It’s A Bag of Fun in Texas
Y’all have heard of our wacky Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. He used to be a rightwing radio jockey but he went downhill and became Gov Lite in Texas.
Dan has the answer to all your problems.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Wednesday night claimed that the root of America’s racial problems was the lack of faith by “the left.”
Speaking after more than a week of demonstrations against the police killing of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis, Patrick tried to pin the nation’s long and deep-rooted racial problems on people not being religious enough ― and more specifically, “the left” not accepting Jesus Christ.
Yes, the religion used to justify slavery, the KKK, misogyny, holy wars, the extermination of Jews, the stockpiling of weapons of war and God only knows what the hell else, is severely lacking in the United States.
Just like the bikers in the shootout at a Spring bar the other night. After 80-100 shots fired, not much else happened. I’m sure they were respectful, religious folk!
1I like to claim that I was born into the nation’s smallest minority — Catholics born in the Deep South (partially but not wholly a joke). You left off hatred of Catholics from your list of Christian values.
Yesterday, I left a comment about Trump praying with the Whore of Babylon. Readers who don’t keep up with Dan Patrick-style religion might have thought I was kidding. I was not.
2No, the problem is that people on the right have diluted the message of the gospel so that they can use it to justify racism, sexism, and nationalism. Jesus himself would not be welcome in the rightwing churches, as if he would even want to be there.
3Grandma @1: Hey, whatever happened with all those Bikers for Jesus that shot up the Chili’s or whatever it was in Waco a few years ago?
Harry @2: Yeah, I missed it. I was wondering what Melania had to do with Babylon? My bad.
4That smile of Patrick’s makes him look like he’s got a set ‘Chiclets’ for teeth!
5Off the wall… no, not that wall.
The 12 labors of Hercules and/or Texas voter registration drives.
– Number 5) Clean the Augean Stables
Thousands of cows lived in these stables belonging to King Augeas. They had not been cleaned in 30 years, but Hercules was told to clean them completely in a single day.

Edit: Texas makes it extremely difficult to conduct voter registration drives, even outside of the pandemic.Texas Democrats plan to create a voter registration army – via Zoom
The state’s restrictive voter registration laws have forced the party to seek imaginative solutions to swell the rolls.

If I recall correctly, the church he’s so proud to be a member of only exists because they split off from a denomination that was anti-slavery.
