"The Governor of Mississippi says he'd rather be executed through crucifixion than repeal his anti-LGBT legislation.
The Governor of Mississippi Phil Bryant signed a new law in April that enables discrimination against LGBT people – ignoring pleas from business leaders in the state.
The law goes even further than most – even permitting people to discriminate based on sexual orientation in "any employment-related decision" and "any decision concerning the sale, rental, [or] occupancy of a dwelling" as long as it's based on "sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction"."

Wow. He's really going out on a limb, isn't he.

"Even if space aliens from the planet Rhyxxyb torture me, I would not support that bill."

"I'd rather perish in a zombie apocalypse than support that bill."

"If I support that bill, may the ghost of George Washington drown me in cherry juice."

Really brave to be willing to endure something that has zero chance of ever happening.

A guy that brave, I bet he could endure 90 seconds of facial electrolysis, maybe even 95 before he jumped off the table screaming.

aliens? puts in a call to some MIB friends

zombies? googles "bath salts"

cross? finds some nails and wood...






to build a wall.

So he's comparing himself to Jesus?

maybe his own.... personal... Jesus?

All these people that keep saying these things seem to all be in their 60s... I hope i don't get like that at 60ish.  -_-#

I could live with that. It sounds better than the pro-discrimination laws.

We'll see how long that stands. There are those in the extremists side of the right that would love to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Let that sink in for a moment.

The death throes of a dying ideology.

The death throes of a dying ideology.

Yes.  And their zealousness is exposing it's rot for everyone to see.  They are putting the nails in their own coffin.

This person and others like him are dangerous. I sympathize for the people in that state that have to deal with such stupidity.

Or in this case, a cross.

"Uh.  Yer Honor, we suddenly realized he was a politician and we panicked.  That's how he wound up nailed onto that lumber.  Yeah, clearly a case of 'Politician Panic'."

[rosinstraya]

If he wants to die on a cross, who am I to stop him.

What a flaming drama queen.

[BeverlyAnn]

Well, if that's what you want....

[stephaniec]

Dreams are funny things or nightmares are just as real as the actual event. God might just grant his wish.

[Devlyn]

Hmm, he looks about six feet tall. Don't worry, I'm not sizing him up for crucifixion, I'm just curious how they pile it so high! 

Hugs, Devlyn

Wants to die on the cross, huh? As a Mississippian, I find that I'm really quite comfortable with his preference.
