You are being badly misled by believing that godless courts will help you or stand up for you.

Are you serious? No one with any understanding of what is going on would expect redress from the courts - not after the USSC gay marriage decision.

But giving up, rolling over and refusing to fight is inexcusable.

Those are not conservative issues. They are religious issues.

Once again your antipathy towards Christianity is evident, as well as your determination to dissociate conservatism from social issues.

“It already is illegal to expose oneself regardless of the gender.” Not anymore. Not in a women’s restroom or shower etc... And if someone complains about a naked man in a women’s/girl’s shower, say at a public pool, the complainer is the criminal.

This is precisely the Pandora's Box that we have now opened.

You think I’m a rube who’s being played? Decade after decade I’ve been told these type of social/value issues don’t matter. The name of the game is always to surrender. And what did it all add up to? My country is now gone. It’s become a sick puke-fest of a nation, wallowing in its depravity, and I can no longer feel any allegiance nor patriotism towards it.

Elections are meaningless when there’s no country left to fight for. And that’s where I now find myself, all because of decades of this kind of surrender, which you advocate.

What do I care what bathroom someone wants to use. I have, on more than one occasion, gone in the bushes.

What do you care if men expose themselves to girls in the shower room? Your callous attitude is despicable, and will indeed lead to girls and women doing their business in the bushes because they can no longer safely use the women's room.

This just invents another wedge issue to divide the American people with manufactured, false issues

Are you serious?? False issues?? Apparently protecting girls and women from predators matters little to you. Hopefully there are many others who will stand up and protect their womenfolk.

You lose because you focus on the branch, not the tree or the forest. You would think after decades you would realize it isn’t working.

No, it is you who are wrong. The GOP took a moral stance on a political issue.

LOL So the GOP "took a moral stance" but was not addressing a moral issue?

Wow, that was a wonderful outburst. It makes me think the issue comes close to your heart. But I think you were the diddler, not the diddlee.

Do you really think I would have access to a computer and keyboard after my arrest?
If it happens and I have access, I will certainly let you know.

My antipathy is not towards Christians. It is towards your bastardization of the religion into some cult that feels they need to foist your view of the world on everyone.

You guys are no better for this country than the Neocons and the GOPe.

The Constitution freed me from being bound to your version of religion.

Typical liberal tactic. Attacking and trying to silence conservatives for "foisting their views" on everyone, while all the time arguing for your own viewpoint.

You are so poorly informed it makes me weep that your votes as much as educated folk.

Truly a sentence created by "educated folk."

No, I was neither, but I ran into a few of them. I asked questions. Others comments and posts have confirmed by hunches.

Maybe you should let a few babysit your kids. I know better.

They are not “born that way”.

Hey, I don’t care if you let transvestite pygmies piss in your toilets.

The point is that you and your ilk are making this a national issue.

Anyway, I thought you guys just beat them up and dragged them out of town. Or, do you just toss them off buildings?

I can just see you watching ISIS fag toss videos and saying, “Yeah...that’s a good one....”

Yeah, I forgot that My bad.

Wow, you don't see that too often here.

But xzins is right. There were plenty of laws on the books that prohibited men from using the little girls rooms. The liberal enclave Charlotte NC passed a law that nullified all the state laws, so the State simply passed a law that prohibited the cities and counties from acting illegally and overturning state law by their own decrees.

What NC did was necessary in order to preserve the laws that have been on the books for hundreds of years.

People keep saying that, but public bathrooms didn't exist before the 30s. Everyone used to use chamber pots or outhouses that we generally not segregated by sex. Frankly I'd much prefer a return to single stall bathrooms instead of public ones.

I concur: It is a distraction at a critical time.
Understand me: I signed the boycott of Target, though I used to shop there. I intend to do more as a private citizen. That is what is needed: the private sector hurting these businesses via the free market.
I care deeply for the safety of little girls, but I also care for the nation as a whole. If we do not focus on the national level on saving the Republic from the globalists, then any short-term victory on something as specific as the bathroom issue will be short lived, and will be lost along with the entire nation.

Cities are not separate sovereigns from the state. They are a creation of the state and subservient to it. Charlotte attempted to pass a law that nullfied state law. That was an illegal law. The Legislature had to put them back into line.
