It should also be noted that this rep is basically George Santos 2.0. Wikipedia posted:Ogles has repeatedly made public claims of being an "economist." After NewsChannel 5 questioned how much formal training in economics Ogles had, he said he was an economist because when "you look at the body of someone's work ... I've spent the last decade working on economic policy and tax policy. " During that time, Ogles had worked for roughly five years as an anti-tax lobbyist with Americans for Prosperity, and then for a year as the executive director of the Laffer Center, an organisation run by economist Arthur Laffer. The executive director position seemed to involve mainly "administrative" work, reported NewsChannel 5, with Ogles not being named as an author of any economic reports uploaded on the Laffer Center's website. Ogles' congressional website claims that "while working at the Laffer Center, Andy became a nationally recognized expert on tax policy and healthcare, having been featured in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal and Investor’s Business Daily". NewsChannel 5 questioned this claim, being unable to find any articles in the publications independently citing him as an expert, only finding three columns written by Ogles in these publications, all of which were written when he was a lobbyist, before he worked for the Laffer Center. He also got $25,000 in donations for a memorial garden to his supposedly stillborn baby but never built the garden or whatever and refuses to answer questions about it.

I know that whenever I think about Christmas and the birth of our lord and savior, the first thing I think about is assault weapons. Just like the bible emphasizes. Same with Easter. I remember showing my 3 year old a chocolate bunny and some colored eggs and then I explained to him that this is how we celebrate the resurrection of the son of god. He didn't understand but my wife laughed. I swear to God, the only thing that these weirdos care about is a bible, a flag and a gun. They'll even tell you as much. You could wrap a dog turd in a flag and they'd pretend to get teary eyed about it, describing what a beautiful patriotic turd it is.

How do people who espouse pro-life values square that with their often-rabid support of the death penalty?

PT6A posted:How do people who espouse pro-life values square that with their often-rabid support of the death penalty? On the rare instance they acknowledge it, they usually use phrases like "defending innocent life" as a way to differentiate why it's totally OK to execute anyone who crosses their arbitrarily defined line from innocence to guilt.

PT6A posted:How do people who espouse pro-life values square that with their often-rabid support of the death penalty? They don't. Not that they don't support both, it's that they don't square it. They don't care about squaring it. Making sense does not matter to them. They support what they support and the reasoning behind it - incongruent or not - is not important to them. There was a really good post made on the subject in the past few days that puts it into a perfect light, I'll try to track it down. Edit: Turns out it was two posts, underlining mine. Panfilo posted:I was talking about this recently, in the context of some nobody named Catturd2 having an inordinate amount of followers. And it boiled down to this: BiggerBoat posted:Good post.

https://twitter.com/brenonade/status/1640512268927418368 Remember that a significant number of people in this country believe that there is no policy solution to this problem, it's the fault of the fallen world, sinfulness, spiritual warfare, evilness, etc. So you can throw all the statistics and data and examples from other countries and everything you want at them but it doesn't matter because half the country thinks this is caused by the Devil's whispers.

More people think there's too little than too much. Though the methodology is a little iffy since the crosstabs show the survey skews rural and wealthy, the details of which priorities are more popular don't change that people want to cut taxes but increase every kind of spending except the one thing the government spends almost nothing on.
