That’s kind of my point. Dictators aren’t gracious and they don’t follow the law if they don’t want to. The fact that Rs grudgingly allowed the statue to be displayed is all the proof you need that they’re nowhere close to being dictators.
We didn’t beat it because it’s a dead horse. The unelected leaders of our government at the Supreme Court decided it was allowed. What’s the point of bitching about that now? Should the people who believe in separation be in an uproar every year at Christmas? I don’t understand. Am I being scored on this?
Well except the R that didn't allow it and the other R with a non-zero chance of being president paying to defend him.
And according to the actions in this instance it was the Satanists protecting the people from the church. They should be applauded and thanked.
Tell me who vandalized the trashy nativity scene?
How stupid are you? The point is to show Christians how hypocritical they are for their demands to push overt religiosity in public institutions. It's a damned shame how many of them are too fanatical and/or dumb to understand this. They feel entitled to special treatment because they believe they are *the* good people
Who is ok with it? Sure i want them out, but the only display i see the GOP clutching pearls about is the display from the satanic temple and nothing else.
The former R congressional candidate that tore it down.
Fwiw I didn't know much about satanists prior to this situation. I'm considering giving them some money now, so I guess it was more than just trolling?
You mean the guy who was the only Republican to enter the primary in a majority Black state house district and got stomped by 18 percentage points in the general election?
What dumb point are you trying to even make? Since not all Rs are dictators there is no need to worry about any Rs wanting to be dictators?
You singled Cassidy out specifically as an example of Rs wanting to be dictators. He’s not in any position of authority over anyone.
LOL. Never stop being TJ. You’re in here pumping out the lube and offering a hand.
What has Kim done or said since the hired hand from Mississippi came in and enforced his Christian American religion?
That's probably a bit extreme, but I'll say he deserves a fair trial of his peers or a plead deal.
He needs to go to jail and pay a hefty fine! This shit needs to stop right now! Who do these religious zealots think they are? Phuque’m! Let them rot in jail/hell!
No force him to do the Christian thing and make amends. Community Service work under the Satanic Temple’s supervision.
No...this religious RADICAL needs to go to prison, pay a hefty fine and get the hell out of Dodge when done!
I thought you Dems believed that jail should be reserved for violent criminals?
Kinda what I was thinking, pay some restitution, that thing had to be worth like 6 bucks maybe 7 thanks to bidenomics
Intolerance and ignorance lead to the violence (attack against property). Just because it was not a hog shed, corn field, or automobile doesn’t excuse the violence. It’s time to stop coddling these religious nuts and treat them as the criminals they are. They are criminals a they violate the rights guaranteed to all Americans. You can’t choose whose rights your gonna protect and whose rights your gonna destroy.,
Joel's feelin' feisty today. The guy knocked over their little display, which is exactly what they were hoping someone would do. It's not like he firebombed their home office or something. No one was even remotely in danger of being injured. Stop being such a drama queen.
An attack on the First Amebdment is a far cry from a victimless crime, buddy boy. Thousands of Americans have died over the sanctity of our First Amendnent rights!
The thing you dums don't get is the constitution doesn't grant you any rights, it simply restricts the government. The constitution was lived up to when they allowed that abomination to be erected. A private citizen performing vigilante actions is not a first amendment issue.
Nobody’s First Amebdment rights were harmed, buddy boy. This is exactly the response the Satanic Temple was hoping for. Again, they’re not Satanists at all. They don’t even believe in Satan. They use Satanic imagery because they know it evokes a strong response from Christians.
Are you an idiot? The constitution absolutely grants rights.
Absolutely someone’s rights were attacked here! If destruction of one’s icon is not an attack by untimidarion, what is it? I was planning on a Sunday trip to the Capitol to view the display…a family outing and a nice meal….. totally ruined by some red-necked Mississippi ass-hole who through his own ignorance and intolerance ruined my holiday season! Phuque him and his “religious objections”…what about MY rights, TJ? Why can’t U enjoy Christmas as I see fit? Why does some Christian bigot ass wipe have the right to deny me mine?
He doesn’t. That’s why I think he should have to pay a fine and pick up trash for a week.
Republicans around the country are willing to pay his legal bills to get him off the hook. So it is kinda more complicated than a simple fine.
