The Texas GOP; Now With More Crazy!

Just when you think the Texas GOP can't get any more crazy they somehow find a way to take it to a whole other level.

Texas State Senator Donna Campbell, (obviously a Republican) wants to give businesses the right to fire LGBT employees and not do business with LGBT customers.

Way to go GOP.

All the real problems facing Texas and you guys focus on this. As a Democrat, I thoroughly appreciate you all very quickly pointing out to voters exactly how wrong they were for voting for the GOP in such large numbers.

Texas Democratic Party...this is what we like to call an opportunity. This is the exact kind of fruitcake nutiness that we need to tie GOP candidates to. The Republicans do it all the time. Remember that thing I wrote the other day about not having a message? This is a perfect example of how to leverage one.

Now the best part of this is that Senator Campbell is calling this religious liberty, which is to say that she'd like the ability to discriminate against a class of people because of religous scripture. There was a time when people said that the Bible gave them license to discriminate against Jews and anyone dark-skinned. The dark-skinned passage that was used to justify discrimination in the old days is in Genesis.

Do you people still think the Bible gives you the greenlight to discriminate against dark-skinned people? Wait, don't aswer that. Many of you probably do!

Here's the problem with governing using religion. Number one, who gets to decide what religion is the one we use? Since I'm a minister, can I start some revenue generating initiatives or do I need to go through some kind of tribunal? And what about all the stuff in the bible about not planting crops next to one another, being able to have multiple wives, being able to have slaves, or not cutting your hair, is there a particular order we should do those in or can I pick and choose which ones I follow?

How does that work in your perfect little mega church?

This represents yet another example of the misplaced priorities of the Republican Party. They campaign on the economy and legislate on the bible. The classic bait-and-switch.

Its also completely unnecessary. Guess what, this is Texas. You don't need a reason to fire someone. So that part of the legilsation is stupid. The part about refusing LGBT customers is even more funny. Part of me actually agrees. If a business owner is that much of a pendejo to turn down money because of who the customer has sex with then by all means, who are we to get in the way of their stupidity? We should let social Darwinism take care of those idiots.

Although there is a flaw in their religious logic. (Yes I am aware I used religious and logic in the same sentence) If your religion is that concerned with who your customers sleep with (something Jesus never addresses in the bible except when it comes to adultery), then you might not want to pry too much into the sex lives of your congregation. You never know what skeleton you're going to find there.

Or is that the next step? Do you small government types want to start having people declare their sex acts? Cuz if you do this should be fun! It's like the next logical step for Republicans after the Papers Please laws of Arizona! (Oops I did it again, this time I used logic and Republican in the same sentence. Silly me, bad blogger!)

Gotta love the GOP in Texas. They want government so small it fits in a woman's vagina.

One more question?

Am I the only one that thinks she looks like a closet lesbian?
