On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage.

He died today at 89.

He says the people his Gestapo are arresting are “career criminals” (almost all aren’t) who are “born that way” (a racist idea)

Some of you people out there opining strongly about politics know so little about politics that you:

Are unaware of the distinction between Democrats and the Democratic Party

Don't know candidates exist if you don't see them on TV

Think sharing funny memes with your pals is activism
