn't affect your marriage at all?
Do you see that when the city says it only wants to contract with companies with certain practices, it doesn't force your company to act any way at all?
