Evil cares nothing for the earthly laws of mortal men.

You know who a lot of people I know consider really evil, and a bigger threat to them than anyone else?   Overbearing conservative Christians, like you.  Damn near every younger person I know can't stand you guys and think you're ruining their world by fucking up the environment, blocking scientific advancement, empowering racists, and handing all the power over to corporations, while you try to establish a Taliban-like rule over them that takes away their rights.

Sure you really want to spread guns around?   Better be careful.

Always.  I live in Texas and come from a long line of Texicans.  We're not unfamiliar with how to defend ourselves from and deal with criminals here.

I'm also from Texas and have watched the steady decline of the state under Republican "leadership".  Texas hasn't had a decent governor since Ann Richards.  

This article explains the supposed defection certain (Tea Party) members of the GOP from California, which is too regulated for the conservative utopia they envision.  Texas, on the other hand, is mecca...little to no regulation, wide open spaces for dumping toxic waste, and prosperity gospel "christians" by the boatload, thanks to the GOP, whose members never miss an opportunity to take a bribe.


The Starting Line – Unregulated, Unsafe, Unfair – the GOP Vision for California

APRIL 10, 2013 BY DOUG PORTER

One of the favored propaganda ploys of conservative pundits over the past year or so has been the ‘everybody’s leaving California for Texas’ meme. This tale hit its stride with an article in the ultra conserve National Review by former assemblyman Chuck DeVore, who left the Golden State for the Lone Star State after finishing third in the 2010 GOP primary race for US Senate.

“California may be dreaming, but Texas is working” said DeVore, who went on to tell a tale of woe including high taxes, burdensome regulations and a bloated bureaucracy that stood in sharp contrast to the lean, mean Texas machine.

And so it began. Thousands of businesses were fleeing “Taxifornia” for the freedom offered by Rick Perry’s Republican mecca, so we were told. By early in 2013, media accounts of a minor ad buy urging businesses to consider relocation to Texas painted a picture of a grand exodus underway.

Only it wasn’t so. From the Sacramento Bee:

In 2011, 254 businesses either relocated or expanded to other states, but 167,000 new businesses were started. Since October 2011,California has added more jobs than the next 10 states – including Texas – combined, according to the Labor Department. In the past 18 months, California‘s job growth has outpaced Texas by 40 percent.

Today’s report on National Public Radio by Wade Goodwin on the construction industry in Texas paints a sad portrait of the real costs of the GOP’s prosperity paradise.

Wage theft is rampant, with greedy contractors often cheating the 400,000 undocumented construction industry workers out of some or all of their pay. And since everybody’s an ‘independent contractor’, no taxes are paid, no protections are offered and no records are kept. From the NPR story:

“Our estimation is that there’s $1.6 billion being lost in federal income taxes just from Texas alone,” says the Workers Defense Project’s Tzintzun. The report estimates that $7 billion in wages from nearly 400,000 illegally classified construction workers is going unreported in Texas each year, resulting in billions of dollars in revenue lost owing to institutionalized statewide payroll fraud.

…

But working Texas construction is a good way to die while not making a good living. More construction workers die in Texas than in any other state, the WDP-UT study finds. With 10.7 deaths per 100,000 workers in 2010, construction workers in the lightly regulated LoneStar State died at twice the rate as those in California, with a rate of 5.2. That’s compared with theU.S. rate of 8.8 in that same year.

…

1 in every 5 Texas construction workers will require hospitalization because of injuries on the job. Texas is the only state in the nation without mandatory workers’ compensation, meaning hospitals and taxpayers usually end up shouldering the cost when uncovered construction workers are hurt.

This is the same Chuck DeVore that was touted as an expert on California fires and who now serves on the Texas Public Policy Commission.

And her drunken support for loony liberal gun control laws, including her veto of concealed carry, duly passed by the legislature, was one of the big reasons the vast majority of real Texans booted the alcoholic soft-on-crime Richards out of the Governor's mansion after just one term.  And good riddance! She finally left in utter disgrace and moved to New York City where she was more welcome among the loony liberal elite.

So now the loony liberals down in Austin are talking about renaming the town.  I'm not necessarily against that so long as they rename it what they ought to:  LoonyLiberalTown !!  

(I sometimes wonder if we could send a lot of the loony liberal residents of Austin to California?)

Let me guess.  You are from Austin?

Ho HO! My GOD, you are witty to have come up with that! "LoonyLiberalTown"! Ha ha, just think of it! A place, filled with "loony liberals," that was called... *snort!* (wait for it)... LOONYLIBERALTOWN!

Wheeeeeee! It's almost as good at the jokes they used to have on HeeHaw. Oh my oh my. Did you write that yourself? Tell me true. You didn't get, like, help from Mike Huckabee or Dennis Miller or somebody to come up with that, did you? Because, I mean, that is really clever! It's, like, a surprise twist at the end, there, that nobody was expecting!

