(15,805 posts)"...sponsored by Rep. Kimberly Daniels, a Democrat from Jacksonville who runs a Christian ministry. Daniels cited the then-recent shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, for displaying the religious text, stating God is the light and our schools need light in them like never before.
A Democrat? Jeebus, don't we have better Dems in that state?

(13,107 posts)She is also an idiot if she thinks light will stop mass shootings.
She should stick to her ministry and get out of politics.

I'm sure Pence would like to amend the U.S. Constitution but we'll deal with this insanity if needed. These Dominionists cannot win this battle.

I live here and while we're not ALL assholes, we do seem to be outnumbered.
