Y’all can’t drive, and obviously you can’t be trusted with voting either

Hilarious. His diatribe about how everyone's rights will be taken away is held in the same breath as a call to take away everyone's rights.

The hypocrisy is palpable with these people. It's a shame that they hold everyone else back.

That's true... except you forgot that in their eyes, making abortion illegal isn't taking rights away -- it's giving more rights to religious folk to, uh....

Fuck this. I can't do it. They try to spin these bullshit "religious rights" bills so they appear to be granting long-lost equal footing to persecuted Christians; when in reality, it's always all about giving therm the power to take some other -- usually actually persecuted minority -- group's power and rights away.

It's fucking sick. The way the GOP embraces these fundamentalist perversions as the teachings of god and the bible to stand on some phony moral high ground is just pure fucking evil

I'm an Apatheist.

This blatant disregard for secular humanism is against my religious beliefs.

Also, I Roy Moore can put up the Ten Commandments in a government building, why can't I put up a Shrine to Baccus?
What makes his Religion better than mine?

It's about the rights of the baby to them. Let's not be disingenuous on their viewpoints. You can't even begin to discuss it if you can't begin to understand it (even if you don't agree with it).

Didn't they close down most of the DMV's in Alabama where it would be an hour or more for some people to even go to get their drivers license?

Wait....yep that is what they did. http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/01/as_it_turns_out_bentleys_drive.html