Thanks for sharing that with us.

I really think this is the highlight of your wittiness! And, probably, your entire life. This is as good as it's ever going to get, everything after this will just be a decline, so, to go out on a high note (because I'd hate for you to go all "fat Elvis" on us and die on a toilet) you should probably fling yourself into a wood-chipper right now.

Wrong...and both sides of my Texas family go back to GGF.

And we're supposed to take this confused (in more ways than one) child seriously?

You realize you posted a copyrighted image, don't you?

Hire a lawyer is my suggestion.

So she likes a lot of colors.  That doesn't make her dumb, it just means she has a lot of choices and likes a whole lot of different things.   I think she's a lot less indecisive when it comes to being shot at.

And we're supposed to take this confused (in more ways than one) child seriously?

And we're supposed to take you seriously when you're continuously babbling like a lunatic about a bearded man in a nightgown who lives in the sky and sends you secret messages, and knows everything and loves everyone but still has to be begged and beseeched to help them?  When you say "I believe the world's governed by a magical ghost because some bronze-age literature written back when people didn't know basic things says so," that pretty much gives everyone license to completely discount any other attempts at "logic" you make, hmmm?   I mean, when you believe that is logical, you could be pretty much tricked into anything.

By the way, nice shot at her sexuality with the "in more ways than one" comment there.  Or maybe you were talking about her mixed ethnicity?   It's always hard to nail down precisely what you fucking bigots mean.

Keep it up.  You are the best advertisement going about why nobody should be a Republican, or even have one for a neighbor.  

"But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." 1 Corinthians 11:15

You're all about "freedom" until somebody wants to do something you don't  approve of, including how they cut their hair.

You'd really like to just make the rules for everybody, wouldn't you?  That's really the big right-wing Christian goal -- instituting your own version of Sharia law, so you can have free-thinking "troublemakers" like Emma Gonzalez exterminated.  It's why you support Trump -- his fascist tendencies get you all wet.

Let me level with ya:  there isn't enough beautiful hair in the world to make you in any way attractive.  Nothing can compensate for that sour, stockyard-stench personality you have.   And 2 out of 3 Corinthians agree on that.

"Keep it up.  You are the best advertisement going about why nobody should be a Republican, or even have one for a neighbor."



    Or even allow them out of their cages.

Ocasio's sum total job experience is being a waitress in a taqueria and a part time bartender in the Bronx.

Yet to loony liberal leftist liberal socialists, that somehow qualifies her to lead our country?

Perhaps she ought to pay off her student loans before deciding she is qualified to represent the people?

You gettin' senile? You started off talking about Emma Gonzalez, and now you're in the middle of Ocasio-Cortez. And yet we're supposedly the loons.

I'm not a huge Ocasio-Cortez fan, honestly. I don't think she's all that bright, but she won't be "leading the country," just representing an area of it, and they chose her so, and so she's what they want. It's how democracy works. But if paying off student loans is a qualifier, I guess you really are a plutocrat, besides just a theocrat. So, nobody but the rich should be running the country, eh?

How fucking snobby are you, anyway?

Anyway, like I said, keep talking. You are a sincerely shitty human being. It comes through in your ideas, and in the uptight, utterly-witless, impacted stick-up-your-ass way you write 'em. With people like you representing 'em, both your right-wing branch of Christianity and your failed form of governance will be extinct in a generation... and that'll be great. You'll do far more damage to your own side than I could ever do, because you have no inkling exactly how detestable you come across. I could not ask for a bigger gift than to have such a dumb, nasty, duplicitous, and insufferably smug and self-righteous piece of work representing your side. I still think you're probably trolling representing a conservative, just to do damage to their side... you're such a caricature of snotty, uptight, self-righteous unhappy, unfunny, uncreative, elitist-snob conservative Christian lunacy it's almost got to be a ham-handed parody, right down to the handle you chose. Hell, you might even be Sasha Baron Cohen. In any case, I've been showing your posts to a friend who's been on the fence about giving up religion, and you're making her want to run as far from it as she can get. She doesn't want to be in any club that's got somebody like you in it. So keep it up! You're providing a service.

Ocasio and Emma Gonzaalez are two peas in a pod. Two loony left fully propagandized liberals with no life experience and a lot of wrong ideas they've allowed others to push into their heads.

Oh my god, the irony! It's so cute that you think that someone like you gets to talk about wrong ideas someone else pushed into their heads!

Whooooo! Lawd, lady, when you put the clown shoes on, you really fill 'em up with Krazy Glue first, don'tcha?

Here's a pattern: Every time there's a mass shooting, you bring up Chicago.

It's not just a pattern, it's a pathology.
