Out-Scapegoats
Them All |
|
"In the
ancient game
of
scapegoating
minorities,
what the
right calls
“alternative
facts” are
useful for
politicians
with ill
intent ... Case
in point:
the
eminently
greasy Steve
Smith —
Republican
state
Senator,
immigrant-hater,
and chairman
of the state
Senate
Commerce and
Public
Safety
Committee —
who belches
forth bogus
facts like
he just
swallowed
The Art of
the Deal ...
Smith even
has his own
alternative
Constitution,
which says
whatever he
wants it to
say." |

The Worst
Legislator
In America? |

"Possibly
you've heard
about the
bill pending
in Arizona
that
requires
high school
seniors to
take a
loyalty oath
to god and
country
before they
can receive
a diploma.
Tough shit,
atheists and
anarchists!
The
guttersnipe
who proposed
this POS,
freshman
Rep. Bob
Thorpe from
Flagstaff,
found a few
tea party
clowns to
cosponsor
his
offensive
and
unconstitutional
measure,
which does
zilch to
address our
educational
problems. Of
course Rep. Smith is
one of the
bill's
cosponsors.
Because
Jesus and
freedom!" |

PLEASE NOTE: A "Yes" vote would allow ranch dogs to be neglected or abandoned, killed and tortured. It would allow the owner of a ranch dog to inflict unnecessary injury to the animal and not provide medical attention. |
