White Evangelicals, This is Why People Are Through With You
Dear White Evangelicals,
I need to tell you something: People have had it with you.
They’re done.
They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why:
They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy.
For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity.
They watched you deny his personal faith convictions, argue his birthplace, and assail his character—all without cause or evidence. They saw you brandish Scriptures to malign him and use the laziest of racial stereotypes in criticizing him.

Another AR-15 used to commit mass murder. Tell me again how it's not about the guns.
Gunman who killed 4 at Tulsa hospital was patient of doctor who is among the dead
The gunman who killed four people at a Tulsa hospital on Wednesday blamed a doctor at the facility for ongoing pain after back surgery and vowed to kill him and anyone who got in his way, police said Thursday.
Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin told reporters that Michael Louis bought an AR-15-style weapon on the same day as the attack, killing St. Francis Hospital doctors Preston Phillips and Stephanie Husen. Two other victims were identified as William Love, a patient, and Amanda Green, a receptionist.
“We grieve with the families after this senseless tragedy. We grieve with the co-workers,” Franklin said. “And we pray. We pray because we all need prayer.”
On May 19, Louis went into hospital for back surgery, and Phillips was the operating physician, Franklin said. After Louis was released from the hospital on May 24, he “called several times over several days complaining of pain and wanted additional treatment,” according to police.

Use the same terms as 2A: well regulated.
This is an interesting idea. Call it gun regulation instead of gun control.

An intriguing idea: “What if students, parents, and teachers took the next three months to mobilize? They could create thousands of local committees supporting the strike and decide on what the national demand might be—say, an assault-weapon ban.”

Good Morning Nasties. A reminder that a "Well Regulated Militia" does not kill kids. That's the tweet.

Living in the land of the free means 18 year olds can buy AR15s to kill 10 year olds. The rights of the killers are protected in the 2nd Amendment. The little kids are just legally sanctioned target practice. Their lives are a price Republicans are willing to pay.
