Roscoe's "group rights" sophistry is simply rationalization for theft and murder.

In September of 2001 "conservative" political commentator Ann Coulter wrote an article in which she said, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

Although I think Ann Coulter is a lunatic she at least has the courage of her convictions to admit her real agenda. Roscoe, on the other hand, prefers to engage in sophistry to conceal his. There can be only one reason Roscoe advocates "group rights" and government school. Government schools would provide an ample supply of potential converts.

Back in June I posed the following question:

Should there be coerced participation in prayer-time at the beginning of each school day? Suppose other children in the class don't ascribe to the same religion. Is that just too bad in your view?

Texasforever answered 'yes.' (link)

All this nonsense about "group rights" and calling people America-haters and Constitution-haters is simply cover for religious fanaticism. It's about using coercive government force to advance a particular religion.

People enlist the coercive force of the state to achieve what they are unable to attain morally in the free-market. When you hear somebody advocate "group rights" or government force to advance their cause it's because they want to sell you something you wouldn't otherwise buy.

Yep, you've pegged the roscoe/tex crowd dead to 'rights'.
They, of course, will never admit their true agenda here. - But lets give them yet another chance to explain their basic principles.
