[Re. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repealed.]
If you wanna have the benefit of being one of those "Protected Class" members (you get benfits and have the Right to claim discrimination), I suggest we all specify that we are "gay", and get it on the record.
Heterosexual White Christians have no protections whatsoever that SPECIFIES they are to be afforded ANYTHING, so maybe it's time we all became "gay" (on paper)?
1/2 /s
Under Obamacare, we can also claim that being a "sex deviate" is a pre-existing condition? LOL
We are now moving into the Greek and Roman Empire-like collapse phase of our Country.

"We are now moving into the Greek and Roman Empire-like collapse phase of our Country."
The only bit of truth in the entire post, but for entirely different reasons.
"Heterosexual White Christians have no protections whatsoever that SPECIFIES they are to be afforded ANYTHING, so maybe it's time we all became "gay" (on paper)? "
Why don't you become niggers instead, then you can collect welfare and smoke weed.
"We are now moving into the Greek and Roman Empire-like collapse phase of our Country."
I agree. The Roman empire collapsed when it installed christianity as the official religion.

Like anyone else, you too are protected against discrimination based on your sexual orientation, race, and religion. That the other folks tend to experience actual discrimination, and you only think you do is not our problem.
Hint: Protecting non-heterosexuals from discrimination is not discriminating against heterosexuals. Protecting non-whites from discrimination is not discriminating against whites. And protecting non-Christians from discrimination is not discriminating against Christians.

Are the homophobes finally coming out of the closet now? Next they'll be saying, "I suggest we all try anal sex to experience first hand how disgusting it really is."
Thank you for the stunning example of white Christian privilege, traditional1. You have succeeded in giving me a headache.
I've heard of many causes for the fall of the Roman Empire, but teh ghey has never been one of them. You should write a paper on that.
The Roman Empire was solidly Christian for the last 100 years or so of its existence.
And as for the Greeks, well, they condoned homosexuality for centuries before they became Christianized. And thoughout those centuries, they were one of the most scientifically, technologically, and artistically advanced cultures in the Ancient World.
Please read a real history book, not one published for the Christian homeschool market.

traditional1 adds: "...but I'm totally not gay, I'm just doing this for...ummm...political...ummm...gains...yeah, that's it! *shifty eyes*"

You get tax free churches, politicians, and a Jesus on every block. What more do you need?
so maybe it's time we all became "gay" (on paper)?
You can be gay on paper if you really want to. Hell, you can even be gay on cardboard or wood if you like. Though I think being gay on velvet would be much more comfortable. Just try not to be gay on tile; tile gets very cold.
Under Obamacare, we can also claim that being a "sex deviate" is a pre-existing condition? LOL
At which point they'll simply say:
"Sir, I don't care about your kinky sexual fantasies and I formally request that you stop telling me about them. It's freaking me out. You have the right to be as weird and crazy sexually as you want to be but it's none of my business and it's not a medical condition. Good day sir."
So, the Greek and Roman empires collapsed due to homosexuality and moral decay rather than a complex interplay of overstretched military power, internal power struggles, strengthened opposition and so on. Ah, the power of anal sex!

Well, in either case 'Murica (fuck yeah!) is on it's way to oblivion.
Poor, poor, persecuted Christians! When are they ever going to have rights? When will they ever be able to practice their religion in the open? When will they ever obtain a position of power?

Except the First Amendment.
The "Protected Class" of citizens are people who need to have their ordinary civil rights specifically protected by legislation because Heterosexual White Christians are a bunch of bigoted hate machines that refuse to allow said "Protected Class" to live their lives unmolested. If you fucks were capable of tolerance and understanding, it wouldn't be necessary to enact such laws. It would just be common sense.

Lemme guess, you'll even let the faggots suck your cock, to solidify the position. Just for political reasons, though...right?

Hm. Okay, I'll bite. When was the last time you were denied rights or discriminated against because you were Christian. Go ahead, say overturning Prop 8. I'll propose a municipal election to turn your house into a meth clinic. See how quick it is before you change your tune on voting on other peoples' rights.

Only if weapon grade stupidity is, too.

Yeah, but I think it has a wee bit more to do with owing so much to China that Washington could easily become New Beijing pretty damn easily.

Well all you homophobes are by definition closet cases, so I don't see the problem. Be Here! Be Queer! Be Out! Be Proud!

Oh, that was happening years before today's repealment of DADT. Just ask Ted Faggard:

Who was it who brought your country into the terrible financial pass it's in today? PROTIP: It happened way before Obama was elected. Who was president before him...?
And who voted for him - twice?
Umm...yeah.
For the record, sexual preference in general is protected, so heterosexuals, like homosexuals, cannot be discriminated against. Race is also a protected class, meaning whites cannot be discriminated against. Religion, too, is protected--need I go on. So yes, on three counts you are protected.
Oh, you wanted a protection for your right to discriminate against other people not of your {race, religion, preference...} Sorry, can't help you there. You get the same rights as everyone else.
In other words, you can be a bigoted asshole all you want, but you don't get to enshrine your bigoted assholery in public policy.
Edit: Should have said sexual preference is protected "where applicable," since there are still places where bigoted assholery wins out.

