Seriously!

Okay...just a warning- if you happen to like Sen. Chris Buttars, or if you happen to think conservatives are right no matter what- just ignore this post because a rant is coming that you won't like.

Over the last couple years, the person I have been closest to hating is Christ Buttars. He just drives me insane. I thought for sure the people in his district would not re-elect him, but they are apparently the type of people who vote straight party ticket no matter what. Or, even worse, they agree with him. This is what they were apparently okay with:

-He said in an interview: "Brown v. Board of Education is wrong to begin with." I'm sorry, but I think this ruling is one of the best in our nation's history. I'm sure most people would agree with me.

-We all remember the "black baby" comment from the last session, right? He did apologize, which is great. However, with all the atrides our nation has made there is too much of white=good and black=bad, and his comment just perpetuated that.

-I know our country was founded on Christian ideals. However, we have to realize that our nation is not solely Christian anymore. This last Christmas season, he tried to bring legislation forward that would require companies to use "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays." I don't think Christians should be offended is they are told the latter. I, for one, am not. Our country has many people and therefore many religions.

With all that, he still got re-elected. I guess I'm not too surprised. I don't live in his distrcit specifically, but I live in the same area. However, I was hopeful. And this morning, I was hopeful he would resign in light of his latest scandal, but of course he didn't. He compared gays to radical Muslims in an interview, and then said that gays are America's greatest threat. Are you kidding me? Seriously?!

He also said that gay people have no morals, which is absolutely not true. They just don't have HIS morals....which is okay with me, because I don't either. The picture I have up top clearly shows his hatred for gay people. Just look at how he is looking at this gay woman as she addresses the Senate.

At least he got taken off his post as chair of the Judiciary Committee, which apparently hears many of the bills regarding gay rights. Who knows why he was chair of this committee for so long knowing he had such a negative bias? It says on the S.L. Trib website that he refuses to apologize and disagrees with his removal from the Committee. I, for one, am so glad he has been removed. I'm sure we haven't heard the last from him though. It seems like he has a scandal every couple of months.

Basically, my response to him and all his scandals is "Seriously?!"
