May he burn in Hell for his many failings. But for this one, he should be provided with an extra hod of brimstone.

Republicans Ignore the Law, and Harass Gays for Being Gay (X-Post from GD)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023413601

Snips:

"Those same “Republicans” who want the government off our backs want that same government to dictate what we do when one of us is on our back. So, they are jailing people for being gay, and never mind what the Supreme Court says. "

"The constitutional rights of gays are being violated (as seen here). The constitutional rights of women are being violated (reproductive matters). The constitutional rights of all Americans are being violated (via the NSA monitoring programs). We are all at risk, people, regardless of skin color, chromosomes, or any other characteristic you might care to consider."

Since Rick Perry, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn don’t care about Texas, Obama does their Job for Them

http://bluntandcranky.a.com/2013/08/05/since-rick-perry-ted-cruz-and-john-cornyn-sg-care-about-texas-obama-does-their-job-for-them/

Snips:
"Since Obama isn’t beholden to these industries, he is free to act: first, he told the regulatory agencies to, well, regulate for a frickin’ change; and he also put the smack on FEMA, making them give West disaster relief.

So, yay for the Prexy and all that. He has done good work here. The real question is: why won’t the “Republican public servants” that Texas keeps electing do that good work themselves?"
