represent Corporate America and that is good for the bottom line. And as usual,these people are on the Booking Rolodex and get the usual Talent Fee to be interviewed. Media is not Liberal by any shape or form. When you find a MSM Exec that favors a liberal point of view,please post that persons name.

and pray in the public spaces. We all know what Jesus had to say about that.

I would call Right Wingers "whitewashed sepulchres," but they're not even whitewashed. They are corrupt through and through.

used to be a sports reporter in Pennsylvania and Houston, TX. He used to run a radio station in Houston which featured right-wing talk radio. His hero is Rush Windbag. He spews fraudulent Christianity and is emblematic of what the national Republican Party has become - a sewer for angry white people.

Children don't pray anymore in schools. Hey, Patrick, I guess that is why God is pissed at the United States and sent us an immoral turd like Trump.

Lt. Governor is the second most powerful political office in the state, the closest analogy might be Mitch McConnell. Unlike Abbott Dan Patrick is not well liked, especially among the business community. A popular Democrat could win this race in 2022, he only won by about 5 points against a little known figure in 2018.

That's why these things happen all the time in secular countries like Sweden, and almost never here!

Other than being 100% wrong, he's completely correct!

They have no qualms about using the gov't to foist their own religious beliefs on the children in public schools without letting the parents decide how they want their children raised.
