Birth control. I think I read where Viagra is one of the prescriptions they will pay, doesn't add up. That's alright, another place I do not shop in anymore.

Same goes for their big mouths wanting to destroy all public education and services.

'The law of unintended consequences' and 'Nature abhors a vacuum...' and 'Be careful what you ask for' apply in all these instances.

And over the years, I have seen the consequences of wishing for the wrong things.

This is why I am cautious about what I advocate for. When the Republicans are in power, and want more power to do things, I just grin because I know that they will not be in power forever....and sometimes less time than they expect.

Ring wing crazies are totally divorced from reality so can't recognize truth. After all, it's not what they hear on their station of choice, Faux Snooze.

If employers can ignore laws based on their religious preferences we will see a chaotic slew of similar cases.

It will be interesting to see if the SCOTUS has enough foresight to see those consequences....

Most of these people RATIONALIZE their positions.

But this graphic is definitely true. Especially the part about the open-carry advocates. Two black buys with clubs stand around an election booth, and Fox News wants to mobilize the National Guard to deal with them as a public menace. A dozen morons who happen to be white wander through restaurants and shopping malls carrying assault rifles, and the conservative echo chamber labels them 'patriots.' Ditto for gangs of white morons pointing sniper rifles at federal agents in order to defend the 'rights' of some rancher in Nevada to be a freeloader, and to steal public property.
