Co-habitation is for Sinners!

Have you ever been fired from your job before? I haven't personally, but I was a manager in a call center a few years back in which I had to do some firing from time to time. One kid who worked for us continually fell asleep at work, so I had to fire him. Another swore at customers on two separate occasions, and we fired him too. It wasn't fun, but I understood it was for the good of the company, and you know, we just can't curse out customers or drift off to sleep when we talk to them.

Debora Hobbs didn't get fired for any of these reasons. Instead, her lifestyle choice was "outed" to those at work, shocking her friends, family, and even her boss to the point where he threatened to fire her and report her living status to authorities, so the law could deal with it. Her crime? She lives with her boyfriend.
Yep - there is a 200 year old law in North Carolina prohibiting such blasphemy, because after all, why the hell would one want to test compatibility with someone one might give the rest of one's life to, by getting an apartment together for a few months to see how it goes (maybe you're trying to prevent the very divorce the Right will ridicule you for in the future). This is the question that Sheriff Carson Smith asked himself before giving her two choices: get married, move out, or I'll fire your ass.

Those liberal Christ-hating bastards over at the ACLU of North Carolina decided to represent the woman for free, but of course that's not surprising. What should get one a mite nervous however, is the thought of someone evoking a 200 year-old law to push his conservative views on you, who happens to carry a gun for the soul purpose of enforcing those same laws. What do they do if you're caught with a bud of weed in your front pocket? Flog your naked body in the town square? Do they still throw you in lakes down there to see whether or not your a witch, can't swim, or both? Oh wait that was liberal Massachusetts.

I bet that's coming next, because that's what these conservative pricks do. They HATE they way you live your life, and they want to get into it as much as they can to make your personal decisions for you, because obviously you're not capable of doing it, you complete fuck up. Who do you think you are, with your fancy pants birth control pills, and your stupid choices, and your free-thinking decisions? That time went to hell with the Clinton presidency. Now the Right is running America, and you better love it or leave it.

In the meantime, add this to the list of the completely fucked logic of those from the conservative group. They want less abortions, but they're going to take away your birth control. They want less divorce, but they're going to take away your ability to live with someone to prevent that from happening. They want to get to heaven, and they want you to get there too, yet they refuse to let you die, yet they support the death penalty if you killed someone, or performed a medical procedure known as abortion, yet they've supported almost every war in our nation's history. Um, does anyone know what these people want? Do you think they know?
