Rick, honey, gay is here to stay.

And yes, Rick did not listen in Texas history.  Sam Houston did not oppose slavery; he opposed secession.

And Rick was also absent from school the day they taught metaphors.  There is a big ole hairy difference between oppressing people through slavery and then standing up to keep people oppressed. It’s like saying, “Jesus had the courage to feed the hungry so we should be like Jesus by having the courage not to feed the hungry.”

Y’all, this man wants to be the President.  Of the country.  Somebody, please, make him read a book.  Any book.  Mostly, this one.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
