Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert has had thoughts again! We last heard from him when he was helpfully trying to get a Ten Commandments monument constructed on the grounds of the Arkansas state capitol, for "historical reasons," because, like, all of our judicial system is based on those ten suggestions. (DUH.) Well, this week, he's pissed off about the fags and fag-adjacents (read: lesbians) who decided, for the 12TH YEAR IN A ROW, to hold the Conway, Arkansas, gay pride parade on a Sunday, because he
This guy is not the problem. He's like an iceberg, we just see and hear from the very tip.It's the assholes who voted this jerk into office we need to concern ourselves with.
Dear Poor Precious Persecuted Christian Jason Rapert:
Despite your vociferous claims to the contrary, Christians do NOT own Sunday, sex, marriage, morals or America. Just cuz your momma called you Sunshine does not mean the universe revolves around you.
Dissent from, disagreement with and challenges to your self-anointed privilege and power over and above everyone else in America does NOT equal Christian persecution. Persecution and persecution-complex are NOT the same.
Persecution is being arrested, segregated, isolated, banned, censored, tortured and even killed by the government for speaking against oppression suffered at the hands of that same government . For details, please see American slavery, Jim Crow laws in America, WWII hero Alan Turing, the Stonewall Uprising and Raif Badawi who's going to be flogged 1,000 times and do 10 years in prison for his crime of speaking out against Saudi Arabia's psychotic theocratic dictatorship.
Claiming that the size of a minority determines their worthiness of human rights, the same rights you were granted and have enjoyed since birth solely due to your skin, gender and geography, is not just greedy, cruel and tyrannical but defies the very foundation upon which this republic was built.
Democracy alone is majority-rule by vote, alone. Our republican Constitution was specifically designed to protect EVERYONE, not just the majority. The Constitution guarantees that if one day Christians become a minority in America, their equality and freedoms will continue to be protected from government oppression just like globally-offensive Westboro Baptist protests are protected speech today.
Lastly, sir, the day when Christians are a minority in America is coming sooner than you think. Sadly, sir, you will continue having zero care, value or empathy for anyone other than yourself until the very moment that day arrives.
Ah, Big Roy. Even its NAME is teh ghey. It's really too bad Versatile only ever built the one - and never finished it. Though someone near my town had a smaller Versatile for a while. I wonder what he did with it? London Pride isn't until next month. Hmm...
There is only one true god, and that god manifests itself in three distinct ways, and yet are all the same entity, but yet you call on each one separately and each have different attributes and... aww fuck it. Nothing about that mess is easy.
You go to Donald Trump's barber?

the same math that believes they won a landslide victory when they got the majority of 20% of possible votes.

Because they are comfortable in the knowledge that no one will challenge or question them. They can say what ever comes to their simple little minds.

that would be one of those millionaire ghey farmers on that one. over a quarter of a mill. easy.
I would say the same for myself, except the main fiber in my Spanx is spandex, and they are a godsend in these days of jersey knit fashion.
Yeah, it's no true Scotsman all the way down.
For comparison, there are about 16 million Southern Baptists in the US, almost all of whom were forced into it by their parents.
So, according to Sen. Rapert, church services that take place on days besides Sunday don't count?
I wonder if this extends to other common religion-soaked events, like weddings and funerals.
Wannabes.
There's at least two in use near our town. I had no idea corn and soybeans were so profitable.

The Republicans don't know anything about republicanism or democracy, for that matter.
