And with Kansas losing so much lately, I’ve gotten to eat quite a bit of it.  Keep up the !@#$ty basketball, jayhawks!  Woohoo!

vgmgc replied to your post: In the knowledge that Kansas will very soon pass a bill that explicitly legalizes discrimination against gay and lesbian people in housing and employment, I have to wonder…

Are there a lot of LGBT republicans? I mean, I know there are at least some, but I assumed they were few and far between…

I don’t think there’s any way of knowing how many there are, but one would hope that laws such as this one demonstrate to them what the Republican Party is truly about: jesus freakiness and socializing corporate losses.

Apparently, this person complained that a nude sculpture in Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is ‘obscene’.

One hopes she never takes a trip to Europe…

When Kansas Republicans bitch about people speaking honestly on their abortion voting record, one has to wonder why they’re so angry about the negative publicity.

Seriously.

These are the dumb fucks that tried to ban abortion by regulating the dimensions of janitor’s closets, as if that has anything to do with women’s health.  And they’re pushing fetal pain bills despite the fact that the American Medical Association and RCOG have called bullshit on their baseless beliefs. Not to mention their most recent outrage: trying to make it legal for doctors to lie to their patients about health risks to persuade them against choosing abortion.

And these bastards still haven’t delivered any meaningful economic or job legislation, which really, really pisses me off.

This is why I should not read comment threads that are frequented by Kansans. The heartless bastards commenting in support of Brownback’s new food stamp rules almost certainly do not represent all of Kansas, but it’s heard to imagine, considering they elected that evil son-of-a-bitch.

I can’t imagine anyone thinking it’s cool to starve children for political points, but there are at least fifteen internet tough guys who are perfectly cool with that.  These are people who’ve never fostered or adopted a child, even though they want everyone else to.  They’ve never seen a bone-thin three year old so traumatized by hunger that even after months of regular meals, she still hides food in her bedroom because she’s afraid that she won’t get another meal.

How is this in any way ‘conservative’?

And are we really THIS hateful to do this to thousands of Kansas children?

On a whim, I decided to interrupt my football game and take a look at the KC Star, and I really wish I hadn’t. I saw this atrocious gem:

At a time when Gov. Sam Brownback has vowed to reduce child poverty, the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services — a state agency the governor controls — made a policy change that eliminated food stamps for hundreds of low-income U.S. children whose parents are illegal immigrants. For more households, benefits were reduced.

This is why you so-called ‘Pro-Life’ people do not deserve to call yourselves pro-life. 

Do you really think it’s cool for Republicans to give handouts to their golf buddies and literally take food out of the mouths of kids?

I don’t care if someone’s parents jumped the border.  That is their crime.  Their children have committed no crime, and deserve the full benefits that US citizen should receive, including food stamps.  Their parents’ crimes do not give the state a license to starve them into relocating. What’s even worse is Brownback didn’t stop there, though, he’s unilaterally reducing benefits for all low-income households.

The moral of the story is… if they call themselves ‘pro-life’, Christian, and ‘fiscal conservative’ in Kansas, they are fucking lying to you.
