Reply #42: GLBT rights have not been expanded at all. Not one iota.

[ThomCat]

Some paperwork came out redundantly offering some benefits to a few hundred people who already had had those benefits. That's the big bullshit you're cheering about for LGBT people, and we're supposed to see that as progress.

Meanwhile, he has his DoJ arguing against our rights. He refuses to endorse bills to expand our rights. He refuses to endorse efforts in the states to expand our rights. He promotes homophobes and gives them podiums and government offices, and in the case of the office of faith based initiatives he even gives them budgets and policy making authority.

With regard to free trade he he is actively promoting policies that undermine industries in other nations, especially agricultural efforts. That's very directly protectionist.

He is also using trade policies, and foreign policy to help American corporations. Helping American Corporations is one of the charter purposes of foreign policy. Don't be dense enough to think otherwise. That is inherently protectionist.

He is supporting the whole idea of socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor and for foreigners.

You are giving very naive talking points, and you obviously can't back up any of it with facts.
