TGHusker Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Based on the 3 posts above by @suh_fan93 it is evident that the GOP has been taken over by fascists and Neanderthals at all levels of govt. Ever wonder how democracies fall? We are seeing it before our very eyes. Opposing voices are silenced, freedoms are diminished, and culture is changed bit by bit. 3 1 1 Link to comment

So lets keep producing assault type weapons for the average person to play with. Quote Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns regarding gun control. As your Senator, I give full consideration to the concerns of the Oklahomans I am honored to serve in Washington. After numerous tragic mass shootings, there have been several renewed calls for gun control legislation. These acts of evil have no place in our country and no American should ever have to live in fear of attending school, a concert, or any type of public event. Like many Oklahomans, I believe that defending the Second Amendment is crucial to ensuring that our rights and freedoms are protected. I believe that every American has the constitutional right to own firearms for recreational and self-defense purposes. Our founding fathers understood the importance of protecting the people's rights to own firearms, and we must not allow these rights to be taken away. I will oppose any legislation that restricts the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. We should remember that the tragic deaths at the hands of unlawful criminals and terrorists are villainous acts, and there is zero tolerance in our country for any harm committed against another. Those responsible for evil should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Restricting the rights of lawful gun owners will not prevent mass violence. Instead of legislating away the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners, we should focus on the root causes of firearm deaths by enforcing our rule of law and addressing the mental health crises in America. I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind should any relevant legislation be brought to the Senate floor. I encourage you to sign up for my weekly emails at mullin.senate.gov/newslettersignup to receive updates on federal issues that impact Oklahomans. Again, thank you for taking the time to write. It's an incredible honor and privilege to serve the communities and families I grew up and worked with my entire life. God bless! Sincerely, Markwayne Mullin United States Senator 1 Link to comment

You should send back a boilerplate response about how you only support reasonable politicians and work actively against those who aren’t. Ask him to sign up for your newslettter, creating a fake link that reveals a “f#&% off” meme. It won’t do any good but it would feel good. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 OPED - Shows the stupidity of the GOP banner wavers - this in the Christian Nationalism movement alt right: This is today's GOP: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/faith-freedom-self-reliance/maga-sacrilege-makes-a-mockery-of-faith Quote Christians worldwide entered into Holy Week on Sunday. Known across Christian denominations as Palm Sunday, the holiday commemorates Jesus’s arrival on a donkey into the city of Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, during which he was arrested by the Jewish authorities for blasphemy and crucified by the Romans for treason. He chose this fate freely because his sacrifice would eternally atone for the sins of man and because his resurrection would fling open the gates of heaven for all, raising human consciousness to previously unimaginable heights and forever altering the course of history. Approximately 2,000 years later, former President Donald Trump landed his gold-plated Boeing 747 in New York City, where he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges related to a hush money payment to a porn star. Outside the courthouse, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has lamentably become a “face” of the Republican -led 118th Congress, joined a mob of diehard supporters of the ex-president in Manhattan to protest what they consider a political persecution (which, of course, it is, but not for the reason they think ). Amid the chaos, she uttered the following to a reporter ( whom she appears to be dating ) from something called Right Side Broadcasting News: Quote “Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. And Jesus! Jesus was arrested and murdered.” That’s right, folks. According to one of the most prominent and influential Republican leaders in America, who professes to be a “God-fearing Christian” and “Christian nationalist,” Trump’s arrest vaults him into the ranks of “the most incredible people in history,” which includes none other than the Son of God. Given Greene’s past comments, it’s tempting to brush off this latest remark as yet another pitiable spasm of stupidity from our least impressive Republican leader. But Christian conservatives have brushed off MAGA-induced sacrilege for far too long. Much like fellow Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) comment from last fall that Jesus should have packed an AR-15 to avoid crucifixion, Greene’s comparison of Trump to Jesus is repugnant and betrays a galling ignorance of Christian belief.

Quote Idolatry has run amok in the MAGA movement, and it demands a resounding repudiation from church leaders. Greene’s comment may have been intended to elevate Trump, but it only served to denigrate our faith. More than ignorant, it makes a mockery of committed Christians who courageously swim against the tide of culture each day and proclaim the Gospel. We have enough hurdles to clear without having to defend this nonsense. Now, of course, Trump’s arrest does indicate selectivity about the application of law among the political elite. It is impossible to believe that other former presidents and their family members haven’t broken the law to at least a similar degree. A vast sea of Clinton corruptions and Biden boondoggles, including Hunter’s as yet unexplained payments from a Chinese Communist Party-affiliated energy company that featured a kick-up to the “big guy,” make this plain. Regardless, I am begging Christian leaders to denounce this comment and distance themselves from fringy figures such as Greene. Whatever usefulness these polarizing figures had is long gone, and their prominence only makes life more difficult for believers. The only thing Trump and Jesus have in common is that they both claim to be omnipotent. But I promise you only one of them is. 2 1 Link to comment
