Mike "Christian Sharia" Pence is Scarier than Donald Trump...
“Pence is no Uncle Joe.His record as governor indicates that he
is willing to completely undermine the core values of a free country in
order to impose his own vision of theocratic control.
While
Donald Trump is a bumbling political idiot, Mike Pence is actively
against the people and possibilities that we need to help America to
have a strong future. His career has been built on hateful exclusion,
not intelligent inclusion.
Here are some things that every voter should know about Mike Pence:
- Science and invention helped build America, but Mike Pence is 100% anti-science.
He chooses not to accept the preponderance of evidence that supports
anthropomorphic climate change, and he thinks schools should be required
to teach Christian “creationism” mythology alongside evolution in
science classrooms.
- Mike Pence is anti-environment.
As governor, he has vetoed every piece of environmental regulation that
has crossed his desk. He doesn’t want the EPA to regulate greenhouse
gases, and he does want to open up pretty much every part of our country
to oil and coal companies. No more wildlands under Pence. He is one of
those irresponsible extremists who think that God gave us the world so
we could just use it up, and when it is all used up the second coming
will occur. There is no Biblical basis for this belief.
- Females make up more than half of the American population, but Mike Pence is anti-woman.
He has said the Disney movie “Mulan,” which was based on a centuries
old Chinese poem, was the work of a “mischievous liberal” trying to
groom young children to accept women in combat. “Despite her delicate
features and voice, Disney expects us to believe that Mulan’s ingenuity
and courage were enough to carry her to military success on an equal
basis,” he wrote on his radio show’s website.
- He obsessively pursues a personal vendetta to take Title X funding
away from Planned Parenthood because Planned Parenthood provides
abortion services. Title X money CANNOT be used for abortions. Abortions
are paid for by the recipient or through private, tagged donations.
Taking away Title X will not impact abortion services, but it would
leave thousands of women without access to cancer screenings or birth
control.
- Speaking of birth control, Mike Pence once again revealed his historical ignorance in saying that condoms are “modern” and “liberal.”
He thinks all women should be pregnant unless they can’t afford a baby,
in which case they should abstain from sex, even if they are married.
That’s right: sex is only for procreation in PenceWorld. If you can’t
afford the diapers, then hubby should be sleeping on the couch.
- Mike Pence is also anti-gay,
to the point of denial. He doesn’t want the government to pay for
cancer screenings, but he does want the government to pay for abusive
“conversion therapy” programs that systematically undermine the victim’s
self-esteem, and then indoctrinate them into robotic gender-appropriate
behaviors. He has signed into law a bill that allows discrimination
against LGTBQ customers based on religious belief.
- As governor of Indiana, Mike Pence was personally responsible for an outbreak of AIDS when he refused to allow clean needle exchanges for drug addicts. Instead, he asked people to pray for the addicts.
- Mike Pence is racist.
He thinks there is “too much talk” about institutional racism in law
enforcement because “police officers are human beings.” His solution is
unity through “faith.” The Indiana governor has tried to prevent Syrian
refugees from settling in his state because the “pose a threat to safety
of residents.” Pence argued that his policy was based on fear, not
race, so it wasn’t discriminatory. A Federal Appeals Court dismissed his
racist arguments on October 3, 2016.
- A Federal Court also had to block his bizarre anti-abortion law
that required burial or cremation for fetuses, whether miscarried or
aborted, no matter how far along the pregnancy had progressed.
- Mike Pence is pro-birth, but not pro-life.
He once funneled $3.5M dollars from Temporary Assistance to Needy
Families into programs that counsel against abortion. He wants those
women to have those babies, but he doesn’t care if the kids starve or
live on the streets afterward.
- Mike Pence has refused to comply with federal guidelines aimed at reducing prison rape.
When
you add it all together, you can see that the most dangerous part of
the Trump-Pence ticket is …that calculating quiet man who will be leading the charge from behind. Mike Pence is basically against anyone who is not white, conservative, Christian, and male.
When
Mike Pence was a young lawyer on the rise, he challenged a longtime
Democratic congressman for a seat in a Republican-leaning Indiana
district. He seemed to have it in the bag until voters were stunned to
learn that he had been using political donations to pay personal
expenses including the mortgage on his house, his credit card bill,
groceries, golf tournament fees, and car payments for his wife.”

this is my grasp of how football works: two teams of men want the ball very badly but are incapable of sharing it. one team attempts to deliver the ball to their holy ground while the other attempts to prevent this. occasionally an evil man will appear and speak curses to the men, causing them grief and dishonor
