Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

You know your testimony against a draconian abortion bill in Texas is good when the Senate Committee has the police stop you and drag you out of the room before you can finish.
All kinds of awesome in this video!
Here is the woman's Twitter account if you want to learn more about her.
She did an interview with local morning radio, KLBJ today. She is AWESOME and has a bright future. She was trying to give each member a critique of their job performance. Texas is going to miss her. Goddamn losers!
Another fierce Texan woman! If enough of them stand up and be counted, even as they are being pulled away by the police, maybe other Texans will become brave enough to vote against the GOP in 2010, 2012, and 201xxxxx. It is time!
This is why everyone hates pig cops. They are cowardly bullies who abuse citizens. Texas cops are worse than Al Quaeda. Worse than the Taliban. They don't protect and serve, they are useless slugs and cockroaches. Cops are totally worthless drains on society.
Good for her. I really hope that no women anywhere in this country vote for Republicans in the coming elections. They really need to learn a lesson. And losing office and benefits is the only way they will learn. Beaglemom

Libertarian Kook Adam Kokesh Arrested With Guns and Magic Mushrooms
Heavily armed anarcho-libertarian high on mushrooms
After libertarian loon Adam Kokesh posted a video of himself loading a shotgun in Freedom Plaza, just blocks from the White House, police arrested him and searched his home last night — and discovered guns and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Police searched the Northern Virginia home of activist Adam Kokesh Tuesday evening and took him into custody on for allegedly being in possession of hallucinogenic mushroom while also having a gun, authorities said.
Kokesh, a former Marine, was held overnight at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, charged with possession of schedule I or II drugs while in possession of a firearm, said Lt. Steve Elbert, a spokesman for the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office.

If you’ve been looking forward to your annual autumn camping trip in Northern Wisconsin’s lushly wooded Penokee Heritage Park, you might want to make alternative leaf-peeping plans this year. Thanks to the controversial mining company, Gogebic Taconite (GTAC), this popular hiking and camping destination is now crawling with camouflaged, masked commandos bearing assault weapons. Why? Apparently, they were terrorized by a handful of protesters — including 26-year-old Katie Kloth — who vandalized their equipment last month and incurred a whopping $2,000.00 in damages. Kloth wrestled a worker’s cell phone away to prevent her cohorts from getting photographed, and was arrested and charged with “robbery with use of force, misdemeanor theft and two counts of criminal damage to property,” according to Lee Berquist from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
I think that the viciousness of the current GOP assault on women (and I mean all women) is part of their fear of gays. In some bizarro way, their pathetic GOP brains connect treating women with respect with being unmanly, so they are being as mean and nasty towards women as they can in order to assert their manliness. Otherwise, I'm at a complete loss why the 21st century GOP is so obsessed with women's health issues. You cannot tell me that they care about babies and children. Why they've just eliminated food stamps from House version of the farm bill they are debating. Before you know it they will have banned all possible abortions and hysterectomies in some hidden part of the farm bill that they pass. Beaglemom
It's going to get ugly! This just adds fuel to the fire. Thank you assholes for not having the guts to hear what this young woman had to say...you just showed how hypocritical and thin skinned you are. You think having her escorted out will intimidate the rest of us?? We've only just begun!
I know this is a naive question...but what are the rules for such presentations or speeches? Why is it that she can only speak for the allotted time until someone does not like what she said?? Is it that she started to address the reps by name,individually - or is this purely a matter of pretense and the whim of the elected posers?? (thanks)

ReplyDeleteGoddamn losers!
She was epic. What a bright person.
DeleteWhat a courageous young woman. As a 60-something woman, I find it hard to believe that women are still fighting this battle.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Those assholes in Texas need to be taken down.

She was brilliant, from first breath to fading shouts. Brilliant American woman.
ReplyDeleteShe's leaving Texas. Good move.
ReplyDeleteYeah. If she stayed they'd probably lynch her.
