.@RaylaForMA, accepting party endorsement at @massgop convention, tells crowd: “You can’t just sit and say … ‘That’s not so nice.’

“I don’t think it’s nice when they’re telling your 5-year-old that he can go and suck another 5-year-old’s Dick. Do you?” #mapoli

Conservative Catholics want Catholic orthodoxy enshrined in law.

Christian dominionists think God sent Trump to "save" the US as a Christian nation.

The Majority wants majority rule in a Republic that respects minority rights but does not enact minority rule #mapoli #hnpolitics

MP Arizona@AzPetrich

Sooo, an Oklahoma bill would fire teachers for "offending Christian morals" by teaching biology. WTH?
