Yup, these are some of the wonderful ideas conservatives are pushing to make this country a better place. Read it and weep for our nation:
1.) In Montana, state Rep. Steve Lavin (R) introduced a bill that would allow corporations to vote in local elections.
2.) In Missouri, state Rep. Mike Leara (R) believes even proposing gun control should be illegal.
3.) The full state Senate in Oklahoma will take up a measure to allow companies to strip birth control and abortion coverage from employer healthcare plans under a bill that unanimously cleared the committee level last week.
4.) The chairman (John Goedde (R)) of the education committee in Idaho’s Senate introduced a bill earlier this month that would make students read — and pass a test — on “Atlas Shrugged” as a requirement for a high school diploma.
5.) In Oklahoma, go right ahead and argue that humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time. On a 9-8 vote last week, the Oklahoma Common Education committee approved the so-called Scientific Education and Academic Freedom Act.
If the bill becomes law, it would make it illegal for biology teachers to fail students who write papers against evolution, climate change and other theories with near 100 percent approval in the scientific community.

I've long lived in Texas, was born and raised in Oklahoma, but can assure you this attitude is native to neither.
Some of my friends who believe this nonsense live in the midwest - Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri.
I've tried hard and long to dissuade of them of this ignorant, misinformed nonsense but there's no reasoning with those who have decided that chain emails are the end-all, be-all source that tells them how to believe, vote, and live.
Their loss, not mine.
Much like when the Republicans got us into two wars by lying to Congress to get their support?
Must have been good lies because the democrats ate it up and supported both wars. It's no different now except the democrats are eating up the lies that come out of their own party.
Whose the fool? The one that tells the lie and convinces others it's not a lie, or those that believe the lie knowing it is a lie?

1) Obama - when a union votes to recertify, the vote must be public so everyone knows how you voted to ensure American values.
2) Detroit - can't cut the farrier position despite Detroit being nearly bankrupt and not having any horses to shoe since the 1960s.
3) Many Public Teachers Unions - the teacher's union can own the health insurance providor, use the contract nogitiations to create a monopoly at the local school district level for the union owned health insurance provider, then charge the local school district ~30% above fair market value for providing health insurance to the teachers...which means less money for teachers, new books, new technology, to fix leaky roofs, and to end play to pay sports - but more money for the Democrat politicians come campaign season.
4) Muskegon Heights - the city has no money and invited the governor to send an emergency money manager...but the old accountant shouldn't have to open the old books to answer questions of fraud and corruption on how the money was being used and spent.
5) Michigan teacher's pension needs a return of 8.5% plus it has a ~1.5% management fee....so that it truly needs its stocks and bonds to average close to 10% to get the return to fund the teacher's retirement as promised. This is nearly impossible...Democrats are fighting against changing the law to use an estimation that would lower the expected rate of return by a mere 0.25%.....and our pension keeps getting more and more underfunded every day...because we haven't been getting 10% returns on our investments...Democrats would rather live in never never land than do simple financial math.

Michigan has a GOP governor and the legislature was GOP until last month.
