Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD General Discussion Kick out the blue states

I believe a company has a right to refuse service, I also believe a company has a right to terminate or disipline an employee who does not follow the company policies.
Oftentimes these are pharmacists working in the "chain pharmacies" such as CVS, where the company sets the policies, not the employee.
Additionally, a pharmacist is not a trained doctor in the sense of diagnosis. Their specialty is understanding physical side effects and interaction of drugs and compounds. If in fact they are performing a 2nd opinion, then they are breaking the law as they are not trained or licensed to do so. Posing fraudulantly as a doctor and performing a diagnosis is a punishable crime.
If they fire the employee for this kind of behaviour, then they are sued for violating the civil rights and religious beliefs of the employee. If they keep them, then they have an out of control employee which they can't get in line with company policy.
They should be written up, then 2nd offense terminated. That would solve the problem.
I heard that the tv station jumped to arafats funeral, what a stupid thing to do. Private Ryan is an awesome movie, watching a box get buried in a shithole like ramallah doesn't quite cut it.
Another thing like the pharmacists is the growing change in school curriculum. States like Deleware now teach "creationism" as the science, and evolution is merely noted as simply a "flawed theory". To me, that is a very scarey trend. And it's picking up steam rapidly.
Throw out the blue states and let them join Canada (bastion of corrupt and Godless liberalism), then ya guys can teach Creationism without us stupid liberals asking questions, you can ban birth control, reintroduce church into state further and more rapidly etc... Perfect solution!

Who cares about Delaware? It's Delaware...Hoo-fucking-rah.
And hey, even American Bleeding Heart Liberals have enough balls to say "Naw...I'm not going for a country with a leaf on the flag. I mean...it looks like a dick covering leaf thing. The Dickaple Leaves. I'll just drink their crazy blue beer with my Zima."

to brighten up a post.
There are more secular conservatives than you'd like to admit.
The blue states will do as they are told. <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

GOod post, ya it seems to be a vicious cycle when someone pulls a stunt like what the pharmicist did. Your exactly right, the pharmicist should be written up, being fired could result in a lawsuit, but not doing anything about it probably will end in one as well. Hate to be in the shoes of the business owner. lol

George Bush on blue states:
"YEEEHAW! I'LL JUST CARVE OUT WHAT I WANT AND RIIIIIIDE THE REST HOME! DADADADADA DUM DAAA"
That was the theme to Bonaza btw.

You voted for a political party which caters VERY heavily to an evangelical christian viewpoint. As such you have endorsed their views, there is no shame in that. You are entitled to support that view, explicitly or emplicitly.
Roe -vs- wade will be overturned within 24 to 36 months (the changes that have been tabled in the last week regarding confirmations will ensure it), planned parenthood was taken out last term. With the action on birth control pills, family planning will be based on abstinance. Evolution is on it's way out, creationism is on it's way in.
These are domestic agendas of the large populous who support your candidate. As such he (and his party) need to cater to them. Thats just the nature of politics, find an audience and please them.
As such, you have voted for, endorsed and supportted these initiatives. There is no reason to be embarassed or feel ashamed for supporting this change in your nation. You are entitled to do so. Regardless of your personal views (secular or orthadox (though i doubt orthadox, justa guess)) you have lent your voice in support of these changes.
There is a lot of value to the deeply religious folks, so you should feel good that you are supporting something of value. Such as their strong convictions regarding family and their community. Those are good values.

And then you wonder why you liberals keep losing elections?

Good post, there would seem to be a need for a 3rd party which sat more in the middle.
The downside is that the 2 party system is one of the unique strengths of the nation. Once you get a 3rd, 4th, 5th party representing other views and niche wants, then you start seeing coalition building in order to make a senate or congress.
Those coalitions tend to stagnate progress, as the leader can't step any way as a coalition member may get upset, leave and bring down the govt. A normal occurance elsewhere.
I'ld like to see other views have voices as well, but it may stymie the ability of the country to make drastic changes easily and be rapidly adaptive.

The President cannot overturn Roe v Wade directly. The Supreme Court can. There are justices on the bench who will not, under any circumstances, allow that to happen.
However, the President picks from a list of three candidates given by the JBC. Judicial and Bar Council. So...He can't go off and pick some moonshine swilling yahoo from Alabama. Unless he is nominated. And from that list other judges have to support the nominees. It's not required, but it's not wise to piss off the Supreme Court even if your the President. Credibility. You may think "well...hell, Finny is just a shitbag who knows about as much about politics as he does about fornicating". Damn straight. More Joy of Sex with Finn. However, since Republicans control both the House and the Senate...don't look for an impeachment anytime soon, boys and girls, even if he does push for overturning the ruling and all sorts of other groovy things that pisses off left-wingers. They are firmly in power. The Supreme Court is the last bastion, it seems. Which goes back up to the first paragraph. Reread it, I'll wait.
It's like when you elect a new congressman, and you get pissed because he didn't push for that bill you want or even offer it to Congress. No credibility. He's just a freshman.
Common Democrats and Liberals (with few exceptions that I've dated because those feminazi liberal girls are freaks behind closed doors. I got scars for Chrissakes) don't realize how much credibility means in Washington. That is another reason why Kerry lost. His credibilty was shot to hell when he said "war criminals". Remember? You may say "well...so was Bush's and moonshine swilling yahoos voted for him". That's because Bush's credibility was shot just a teeeeeny bit less. Maybe just to heck. If ya'll on the left would've go a tad easier on the slander and attacks...Might've won. Focused more on mud slinging than real politik.
And when all is said and done...and the liberals start flaming and sending me PMs...And this viagra wears off...
IF Roe v Wade is overturned...I can guarantee it will be because that is what the majority of Americans want. That's what a Democracy is. Majority rule. There are laws to protect the minority, but not what you think. There are laws to protect, say, a law being passed that makes all middle class people the slaves of the rich. I mean real slavery, indentured service, etc.
REMEMBER: MAJORITY RULE. It may not be what YOU want, but it's what THE COUNTRY wants. But at least your free to rant and scream and piss on flags and spit on soldiers because you think America sucks mucho ass.
And finally...I support abortion. I support partial birth abortion. If there is something sucking life out of you not entirely unlike cancer, then by all means kill the bitch. Suck it out. Eat it, hell, I don't care. It's none of my goddamn business.
(I was reading one of the liberal newsletters I subscribe to, so I apologize for jumping from idea to idea. The main point of the thing was impeachment and minority rights and the word "trampling". Pretty hilarious.)

I always thought that our constitution was supposed to protect the minority for the tyranny of the majority? The supreme court is a bitch because it is able to get around all the barriers. Ever wonder why its so damn hard to make an amendment? Its so slight majority can't screw over the minority. But the supreme court got us around that.
I think the supreme court is by far and away the most powerful group in washington. Where else can 5 people competely change laws and not have to answer to anyone?
