The major politicians that I’d fuck from Alabama.

Sen. Richard Shelby I've been wanting the senior senator from Alabama for years. He lost some weight over the years but that doesn't mean I wouldn't take him to bed on a very regular basis.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville He's what you think a senator would look like. I'd love to fuck around in bed with him for a weekend.

Jerry Carl, Mo Brooks, Robert Aderholt

Gary Palmer and Barry Moore

All of Alabama's representatives here, Jerry Carl, Mo Brooks, Robert Aderholt, Gary Palmer and Barry Moore could get some kind of "favor" from me with Jerry Carl being my favorite.

The phrase “half-true” is misleading - yes, they are allowing bans on same sex adoption; they’re simply not the ones enforcing them.  

"Several states and localities across the country are not allowing religious organizations, such as Catholic Charities and Bethany Christian Services, to operate child welfare agencies," Aderholt said. "The reason for this is simply because these organizations, based on religious conviction, choose not to place children with same-sex couples."

He added: "The amendment I introduced seeks to prevent these governments from discriminating against child welfare providers on the basis that the provider declines to provide a service that conflicts with its sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions."

Aderholt’s amendment also includes language requiring HHS to withhold 15 percent of federal funds allocated for child welfare services from states and localities that do take action against providers that refuse services on the basis of religious beliefs.

House Democrats Reject Motion to Fund Police

House Democrats voted down a motion which would have recommitted $15 million from the left’s “unauthorized program providing free legal assistance to illegal immigrants” and instead applied it to the Byrne Justice Assistance grant program, which provides localities with funding for a range of programs — from assisting local law enforcement to crime prevention and education.

Rep. Robert Aderholt…

Leo Vida at PoliticusUSA: 

Conservative Republican Representative Robert Aderholt of Alabama doesn’t like gay people adopting children.  As a result he introduced a new restriction concerning gay adoptions as an amendment in a bill before the House Appropriations Committee, and his amendment was approved by the committee.

If Aderholt’s law goes into effect, it would allow adoption agencies to refuse service to gay couples based on the moral or religious beliefs of the agency. More specifically, according to Aderholt, the amendment would allow child welfare providers to decline to “provide a service that conflicts with its sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions.”

Aderholt said that religious organizations such as Catholic Charities and Bethany Christian Services would now be able to operate child welfare agencies if the legislation passes.

According to Aderholt:

“The reason for this is simply because these organizations, based on religious conviction, choose not to place children with same-sex couples. The amendment I introduced seeks to prevent these state governments from discriminating against child welfare providers on the basis that the provider declines to provide a service that conflicts with its sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions.”

Aderholt’s amendment would have a significant impact in states with larger LGBTQ populations and more gay-friendly laws. It would require the US Department of Health and Human Services to withhold from states 15% of the federal funds each state receives for child welfare services if that state doesn’t meet the new standards for “protecting” religious adoption groups.

Robert B. Aderholt is a Republican who represents the 4th District of Alabama; he has held this position since 1997. Since he has held this office for so long he has quite a long record of votes and positions; because of this I have chosen to write about just a couple of issues that are important to me. While Aderholt does not fall 100% in line with the typical Republicans these days, he does share many of the same views. The first being his views on abortion, Aderholt is vehemently anti-abortion; going so far as to want to grant fetuses Equal Protection rights under the 14th Amendment. Aderholt opposes marriage equality and wants a Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as something between one man and one woman. He is also a long time supporter of mandated prayer in school. In 1997 he supported a Constitutional Amendment that support school prayer.

He also just voted to repeal the ACA, which will take health insurance from millions of Americans. In other words he just voted to kill millions of Americans.

I always find it interesting how often Republicans want to amend the Constitution. Most Republicans will tell you they do not consider the Constitution to be a living document, and that it should lie literally interpreted, but they are always quick to want to add Amendments that support their cause of the day. Anyway…
