...“We … oppose legislation (click here) which makes our nation more democratic in nature,” was how they put it in a bracingly blunt resolution at the state GOP convention in Spokane.
Well now it’s our neighbors over in Idaho, who last weekend had their state Republican convention in Coeur d’Alene. They also approved a bunch of anti-democratic stuff, like a proposal to do away with electing U.S. senators. But where they truly contributed to the national understanding of where things are headed was in their adopted plank titled “Defining Human Personhood.”
A person, the Idaho platform now reads, is any life from the moment of conception, or when sperm joins egg. The “intentional taking of human life” after that point is murder. In this spirit, also opposed is “the destruction of human embryos.”
“We support the criminalization of all murders by abortion within the state’s jurisdiction,” the platform says....
They hate democracy and why?
Come on, why do they hate democracy?
That's right, because they want a unicultural religious basis in violation of the First Amendment to the USA Constitution.
Religion.
The greatest democracy in the world provides complete freedom of choice of religion and now the very people that enjoy that freedom want to destroy it.
AND!
AND!
How are they going to do it?

Gov. Jeff Landry (click here) signed legislation on Wednesday requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in every public classroom in Louisiana, making the state the only one with such a mandate and reigniting the debate over how porous the boundary between church and state should be....

Who is the biggest wacko of them all?
Louisiana District number 2204
District 04
As of 2017, Mike Johnson's district had 169,367 people below poverty. That was 23.2 percent of the population of his district. Not only that, but, 322,263 people of his district were below 185 percent of the poverty level. That is 44.2 percent of his district.
The most common (click here) employment sectors for those who live in Congressional District 4, LA, are Health Care & Social Assistance (47,726 people),...

She profits from a counseling service that equates Gays, not with civil rights, but bestiality and incest. Incest is illegal at least in most of the fifty states. And bestiality? It is considered certifible (click here). It is classified as is coded as 302.89 Other specified paraphilic disorder, zoophilia in the DSM-5.
Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson, (click here) the newly elected Republican Speaker of the House, and his wife, Kelly Johnson, have come under scrutiny due to their shared ultra-conservative Christian beliefs, especially those regarding LGBTQ+ issues and the counseling service Kelly Johnson runs.
HuffPost reports that Kelly Johnson operates Onward Christian Counseling Services, a counseling firm that, in its operational documents, equates homosexuality with bestiality and incest.
The couple has been in the public eye since the late 1990s when they championed Louisiana’s marriage covenant law, aiming to make divorces more challenging to obtain. Their collaborative ventures continue to this day; they co-host a podcast titled Truth Be Told, wherein they discuss social and political issues from a conservative Christian standpoint.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT GOD, IT IS POVERTY!
Let's get this right now, we are also talking about US Senator Bill Cassidy and US Senator John Kennedy.
The service to the impoverished is among the largest part of Louisiana District 4 employment sector!
The people of Louisiana are so ingrained into believing they need to please God, they don't even see the forest for the trees!
This isn't about purification for God. Lord knows the people of Louisiana are some of the most devoted and godly people in the country. This is about poverty folks. Teaching the ten commandments in every school, including public schools if any in Louisiana are still open, isn't going to bring a better outcome to the lives of the people of Louisiana. A strong democratic economy lead by people that can move Louisiana forward is the way out of this mess!
The gender bias in that district can choke a horse.

There is NO leadership in District Four in Louisiana.
There is so called small government in District 4, right?
Wrong!
Government is one of the largest employers in District 4 in Louisiana.
And what does the House Speaker's wife do?

I am sorry folks, but, that is pure unadulterated ignorance and victimization. What is happening to people in Louisiana District 4?
The people this upset about the status quo need to look to better educational and employment opportunities and social engagement outside just church activities. There is a lot wrong in the focus of the GOP in Washington, Idaho, and Louisiana. The current elected officials are reducing the quality of life of people and feeding off their poverty and taxes for employment. They just dig themselves in deeper rather than improving life in their districts and states.
