Quote:Nope, whatever people choose to involve politics in IS political.

 

I think women's reproductive rights should not be political and there should be no restrictions on a woman's choice or the ability of medical providers to provide for those choices, but those things have been made political anyway.

 

People's rights are very strongly rooted in politics, and this is about the rights of people to be equally protected under the law, not your ability to insulate yourself from issues you don't want to confront.

 

Protecting a child from death is political and one of the sole true functions of legitimate government. Michael Sam being pushed into the league by the league solely because he likes men is unnecessary. If he's good enough he'll make the team, if he's not then the league has to treat him different than other guys who aren't good enough. I know you libs need politics to be your everything, but some of us would just like football to be about football.
