Emerging Republican Platform Goes Far to the Right
NY Times ^ | 7/12

It also encourages the teaching of the Bible in public schools because, the amendment said, a good understanding of its contents is “indispensable for the development of an educated citizenry.”

Additional provisions included those that promoted state laws to limit which restrooms transgender people could use, nodded to “conversion therapy” for gays by saying that parents should be free to make medical decisions about their children without interference and stated that “natural marriage” between a man and a woman is most likely to result in offspring who do not become drug-addicted or otherwise damaged.

The platform demands that lawmakers use religion as a guide when legislating, stipulating “that man-made law must be consistent with God-given, natural rights.”

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government ...

You were saying?

<You post: “Kids will be studying the Koran in public schools within a year if HRC is elected.”

Some vaccines just haven’t been properly vetted. Flu vaccines are over used and has a percentage of danger. And the DPT vaccine is just dangerous. Unless you want to chance giving your kid autism or worse.

Autism has become epidemic since this vaccine was given to most kids.

Gosh! Parent deciding on whether their kids get medical treatment? What a bizarre and awful idea.

What's the dem platform say? Free sex changes for 10 year olds even if the parents say no?

The NY TIMES trolled with this hit piece and you fell for it. There’s so much more in this country that is wrong but that’s what you’re stuck on? How many years have we been asked to hold our nose and vote for things and people we despised? Hold your nose like we have.

Tangledupblue is an idiot or a troll.

Since Tangledupblue doesn't exist, I'm guessing you meant TangledUpInBlue and intended to ping him or her for a chance to respond.
