Members of Congress are currently considering a bill that threatens to silence the growing support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for Palestinian freedom and human rights, known as B.D.S. This draconian bill, the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, threatens individuals and businesses who actively participate in boycott campaigns in support of Palestinian rights conducted by international governmental organizations with up to 20 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Life for the sake of life means nothing.
Far as I know this hasn't gotten any traction as the saner members of the Republican party know what a shit storm it would bring.Ironbite-what with that whole First Amendment thing they hate so much.

But I don't really have any faith in the federal government on many issues, and this is definitely one of them. Better that this bill be dragged into the limelight so that people can properly see what some of their Congresspeople are trying to pass.
Pardon the interruption, good sir/lady; there are aspects of your behavior that I find quite unbecoming, and I must insist most strenuously that I be permitted to assist in resolving these behaviors through the repeated high-velocity cranial introduction of particularly firm building materials.
GIVE ME KNOWLEDGE OR I WILL PUT A CAP IN YO ASS!
It's not like these BDS guys are ISIS or some shit.They're perfectly within the realm of legality.Why should it be illegal to have an opinion on a specific foreign police issue?
I don't even understand why anyone in Dickerson, Texas would boycott Israel. Like was that really a big thing that was plauging the area or something? Nonetheless, that's so unconstitutional that it hurts.Ironbite-ACLU will have a field day.
