Rarely is the question asked: Is our white people learning? You know how now that he's president-elect, Donald Trump is, in the imagination of some optimists, planning to take much less crazy positions than he did during the campaign? Beyond the question of whether he's capable of planning much at all, it looks like Trump's rumored "moderation" will be just like all those times he "pivoted" toward being presidential -- and about as stable, as far as we can tell. So nobody should be surprised that after we learned the
Again, I will ask Muslims to register in some kind of database right after we require potential domestic terrorists (White Supremist, Sovereign Citizens, Gun Rights Extremists, etc.) to register somewhere.
Unfortunately, that also means there's no paperwork proving you aren't Muslim. ( Just look how many RWNJs still think Obama is. ) This is the sort of thing that would be almost certain to devolve into a witch-hunt. All the fun of McCarthy-ism, with bonus racism thrown in to liven things up, as I suspect most of those so accused would be some variety of non-white ethnicity.
Good idea. The Southern Poverty Law Center is also another good civil rights / anti bigotry organization that deserves our support, and they will especially need it now.
Saw something along these lines elsewhere on the internet: let's all suggest a national registry for guns, and see how they scream about how unconstitutional it is.
Nah, in the South, it was the "one drop" rule. One drop of African blood, and you're black. Seven of your great-grandparents could be white and the eighth black, and you could look as white as Jeff Davis. But that one drop was the Mark of Cain. (See Homer Plessy.)
Of course, many blacks with mixed ancestry were able to "pass" for white--which gave them much more freedom of movement. And at one time it was estimated that about one-third of the "whites" in the South actually had at least one black ancestor. So much for the KKK's precious race "purity."
Anyway, all that's way over the head of these miscreants. One hope is that they're just too stupid and disorganized to ever pull this off. It may even be that the Republican Congress will put a stop to it. But I'm not holding my breath on that last one.
> And that brings us to the final irony here. Kansas cites Dred Scott to bolster its position that the language of the Declaration of Independence could not possibly protect abortion rights. Yet Dred Scott was overturned by the 14th Amendment, whose language, drawn from the Declaration of Independence, protects abortion rights.
Well, we gotta put someone in all the FEMA camps that are still vacant after Jade Helm failed to round up all the "Real Americans" and stuff them there. Remember all that crazy? That was just a prelude. We're in for the real shit now.

Tell them if they can convince George Takei that American concentration camps weren't real, then they're allowed to think so too. But until then, no.
Let's database all the muslins! And maybe lock them up! That'll keep 'em from going terr'ist on us, for sure!
Yes. The Southern Loser Law Center definitely deserves support.
I am Muslim Spartacus!
You see, I couldn't tell from your other post whether you were a rightwing asshole or parodying a rightwing asshole. Poe's Law is funny that way.
But now you've cleared it up, for which I thank you. And bestow upon thee the kiss of the Banhammer of Loving Correction (© and ™ John Scalzi)

Well, let's see, who else ignored the law and suspended their country's constitutions in order to "protect" their citizens . . .

Yes. Yes they have.
Must be all the time spent underwater

Dumber than dumb dumbshits.
Probably, but if there are enough people on their list to check, maybe they wouldn't have enough time to witch-hunt.
