"Texas State Rep. James Talarico using biblical scripture to tear down conservative Christian arguments"

[tallslenderguy]

"After quoting from the Bible, the Democratic lawmaker said, “A religion that has to force people to put up a poster to prove its legitimacy is a dead religion, and it’s not one I want to be a part of. It’s not one I am a part of.”

Talarico then brings up that this bill seems to go against Republicans’ desire to get parental consent for everything. “Every time on this committee that we try to teach students values like empathy or kindness, we’re told we can’t because that’s the parent’s role,” he said. “Every time on this committee that we try to teach basic sex education to keep our kids safe, we’re told that’s the parent’s role, but now you’re putting religious commandments — literalcommandments — in our classroom, and you’re saying that’s the state’s role. Why is that not the parent’s role?”"

Absolutely superb. Exceptional rhetoric and flawless debate technique applied against an insidiously disingenuous and manipulative platform. This is how you beat them.

I'm not sure if it will sink into any of the R's heads, but maybe there's a scintilla of a chance !!!

Wow - what an amazing speaker he is - googled him and got sucked into watching several of his videos that are posted 

I will certainly be keeping an eye on him - if we are lucky he will go far

I think this is the kind of reason and eloquence we need in the White House.
