"The spirit of non-discrimination," said Block "ends you right up in compulsory bisexuality."

I'm not sure what that last sentence means, nor do I really want to.

If you make a strawman out of non-discrimination logic, and then take it to it's furthest extreme, then to prefer one gender over another in terms of sexual attraction would be considered discriminatory.



It's kind of like the "gay marriage = legalized beastiality" argument.

See, there was my problem. I assume that Block wasn't a blooming idiot.

Speaking of blooming idiots, Sarah Palin is defending Rand and says that Maddow was "prejudiced".

peaking to "Fox News Sunday," the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee said that Paul was being subjected to the same biased media coverage that marked her run for office, before offering her Tea Party-backed candidate a bit of advice.

"One thing we can learn in this lesson that I have learned and Rand Paul is learning now is don't assume that you can engage in a hypothetical discussion about constitutional impacts with a reporter or a media personality who has an agenda, who may be prejudiced before they even get into the interview in regards to what your answer may be," Palin said. "You know, they are looking for the gotcha moment. And that evidently appears to be what they did with Rand Paul, and I'm thankful he clarified his answer about his support for the Civil Rights Act."

Asking hard questions that require some thought and nuance = GOTCHA!

This just in: Rand Paul is no fan of the 14th amendment.

Legislation dubbed the Birthright Citizenship Act was introduced in the House last year seeking to prevent citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants even though the 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees citizenship to everyone born in the U.S.

Don't you know, Alphapance? The constitution doesn't mean anything, next to the bible, which is what America was really founded on. Especially because it was written by that communist fascist Tomas Jefferson.
