24. Absolutely...! They can't stand the fact that a good man, and a good man

for the people is gay and that he and his partner have kids. To these degenerates' minds, any kids not growing up in the Xtian family of one woman, one man, any number of kids HAVE to be abused by the very nature of the relationship. This is your Dominionism growing tentacles and reaching out farther and farther until they obtain their goal -- a theocracy made up of ONLY there view of religion. Thing is, most of what they believe isn't truly biblical, and certainly not biblical when you go back and get a true translation from Aramaic!

I wish Pete all the best in the world. I was a victim of something like this after my 4 yo fell completely onto a fire ant mound (in the backyard of her on-base daycare!) in Texas and they didn't even take her to the hospital, nor call either me or my husband. For all they knew, my daughter could have allergic. At the very least, the medical center would have given them a salve to ease the sting and hurt of the bites. I've been bitten by fire ants... they aren't to play around with. Anyway, hubs and I were incensed and he reported it to his CO, who ran it up the ranks. They retaliated by calling ME neglectful to CPS. Let me tell you, after CPS was satisfied and walking out the door, I let that onbase daycare have it with both barrels blasting!!! This was nearly 50 years ago. It was so traumatic, I can remember it like it was yesterday. That's why I have great empathy for Pete and Chastain. This will live inside them for decades.
