Alabama GOP tries to force out College Republican chairwoman for being pro-gay

7 hours ago, TPM reported they won’t kick her out. One of the quotes was:

“Bonnie Sachs, an executive committee member who proposed the rule change, told the AP that steering committee members need to serve “in such a way that we don’t go to the media with an agenda that we may have.”"

Methinks they may have seen this article or others like it.

Indeed. I keep joking that at the rate Virginia keeps dragging its feet, and acting like it’s 2-states (progressive-moderate Northern vs the Bible thumping conservative Rest of the state), I’ll be moving to Maryland right after my son graduates from school.

Not this GOP – today’s GOP are the direct lineal descendants of Jeff Davis and Bob Lee.

Even a broken knife can kill twice a day…

Log Cabin Republicans are protesting but the Tea Party wing is doing its best to keep those opposing opinions from being heard. A friend of mine who was a Log Cabin Republican near Tucson told me a few months ago he got so frustrated he reregistered as a Democrat. So maybe we should encourage other Log Cabin Republicans to jump the party too and at least declare themselves to be independents.

And no Sales Tax.

OK.

Many people are making very optimistic prognostications about the GOP et al. in the next year or two.

What truly substantiates that they are in a nose dive without hope of pulling out? Do the angry old white men, the angry young white men, the angry as spit white women and the angry as Palin young conservatives all over the place really not have a leg to stand on? Are they truly fµ¢ked?

Or are we simply blowing smoke up our collective giggies?

That map graphic should be revised: Delaware, Maryland and (Northern) Virginia have mentally, economically, politically and socially seceded from “the South” a while back.

Uncle Zeke and Aunt Hattie are fictitious distant relatives, but throwing themselves off the Tallahatchie Bridge was a reference to the Bobbie Gentry song, “Ode to Billy Joe.”

Will they stand in the schoolhouse door like George Corley Wallace?

Dont clal for their suicide – just put them in a zoo cage naked. separate the males and females.

Wait until they kill each other as they probably will

Sometimes I think the repubs woship the westboro baptist church Phelps gang

Cheers for DE, not only marriage but protections for trans people.

REpublicans = sold out to the bible belt south who justified slavery as per the bible – southern b aptist / some evangelicals.

The disgrace of america. this is another (virtual) exampe of how some animals eat their young.

And Delaware.

Yes, I think he’s looking at a keyboard map, which can be confusing. If you’re using a PC keyboard, I think it’s just easier to use the “alt” key and type the number of the character you want from the list.

Agreed. They depend on hate. The GOP is a coalition of corporatists who want no government intrusion on business, defense contractors who depend on big government spending for their business, theocrats who want maximum government intrusion in private life, and Tea Partiers who want no functioning government at all (because they think the roads pay themselves). This bunch is a pressure cooker of mutually antagonistic goals, and bigotry is the only lid they can find to put on it. Without that, they’d explode into a cluster of tiny parties too small to get their people elected dog catcher.

FLL is correct, but if you are a visual learner, just google HTML code.

Without the hate they have nothing. They can’t function without their cruel spite, even if it backfires. They lost the Civil War, they lost the culture war, and now they are committing political suicide. Couldn’t happen to nastier group of hateful bigots.

How stupid of the republicons. They’ll force her out. She’ll be bitter. She and some of her friends will leave the republicons. But some will stay, future members of the GOProud group, extreme evangelicals, etc. However what the repubs should do is simply reeducate her. Her first take at getting communist doctrine

uh I mean republicon policies straight, failed. That’s not too surprising as most of them defy logic, don’t appeal to common sense, make use of feelings, half-truths, white sheets, bible thumping and the trickle down learnings from the senior republicons, rather than indisputable facts. Hard for anyone to swallow, let alone remember. Because of the RNC acts, thry could lose this misguided woman.

BEtter, they should send her to a republicon reeducation camp. These were extremely popular dozens of years ago. She could be given a chance to repent. Have that vision of Darwinism exorcised and rhn let the holy spirit flood her. After the flooding, the repubs will teach her to ask for federal aid. They’ll show her how to blame the flooding on the Democrats – if they hadn’t insisted on evolution and your biology professor had not been allowed to teach it, you’d never have needed flooding.

She’ll be taught that her body is a temple for Republiconism. They can use it to teach her to denty rape, after they’ve practiced on her. Tell her she can’t have an abortion, that the baby is a gift from god. And, should she even consider abortion – well there’s that long, thick, cold vaginal probe to face.

