    Loretta Lynch Denounces NC Bathroom Bill by Likening It to Jim Crow Laws
    by Josh Feldman

    lynchShortly after the DOJ filed a lawsuit against North Carolina over its bathroom bill, Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke out at a press conference and likened it to similar ways civil rights have been trampled on before.

    "We saw it in the Jim Crow laws that followed the Emancipation Proclamation," Lynch said. "We saw it in the fierce and widespread resistance to Brown v. Board of Education."

    She went on to tear into "bill after bill in state after state taking aim at the LGBT community," which she said is borne out of "fear of the unknown" and a discomfort for change.

    Lynch squared in on North Carolina and said states should not be in the business of "legislating identity" and force transgender people to not be who they are.

    The more I read the inane comments by the clowns in Washington, the more I want to denounce my citizenship as an American. Problem is, there's no better alternative.

    If they are referring to the following hypothetical statement being made

    "I know you currently have a beard and a penis but your birth certificate says otherwise. Please go to the womens bathroom so we can display your folly in no uncertain terms, f....."

    then I understand their reasoning.

    There is NO COMPARISON to what black people went through during Jim Crow. This is an insult to all black people, and the fact that a black woman said it is despicable. As Michael Savage is fond of saying...."Liberalism (progressivism) is a mental disorder".

    If they had gotten rid of that detail then I would have agreed completely.

    I don't understand what you mean. If the detail about Jim Crow laws is what you're talking about, it was in the article. You said you understood their reasoning when I'm saying, there is nothing reasonable about the article, as it compares LGBT bathroom issues to Jim Crow laws.

    It certainly is Catchy. I guess I wasn't mentally prepared for the Falling Away. It's come so quickly, I find myself at a loss for words at some of the perversion those in authority are condoning.

    I think some people just want to be part of whatever topic is being discussed even though they have absolutely nothing significant to contribute. The comment about "understanding the reasoning" behind the idiot remarks by AG Lynch make absolute no sense whatsoever.

    The birth certificate detail. Using current biological sex as a standard would be very different. That would exclude people who dress up and people who simply choose a gender at will.

    You know, I thought of this comment when posting the thread below. The article is basically talking about Christians, but it does talk about how he Bible talks about a particular way of thinking that is "mentally ill."

    http://livingfaithforum.com/forum/sh...ns-1-John-Fenn

    In particular this part, generalizing what he said about Christians to just rejecting sound Biblical teaching in general.

    When he starts outlining the symptoms of an emotionally ill Christian, he starts here saying they reject this teaching. The steps towards emotional or mental illness begin, and are first seen here, with the rejection of common sense and a logical understanding of what it is to walk with Christ and godly relationships. Paul is talking about relationships in these first 2 verses, and people who reject common sense, social skills and wisdom when dealing with others. Strained relationships, or withdrawing from relationships, are the first sign of a person on a path towards emotional or mental illness.

    What most Christians understand as common sense and logical, they take issue with. They have other ideas, other 'voices' telling them to reject such things in favor of their own thoughts on the matter.

    As we will see later, Paul identifies arrogance and stubborness as major traits of someone emotionally ill.

    Romans 1:22, 28
    (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
    (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

    (28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;


    This is an interesting translation...


    Romans 1:28 (28-32) Wuest

    And even as after putting God to the test for the purpose of approving Him should He meet their specifications, and finding that He did not, they disapproved of holding Him in their full and precise knowledge, God gave them up to a mind that would not meet the test for that which a mind was meant, to practice those things which were not becoming or fitting; being filled with every unrighteousness, pernicious evil, avarice, malice, full of envy, murder, wrangling, guile, malicious craftiness; secret slanderers, backbiters; hateful to God, insolent, haughty; swaggerers, inventors of evil things; disobedient to parents, stupid, faithless, without natural affection, merciless; such are those who, knowing the judgment of God that these who practice such things are worthy of death, not only habitually do the same things but also take pleasure in those who practice them.




    .
    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)
