I'm glad these lawmakers are focusing on sodomy when thousands of people have been poisoned in Flint. These bigots are destroying America.

Amazingly, both houses of the state legislature are firmly in GOP hands. And they are all oh so holy. The state GOP is basically run by the DeVoss family, who own AmWay, and the entire city of Grand Rapids, and remember Black Water? That was DeVoss family too.

They are, like the bulk of southwestern Michigan, Calvinists, the Dutch Reformed Church is centered there. Except there is nothing reformed about them. They are utter looney toons. Worse yet, the are predestinationalists. In other words, god has already decided who goes to heaven and who goes to hell and no amount of good deeds will save your sorry ass. That's Calvinism! And they own Grand Rapids, and AmWay, and the state GOP.

That is why they can pass an anti-sodomy bill in the state senate. The scary thing is that it might likely pass in the state house and that our idiot governor "lead bottom" may actually sign the fucking bill.

We'll see.

SCOTUS ruled they violate the 14th amendment.

That's a lot of heavy lifting to promote an anti-Bernie/Pro-Clinton website non-stop, but hey, whatever turns you on.
