Culture is made up of what we celebrate and what we shame.
“Drag pioneers” should be shamed, not celebrated. Someone at the Texas Historical Commission needs to be fired, and the sign needs to come down.
@LoewyLawFirm@realmitchlittle Literally because they don’t investigate or audit.
I assumed you were talking hypothetically anyway, as I was. And so I reiterate my question.
@LoewyLawFirm@realmitchlittle You’re ok with having voters not have their representatives because someone figured out how to Box 13 the election on an industrial scale?
Join us at 6pm ET today for a livestream with @megbasham & @jonharris1989!
We'll discuss how the upcoming annual meeting is the most important one so far this century - and how conservatives are about to finally win big & stop the woke takeover of America's largest Protestant denomination!

@BerryRazi@edclements@HansFiene Pretty amazing that a mensan can’t understand the point being made here: people are fallible and suffering reveals true character.
Some of the anger I saw from pro-lifers responding to my tweets was essentially, "how dare you insinuate that pro-life people would abort a child with Down Syndrome!"
Guys, I've been in the care of souls business for 18 years now. And when you're in the care of souls business, something you see often is people who have been lifelong, devout Christians completely bail on the faith the SECOND holding to it requires them to suffer.
People who have spent decades faithfully coming to worship will leave forever the second their kids come out to them and tell them they have to choose between holding to the Bible and having a relationship with their kids. People who have always upheld what the church teaches about cohabitation immediately reject it the second their kids start shacking up.
People who lament the evils of divorce will get divorced the second they think they can come out of the situation better off, and they will give you every rationalization for why the words of Jesus don't apply to them. Ask your pastors about this. Dudes will leave their congregations, go to another down the street to another congregation with their mistress on their arm and act like nothing happened, utterly convinced that God supports them in doing so.
People who have thanked you for preaching against the idolatrous nature of youth sports that keeps kids out of church on Sundays will immediately embrace the idol when their kids have the opportunity to join a travel team. And so on.
And yes, when people who have boldly and faithfully stood against the evils of abortion find themselves carrying an unwanted child? They will often employ the very same vile rationalizations that they have condemned fifty trillion times before.
Do people who identify as pro-life have fewer abortion than pro-choicers? Of course. But with love and respect, you are absolutely clueless if you think that a notable percentage of women having abortion weren't pro-life identifying ladies until the moment their desire for abortion overpowered their faith and convinctions.
And, more to the point, if you are offended by this assertion because you know would never in a million billion years ever do this, you are clueless to the power of the sinful nature that lurks within you. If you think you would stand where they fell because you are more pious, more devout, more devoted, etc...well, pride comes before destruction.
I had the same scare with the sonogram and amniocentesis. They wanted to talk “options.” I asked them what they meant, knowing the answer. At that point the functionary would only talk to my then wife. We got a new doctor. Such ghouls are too common.
He’s starting senior year in high school next term. I’d say he’s fine, but he got my sense of humor.
@Enterprise@Byzness You literally did the Seinfeld joke. “You know how to take the reservation. You just don’t know how to hold the reservation.”
Lying to your customers on a core portion of your business is bad practice.
