Jeanne. You have never once called me stupid, a liar, or threatened me. Nobody on this secular site has ever been rude, nasty, or ganged up in the least as I represent myself as a Christ follower & R conservative. We share same beliefs about forcing religion on children in public schools and the calamity that is ESAs. SecAZ holds Dr. Finch to task & checks/balances that DVUSD & public-school districts follow the law. As should be. Yet, trying to speak reason to my very own Republican LD sites? Blocked by AZ Lobbyists FIRST- censuring my voice and then called a liar again- ganged up on and blocked by the admin on the other R LD. All in response to countering the psychopathic behavior Kim Fisher continues to exhibit at DVUSD and addressing ESAs. These R LD's are a cluster. I don't recognize my republican party anymore; flip-flopping hypocrites on abortion, won't consider that ESAs are costing taxpayers a BILLION & abusing the system killing public ed, crazy conspiracy theories, and bully/decimate anyone who dares to speak up on behalf of the taxpayers. They won't even be bothered to consider the precious lives and education of these public-school children in their zeal for power, attention and love of money. I am gob smacked. Truly gob smacked. We have a sitting board member who has asked constituents at least 2x this past year to open a GO FUND and seeking free lawyers so she can SUE again. The community must get involved this Fall and VOTE WISELY. I keep saying it, even though they try to block me everywhere. Whether R or D, make sure the candidates you choose are mentally stable, proven fiscally responsible, accountable to the taxpayers, work well with others, and share the common good of all children and humanity.
My dad is a lifelong republican who hasn't voted for his party in nearly 20 years. I know a lot of folks like him who don't even recognize their party anymore, and it is like a loss. Like, they're grieving over losing a huge part of their identity. I know another woman in PUSD who is a Christian, but can't find a church that is loving or accepting. She's in a spiritual limbo, and she's also grieving. It's such a shame that you're being treated like this by a party that you've been so loyal to. I would add "being a decent human capable of kindness" to your list, since so many people these days seem to have forgotten how to just be decent to one another.
Thanks for your kindness Jeanne. There is definitely a shift in the culture and this world. We can all feel it. Believers and non-believers alike. It's as if some people are literally giddy with evil. It's frightening. I am voting most worthy candidates this year= nix party. The state of AZ public education is in chaos and the direct result of Doug Ducey's parting shot and cronies. I find the legislation and GOP revolting in this state. It's not even grief, it's flat-out revulsion. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Honestly, I'm kind of shocked how they respond to loyal R's like you. And there are a large number of people like you! It seems like it would be in their best interests to listen to ALL of their party members instead of just the loudest ones.
