You're a bad man. You're a very bad man!
Irreverent, independent, and often snarky partnered married gay boomer and doggie dad who is tired of moral pontification by hypocritical conservative assholes and hate filled religious bigots.
Based on some recent incidents, let me reiterate: If you are the owner of a photo that appears on this site and wish it removed, you don't need to get all legal and send threatening letters and takedown notices; just email me with the photo's URL or leave a comment on the offending post and I will gladly remove it.
In other words…
Retirement
(That's actual number of calendar days. It's a whole lot less if you remove weekends and holidays. And even less than that if you calculate the actual number of days I have to come into the office!)
Just saw a new bit on MSN's news feed about Speaker Johnson and one of his life influencers that resulted in him becoming a Christian Nationalist. This influencer is the founder of the non-profit Christian organization "Wall Builders". Whose role is to influence legislators to write Christian-oriented laws, with the ultimate goal being all laws being Christian-based. THIS is the man who Johnson give credit for changing his life.
We thought that Paul Ryan being influenced by reading "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, plus a few other high-ranking Republicans of the later 1960s and such, but Wall Builders has been at their "job" since 1988. Seeking to destroy the separation of Church and State. Barton believes that the First Amendment clause about such separation has been mis-interpreted for a long time and needs to be re-written. This is not good as it tends to kind of follow the Federalist Society (who have several members on the Supreme Cout) orientation that if the Constitution does not specifically mention it, it is not constitutionally protected. Which means that all of the policy decisions are and were un-constitutional when passed, therefore invalid. Think about how far THAT would take us back into history?!! No civil rights, no womens' voting, etc. Johnson was a constitutional lawyer, so he claims to know about the constitution and what is in it.
As times progress, the stakes keep getting higher with each time a Republican is elected to office, no matter at what level, but especially at the highest levels.
Note Blue no matter Who!!!!
