What if the Religious Right allied with the Working Left?

33. No. You know what? NO.

The Constitution isn't just some "goddamned piece of paper". People's rights, freedom and even their lives aren't some damned pawns to play around with in some chess game. Talk about not only a total lack of empathy, but an attitude that just screams "I got mine, so fuck you!". Hey, you might gain something out of your "deal", and that's all that matters, right? Sucks to be a woman, a non-white, or an LGBT in one of those "unfortunate" states, doesn't it? No skin off your back.

Crazies having their way in even ONE state is one too many. The rights stated in the Constitution are supposed to apply to everyone. That includes the people you feel can be offered up to sacrifice, and people who are just fucking stupid enough to be born the wrong sex, wrong color, wrong orientation, or just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Some people will just have to move". What if they can't? Worse yet, what if you just give away so much power to the crazies that the crazies give themselves the right to kill anyone they don't approve of? Whoops, too late to move out of the state. But, hey, we got ours in the other 25/30/35/40/47 other states, right? Thanks for sacrificing yourself so we can be better off.

Also, have you been paying attention for the last 35 years or so? You throw these assholes a bone, and they want the whole skeleton. You throw them a piece of red meat, and they want the entire cattle farm. You divvy up a state or two for the American Taliban, and you think they'll be happy? Fuck no. "We got Florida and South Carolina? Not good enough. We want North Carolina, and Georgia, and Mississippi, and..." You think Rick Warren is just gonna sit here in California quietly? Hell no. He'll want his, too. Because every fucking time that Gila Monster With A Pompadour (Reagan), the Bush-Whacker, and the Smirking Chimp have thrown these fascists a crumb, they've gone after the whole goddamned bakery.

We're roughly three months removed from the SCOTUS decision making marriage equality the law of the land, and these people are already fighting tooth and nail to undo it and restore Christo-fascism. You go throwing them states and people's lives to "get yours", and they'll fight even harder to GET ALL OF IT, and ALL OF US.

At the very least, your post is completely devoid of empathy. At the worst, it's saying "We don't want nor need YOUR kind anyway."

How absolutely fucking disgusting this thread is, proposing this shit and basically declaring people as pawns.... as human sacrifices.

You know who the fuck else does that shit? Corporations. Yes, those same corporations you're willing to offer us up to defeat. Think about that. How are you any better if you're trying to feed some of us the same shit sandwich they are, just dressed up differently? Some of them are willing to sacrifice us for profits. You're willing to sacrifice us to get what YOU want.

I'm not a fucking pawn. Nor is anyone else who has found themselves in the American Taliban's cross-hairs over the years.

Whiskey?! Tango?! Foxtrot?!
