Quote from: Yankguy1 link=topic=55.msg84918#msg84918 date=

As I said earlier, there's little worth in discussing anything with somebody who thinks that a cute phrase from intellectual powerhouse Jonah Goldberg provides a good starting point for such a discussion. But, as always, there are a million forums with people just like you. I suggest you go and post at one of them
Actually the term “ liberal fascist” is spot-on in describing the behavior of democrats. The latest case in point is Nancy Pelosi’s temper tantrum after moderate House democrats joined the GOP minority in passing amendments to House Bills.
Now Pelosi  wants to rig the rules and suppress the minority party’s speech on the House floor.
Prima facie of liberal fascism.

heh!

Notice when a woman expresses a strong position and acts on it, Red calls it a "temper tantrum."  Says a lot. 

Here's a somewhat more balanced look at rule changes proposed...

I suspect "prima facie" is one of those terms Red uses without understanding. Like both "liberal" and "fascism".

Two months old news and not relevant to the Pelosi snit.
She is demanding total adherence to her agenda.

Quote
  As governor of Indiana, Pence signed a “religious freedom” bill that would have allowed LGBTQ discrimination. He refused to lift a ban on needle exchange programs until a preventable HIV outbreak reached epidemic levels. On the website for his 2000 congressional campaign, Pence suggested support for so-called conversion therapy, which is associated with higher suicide risk for LGBTQ youth. During Pence’s tenure as head of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, it ran an article that suggested that women should have to be married to obtain birth control. He published an article urging businesses not to hire gay people, and his congressional website said that "homosexuality is incompatible with military service.”

Pence played a leading role in the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender people from military service, and he serves in an administration that seeks to define transgender Americans out of existence by stripping federal recognition of their gender identity. This is a man whose abhorrence of queer people is so notorious that even President Trump reportedly once joked that Pence “wants to hang them all.” (The White House later denied it.)

Pence has also made it his mission to take down Planned Parenthood, leading the GOP’s war on one of the nation’s largest providers of reproductive and transgender health care.

These are not the actions of a decent man. The fact that Pence does vile, hateful things while well-coiffed and calm doesn’t make him decent; it makes him insidious and dangerous. Respecting each other’s rights and humanity is what makes us civilized — not keeping a civil tone while doing the opposite.

It’s easy to say nice things about Pence when you’re not personally threatened by his agenda. If Biden were being directly attacked in the same way that our community is, I think he would see Pence from a very different vantage point....

-- Cynthia Nixon  in today's Post.

Nope, sorry, could not find a "snit" in there.  Just a procedural change to the Motion to Recommit that helps Democrats know any GOP modifications in advance. 

Quote
Specifically, Democrats are looking at a change that would require Republicans to provide Democrats with the language of their amendment ahead of time so they can have an opportunity to convince fellow Democrats to vote against it.   

Providing details in advance!  What a Snit!  Bitch!
