acroyearMeet The Texas Republican Party:
The entire document is a blatant statement of bigotry and xenophobia so large you would almost think it was made up by a satirist, but it isn't. It is real. These people really are that fucking nuts.
Especially ironic is the wonderful line "We deplore all discrimination" in the middle of a document that otherwise is full of "american rights are for real americans only" bullshit.
To give them a tiny bit of credit, there's one statement in there that I can really support:
Further, we urge Congress to withhold Supreme Court jurisdiction in cases involving abortion, religious freedom, and the Bill of Rights.Yup, the Texas GOP has decided that we should just trust the lawmakers (i.e., them if they get elected) to just follow the Bill of Rights so closely that there would be no need (nevermind a right) to challenge them if they violate it in any way at all.

We oppose the manner in which alleged vehicle violations are documented and fines levied against individuals without proof of their having been the driver of the offending vehicle and we call for a ban on Red Light Cameras in the State of Texas.Everything else us just full of "we hate everybody but Americans (except Israel, 'cause God says we're supposed to love Israel)" special pleading.
