Are You Sure She's Not From Texas??
"God and guns got us here, and God and guns will keep us here."
Wow, she seems nice, eh? I’ll bet she’s all sorts of fun at parties and gun shows.
It would be easy to believe Republican Pennsylvania state Rep. Stephanie Borowicz doesn’t give a damn about the lives and well-being of her constituents. Based on her rhetoric, no one needs to guess. She yells at Moms Demand Action volunteers and refuses to allow them into her office- so she can present herself as a committed pro-2nd Amendment patriot?
Or perhaps she’s just an asshole careerist who cares more for her political prospects than the lives of people she doesn’t know?
Rep. Stephanie Borowicz boasted about bullying gun reform advocates from Moms Demand Action who tried to appeal to her better nature, a seemingly pointless endeavor. She treated them like Jehovah's Witnesses or, well, any member of a religion that's not her own.
Appealing to her better nature? A seemingly pointless endeavor? Wow, d’ya think??
Things get progressively uglier as she gets wound up, and it’s enough to make one wonder why she isn’t on a court-ordered Thorazine drip and disqualifed from running for public office.
Then again, if being self-absorbed and thoroughly unpleasant was enough to disqualify one from running for office, 75% of Republicans would be unemployed.
BOROWICZ: I always say God and guns. God is here, and God and guns will keep us here….
BOROWICZ: Never surrender on the Second Amendment! Never give them an inch! I had a gun control group ... I think they're called Moms Demand Action or something like that. Of course, it sounds pretty ... "Moms are coming through the hall, demanding action!"
BOROWICZ: They said, "We're not for gun control! We're not to take away your Second Amendment. We just want reasonable laws." ... Uh uh, sure. They came up to my office right on the line. We have, like, a line where you can step over it and I go "don’t step over into my office, don’t even step over the line because you’re not getting anywhere with that bull crap in my office."
You can go down the hall to some leftist-leaning Republican or some liberal Democrat but you're not getting anywhere with that in my office. Then they said, "We pray before we come. We don't want to take away your Second Amendment." I said, "Well, you better go back and pray again, because I'm a Christian and I believe in the Biblical right to self defense."
God and guns? How do “Christians” even connect the two?
It fascinates me how American Taliban “Christians” like Stephanie Borowicz manage to conflate God and guns- as if there’s a God-given right to own whatever firepower sets your heart ablaze. Yet they never cite Scripture that “authorizes” them to carry AR-15s, M-60 machine guns, flame throwers, or hand-held tactical nukes. Instead, they’re claiming a “God-given right” or a “Biblical right to self-defense” should be assumed to exist on their authority.
I may be an atheist, but I remember enough from my Sunday School days to know that there’s no God-given right to carry heavy weaponry- for self-defense or any other reason. Carrying an M-16 is not a right bequeathed to Christians by Scripture. The American Taliban is merely cherry-picking what they find convenient and conflating it into a “God-given…Biblical right to self-defense.”
I'm fairly certain Jesus Christ didn't defend himself with guns blazing. Of course, I haven't read the New Testament in a while, so maybe it is just a series of Jack Reacher books. Borowicz told the Moms Demand Action volunteers to come back in a month and lobby to bring "prayer and the Bible back in school." Prayer has not actually prevented any school shootings.
Yeah, maybe the New Testament is a series of Jack Reacher books in which the hero wears a Camp Auschwitz t-shirt and screams “STOP THE STEAL!!” as he slays Democrats.
Nope. Prayer is useless, as is the idea of arming teachers and school staff. Schools are still educational institutions and shouldn’t become minimum-security prisons.
The last thing we should want or need are frightened, armed teachers and staff members shooting in fear and hitting who-knows-what-or-whom. The odds of them hitting a bad guy aren’t nearly as good as hitting and wounding or killing the wrong person.
This woman loves the fire and brimstone act. Back in 2019, she opened a voting session in the state House with a prayer about how "at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, Jesus, that you are Lord." (Her version of Jesus definitely would've drunk from a blinged-up Holy Grail.) This was shortly before Democratic Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, the first woman Muslim member of the Pennsylvania House, took her oath of office. I doubt the timing was coincidental.
Pennsylvania's Majorie Taylor Greene is awful, and we probably haven't seen the last of her.
Imagine that a member of your state legislature is proud of actively working to prevent solutions that might help to prevent your constituents from being killed by gun violence. Or that she’s proud of electing her flavor of American Taliban “Christianity” over all other religions. Or that she believes the Bible allows her to own whatever firepower her heart desires because she believes there’s a “Biblical right to self-defense” that involves guns.
And imagine that a Christian minister like Franklin Graham is willing to congratulate her for being an arrogant, intolerant, self-righteous zealot who cares nothing for the beliefs of others.
Yeah, that’s about as Christ-like as Kim Jong-un, no? If Jesus Christ was real and returned to Earth, I think He’d be sickened by the arrogance and intolerance of people like Borowicz.
I’ve often wondered why people who profess to love Jesus Christ are often some of the most hateful and intolerant people you’d ever run across. For example, Stephanie Borowicz doesn’t appear to have a compassionate and loving bone in her body, yet she claims to be a “Christian.” If I remember my Sunday School lessons correctly, Jesus was all about love, tolerance, inclusion, and more than a few other very positive qualities.
Borowicz models NONE of those qualities, though she claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ. She shows no respect (indeed an active disdain and disrespect) for those who follow other faiths and ideologies, and she elevates her faith and beliefs over all others.
Right; there are more than 3000 religious faiths in the world, yet Stephanie Borowicz is convinced that hers is in the ONE, TRUE, and ONLY faith. Based on what? Her considerable arrogance and intolerance? Her years wandering in the wilderness studying comparative religion?
If there’s one thing that she stands for, it’s hypocrisy. It’s just sad that she seems to be the only one lacking the awareness to recognize that she’s nothing if not pharisaical.
Because if Stephanie Borowicz is a Christian, I’m Randy Rainbow.
Wow, these people are scary and definitely a long way from what "Christianity" originally envisioned.
