What's next? The "special rights" propaganda?
Advertisements [?]
I notice r/w, neo-con, "religious" arguments are being debated as though they are fact and that the "logical" result will be the "icky," "feared" polygamists will acquire the same rights that gay couples want. Gee, maybe I'm just being too literal here. Maybe "gay couples" is code for "multiple marriage." Oh wait, it is a dog-whistle if you bought into that reasoning the first time around.

Since it's a recycled piece of propaganda from years gone by, shall we now resurrect the whole "gays want special rights" piece as well?

Maybe we can drudge up a few "if women are allowed to vote then {insert world-ending scenario here}" debates.

We could have a few debates about what will happen if we let white children go to school with non-white children. Maybe we can debate as fact how the military will be destroyed if {insert group} is allowed to integrate; hey, we can even combine the whole "gays want special rights" into this debate as well; a two-fer.

C'mon. Share your favorite r/w, neo-con wet dream created talking point and let's debate it as fact. After all, we wouldn't want to learn from decades of catapulted propaganda and point out fallacies when we can just endlessly debate the same debunked crap from years gone by. Let's be "fair and balanced" and make sure lies are given equal time with truth.

:sarcasm:

:banghead:
