American papers are filled with pundits speculating about the horrors the Taliban may inflict on the people of Afghanistan, particularly its women. Less attention has been paid to the horrors Texas Republicans — the Taliban wing of the Republican Party — are inflicting on the State of Texas. In total control of the state, Republicans have a free hand that they’ve used to enforce extremism.
Dubbing them the Texas Taliban isn’t just name-calling. The parallels are chilling. The Taliban scorn democracy. They see their opponents as heretics and heathens. The Taliban are bigots, rejecting people of other religions. The Taliban enforce a religious zealotry with suppression of women a central tenet. The Taliban invoke religious law to supplant the civil law. The Taliban reject modernity, scorn science, and seek return to a fundamentalist society that never was.
In the last two weeks, the Taliban honored an agreement to help the U.S. military get 123,000 Afghans and Americans out of the country and promised to do more as they seek to work with other nations.
In that same period, the Texas legislature and Abbott sought to restrict voting and take away a woman’s right to self-determination. Who are we to not trust a newly emerging Taliban as it seeks its place in the family of nations while being asked to trust a Republican Government of Texas that attacks democracy and the rights of women?
It’s the old tried-and-true Confederate State of Texas, the last state to inform its slaves they were free, for which we now celebrate Juneteenth.

“Extreme projection from the death-cult...”
Exactly what what it is. Amazing to me they do not see it. The entire statement applies to them once you understand their religion doesn’t involve God.
“In that same period, the Texas legislature and Abbott sought to restrict voting and take away a woman’s right to self-determination. “
Lying SoS.
Hasn’t he been sent to inspect his dwelling in Hell yet?
Jessuh Jacksoff desperately trying to be relevant....
Republicans and Texans should sue the pants off of him. Don’t accept the lies, slander & hate speech anymore.
The Reverend who was once pro-life? What changed?We know more about the unborn child then we ever did before and the child’s humanity. So what changed? Abortion is a gold mine.
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.”
~ Booker T. Washington

According to Jackson and most political Black hacks, abortion is “a woman’s right to self-determination?” And voter rights should include being able to sell your mail-in vote for a taco, beer, and a five dollar bill.
Poooooor Reverend Jackson. He was born with a pair of surgical scissors in his mouth and a collection plate in his hand.
I normally don’t like talking smack about a man of the cloth but gfysobahcsmfpos.
Oh, bite me. Poverty pimps.
Eff this loser. “Self-determination.” What a crock. And what is he really saying? Again, it’s the “ethnic minority women are as dumb as a box of rocks; they are all sexually promiscuous; they cannot be trusted to be responsible with their sexual behavior; ethnic men mistreat their women and beat them for having babies, then get them pregnant again; ethnic minority women NEED to be able to kill their babies to be free!”
Also, of course, the Democrats are in favor of anything that will keep a young female in prime condition to copulate every day of the month - and pregnancy definitely isn’t one of those things. A pregnant chick can’t help you blackmail someone; you can’t pimp her off to one of your influential friends; she is thinking about her baby’s welfare and won’t take part in any of the extreme behaviors that are part of “Democrat party girl” life! Pregnancy and Democrats just don’t work or play well together! And “happy families” and Democrats? Forget it!
Oh my their right. I think they all ought to move out to California or New York in protest (and don't let the doorknob hit you).
one old haggard racist extortionist
What other beings with a heartbeat is Jesse okay with killing? Texas SB8 is a Child Protection Mandate.
Liberals intend to kill us. That explains why they are allowing so many immigrants who absolutely despise Christianity (true Christianity).

Agree 100%.
The Taliban Defeated and Survived the worlds most powerful fighting force....US!!!
Geee Jesse, maybe you SHOULD BE SCARED!
” Another area that concerns me greatly, namely because I know how it has been used with regard to race, is the psycholinguistics involved in this whole issue of abortion. If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. So when American soldiers can drop bombs on Vietnam and melt the faces and hands of children into a hunk of rolling protoplasm and in their minds say they have not maimed or killed a fellow human being something terribly wrong and sick has gone on in that mind. That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us “niggers.” It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in. order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking. life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder; they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified…What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually?” (How we respect life is the over-riding moral issue:Right to Life News, January 1977)
The rev speaks flatulently.
