Police officers in Texas got a report of a car with four black men, one of them waving a gun outside a window. They respond by pulling over a car containing an innocent family, proceeding to terrorize young children with guns drawn. This should not happen in America. I can’t help but think this rarely happens to innocent white people in America.

Texas religious conservatives serving on the state textbook review panel want the oxymoron that is “creation science” included in biology books. Never mind that the Supreme Court ruled in 1987 that creationism cannot be taught in public school science classes, the arrogance of creationists will not be thwarted.

Did you know there is a law in Texas that allows you to use deadly force to retrieve stolen property? Well, the only catch is that the theft has to occur at nighttime. No seriously folks, conservatives are apparently just making it up as they go. — Because such a law exists, a man was just acquitted of murder.

No, no, no! Not the Iraq War. Not the Afghanistan War. I’m talking about the “War on Christmas.” — If I suddenly lost all sense of logic and reason and found myself part of the religious and extremist right-wing flock, maybe this would speak to me?…

It starts off as a massive fire in the distance, it ends with an explosion that makes the previous blaze look like a jolly good time gathered around the camp fire. Holy crap that is crazy! Last I heard the whole town was evacuated and possibly dozens dead. This is horrible.

Not wanting fellow Republican James Inhofe to take the lead on ‘batshit crazy things elected officials say,’ on Wednesday, Republican Congressman Joe Barton (TX) said the “Great Flood” from the Bible is an example of climate change not caused by man. Essentially he’s saying — not all climate change is created equal. Or maybe it’s — this ain’t your father’s climate change. Either way, this climate change thing is still up for debate according to Barton. Man-made? Natural occurrence? God? — Who knows?

Finally some good news on the effort to stop Republican voter suppression. Today a federal court of appeals blocked the Texas voter ID law saying it would disenfranchise the poor. Texas cannot implement their discriminatory voter ID law unless today’s ruling is overturned by the Supreme Court. While Texas is not a swing state and is a lock for Mitt Romney in November, this is still a nice victory for everyone who believes in a fair election system.

As always, another great point made by Chris Hayes. On today’s Up with Chris Hayes the topic of voter suppression was at the top of the show. Texas is defending it’s undemocratic photo ID law and they want to be free from the restrictions of the 1965 voting rights act. Hayes tells us that the purpose of the voting rights act was not to police intent, but rather the effects. So if a state passes a restrictive new law that requires photo ID in order to vote, the test of whether that is allowed under the voting rights act is not the intent. We don’t need to know why the Republican legislators in Texas passed their restrictive law in order to judge it’s lawfulness. We don’t need to know if they are racists (which some most certainly are), and we don’t need to know if the reason Republicans passed these laws was to make the process of voting a more difficult task for minorities who are more likely to vote Democratic. Like Hayes said, “nobody has to do any mind-reading,” in order to enforce the voting rights act.
