Is the HB2 "Repeal" Bad Legislation?

3/31/2017

 
(Submitted by Rational Thinker)


​​Liberty. The practical meaning of the word is that you don't have to like me or what I choose to do with my property (which includes my body, thoughts, money, business, etc.), you just may not infringe on my rights; you may not dictate to me what I shall and shall not do with my property.* You may not dictate what I eat, what sex I think I am, my religious beliefs, and an almost endless list of other personal, adult decisions I make for and about myself. By extension, neither does the government that represents you.

This newest iteration of the "Bathroom Bill" still protects private citizens from the dictates of local governments as to whom may use their restrooms, changing rooms and showers. This was always the fly in the soup. Charlotte's ordinance dictated to private citizens that they must open their facilities to anyone "identifying" as a particular "gender," regardless of the sex organs they actually have. Some believe the General Assembly should have left the matter to the courts, but as this was a clear, unmitigated violation of private property rights, I don't believe the citizens of Charlotte should be forced to "fight city hall" and incur the huge legal bills that would necessarily generate. Sparring citizens from that was an appropriate and good use of state legislative power. After all, the primary responsibility of elected officials is protect the rights of citizens. That is the standard, not whether you can afford to go to and win in court.

This seems clear but if you disagree I urge you to explain your thinking in the "Comments" section.

*of course we're talking about competent, adult citizens and decisions that don't infringe the rights of others

Mark Steyn Has a Name Idea For School That Ditched "Sexist" Stallion Mascot: How About the "Geldings"?

Clip the testicals off a power, male horse that competes fiercely with other horses and you have a horse with no drive to compete at all. ​The story on PJ Media, reports that a petition on Change.org, asked "What message does this send to our daughters and granddaughters? Our sons and grandsons?" We suspect the message at Frederick Douglass High used to be "Win!" Now is seems more likely that it is "Have fun but don't offend!"

That is the really issue, isn't it? There can and will always be someone offended by virtually everthing. So if "offensiveness" is the standard, then arbiters are required; someone to rule for the crass masses what is acceptable and what is not. Invariably, only that approved by the Left is correct, and that is soul of the plan of PC: Shut down and silence anything that does not conform to the "top-down, iron-fisted" rule of the Left.

MTC Public Announcement – PAYPAL POLITICS

Moore Tea Citizens is neither "pro-transsexual" nor "anti-transsexual." Our personal beliefs—as individual members—about sexual identity and orientation (two separate subjects) run the gamut of possible views. MTC confines its activities to matters of the fundamental American liberty that protects the rights of the individual. "Rights" are those things afforded a person a person by God (or natural law) that do not depend person to provide, and which do not infringe on the rights of others. Where the latter aspect becomes ambiguous, it is up to