Of course, the Roman Empire really accelerated its decline when it went all Christian-theocratic and heterosexual-supremacist. Fundies and 'phobes, take warning!
"Heterosexual White Christians have no protections whatsoever "
LOLOLOLOLOLOL..I am a white heterosexual and I have plenty of protections, the only problem is I am an atheist, and therefore the white hetero christians tend to persecute me, some have taken my job from me when they found out I did not share their religion..and one even took my job when he found out I dispised racism.
"I wonder if America needs a Pinochet to straighten things out?"
Says a so called America loving indep conservative...he wants a dictator to take over our country..this is the ramblings of nothing more than a traitor.

The far right and religious right are helping in that far more than anyone else.
We all have protection. I am white and hetero. I am protected. I do not feel discriminated against. Oh wait I am not a Christian, I carry Pagan based beliefs. I forgot. Oh wait. Christians are not discriminated against either. No there is no "protected class". All are considered equal. YOU choose to discriminate against homosexuals. YOU choose to discriminate minorities. That's why they get the protection you bitch about
The government protects all citizens from discrimination on the basis of (among other things) sexual orientation, race and religion. What more could you ask for? Well, you could ask for a brain, so you could understand these things for yourselves, but I doubt you care about such things, seeing as they impede your right to act like a privileged, self-righteous douchebag.
"Heterosexual White Christians have no protections whatsoever that SPECIFIES they are to be afforded ANYTHING..."
The Civil Rights Acts of 1964, 1968 and the Matthew Shephard Act say otherwise.
You know, I actually wish some of these people would pretend to be gay, and "come out" to all of their friends. Then, maybe they would understand what persecution really means, as well as the fact that gays aren't looking for, nor getting any special treatment. I'm not gay, but it disgusts me that they are still the victims of so much discrimination for no good reason.
For the record, you ignorant idiot, the Roman empire collapsed AFTER it became Christian. Homosexuality had fuck-all to do with it. As for the Greeks, the Spartans, who practiced homosexuality with their male charges as a bonding exercise, would have handed you your ass in a fight.
If your country is collapsing, blame the fucking idiot Republicans who have regressed to the level of village idiots and the Christian Right for encouraging the process.
Wow, this is the stupidest thing I've read today. If you claim to be gay to get out of military service, you have to prove it, and heterosexual white Christians are the most priveleged group of people in the country, even today. Shut up.
I've heard fundies like you traditional1 go on about if gays were allowed in the US military, it'd 'become compulsory to have gay sex', etc etc, ad infinitum ad nauseam. So when you say:
"I suggest we all specify that we are "gay", and get it on the record."
Pray that the Liberals etc don't start this kind of campaign:

PROTIP: Be careful what you wish for.
>:D
@ all those who said Christianity caused the collapse of the Roman Empire:
Now now, the Roman Empire fell due to many many complex causes, of which Christianity may well have been only one, and it is impossible to pin the blame for that on any one thing. However, Rome was going to hell long before it became Christian, and nothing could have prevented that. It would have still collapsed had it remained officially pagan.
When you make blanket statements about the reason for the end of ancient empires, you are just as ignorant as the fundies we mock. Please try to do some research in order to actually BE on the moral and intellectual high ground. Thank you.
I would love to be there at the first Freeper 'Pretend' Gay meeting.
"Hey Jimbob, so we're all pretending to be gay for extra rights, yeah?"
"Uh huh."
"But what if Obama's secret brownshrit police find out we're pretending?"
"You better start sucking me off boy."
"Heterosexual White Christians have no protections whatsoever that SPECIFIES they are to be afforded ANYTHING"
Except, you know, centuries of privilege reinforced by reactions not unlike a three-year-old defending the last Freezie-Pop ("It's MINE! MINEMINEMINEMINE! You can't have any!") only with guns and nukes. But we won't count that because it's nothing in the face of people they don't like getting the same rights as them, amirite? Won't somebody think of the heterosexual, white Christians?
PS. You forgot to include "male" and "wealthy."
This is interesting, actually. You know, when the idea of universal rights was totally alien and silly, what everyone did was defend their own privileges. It was complicated and dodgy but totally honest there.
"Oh, we're the peasants on this side of the river, hereditary privilege says we pay less taxes than the people on the other side. It's tradition, you can't change THAT. Fuck you, Louis XIII."
"Hey, we're the rich Jews from western Prussia, what the hell, your majesty, don't go declaring ALL Jews have equal rights, especially those damn easterners, we EARNED those rights! You're cheating us and these random rights won't even stick because there's no foundation for them!"
Now it doesn't officially work that way, but some people are still working in the medieval and early-modern system. The dissonance is giving them trouble, because they're thinking in one system but have to talk in another, and probably don't even realize it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
