    Man, half of America really doesn’t care what the rest of the world thinks of them anymore, do they? Because this right here? This kinda looks like some ISIS shit.

      It’s not even half. Every time people are surveyed for whether or not they support conservative policies, political stances, etc the highest it tends to get is ~30% of the population are in support. The more extreme the position the smaller the support.

        Yes, but that is if you ask them about the issues. Try asking them about their team… I mean political party

          Seems like we need to ban political parties, put bags on the heads of every politician to disguise them, and rotate in a random citizen chosen from each district for every single vote. Better luck by random choice than a 50/50 coin toss at best and Gerrymandered hell scape at worst.

            Or we could have ranked choice voting so “3rd party candidates” can have a chance and not be seen as “wasted votes that let the wrong lizard win”.

            But that would require the peabrains to actually spend time reading about policies, and might even encourage… different perspectives!! Can’t have that now!

            Much more convenient for them to just soak up whatever bullshit Fox News pumps into their brains and just blindly vote for the Rs. Then they can quickly get back to… Soaking up more shit from Fox News.

        In general, why should I care about what the rest of the world thinks of my country? Why would I care what another individual thinks of me personally? I’m always baffled when someone cares so much what other people think of them.

          I dunno, it just seems hypocritical in this particular instance for your country to have been all up in arms about ISIS only to turn around and do shit that they would applaud. Makes you look… untrustworthy, to the world at large.

          You don’t really understand how soft diplomacy works do you? There are distinct advantages to economic conditions if countries shake hands. If you slap somebody they will find ways to slap you back.

    Ah yes, just like Jesus said in the New Testament…

    And Jesus said to his followers, “screw all the trans teens for they are filth, and murdering them is totally okay. Especially in Oklahoma.” -Bubba the Bigot, 7:12

    Seriously though, these pieces of shit should stop referring to themselves as ‘followers of Christ’. They are disgraces to the human race.

    Oh man has he never read his own state’s Constitution?

    “no inhabitant of the State shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship; and no religious test shall be required for the exercise of civil or political rights.” source

    Also the word “Christ” or “Christian” never shows up in the state Oklahoma Constitution, so I’m not sure where he’s getting his “Christian state” idea from except possibly out of his own ass.

    It goes even further to exclude state money from going to religious purposes:

    “No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion, or for the use, benefit, or support of any priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution as such.” source

      Bold of you to assume he can read. He probably “reads” his state’s constitution the same way he “reads” the bible.

    I love hearing about morality from Christians. They always say if you don’t believe in god then you can have no basis for morality. Then they talk about all the people they want to exterminate for simply living their lives. There’s no hate quite like Christian love.

    The full quote is even more ridiculous:

    We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state — we are a moral state. We want to lower taxes and let people be able to live and work and go to the faith they choose.

      I swear growing up there were all these positive things about our country. But as I continue growing up those positive things started being unmasked and all the ugliness started to become apparent. And trump has brought all that ugliness out of the underbelly into the daylight. It’s depressing.

      This stuff, right here, is why I have distanced myself so hard from the Christian church. They feel like a hate group now, and it’s depressing. None of these people behave the way I was taught to.

      Ah yes… I see. A taxonomic game. This asshat believes Non-binary people aren’t “people” so there’s no hypocrisy there as far as he can see.
