These are the kind of “leaders” that the GOP is going to continue to produce based off of the type of conservative voices that are popular. This moron probably listened to the likes of Shapiro, Kirk, Tate, etc. and assumed that that is just how the world works. He’s an immature man child who has no concept of what government employees should actually be doing so he feeds off of reactionary garbage like this. He wants the attention so that when he does inevitably get reprimanded for these things he can cry about being silenced.
Phenomenal. One little hotshot House Representative who thinks that his position entitles him to proselytize without any consideration of the sensibilities or beliefs or LACK of beliefs of his constituents. One might think that Prichard is queuing himself up to be something like Trump, just MORE religiously obnoxious.
The real telling point now will be the response of those he is supposed to represent. What I'm afraid of is that they will mostly agree with him (they DID elect him, after all). However, any voices of protest will be of interest to me, particularly in how Prichard responds (IF he responds). It may be that Annie Laurie Gaylor may have to lean on him again, though my impression is that he doesn't want to get the message.
I've said it multiple times here and elsewhere: because others may believe differently or not at all, a representative of the government has only ONE obligation and 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗪, 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗗. This is a lesson that Prichard needs to learn, and the sooner the better.
Sodomy? Another Christer who gets the Tanakh wrong. Here's what it says about Sodom:
"Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." -- Ezekiel 16:49
Not a word about 'sodomites,' Prick-ard. And that sin is an apt description of conservatives.
Also, here is a pro-hint for anyone else out there, if you are over the age of, let's say 17, worrying about who the homecoming royalty are makes you seem a tad bit pedo. Wanting to see a homecoming queen to the point of which you are suggesting changing state law would suggest that you are a bit too interested in the lives of high school girls.
Why would the Church of Satan want the freedom to worship the same as Christians? Have you ever been to a Christian worship service? It is a boring as fuck. The music sucks. The stories suck. And you have to stand most of the time. And when they do serve booze, it's like a shot glass of cheap wine. No. Don't give me that vanilla shit. Give me a worship service that at least is in need of a safe word.
He is not only dead wrong on every issue, he personifies why mixing religion and government is the same terrible idea it has always been. Those who would break down the barriers between church and state should be imagining a fool like this having control over their lives, as that will definitely be someone's reality.
I sort of feel like someone needs to explain to Rep. Prichard that this isn't Burger King, and he can't have it 'his way, right away' just because he's a Christian.
Looking through some of the Wikipedia references, I'm not surprised he's got a conservative till it hurts then keep going stance. He's also from what I can tell a dyed in the wool Catholic; he certainly went to a Catholic private school. It's a bit hard to be sure, but to me, this guy looks like he's always had things pretty good, and has no idea what others have to go through. I'd guess he sees himself as a 'self-made man', but it sure looks to me like there's a lot of privilege going on.
This guy isn't ready to be a representative. He's not finished growing up yet.
Whether he likes it or not, the Bible is not a history book. We have plenty of information about that time, the beginning of genesis through the four gospels and beyond to refute pretty much all of it as not historical. It’s barely passable as historical fiction. So teaching gay history would never include the Sodom and Gomorrah story as history, but it could be used to teach about the reasons LGBTQ people have been terrorized for centuries. This may not work out the way he thinks it will.
*sigh* Article 6, Clause 3 of the US Constitution, stupid. Is your reading comprehension that bad? And Christians repeatedly demonstrate that they are fakers with regards to their beliefs.
FFRF is a national group, what does calling them out of state even mean? They cover ALL the states. I know that’s the least stupid thing he said, but it’s also the only thing that isn’t factually wrong on it’s face.
I will tell you this right now, and I don't mean this as a kink shame in any way, but I am willing to bet my entire life savings of 5.24 cents and an expired Burger King coupon that this manchild has the largest and most diverse collection of dildos and pocket-pussies in the entire state of North Dakota. I am even willing to bet that he has his own catalog system of inventorying his collection, kind of like the Dewey Decimal Systems, but for dildos. 993.14.12 -- Double headed, hand-carved, late 18th century Dutch Dragon.
When "Internet troll," "religious fanatic" and "elected official" are all the same person. Yikes.

The oath I affirmed to defend the Constitution, it was against *all* enemies, foreign *and domestic*.
Prichard is clearly 'domestic'.

Dudebro for Jesus. What a complete sphincter.

Someone tell him that the flag lapel pin is worn on the left, not the right.
Then again, he probably hates everything on the left.

Remind me again why we even HAVE two Dakotas?
