I'll gladly ride in the back of the bus more leg room !

Oh ***Nazi reference quick someone do something !

"In Snyder v. Phelps (2011), dissenting Justice Samuel Alito likened the protests of the Westboro Baptist Church members to fighting words and of a personal character, and thus not protected speech. The majority disagreed and stated that the protester's speech was not personal but public, and that local laws which can shield funeral attendees from protesters are adequate for protecting those in times of emotional distress."

No we don't. Discrimination is discrimination. Because we haven't crowded people together and herded them into ghettoes doesn't mean discrimination don't exist. The line of reasoning for these types of 'refusals' is EXACTLY the same as when whites across America refused to serve 'colored' folk.

It was *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE then, it's *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE now.

By nipping things in the bud now, we prevent that type of gross inhumanity from happening again.

I'll gladly ride in the back of the bus more leg room !

So it's just fear of what might happened with a hyperbolic comparison. Got it.

That...doesn't help *any* of your points.

Mockingly playing off people's fears of potential abuses, which they've based on historically similar situations? Check.

Yes it does, they carry around signs spouting "***" all over them. People have tried to shut them down and fail because their speech is protected.

I could call you any number of things, you could not have me arrested for them.

All of this over a cake. God damn! I'll buy you a cake if you shut up and move on to more important matters.

Obama's socialistic policies say hello.

In September 1930, as a consequence of the Stennes Revolt in Berlin, Hitler assumed supreme command of the SA as its new Oberster SA-Führer. He sent a personal request to Röhm, asking him to return to serve as the SA's chief of staff. Röhm accepted this offer and began his new assignment on 5 January 1931. He brought radical new ideas to the SA, and appointed several close friends to its senior leadership. Previously, the SA formations were subordinate to the Nazi Party leadership of each Gaue. Röhm established new Gruppe which had no regional Nazi Party oversight. Each Gruppe extended over several regions and was commanded by a SA Gruppenführer who answered only to Röhm or Hitler.

The SA by this time numbered over a million members. Its traditional function of party leader escort had been given to the SS, but it continued its street battles with "Reds" and its attacks on Jews. The SA also attacked or intimidated anyone deemed hostile to the Nazi agenda, including uncooperative editors, professors, politicians, other local officials and businessmen.

Under Röhm, the SA also often took the side of workers in strikes and other labor disputes, attacking strikebreakers and supporting picket lines. SA intimidation contributed to the rise of the Nazis and the violent suppression of left-wing parties during electoral campaigns, but its reputation for street violence and heavy drinking was a hindrance, as was the open homosexuality of Röhm and other SA leaders such as his deputy Edmund Heines. One American journalist later wrote, "[Röhm's] chiefs, men of the rank of Gruppenfuehrer or Obergruppenfuehrer, commanding units of several hundred thousand Storm Troopers, were almost without exception homosexuals." In 1931, the Münchener Post, a Social Democratic newspaper, obtained and published Röhm's letters to a friend discussing his homosexual affairs.

Hitler was aware of Röhm's homosexuality. At this point they were so close that they addressed each other as du (the German familiar form of "you"). No other top Nazi leader enjoyed that privilege, and their close association led to rumors that Hitler himself was homosexual. Röhm was the only Nazi leader who dared to address Hitler by his first name "Adolf" rather than "mein Führer."

As Hitler rose to national power with his appointment as Chancellor in 1933, SA members were appointed auxiliary police and marched into local government offices forcing officials to surrender their authority to the Nazis.

Keep treating socialism like it's a bad thing.

All the happy countries taking care of their citizens say otherwise.

Yes it does, they carry around signs spouting "***" all over them. People have tried to shut them down and fail because their speech is protected.

Go to North Korea if you like it so much.
