Steve Smith Uses "Alternative Constitution" To Target Undocumented; President Trump Out-Scapegoats Them All |
|
"In the ancient
game of scapegoating minorities, what the right calls
“alternative facts” are useful for politicians with ill
intent ... Case in point: the eminently greasy
Steve
Smith — Republican state Senator, immigrant-hater, and
chairman of the state Senate Commerce and Public Safety
Committee — who belches forth bogus facts like he just
swallowed The Art of the Deal ... Smith even has his own
alternative Constitution, which says whatever he wants
it to say." |

Could This Arizona Pinhead Be The Worst Legislator In America? |
|
"Possibly
you've heard about the bill pending in Arizona that
requires high school seniors to take a loyalty oath to
god and country before they can receive a diploma. Tough
shit, atheists and anarchists! The guttersnipe who
proposed this POS, freshman Rep.
Bob Thorpe from
Flagstaff, found a few tea party clowns to cosponsor his
offensive and unconstitutional measure, which does zilch
to address our educational problems.
Of course Rep.
Smith is one of the bill's cosponsors. Because Jesus and
freedom!" |
