Discussion for article #232670
participants at the steps of the Capitol holding signs with phrases like “Radical Islam is the New Nazi.”
Oh great. Maybe we should send Mike Huckabee down to Texas to calm the situation down.
lemme guess - Victoria Jackson?
I miss the days when we had a Soviet Union and the people who desperately need to find things to be afraid of to bring meaning to their lives had a thing to be afraid of that was at least plausible.
White issued a statement later in the day and said she would “welcome all of my constituents who would like to come and visit our office in the Texas State Capitol.”
Well well well. That’s a totally different tone than the one she took earlier today demanding blood oaths from Muslims saying they’d better renounce Islam and bow down before Israel before she will grace them with her special presence
(and yes, I am snarking on what she actually said but essentially she was making demands on them that I don’t think she does of her other constituents…)
There are asswholes and then there are Texaswholes.
Fearing the imposition of Sharia law in the US, Tex-ass protester implements his own Sharia law by denying free speech.
And then there are whole asses. This lady is one of them there types.
Perhaps we can start a rumor about the growing socialist menace emanating from the vicious Principality of Andorra. We won’t let on that their defense budget is only around 5 bucks a year.
No worries, Ma’am. Texans couldn’t handle the Ramadan fasting. Or imagine anything more sacred happening on Friday than brisket and Shiner and High School Football under the lights. Hmmm…I’m having trouble imagining anything holier than that myself.
“Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas,” she yelled.
She continued later in another explosive diatribe: “We WASPyish folks STOLE Texas from Mexico fair and square and by god, we’re going to keep it.”
My friend in Dallas tells me about the many forwarded emails she gets from her R acquaintances telling her about the Muslim usurper from Kenya who has taken the White House hostage, and it’s what they’ve believed since 2008
Welcome back, Ralph, long time no see.
That was her! If not she has a twin.
This country is fuuuuuuuccccckkkkked up.
No religion should “dominate” anywhere. Not Islam, not Judaism, not Christianity and certainly not redneck Jebus. The 1st amendment is as much about freedom from religion as it is free exercise thereof.
Ummmm… not the whole country zeke…just some whacked out protesters in Texas.
Of course, if I (you know, being atheist and all) interrupted one of her Jesus speeches in exactly that way (but with different words) she’d talk about how Christians were being persecuted and atheists were SOOOOOO fuckin rude and disrespectful and that it was wrong to question anyone’s beliefs.
What’s even funnier is the “by the grace of God” remark. Christians and Muslims believe in the same god!
No, he’s right, it’s the whole country.
So you are saying every last person wants to grab microphines and proceed to act like a brain dead asshat? I would disagree considering that right here at TPM we are among a crowd of posters who are better than that. Yes there are some outliers but in the main we are not like that lady in the article so i submit that the whole country is better than you think.
