Blame Canada (Again).

It would appear that the Ohio state legislature is filled to bursting with sh*t posting trolls:
The Ohio House passed a resolution (House Resolution 194) late Wednesday night that urges the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom to add Canada to a religious freedom watch list.

Republican Rep. Tim Ginter (R-Salem) backed the resolution for the way Canada handled lockdowns of churches and actions it took against religious leaders during the pandemic.

“This resolution is not the result of a singular incident or even a handful of incidents. It's a persistent pattern of religious rights violations that has driven us to this point,” Ginter said...

Yes.

You read that right.

The Republican-led house 'passed' the resolution because, apparently, 'China':
...Rep Reggie Stoltzfus (R-Paris Township) said religious leaders who violated COVID protocols in Canada were jailed. And he says that's not a behavior Ohio should condone. He said this resolution would send a strong message to Canada.

"While Ohio has stood up for religious freedom and protected the right to attend religious services, it is clear Canada has not done the same," Stoltzfus said.

Stoltzfus said this behavior is "very similar to what we see in Communist-controlled China."...

As for kangaroo courts, state-sanctioned enemies lists, and palace guard quislings vying to catch the eye of dear leader and his media dung flingers (careful: link is Krakatoa crazy crackers east of Columbus)?

Well...

US Senator Barry Goldwater said this in 1981....He warned the people...it appears that warning was ignored...This religious extremist is in full bloom in USA in 2022.....Below is what Barry Goldwater said on the Senate floor.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

Grant--

Point taken.

Ironically, it was Mr. Goldwater who opened the door to the fundamentalism, religious and otherwise, that now rules the US'ian Republican party (and will soon, rule the entity formerly known as CCRAP here in Canada).

Agreed Mr. K.....Time for some hard election fraud claim facts.

on one hand Ohio must have developed a very strange sense of humour. If this is serious, the U.S.A. is in deep shit. Perhaps they dont' know there are other countries with real problems, hey how about Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, Afghanistan, etc, but of course they only impact women and minority ethic groups.

When the majority of citizens don't go out and vote you frequently wind up with "nut bars" being elected.
or perhaps the politicians in Ohio don't know of any other countries besides Canada. Some of the american politicians are some what limited in their knowledge of the world and other things.

Its funny though. don't these idiots have some thing better to do with their time, like deal with poverty, lack of child care, lack of medical access, high mortality rates for women giving birthm, the list goes on,

Perhaps they were just trying some of their "breathern" in their "fight" to spread the virus and have more people die.
