“Thou shalt not travel to Mississippi” demand the governors of Washington, New York, and Vermont. Mississippi’s new legislation is believed to be mean spirited and discriminatory and thus these governors feel it is in their power to limit travel of their own citizenry.
Reminiscent of the big brother behavior of the Mayor of San Fransisco, who made similar demands of city employees banning travel to North Carolina, these governors are overstepping their authority.
The mayoral panties are all twisted up because North Carolina has passed legislation preventing anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay and transgender people thus nullifying a Charlotte ordinance that allowed for transgender bathroom use of the opposite gender.
City workers were banned by the Lee from “non-essential” travel to North Carolina, Truth and Action reports.
The Mississippi legislation is viewed as discriminatory against the LGBT community, yet in actuality it protects all citizens of Mississippi from government over reach by protecting “sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations.”
Citizens of Mississippi who hold religious convictions are given the freedom to exercise their faith without repudiation. Under this legislation, people of faith will be protected if they deny wedding services to same-sex couples. It also allows employers to take their religious beliefs to inform such work place values such as dress code and bathroom or locker access.
The legislation does not remove civil rights from any one group, but strengthens the First Amendment for all.
At Rutgers University’s recent Commencement Speech President Obama suggested that when you hear someone talk about the “Good Old Days” …take it with a Grain of Salt! In other words, BE SKEPTICAL! I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT! The reason why, is that “MODERN TIMES have brought their own set of problems!”
We have had improvement in medicine, nutrition, longevity, but have “VALUES” kept up with technology? In the “Good Old Days” we had COMMON DECENCY and COMMON SENSE!
In the “Good Old Days” we could send our children to school, & not fear they would be victims of sexual abuse by teachers or coaches. Now there are far too many cases of such reported incidents! In the “Good Old Days” virtue & modesty were considered a GOOD thing; today, we have young people sending nude photos of themselves over their cell phone or computer. There was a time, you could be fined or put in jail for owning pornographic material. Today, there is pornography on the Internet for ALL TO SEE, including the YOUNG!
Let us not dismiss the “Good Old Days” & older Americans too easily! Let us HONOR these OLD AMERICANS, who paved the way for the newer generation, despite their many hardships, sacrifices, & lack of modern conveniences! Improvements in technology & science did not translate to improvements in MORAL VALUES or COMMON SENSE, when we hear about talks of the great things of today.
We can take THAT with a GRAIN OF SALT, & even a couple of aspirins to rid us of the many headaches this Modern Era has brought us!!
VOTE TRUMP & ONLY TRUMP – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!
“We the people” have been awakened from a Rip Van Winkle-type sleep. We have long been convinced “all of you” no longer represent “we the people” or care about our greatest gift from the founders…Our Constitution! You represent only YOURSELVES, & the Special Interests that help maintain your power!
We must give thanks to Mitt Romney along with several other powerful wealthy officials who have TRIED to DESTROY the “will of the American citizens.” Who is to blame? We are because we the voters allowed it. The Republican Party should tell Mitt Romney to “go away”, & if any of them want to “keep their jobs” that they should for once listen to “we the people!”
You have been found out, you Establishment Elite! American voters have risen from their sleep, feeling GROUCHY, VERY UNHAPPY, & DISTRUSTING of ALL of you! We elected you, but you ARE NOT representing us! Our BLINDFOLDS are OFF, so TREAD CAREFULLY!
“We the people” want Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America!
Let’s all vacation in Mississippi! We know where the liberals won’t be!
Stop preaching stupidity. Our government cannot ban state to state travel.
Yay fuckem
Good don’t come!!
Stupidity
This is so stupid no one can ban anyone from going anywhere , fucking stupid
Mississippi has more than enough garbage,
It is a way to see who is programed to do whatever someone says and who can think on their own.
