“Actions speak louder than words” is a good way determine what a person has done & what s/he will continue to do. Hoosiers can witness a nominal candidate for political office who consistently talks & acts as the Christofascist he is. His stage is the GOP State convention, [FN1] 1/9
Micah Beckwith’s [FN2] words are clear, but specific policies to actualize the words are absent. Education: woke agenda [] will be gone & “children learn essential fundamentals, Constitutional literacy” & inspire them w/our nation's (& Beckwith’s religion’s) values. [FN3] Guns? 2/9
Beckwith wants concealed-carry w/o restraint [FN4] & wants to the stop “the illegal immigration
crisis” (that exists in the minds of this iteration of the GOP). [FN5] He’ll be a thorn in the side of the GOP governor who steps “away from constitutional or conservative values.” [FN6] 3/9
Some say Indiana’s Lt Gov has little power, [FN7] but not Beckwith. His past actions show he wields power. On HEPL’s board he was able to effectively shut down its operations by demanding policy be initiated to remove smut from the young adult section. [FN8] Worse is whom 4/9
he emulates. Members of the “Freedom Caucus” in Congress are Beckwith’s heroes. [FN9] I had to correct a person this week who said Beckwith’s more stupid than Matt Gaetz, whose sexual liaison w/a 17-yr-old is under House investigation. Damn it, I said, they’re equals! 5/9
