State legislature after state

State legislature after state legislature have passed the most absurd laws I have ever seen.

I came across an article on Brownbeck and his Facebook. Cynical and hilarious messages on that medium are slamming the governor for being an ass. So much so that his staff has to keep purging the communications.

THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS!

Another piece that overloads my head and heart.

I wish it was pure flights of 'perverted fancy', but sadly it is not. Satire? Methinks not so much since it mirrors closely the horrific state of our realm, at least as Repubs and deviates envision and strive to achieve.

I'm more than a bit frightened about the fact that there are multitudes of women out there submitting to and even endorsing the 'gang rape' of women's rights and dignities.

'We must find a new source of repubs or we shall perish.'

The 'we' must be acknowledged as encompassing all segments of our society, because if we do not confront, condemn and conquer, without mercy, these actions and all who champion these warped goals, our country is doomed.

As ever dd, appreciate.

Well I know one thing; there

Well I know one thing; there is a real obsession going on that he cannot seem to let go of!

I went on the rape metaphor

In reply to I sorta suspected it was

I went on the rape metaphor because of the obvious message with that 'internal' uterine sonar device but also because of some speeches Pat Buchanan has been giving the last few years--related to recent book publications.

He goes on and on about his belief that birth control is keeping his lily white population growth down.

This old Roman Catholic veto of birth control tech was part and parcel of this strange perspective held by catholics like Pat and Santorum.

Hopefully this ancient perspective will send women to the polls in droves to make sure the perspective ceases to be enacted into law!

It makes you wonder why

It makes you wonder why Santorum is so obsessed with sex?

I sorta suspected it was coming but missed it; thanks for the link about the new Santorum war. I don't know if I would have taken it in the direction you have, though; seems to me someone like The Onion could do something more along the lines of "Santorum now trying just as hard to lose male voters after marked success at alienating a lot of women voters"?

Anyhew, I got a real kick out of the quote from Mitt's spokeswoman at the end, it's like Romney strangeness par excellance:

In July, Mitt Romney — Santorum's rival and GOP frontrunner — refused to sign the pledge. It also stated homosexuality is a choice and health risk, banned gay marriage, and called for appointing faithful constitutionalists as judges.

Romney's spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said at the time that the oath "contained references and provisions that were undignified and inappropriate for a presidential campaign."

WTF does that mean? What the heck kind of things was she referring to that were in that pledge?

It because we are all born

It because we are all born about the same time and that experience has shaped our understanding of this world. It our job to confuse the younger ones. LOL...at least I don't have to look up words when reading your posts. LOL
