A link to the platform: T

he Texas Republican Party official platform:

A couple of other doozies:

• Early Childhood Development - We believe that parents are best suited to train their children in their early development and oppose mandatory pre-school and Kindergarten. We urge Congress to repeal government sponsored programs that deal with early childhood development.
• UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child ― We unequivocally oppose the United States Senate's ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
• Foster Care ― We support eliminating bureaucratic prohibitions on corporal discipline and home schooling in foster homes.
• Sex Education – We recognize parental responsibility and authority regarding sex education. We believe that parents must be given an opportunity to review the material prior to giving their consent. We oppose any sex education other than abstinence until marriage.
• Smart Meters - We oppose the mandated use of Smart Meters as well as the use of collected data to reduce freedoms of U.S. citizens..

Moontanman, it ain't just the Texas GOP.

 

As a nation you are against corporal punishment but places like Texas have an "Express Lane" for executions. So you don't officially condone striking a person to punish them, but killing them instead is fine.

 

Then when you do kill the poor sap, you sterilize the needle first. Why? Are you scared he'll catch some horrible disfiguring disease in the last 5 minutes of his life?

 

There is a lot of "non thinking" going on over there. There's a lot of it happening elsewhere too, but some of yours are silliest.

 

P.S. TYT are a great example self righteous, self opinionated moronism being given a voice.
