Is This the End of Roe v. Wade?

That is generally true, but in recent years has become common for conservatives too. Both camps have become emotional blackmailers and use the following terms in responses to what is intended to be intellectual debate.

racist
homophobe
extremist
anti-Semite
denier (used as a smear, instead of revisionist)
far-right
“like Hitler”
“that’s what’s the Nazis thought/did”
bigot
fascist
“you’re ignorant” (often used in response to someone who is actually well-informed)
hater
incel
misogynist
“that’s like the Middle East” (with mentions of burqas and hijabs)
“who are you/am I to judge?”
“who’s to say what’s normal?”

Conservatives don’t want change? America wouldn’t have existed with that kind of thinking.

When slavery was legal? When women couldn’t vote? When Indians were being forced off their lands and murdered?

I always find the diatribe of Indians being forced off their lands and killed as some Nobel race of peaceful empaths tiresome.

Having a heavy Native American background with my granddad on my moms side being full blooded Cherokee, this line of thinking is academically dishonest and quite frankly insulting.

You mean to tell me that the thousands of Native American tribes didn’t peacefully coexist?

I thought thanksgiving was about natives teaching colonists how to farm with fish carcasses though…

I sympathize with this post. I feel the same way as a Jewish man when someone breaks out with “you’re like Hitler,” “anti-Semite”, “that’s what the Nazis did,” “Jews are only 2% of the population,” and “anti-Semitic canard” when anyone tries to have an intellectual discussion about WWII, Israel, Jewish influence and power, or history involving Jews.

Not counting those chickens yet. Kavanaugh has a weak spine. I woyldnt be surprised to see him end up agreeing with Roberts when the final opinion is released.

If that is cause for genocide, then there would be no humans left on Earth.

This is nonsensical. Because Indians made war amongst themselves, or fought Europeans, it was OK to try and exterminate them all as a matter of public policy? Did we kill all the Germans or Japanese after WW2? We helped rebuild their nations.

I didn’t say that, YOU said that. I feel like I’ve said this to you before… oh, right. I have.

I’ll use smaller words for you next time; try to keep up.

Cherokee? Trails of Tears?

Was that group Conservative or Progressive?
Sure doesn’t ring as a Conservative position.

Isn’t “extermination” one of the core values of the Progressives? (Liberals)

I don’t really think it aligns with either conservative or progressive values from the last several decades.

I think things could have happened differently and had a more favorable outcome. I’d hope either party now could do better than that.

Yet the Progressives proudly shout “extermination” with a different word.

The democrat party voted against allowing women to vote, voted against freeing the slaves, against desegregation

And what word is that?

Are you kidding me? What is the topic?

I’m fine with tangents in this thread, especially considering I’ve gone off on one.

As long as we keep it loosely connected to American jurisprudence, side rants and discussions are allowed.

Abortion isn’t killing a human.we were talking about exterminating entire groups of people.
