If it were truly easy for the disadvantaged [more likely to vote not-Republican] to get state identification in the United States, state legislatures wouldn't be bombarded with these bills and Republicans would try another suppression tactic. It doesn't have to be difficult to get an ID, mind. Just little loopholes here and there -- sorry, your married name doesn't match your ID -- oh, you want to get an ID and vote on the same day? No such luck. Good luck figuring that out before election day; many states are severely curtailing early voting.

It's obvious that the intent behind these voter ID laws is to suppress just enough voters to tilt elections in the Republicans' favor.
Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

A pure democratic process that involves an unelected religious council culling a list of over a thousand prospective candidates to around five or six before the public can vote.
Quote from: Jordan Duram
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?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

And then, in some cases, disregarding the vote and claiming that <x> won the majority vote.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Maybe they meant "pureed Democracy"? Farsi farce.

To be fair, the U.S. and the UK overthrew Iran's democratically elected leader in 1953 and they installed a Shah. Cries of "Zionism!" aside, Iran's theocratic baggage is not entirely its fault.

Except the Shah, as corrupt and lazy as he was, could have been overthrown for something else than a crazed theocracy, but the high clerics have always been politically and financially powerful and vain fellows, so they channeled the perfectly correct hatred and frustration of the people into a blaze for Allah and Country. Jingoism and Fanaticism combined are powerful propaganda tools when people are hungry, over worked and scared of the police. See Germany, early 20th.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Indeed. Much to most of the Iranian revolutionaries were socialists.



Understanding things is quite a bit beyond the little conservative brain.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

I will point out the guy they replaced the shaw with was an improvement in the same way replacing the bully who beats you and give you a swirly with one who just gives you a wedgie and insults you is an improvement.

Also, Iran's people seem to start to be feeling annoyed by there current government.
