Oh good grief. The bastard needs a good beating.

I would never post advocating violence. However, if I were on the jury for someone who administered justice to that evil bully, I would celebrate the blow for freedom and vote appropriately.

So what is the political process for the new commissioner — the old one can’t be discharged or fired? Does the new one get appointed by the SoS?

That I don’t know. I hope to see a civil rights action from the Trump Administration. Sweet Cakes was victimized by a serious violation of federal law.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242

18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States . . . shall be fined under this title or . . . imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Whatever the process is, and whenever it takes place, it will be far too slow. Instead, I would love to see Attorney General Ted Cruz direct his enthusiasm for justice toward every single government official who participated in the persecution of the Kleins. Since that is a serious crime, I’d like to see the predatory lesbians prosecuted for conspiracy to commit a hate crime. Scorched earth - leave none of the bullies unscathed in this or any other persecution of Christians in the United States.

That could be interesting, and certainly Mike Pence would be like lemme at um, lemme at um.

If this is about actual CHRISTIAN things (as in the power of JESUS) and not just so called cultural/social Christianity, the time will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be worth the wait.

Wow.

Actually, I am. As reprehensible as this bully is, I don't see a point in a temporary solution like a beat down. Sure, it would make all decent people smile, but it would not solve the problem. At the level of evil he has demonstrated, and the level of damage he has inflicted on innocent people through his abuse of government power, I prefer permanent solutions.

Brad Avakian is one of the most insolent, abusive, vindictive government petty-tyrants in this whole Obama-nation. He uses every shred of his power to punish ordinary innocent people who don't agree with hem. Punish them? Ruin them.

I hope that what goes round, keeps comin' round over and over for him.

That's all I can say on this site without the risk of being banned.

Voters in Oregon elected the first Republican to statewide office in 14 years, Dennis Richardson as Secretary of State:

In the state of Oregon, the secretary of state is charged with auditing public accounts, managing elections, and administering public records. It’s a glorified administrative role . . . .

Throughout the campaign, [Brad] Avakian highlighted [Dennis] Richardson’s anti-abortion stance while highlighting his own environmentalism and pro-choice bona fides. Richardson, meanwhile, while undeniably a social conservative, ran as basically a numbers guy. . . . In an overwhelmingly Democratic state, Avakian managed to lose to Republican Dennis Richardson. Indeed, Richardson’s victory was the first time a Republican had won a statewide office in Oregon for fourteen years. (Hillary Clinton carried the state by ten percentage points, by the way.)

Avakian’s defeat is synecdoche for everything the Democrats did wrong this year. He ran, basically, the Lena Dunham race: Stress social issues (truly irrelevant in a race like Oregon secretary of state) and ignore what mattered to voters. Dennis Richardson stressed that he would be a competent auditor; Avakian noted that the Sierra Club liked him. Donald Trump said he would bring jobs back to the industrial Midwest; Hillary Clinton focused on the fact that Trump was rude about a Miss Universe candidate two decades ago. In both cases, we see how that worked out for the Democrats.

While indicative of the larger 2016 election cycle, the Secretary of State’s race in Oregon demonstrates what voters consider important for an election administrator: understanding of the job’s responsibilities and limits, competence, and valuing the integrity of elections. Efforts to turn election administration into a vehicle for progressive social change rightly failed in Oregon last week.
