More conservative lunacy from the Land of Oz

Topeka Capital-Journal 15 Jan 23

Republicans signaled they are interested in giving States Attorney General Kris Kobach power to investigate firms that “conspire to constrain the fossil fuel industry.”

No doubt polluters get a good bang for their contributions.

Kobach, working for trump, alleged then could not find massive voter fraud. But did cash his socialist paycheck.

Kobach, who was ordered by a Judge to get remedial legal training.

The KS State legislature will drag up abortion again after they got their ass kicked at the voting booth last summer

TCJ - 8 Jan 23

A new report indicates 200 priests in Kansas suspected in criminal acts against children. No charges filed, none reported to law enforcement.

“protecting the Catholic Church from scandal seemed to be a universally applied theme within the church and a priority.”

Priests sent to a treatment facility run by the church. Sounds like a Stephen King Novel.

I’m done. For now

I am a life long resident of Texas, and as you probably well know, we have our own special set of problems here. And being old enough to remember when Texas was blue, it is especially heartbreaking to see.

To be voted on by the citizens. For their advantage they put the vote on a primary ballot. They lost 59 to 41 last August. And yet here we go again. And don’t hold priests accountable, move them to a church 50 miles away.

Catholics ignore separation of church and state. Fine, I say do away with it and send out the assessors.

I never have been the brightest bulb in the light fixture, but what I can't wrap my mind around is their insistence on dictating how everyone needs to live their life. Who are they to tell me what to do with my own brief existence here on this little marble in the universe? If you don't believe in abortion, then don't get one; if you don't approve of drag shows, then don't go to one; if a certain book is offensive to you, then don't read it. To me it's not rocket science. Just saying...

I chuckle at the Christian logic that your freedom and my freedom are threats to their religious freedom. Total insanity and I ain’t buying it. You write like a pretty bright light bulb to me.

and it never will until this state comes to its senses.

We have a tiny toe in the door after our Roe vote, if we can keep that momentum and add people we maybe could stop some of this but I doubt it will be done any time soon.

We need to keep talking and making this all known.

BTW, I have read some scathing letters in the papers about Kobach. I really did not think we would be this stupid, it is still so recent what he has done before. Did they just wake up?

I'm too old for this.

Let’s do our best every day and enjoy life everyday. And spend more time for us and what we want. That will make things better, even for them. Let’s grow old together in peace and love. While kicking their asses with the truth just for fun. Love Ya Dear.