She’ll be taught all of the illegal immigrant watch words: greaser, wetback, n*gger, as she learns that they’re all unwelcome and should just self-deport. She’ll be reeducated about weapons, not guns. From pistols to AK-47s, to Glocks, concealed carry, “Firearm Safety” + keep the safety off when you’re walking in black or latino neighborhoods and keep it off when you’re in white neighborhoods when stalking black and latinos passing through there. Then the anti-gay feelings need to be instilled -it will be difficult in this one, since she actually seems to LIKE LGBTQs. She’ll get the “ewww gays are icky, dirty, unclean, diseased, perverts, pedophiles, criminals, sex maniacn, will destroy Western civilization, break up heterosexual marriages. AND BABIES,,OMG,they want to adopt and rear babies, it just makes you want to puke. They’ll indoctrinate the babies into their weird abnormal culture of sex and drugs. A baby needs mom + pop not Adam and Steve.

Their core beliefs must be drilled into her; Screw jobs and screw the muslin Kenyan moran president
Favoritism to big banks ans merchants – Favor them, don’t tax them.Let them take risks and grow outrageously wealth as they trample the middle class while working the lower classes to death. Teach her to detest unions and their members: police, firefighters, teachers, emergency care workers.

Science: CO2 is good for you. HPV causes retardation. Evolution is a THEORY. Science is only important when it is beneficial for the military when it wants billion dollar jets.

Make sure that she learns republicon doublespeak “I was misquoted. THAT WAS TAKEN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT! If you 23,000,000 pepole who signed the petition against what I said are upset, I didn’t mean to upset you (but I still believe what I said. I just won’t takl about it as much anympre.

She’ll get a crash course in republinomics: FREE MARKET!!! REaganomics. Trickle down. What’s good for banks and lother large businesses is good for the people. Social security is dragging us down. Vouchers for everyone.

Education in schools is bad. They either teach too much science and math and confuse the republichildren. Then they get taught about sex, babies, abortions, ewwwwww Gay sex, sexual diseases. Teach you kids at home. Give them proper republicon values.

It’s a huge agenda – rescrambling this one’s brain. But there are great minds there to help her. Rick Perry for her OOOOPS! lessons. Bacnmaniac will teach how CO2 is our friend and that HPV causes mental retardation. “Mr.” Bachmainiac will do her hair and nails and pray and therapize her demons away. Palin will teach geography (Russian and Alaskan with some Arizona thrown in), history (Revere warning the British) and civics (vice president runs the senate). Santorum will be there to do his lecture on gay man with beast and tell us how his marriage is disintegrating since gays started to marry.

Lest you think that this is all work there IS some fun. Palin will take her out clothes shopping and spend a mil or two given to her from the RNC. Reince will be there. SHe’ll be allowed to watch him play golf. He plays golf 10-12 hours per day on business days. He won’t condescend to actually play a round with a woman, but she can watch his form. But it can’t all be fun. Women in the republicon party need to work. So, in addition to her studies, she’ll be expected to clean, change the sheets several times a day (THOSE REPUBS ARE PRETTY RANDY), help cook meals with the latino staff. Then she’ll need to exercise to keep her in perfect shape for campaigning.

If this works, she’ll be a happy republicon, her friends will be loyal and not leave the party and it will be smooth sailing back there in Alabama.

Healthcare: Obabacare is bad, Death panels. Abortions. It’s all socialism and medicine combined.

Have her learn to worship at the assholes of Reagan and the Bushes.

Of course they did, because the anti-American Reichpublican party does not believe in or support freedom.

My my, where do I begin? I’m just an average American guy who grew up in Chicago and lives in Fort Lauderdale… but… but… my maternal grandmother is from a small town in the Deep South. So who knows, I may very well have distant relatives (Uncle Zeke and Aunt Hattie) in a fictitious place that we will call Two Rivers, Mississippi, which we will say is located in Leflore County in the Mississippi Delta (just for fun).

Certain Americablog commenters (no names, of course) may believe that they can inflict harm on their fellow Americans (particularly their LGBT fellow Americans) by forging an alliance between folks such as Uncle Zeke/Aunt Hattie and Mormons in the western portion of the United States. This would be the “second best option.” The preferred option is for freedom of speech in the U.S. to end entirely under a Marxist-Leninist state. This was exemplified in Russia in 1917 by the “Cheka,” created by Lenin, which were the first of a succession of Soviet state security organizations under which many thousands of dissidents, deserters, or other people were arrested, tortured or executed by various Cheka groups. But, of course, this scenario is extremely unlikely in the U.S., given our 237-year-old tradition of electoral democracy. Hence, the “second best option.”

The “second best option” is a pipe dream, doomed to failure. Uncle Zeke and Aunt Hattie are Southern Baptists and believe that Mormons are heretics who are going to hell. Think it through again.

So, if anyone ever wants to propose a change to the platform, they are immediately thrown out of the party – brilliant!

Seriously – how stupid do you have to be to not see the parallels between the modern GOP and the coldest of cold-war Soviet Communists? Alabama stupid, apparently.
