Texas GOP platform: criminalize gay marriage and ban sodomy, outlaw strip clubs and pornography

 

The Texas Republican Party gives a whole new meaning to the word conservative.

 

The GOP there has voted on a platform that would ban oral and anal sex. It also would give jail sentences to anyone who issues a marriage license to a same-sex couple (even though such licenses are already invalid in the state).

 

“We oppose the legalization of sodomy,” the platform says. “We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.”

 

Religious fundamentalism is bad.

I just want to know how the Texas Republican party can say with a straight face that they want limited government, when their platform literally says that they'd like to expand it up your ass.

Limited economic governance. Extremely high levels of social and individual governance.

No, they want it out of your ass, thank you very much...

Well played sir. Well played indeed.

 

Finally, though I am glad we can get to the important debate on the role of government up your ass. It's time we got to the real issues.

unless it is Christian fundamentalism, then it's completely acceptable.

Sigh.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went to the House floor Thursday night, to warn of a diabolical terrorist plot -- with a 20-30 year timeline.

 

The plot involves arranging for a child to be born in the United States -- then training them in an isolated environment abroad, ready to dispatch them back here to commit violence after a quick two or three decades.

Not very far-fetched considering we have a Kenyan Muslim usurper in office now!

That was one of the funniest ones in a while.

Using a graphic from failblog without permission...now that's a fail.

One of these words doesn't seem to make sense...

"My plans include an underground electric fence, with helicopter stations to respond quickly to breaches of the border."

There's perimeter fences you can bury underground, but I wouldn't call them an "electric" fence.

Really?

 

Gallup had one poll about 6 months ago that showed what you suggest, it got large amounts of press, then their next poll showed things back to just about where they've sat for the last 15 years or so, and it got no press. Almost as if there was some statistical phenomenon going on where if you poll on an issue 100+ times over 20 years, you'll occasionally get polls that show odd trends.

And polls aside, I don't see why Roe v Wade won't be overturned eventually.

Because the Republican Party would end.

Robert Byrd Seriously Ill.

Senator Byrd has passed. RIP.

Senator Byrd, the primary argument for term limits. RIP.

does byrd passing help climate bill at all? Not like a new WV sen. would not try and hurt it...but he wouldn't have near the seniority (OBVZ)

Because the Republican Party would end.

 

Why do you say that?

Why do you say that?

 

The idea is that a large portion of people who would otherwise line up fairly well with Democratic platforms vote Republican because they're one-issue (abortion) voters.

 

 

 

Make sure you get that Bible on the table.
