PayPal Pulls Plans in North Carolina Over Transgender Law
Fortune ^ | 04/05/2016 | Leena Rao

Posted on 04/05/2016 8:23:02 AM PDT by GIdget2004

PayPal is withdrawing plans to open an operations center in Charlotte, N.C., in reaction to the state overturning a local law that would have let transgender people use public bathrooms that match their gender identities.

Last week, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed House Bill 2, which prevents cities from protecting gay and bisexual people from discrimination, and specifically restricts transgender individuals' rights to use restrooms and other facilities that don’t match their "biological sex."

As PayPal CEO Dan Schulman wrote in a statement: "The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal's mission and culture. As a result, PayPal will not move forward with our planned expansion into Charlotte."

I’ve always defended business against the left, but big business’s ever more extremist left wing promotion of perversion and effort to silence any objection to their agenda has put me right off them.

“...prevents cities from protecting gay and bisexual people from discrimination...”

Oh, yeah? How about PROTECTING ** NORMAL ** people who aren’t freaks from having to share a bathroom with people of a different sex?

My point was that these corporate guys just don’t get the fact that capitalism, which allows them to flourish, has been supported for decades by millions of Conservative voters, who voted that way because the candidates who were upholding capitalism were also upholding traditional values.

The corporatists have now broken the deal. The blue collar union guy and the secretary have little reason to vote for their candidates if they won’t stand up for traditional values.

So let the barbarians storm their gates.

My last use of Pay Pal was yesterday. I won’t do business with known Leftists. There are alternatives to being bullied by these degenerates.

Ceo Schulman trying to force and normalize his satanic belief (faith) and irrational Marxist (unconstitutional) “worldview” onto our children.

He is trying to normalize the irrational, vile “faith” of Ba’al Worship—the old Babylonian religion with baby sacrifices (PP/killing/selling humans) and drinking blood of victims (Pepsi fetal cells/beauty “products”) and children orgies (immigration and normalization of islam— Afghani/Saudi worldview with boy harems and polygamy of Babylon). Forcing the irrational concept of two males sodomizing each other is a “marriage” is insane and unnatural and nihilism and sodomy is the main Rite of Ba’al worship which mocked the Jewish God and reduces Life to Excrement.

They need to create a “culture” where Evil is Good and unnatural, vile, mutilation of the body or insane use of the body (sodomy) is “Good” and “Natural” again.

That is why the CIA controlled MSM is forcing Bruce Jenner in ALL the areas where little children will see this diabolical nihilism as Good and “Normal” which will be embedded in their sub conscience like sodomy is normalized (along with hatred for women) in the little raped boys in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia (Walid Shoebat/troops). It is exactly like the “culture” (religion) in Babylon. Vice creates slavery only and collapses cultures.

Funny he has a “Jewish” name and is trying to destroy a “Christian” worldview, to an ancient Jewish irrational cult “religion” of Ba’al worship. No Right Reason or Natural Law (Logic/Common Sense) allowed in “Just” Law-—LOLOLOLOLOL (BTW, Justice is the Queen of Virtue and HAS to promote “public virtue” only (Justice John Marshall/Montesquieu).

It is all to create a totalitarian state and destroy the worldview which created the most free and creative and just country in the history of the world for the NWO-—where Up is Down and children remain so puerile and irrational that Slavery is Freedom. They need to destroy the Christian Worldview in children because it is the ONLY worldview which created Free Will (choice) and Individualism-—v. socialism (slavery).

A few atheist Jews (reviled by the Orthodox Jews) created the Communist movement to destroy Christianity-—”the God is Dead” movement in the 1800s and institutes to normalize homosexuality to corrupt culture and the moral formation of children to the irrational— to enslave the world for the NWO—where Christian Worldview is wiped off the face of the earth.

For total World slavery, the only Worldview which created Free Will and Individualism (US Constitution) has to be destroyed. That is why they took over the textbooks and forced John Dewey’s curricula because Knowledge and Wisdom had to be erased in the masses in the USA (and Europe-—but Europe alteady had a socialist system by 1908 (top-down control). The USA is the last bastion of Christian Worldview (Free Will and Individual natural rights from God only v. tyranny/socialism/slavery—State is god and dictates and irrational “good and evil’).

The ONLY faith banned using UNCONSTITUTIONAL “Laws” is the Christian faith. ALL other faiths are being supported by TAXPAYER MONEY-—like the Ba’al pagan religion of sodomy and baby sacrifices-—”Rites”. We have to return our “Justice” System to Right Reason according to Natural Law Theory (Laws of Nature and nature’s God). We can’t allow irrational, insanity in a “Just” Law and the promotion of vile, evil behaviors like theft (welfare) and baby-killing and sodomizing others (using humans as a Means to an End is “evil” always (nihilism))

” House Bill 2, which prevents cities from protecting gay and bisexual people from discrimination”

Why not say it protects ordinary people from having their privacy invaded.

My position on the transgender-restroom-usage issue is to let it happen in some places and see how it works out.

PayPal has a right to decide who it chooses to do business with, just as each of us has a right to no longer use PayPal.

How many truly, cut up and rearranged, transgendered people are there? One in 10,000? Nobody would demand that we rework all the rest rooms in the country for the sake of one person in ten thousand who suffered from some mental or emotional discomfort. But this liberal demand has the effect of forcing every single person in the country to rework how they relate to “gender”, as liberals want to define it irrespective of how God already defined it.

First PayPal won't let people use their service to buy a gun (a Constitutionally-protected transaction), and now they don't want to do business in a state that keeps perverted men out of women's bathrooms?

I need to cancel my account, and find some other way to take payments.

That’s the only way to hit em back. They stand to lose more from working conservatives who use the service than from the smaller rainbow population

“”The new law perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture.”

Given that redefining how humans have defined gender for all their past history is now one of the things that is “at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture,” how on earth can I have any relationship with this company?

Do NOT left leftists tell you that “big business” is in the pocket of Republicans.

Big business is crony-capitalist. They seek favors and benefits from our massive government, and they know big government is represented by the progressive-left. So that is where they fall.

This I have come to realize. This is what the Nazis did. This appears to be the standard Modus Operandi for socialist movements.

Corporations only principle is the bottom line.

PayPal has calculated that they would get less protests and headaches from us on the right than the social justice warriors on the left.

Unless they hear from us and feel the pain in their wallets, their decision will be validated.

Corporate America has chosen sides in the Culture Wars, and it ain’t ours.

"Big Anus" gets it's power from Big Media, and it has acquired so much power DUE TO THE CONSTANT HOMOSEXUAL PROPAGANDA MASQUERADING AS ENTERTAINMENT, that now Big Business wants to accommodate it.

The source of their power still remains Liberal controlled entertainment and Liberal controlled News Media.

Until we mash liberal control of media into a bloody pulp, they will still exert this power to criminalize normalcy.
