4. Sorry this is my first

I am a little green here. I was just doing up the supper dishes when it came on. I had a pan in my hand but busting up my own TV did not seem like an option.

7. No problem - just giving a heads up so the mods don't lock it.

This article is significant given he is a sitting governor and one who probably ALL blue Kansans want to get rid of post haste!!!!

3. I suppose

`"US Ambassador for the Freedom of Fundamentalist Christians to Impose Their Beliefs on Everyone" is too long to fit on a name tag or a business card.

5. Freedom for intolerant right-wing, rigid, fascist hypocrites to control everyone in the world. n/t

[dalton99a]

6. Exactly.

8. I bet

they are dancing in the streets in Kansas.

9. I just told my husband-

I told him Brownback was appointed Ambassador, guess what he is ambassador of? He said "Jesus" I just laughed and said "Gawd you are from Kansas"

10. Throws us nearly a BILLION in shortfalls from his ZERO tax rate for Corporations........

11. And Jared pops open the champagne...

12. AP: TRUMP TO NOMINATE GOV. BROWNBACK TO SERVE AS AMBASSADOR

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump will nominate Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback to serve as ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom.

If confirmed by the Senate, he'll run the State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom.

Brownback is a former U.S. senator and representative. The White House says he worked on the issue of religious freedom while in Washington.

Officials in Kansas expect Brownback to step down when he's confirmed, but his office would not immediately discuss future plans Wednesday evening.

Unbelievable! Or is it, considering the Twilight Zone circumstances?

13. Why the hell is there even such a position to fill ?

I am sure brownback will zealously defend the right of muslims to assembly and pray...

14. Religious Fiefdom

Their idea of religious freedom is the same freedom the Grand Inquisitor had during the hundreds of years of the Inquisition (which actually never ended). This present version is just a slightly toned down variation of the past; that is until they can return it to that past of full torture and stake burning.

15. I am both not surprised

And completely appalled. At least Kansas can be happy.

[rurallib]

16. May he do for religion what he has done for Kansas

it would be poetic justice.

[WhiteTara]

22. Amen

[hatrack]

17. So, no one in charge of diplomatic security at State, since the Acting A.S. leaves tomorrow . ..

But they can find a guy for this bullshit position.

[Aristus]

18. Good for him.

Because he's a shitty governor...

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. He will fit right in.

About tomorrow Trump is going to announce that he is an evangelical.

[Botany]

20. Hello 1st amendment?

Is he going to work for Islamic freedoms, Jewish Freedoms, Taoist Freedoms,
Atheist Freedoms, ...... ?

[Solly Mack]

21. It's been like watching the early days of the end.

[haele]

23. So, is he going to go to bat for the Sufis and the Ba'hai? Atheists? Pan-theists?

Nah, like all Evilangelicals, it's the CINO "Missionaries" and bumper-sticker spouting drones that make money for his club buddies he'll stand up for and "protect". Protecting the Profits of Religion.
Even you Jimmy Carter types are the enemy against his "religious freedom" to bully and steal from. For he is one of the god of his own makings' Elect, don'tchaknow.
