You can be happy and not afford milk says Bentley. Avenues!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need those jobs that bigots like you give to their crony unqualified friends and not to the people that are qualified and merit them.

Of course he's not worried about money, neither is this miserable state's legislature, they'll just vote themselves a pay raise whenever they feel like it, and the people here will just keep re-electing them. Alabama orchestrates its' own demise.

[BisonAP]

If there's any lingering doubt that Alabama's a doomed state, just listen to this lunatic and wonder no more.

@meccaturbo Lunatics like this asshole are why we have a separation of church and state. When I am told to believe exactly what someone else believes - exactly the way they believe it or I will burn in hell - I have to ask when they began thinking they were God? Who gave them the power to pass judgement? I'm pretty sure passing judgement is God's job. I know it isn't this asshole's job. The right wing religous fanatics - like this freak - scare me to death.

You fucking clowns who put this video together are the jerks. Robert Bentley is not a jerk. Get a life, you retarded clowns.

@dmb1791 agreed yeah These MegaChurches, but this still does not change my mind that I think churches should pay taxes also. Also note, I did not say most churches lol but I do see where I did not narrow my selection down :)

[dmb1791]

@sgtjoebear Maybe megachurches, but defintely not most churches. Most churches do stuff for the poor all the time, you must not go to one.

@sgtjoebear I volunteer at my church on Fridays. I see my church pay out money for utilities every day. We have a food closet that we use to supply food to people every day. If you're not seeing the churches doing it then you're just not looking.

@sierratangodelta I definitely do not see the churches lining up to pay anything, for anyone that is poor. I do see them building more huge churches with fitness gyms and tennis courts. Churches need to pay taxes too!
