The Republican dominated state legislature of Oklahoma has demonstrated once again that what they fear the most are FACTS. FACTS for most Republican politicians evokes the same disdain as sunlight does for most Vampires; once faced with the facts the bead of truth burn their very shallow insincere white skin. It seems the latest bunch of facts that need to be gone with lie in the curriculum of AP History. It seems if you study AP History you will find that it was George, Benjamin, and Alexander who wrote the Constitution not Paul, Mathew or Peter, you will discover that the South lost the Civil War, and that slavery was very key to the attempted tyranny against the union and was not in fact a good try at Capitalism.
Republican Representative Pete Neilson of Idaho said the following standing in the Idaho Legislative Chamber, “Now, I’m of the understanding that in many cases of rape it does not involve any pregnancy because of the trauma of the incident. That may be true with incest a little bit.” The State rep added, for good measure of course, “trauma makes pregnancies less likely.” No need for doctors or biology lessons, nope this Republican politician relied on his own life’s lesson taught from his good book so the only facts are his fantasies. Rep Neilson has no time for Planned Parenthood because he knows that women really don’t go their for cancer screenings, health checkups, nope they go to that PLACE because most of them have the wrong ideas about rape and incest.
The Republican dominated legislature of Iowa, the guys and gals who are against abortion because they pretend they are pro life, has no time or money to help the homeless raise their kids, no extra cash for pre-school meals and certainly no way they want to pay a living wage for a family to survive, but they do have time to plan a vote on permitting kids to own and handle guns. Facts be damned, kids are people and the 2nd Amendment makes it ‘purty’ clear people have the right to bear arms.
Whether it IS Bernie or Hillary in the White House (which either honestly will make a difference), come on America when we have dozens of Republican led state legislatures and Governors who still think the Earth is 6000 years old, pro life ends once the fetus is born, a flat Earth, Jesus would never destroy the place his Dad built, and slavery was the first legit form of Capitalism, it doesn’t matter who the boss of America will be. Whether it is Bernie or Hillary running this nation, if we still have a Republican group of anarchists as Senators who love to pick and choose pieces of the Constitution as they do their Bible, or Congress People who believe in freedom of religion as long as it is Christianity, usurping freedom from religion, as long as we have a Supreme Court who believes Corporations are people, and money can buy elections, it DOES NOT MATTER if it Bernie or Hillary. The thing is as I see it, this might our last chance at saving even a small speck of democracy before we implode upon ourselves as a nation.
