Comparing an Ottawa Impact person to a squirrel is a disservice to every squirrel that ever walked this earth. Take it back.

“The rule of God’s law” wtf does gods law have to do with government? What happened to separation of church and state?
Christian Nationalists are a theocratic movement dedicated to taking religious liberty out of the foundational concept of America.
They’re essentially a wannabe Taliban but have something to lose, so they advance their goals via government overreach.
Exactly this. And of course the major irony being that think of themselves as patriots and constitutional originalists. Just like with their religion, however, it's always been about picking and choosing which parts they like to abide by and which parts they chose to ignore or use against people they don't like.
They conveniently forget that the vast majority of founders, including the big ones in Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, and Hancock were all overtly critical, if not hostile, toward organized religion. They were all educated and aware of what happened in Europe the previous century (Wars of Religion/Thirty Years’ War) and how religion played a major role in Central Europe losing 1/3 of its population. On top of that, they despised that the King was the Supreme Head of the Church of England and how much the Anglican Church functioned as an arm of the Crown. Hence why we changed the Anglican Church in the US to the Episcopal Church.
Jefferson and Franklin overtly despised religion, and Adams affirmed in the Treaty of Tripoli that the US is not a Christian nation. It’s right there out in the open and easily found/researched. Jefferson published a bible that removed claims of divinity and miracles, ffs.
For people who like to jerk off the Founders, they seemingly never read what the Founders actually said or wrote.
Yup.
I always love an opportunity to share this clip of a Republican douchenozzle who, having opined at length about how the Ten Commandments are the best thing ever and should be shoved into the faces of everyone everywhere, could just barely name three of them.
These things (founding fathers, Constitution, Bible, etc.) are just tokens to these OI/MAGA fucks, mere symbols of the extra power they feel their tribe deserves. They don't even pretend to care about the actual contents of any of them, let alone show any willingness to use reason to suss out the good from the bad, the way normal human beings do.
"We want small government because we want the government to control what you wear, where you go, what you sat, who date, who you love with, what you do on Sunday morning." - the GOP
Y'all Qaeda

Cause: Educational material and information becomes more widely available thanks to technology; inadvertently disproving many core theocratic beliefs.
Effect: Theocratic hysteria intensifies !
Dogmatic vitrole should have been added to the DSM - V... guess we will wait for the DSM-VI to finally modernize this understanding.. then we can medically exempt these loons from government office.
Joe Moss and his ilk of the Ottawa impact believe government should be ruled by the Bible and God's law outweighs mans law. ( Like Moses Mike in the house).
His dad ( Jeffery Moss) & quiver full of 7 boys all practice this Christian nationalist, authoritarian belief.
The sooner these OI Cancerous growths are gone, the better.
Moss is a self-proclaimed Christian Nationalist. During the original election, he openly called himself one.
And a "Rush Baby" assuming that's relates to his hero rush limbaugh.
Rush has been drug free for a while now, at least give him credit for quitting drugs.
According to Joe Moss and Ottawa impact 3 years and change as documented in their post "The third anniversary of Rush Limbaugh's graduation into heaven." I am not going to link to this trash. What a bunch of delusional low IQ humans.
Hell not Heaven, they mixed up his destination with his stripper name.
More important, which god?
The right one of course! /s
I think you meant the white one /s
Very good point.
The one that handed down the 2nd Amendment to Paul Revere.
They read and share a book called “the doctrine of the lesser magistrate”. It literally asks people in lower government positions to ignore the constitution if it violates gods law. This shit is everywhere now.
“There was very poor voter turnout. The general public doesn’t realize the woke agenda that the newly elected have, which will be put into play very quickly,” Barron said in a statement to WLUC. “I’ll be running in the August primary, and we’ll see if the people of Delta County want that mob-rule type of governance or do they want the constitutional representative republic, which is the rule of God’s law.”
And this tripe is why you lost, bozo.
The general public doesn’t realize the woke agenda that the newly elected have, which will be put into play very quickly
It's so sad that people keep falling for this bullshit. I've been hearing about the "woke agenda" for years now but it's still gotta be right around the corner to scare the gullible right to the polls.
I am one voter that did turn out and voted to recall. Even left work early to make sure I got my vote in. Ottowa Impact is a disaster and I can't wait to get rid of the rest of these goons.
Idk if anyone has said it; but we all appreciate you for this. Genuinely.
Thanks! Happy to do my part. Can't wait to vote against them again in the fall.
Seriously, it's our job to vote, or right, I live in van Buren County, I could not vote to help out, but I understand that they took some one out. Problem is, don't forget come November, take all of them out. Don't get lazy. Do your job
The general public doesn’t realize the woke agenda that the newly elected have, which will be put into play very quickly
🎵 Projection! 🎵
He was one antifa mention from me having a republican word salad bingo. Even managed to fit in the constitutional representative republic bs lol
These people talk like characters in trash novels.
"Mob-rule type of governance"..
Does he mean gasp Democracy?!
Theocratic Christian Nationalists can take their holy war bullshit and fuck right off to their own country where they can go without religious freedoms or the American Constitution.
There was very poor voter turnout.
Yeah, Barron, because you and your ilk have spent the last four years telling your followers that elections are rigged and stolen. What did he expect was going to happen?
Now it's just auditioning for right wing news outlets
When he wins it is democracy, when he loses it is mob rule....
Where the fuck is Delta County?
The UP.
Aw, ok then. We don't really care about part. Might as well just give it to Canada.
So they admit the newly elected is against pedophilia and supports the constitution.
Bye, bye OI.
Between that and the Last Week Tonight coverage of the Jamestown library, Ottawa County is sure climbing up the ranks of national laughingstocks in a hurry.
Does Jamestown even have a library anymore?
Yes, we do. The millage passed last fall in a special election on the third attempt, but only for three years, only by an uncomfortably close margin, and with the Jesus freaks promising to do way more damage if they gain a majority of the board in the general election this fall.
I hope the voters send this asshole packing in the August election.
So tired of these radical psychos running around the state, go back to FL or some other terrible hellhole and leave MI alone.
That's a pretty big margin in a pretty Republican area of Ottawa
The district was Biden+1 in 2020.
Nature is healing, even the right is ready (on a local level) to outst these ineffective Qanon types.
Imagine being too conservative for Ottawa County
That video of a lesser OI member(I won't name him) pulling Lucy away from her interview had didn't help her reputation of being a lost sheep who needs to be reminded to do what the big kids want her to.
The OI want to defund the local county police and start their own militia.
I love that Chris won by 60% of the vote. That # rings a bell....oh yeah, that's the percentage raise Joe is giving himself.
They’re gonna get while the gettin is good.
One less christian nationalist trying to force their twisted morals on everyone else.
Still got some work/voting to do.
"want that mob-rule type of governance"
It's democracy you twat!
All you have to do is scream “Trump “in West Michigan and you will be elected to an office. Not many good people out there
This election is literally the opposite of that...
Oh look, another anti-right post climbing the ranks of the r/michigan homepage
shocked Pikachu face
I’m sorry your ideals aren’t popular in Michigan. Have you considered being a better person?
You don't know my ideals, but here's a clue: I value diversity of thought. Sadly this sub prefers an echo chamber.
SAT0725, you're a hypocrite.
Love this call back. <3
AHAHAHAHAHA
Hypocrite.
Sorry you hate the constitution and freedom. But don't you find it weird you are upset a republican who openly supports pedophilia lost?
Show us where the post touched you.
