Miller is running as an independent because, she says, “I belong to Jesus Christ.”

Anything for Liberty is meant to be supporting of everyone being able to have their own views and access to different ideas, discussion, and experiences.

Ooooh, they're just using "liberty" as a mask for trying to make free people lose their rights and start doing what the Moms want them too. Yes, very liberal /s.

Like countries named democtratic something something

The liberty to harass and keep others down, without consequence

Christ anyone that dumb should be banned from ever being in public office. Woke indoctrination? You mean normal schooling where kids learn about things? I wish these fucking idiots would fuck off and die so the world could be a better place.

I truly believe that anyone running for office should be able to pass a standardized history, economics, and sociology test. Nothing hard, just the basics.

[–] Wogi 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Should be able to but actual implementation of that gets hairy fast.

It's one of those things that doesn't stand up to polarization. It works fine in a functional democracy, but it's hard to call the US functional anymore.

Yeah, the cons would be slipping things like biblical horseshit and Intelligent Design (lol) into the test.

[–] CharlesDarwin 3 points 3 weeks ago

Same. But these are the same politically correct [1] douchnozzles that want to bring prayer back to schools, want to make kids say the pledge with the amended "under [their] gawd" thing in there, and constantly agitate against teaching of things like the fundamentals of biology (meaning, yes, little Billy learns about EVOLUTION).

[1] the actual kind of political correctness, not the stuff they whine about

Awhile back I was at an event where I happened to sit next to a Moms for Liberty chapter leader, and she turned to me and uttered the most insane conspiracy theory I'd ever heard about how "they" deliberately sunk the Titanic because everyone who opposed the creation of the fed was on board.

[–] Linkerbaan 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Jack could have easily shared the door with Rose. The was no reason he should have died except for him not supporting the creation of the fed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rose was secretly in bed with the deep state.

[–] slingstone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Don't worry: JFK, Jr. will be pulling into New York harbor any day now on the newly raised Titanic, to proclaim the reign of god-king Trump, and the woke crowd is going to be screwed.

Is she the one who was having Gay Threesomes with her Rapist husband? Family Values!

[–] CharlesDarwin 3 points 3 weeks ago

Moms For Fascism.

This is why no Republican should ever be permitted into office.

[–] TheBigBrother 0 points 3 weeks ago

Moms for Liberty like as in American Freedom..
