Texas Is Horny For Religion In School
Dan Patrick Has A Hard-On For The Ten Commandments
Texas far-right, Christian-fundamentalist lunatic, Republican Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is lauding two just-passed state Senate bills which mandate the Ten Commandments be prominently displayed in every public school classroom. In addition, Patrick is in a-twitter about the possibility that Texas public schools will be allowed to create times specifically devoted so people can pray or read the Bible or other religious works. I wonder if exorcisms in the lunchroom will be part of this new reality. The bills require the sacred document to be “In a size and typeface that is legible to a person with average vision from anywhere in the classroom in which the poster or framed copy is displayed.”
Bible-thumper Patrick is not alone. An unnamed mom, let’s call her Anonymom, who homeschools her seven kids, came to a school board meeting to spew Christain nonsense because of what she sees happening in the public schools. “My desire is to restore order and morality to the classrooms.” What could she possibly see if she’s home all day trying to keep her seven brats in line and learning? Besides Bible studies, what can Anonymon teach those kids of any value for living in the real world? My prediction is not much. I can only imagine the mischief these kids are getting into. Know-it-all Anonymom said, “We must restore a biblical standard to our educational system.” This desperate request conceivably violates the U.S. Constitution. This level of hysteria only convinces me that her kids are driving—correction—has driven her so crazy that she is begging for Texas to take those brats off her hands so she can resume day drinking. My heart goes out to those poor kids.
Peace…

we will all pull together and face the enemy head on.
This is the agenda : The Conservative Culture War on full display.
When organized religion of the Fundamentalist type , begins to lose popularity , it turns to the government to impose it .
" Christianity " , and its multiple forms, never took off , without being promoted , and dictated by power.
It then inevitably splits , and massive unrest ensues : IE The British Civil War of the 1600s.
King Charles The First , of the official state church & Puritanical Fundamentalist.,Evangelicals Fanatic Oliver Cromwell , of its Parliamentary Faction on the other .
This insane event , led to defeat for the King , his execution, and a decade old , Puritanical Fundamentalist Dictatorship, of Cromwell, who imposed extreme Conservative Fundamentalist religion on the state : Christmas Banned , as a " Pagan Holiday ," compulsory church attendance at a state run house of worship, and religious test for everything; including " Gods own Capitalism ".
Any other form of " Christianity " not approved by the Puritans banned & persecuted.
These epic events have often been overlooked in the history of the Western World.
We all know what creeps the Puritans where in the Colonies !
Witch trials , executions , state religious tests in the Colonies they ran , and forget being a native American, or non - religious .You faced annihilation.
The Founding Fathers of the US ,understood this very recent history to them .
They created the Separation Of Church & State to end this nonsense in their new Republic .
When the Evangelicals got into politics & they where ALWAYS there , but took off with TV Preachers in the 1970s , they first railed against the pushing out of religion in the public sphere.
Southern Conservative Democrats IE Joe Manchin still where relevant , and played around with them in the Bybull Belt too.
As their ambitions grew , and big $ got behind them , to spread uber Capitalism at home & war abroad; they became the Republican Party in full & not just the Bible Belt.
Texas today is passing their theocratic agenda totally.
They expect challenges to all of this in the Courts, so they can eventually go to the Trump packed Supreme Court & get it all codified for the nation.
Beware : WARNING & Refrain ; pay ATTENTION: Organize, register and vote in ALL elections, state , and locals.
These extremists gained control of the Republican Party while people slept in communities across the nation.
You must root them out in your own area !
Vote in big numbers EVERYTIME , or lose EVERYTHING nationally.
