Crazy Bill From Crazy People!


The legislation… if you want to call it that, is known as SB 1418,  It states:
“No person or entity shall manufacture or knowingly sell food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.”

This bit of crazy, is a Senate bill introduced in Oklahoma by one Ralph Shortey. He is an Oklahoma Senator who apparently enjoys living in La La land and his bill is just the latest in a string of  disturbing bills which perfectly reflect the Republicans and their crazy religious ideas. When I read this article in the LA Times Blog, I almost choked!

This guy does indeed as his name suggests, run Short on intelligence or an awareness of reality. He apparently did not come up with this idea on his own [no surprise there] and was alerted to this developing occurence of embryonic cannibalism by the equally vigilant watchmen of  fetal crimes… The Children of God for Life; who themselves seem to be a few pickles short of a picnic.

The Daily Oklahoman reported his motivation for the bill:  “Shortey said he filed the bill after reading last fall that an anti-abortion group, Children of God for Life, had called on the public in March 2010 to boycott products of major food companies that partnered with a biotech company that produces artificial flavor enhancers, unless the company stopped using aborted fetal cells to test their products. The company has denied the allegation.”

Mr. Shortey  has introduced many bills in the past [since his taking office in 2010] that are quite fitting and par for the course for one with his intellectual talents…or lack thereof according to this writer.  His bills have included one denying Oklahoma citizenship to children of illegal immigrants born in the state.

Another bill he wrote would have allowed police to confiscate the vehicles and real estate of illegal immigrants. Similarly, he tried to advance a bill that would have required presidential candidates to provide proof of citizenship before being allowed on Oklahoma’s primary ballot, a move that proves how vigilant he is in protecting against those pesky ‘Illegal Immigrants’ running for the Presidency.

I have always felt that there would be ‘hell’ to pay when religious fanatics are elected to office and this psychotic Senator just underscores my concerns. In his jubilant willingness to serve and appease his gods, he is going all out in his capacity to protect the unborn against the very companies which he and his Republican clan try to lobby for, against the American people who are victimized at every turn by this tag team of corrupt politicians and ‘soul-less’ companies…companies that Mitt Romney and the SCOTUS insist are indeed people.

So far none of his crazy bills have become law but I’m sure this ‘watchdog of righteousness’ won’t let that deter him from god’s tasks. I’m sure one of his gods, Rush Limbaugh will give him extra points for his vigilance… a blessing that might well get him into heaven without being converted to Mormonism by Mitt Romney!!  I will sleep well tonight.

Mitt Bitch Slaps Newt!!


I may have to eat my words if Mitt keeps up his strong defense against the bully on the block, Newt. The words I refer to are in this article.
The Florida Debate showed a side of Mitt that many, including myself, were surprised to see. Romney bitch slapped Newt all over the stage on more than one occasion. Here is the transcript of one such creative moment by Mitt…
GINGRICH: Okay. The governor has cheerfully — the governor has cheerfully attacking me inaccurately and he knows it. The contracts we released from Freddie Mac said I would do no consulting, wrote in, no — I mean no lobbying, none. But this is a more interesting story. We began digging in after Monday night because frankly I’d had about enough of this. We discovered to our shock, Governor Romney owns shares of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Governor Romney made a million dollars off of selling some of that. Governor Romney owns share — has an investment in Goldman Sachs, which is today foreclosing on Floridians.
So maybe Governor Romney in the spirit of openness should tell us how much money he’s made off of how many households that have been foreclosed by his investments? And let’s be clear about that.
(APPLAUSE)
ROMNEY: First of all, my investments are not made by me. My investments for the last 10 years have been in a blind trust, managed by a trustee. Secondly, the investments that they’ve made, we’ve learned about this as we made our financial disclosure, have been in mutual funds and bonds. I don’t own stock in either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. There are bonds that the investor has held through mutual funds. And Mr. Speaker, I know that sounds like an enormous revelation, but have you checked your own investments? You also have investments through mutual funds that also invest in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
It was great to see the obnoxious Gingrich being taken down a few pegs with that exchange, as Newt’s silence after that  spat showed he was caught completely by surprise when Mitt revealed that he also had investments in Fannie and Freddie. He knew when he was in over his head and just took his blows quietly, as all bullies do when they are opposed and exposed.
Mitt was funny at times [one time] when after an exchange, Mitt came back with this little ditty that had the crowd laughing and applauding…
ROMNEY: You know, our problem is not 11 million grandmothers. (APPLAUSE)
He was almost human for the most part as shown here,  almost showing some emotion even…
BLITZER: I just want to make sure I understand. Is he still the most anti-immigrant candidate?
GINGRICH: I think, of the four of us, yes.
BLITZER: Go ahead, Governor.
ROMNEY: That’s simply unexcusable. That’s inexcusable. And, actually, Senator Marco Rubio came to my defense and said that ad was inexcusable and inflammatory and inappropriate.
Mr. Speaker, I’m not anti-immigrant. My father was born in Mexico. My wife’s father was born in Wales. They came to this country. The idea that I’m anti-immigrant is repulsive.
Don’t use a term like that. You can say we disagree on certain policies, but to say that enforcing the U.S. law to protect our borders, to welcome people here legally, to expand legal immigration, as I have proved, that that’s somehow anti anti-immigrant is simply the kind of over-the-top rhetoric that has characterized American politics too long.
And I’m glad that Marco Rubio called you out on it. I’m glad you withdrew it. I think you should apologize for it, and I think you should recognize that having differences of opinions on issues does not justify labeling people with highly charged epithets.  
Until now, everyone thought Mitt was just a robot or a clone of a statue, but he actually showed some enthusiasm for the job he is vying for. He appeared eager to face off with the President of the United States, Barack Obama, in an effort to beat him in an election that would be watched with bated breath around the world.

There is still a slim chance that Mitt may not be allowed by the Republican establishment to win this race. It is understood in Republican circles that the fair and loving Right Wing ‘Christians’ will not vote for a Mormon. Many have said they may stay home rather than elect a Mormon…their words not mine, as this video shows. [Click ahead in interview to 1:55 on time counter]
This upcoming election is not only important to Americans but is the hinge on which the door of a Global Depression swings. If the Republicans win, the world will be sent into a tailspin similar to, but worse than, the recession caused by the Bumbling George Dumbya Bush.
Many people have suffered and indeed died as a result of George’s and the Republicans’ ‘policies.’ 


We would do well to remember who allowed this recession to materialize and I hasten to add that Bush and his cronies were only too pleased to start two wars which cost thousands of our Soldiers their lives.
So here’s hoping that the worst possible candidate wins the nomination and saves the world as a result…by losing to the POTUS!!
