Yesterday, Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced H.R. 86, the Safe Students Act, which would repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990.
The bill, originally introduced by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) in 2007, repeals the Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) of 1990, which makes it “unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.” In 1995, the Supreme Court held the GFSZA unconstitutional, which prompted Congress to amend the bill in 1996. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the constitutionality of the amended Act.
“Gun-free school zones are ineffective. They make people less safe by inviting criminals into target-rich, no-risk environments,” said Massie. “Gun-free zones prevent law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves, and create vulnerable populations that are targeted by criminals.”

In a nutshell that is less money for old people, less control for women over their reproductive organs, and more places for Ammosexuals to walk around showing off their metal penis extenders.
And they have only just begun.
The only reason the GOP even exists id because they have a large base of stupid...That's always been the scary part, so much stupid, plus...stupid people vote...The Democrats never rest on their laurels, and again I blame party leadership for not getting the message out, separating themselves from the current administration, and no voter registration drives...if more effort was put into those 3 issues, the GOP could be 'contained'....owell

They just whine. Progressives are almost more critical of Democrats than they are of Republicans. So if you want to get elected, then you appeal to the people who DO vote - conservatives.

They get the churches to vote for them. That is our problem most of us don't have a social structure like a church.
We need something to get everyone on the same page to fight the stupid. They are indeed trying to "drive our country back" as Potus said so many years back. Instead of forward.
That's the thing with R's orgs, they have so many fake orgs and fake churches. Notice how all the trolls spew the same shit on ANY given day?
B/c "someone" is telling them what to say and do. Not saying we should be THAT bad b/c we do think for ourselves but we have to have some organization to fight back...we are going to have two years of this hell.

ReplyDeleteSen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) urged the Department of Justice not to bring criminal charges against former CIA Director David Petraeus over his handling of classified information.
"This man has suffered enough in my view," Feinstein said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, explaining why she doesn't think Attorney General Eric Holder should seek an indictment.
Petraeus "made a mistake," added the senator, who is vice chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "But … it's done, it's over. He's retired. He's lost his job. How much does the government want?"

Thieving Republicans Robbed Americans In Their First Week Controlling Congress
ReplyDelete...It is amazing that Republicans who could not pass any legislation last year, spent the first four days of the 114th Congress stealing from women, retired and disabled Americas, large corporations’ employees, and various government departments and the Executive Branch. It is noteworthy that none of the legislation or rule changes enacted by Republicans provide anything for the population, but then again that is not why they wanted control of Congress. They already pledged to their wealthy donors that their intent was to take from the people and the federal government to give to the rich and powerful and they kept their promise.
It is impossible to account for everything Republicans intend on stealing from the people in their first week’s activities, but there are a few specific groups who stand to lose something major. Due to their inclination to pander to the religious right, Republicans followed up their 2011 crusade to rob women of their healthcare rights with another theft of their right to reproductive health care. This week Republicans introduced a ridiculous proposal to ban abortions because evangelicals assert (falsely) that fetuses experience pain at 20 weeks; even though at 20 weeks a fetus’s nervous system is undeveloped. Although Republicans are “taking” a woman’s legal right to choose her own reproductive health, there is no material reward for religious fanatics who elected Republicans to take women’s rights away. Evangelicals will gain nothing except a greater measure of control over women that is as important to the righteous and Catholic bishops as tangible property or money; it is precisely why the Founding Fathers did not create America as a Christian theocracy.
Republicans also passed a rule banning the transfer of funds within the Social Security Trust to rob beneficiaries of their rightful due, and to hasten a GOP-created crisis to privatize Social Security. Wall Street, the Koch brothers, ALEC and the Heritage Foundation have lusted to get their hands on Americans’ retirement accounts, not just Social Security either, that Republicans are ready to hand over to Wall Street. The Koch brothers have tasked ALEC and its sister organization, the State Policy Network, to create legislation in the states to rob retirement funds and transform the money into tax cuts for the rich; it is exactly what Sam Brownback is doing in Kansas.

And makes them sitting ducks for anyone who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
I just threw up in my mouth:
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney met with a group of big Republican donors Friday and uttered five surprising words: “I want to be president.” His words to about 30 donors were immediately leaked to the press, which ate up what on its face appears to be a reversal from previous statements, in which the 2008 and 2012 contender seemed to dismiss another run at the presidency. But Romney told donors that his wife, Ann, changed her mind and is now “very encouraging” about a presidential run, although his sons remain split, reports the Washington Post.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/romney-to-gop-donors-i-want-to-be-president/2015/01/09/ce5f821a-9848-11e4-aabd-d0b93ff613d5_story.html?tid=pm_politics_pop
What the heck is Mitt Romney doing?
Delete...Let's start by making clear what he's not doing: Running for president -- at least not yet.
No one -- not even those most bullish on the prospect of Romney, part 3 -- believe that Romney has made up his mind to run. But, it's clear he is more interested in the possibility of a race than he was even a few months ago and wants to preserve the right to make his own decision.
What he sees -- and wants to stop -- is the momentum in the major donor community toward former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has been the most aggressive potential candidate in the 2016 field since the 2014 midterms ended. Bush, according to one report, has set a goal of raising $100 million over the first three months of 2015 in hopes of convincing lots of other candidates that making the race is a fool's errand.
By making very clear that he's on the fence about another race, Romney freezes some not-insignificant portion of the Republican major donor base -- especially in New York and New Jersey. Rather than signing on with Jeb in the next weeks or months, many of those money men and women will wait to see what Romney does before doing anything.
So, Romney is really buying himself -- and, whether intentionally or not, the rest of the potential field -- some time. He's taking the Bush pot off of boil and turning it down to simmer.
Which then raises this question: Why?

DeletePALIN FAMILY COOKOFF - PET RECIPE CHALLENGE The producers of CELEBRITY CHOPPED and THRILLA IN WASILLA are ready to roll out a new series on multiple small cable networks starring the ever present Palin family. The whole family cooks up their favorite 100% meat recipes using only Alaska grown critter meat which includes a large variety of hunted wild game, domestic stock and roadkill. Roadkill is a popular source of meat in Alaska because it stays fresh in the freezing temperatures until retrieved free by anyone for cooking or storage.

ReplyDeletePastor: I punched a kid ‘as hard as I could’ for ‘not taking the Lord serious’
Pastor Eric Dammann begins by saying that he met a young man in Calgary named “Ben,” who was “a nice kid, but one of those — he was a real smart aleck. He was a bright kid, which didn’t help things — made him more dangerous.”
“We were outside one day at youth group,” Dammann continues, “and he was just trying to push my buttons. He was just kind of not taking the Lord serious [sic].”
“So I walked over to him and went BAM! Punched him in the chest as hard as I could. I crumpled the kid. I just crumpled him.”
“Then I leaned over and said, ‘Ben, when are you going to stop playing games with God?’ I led that man to the Lord right there,” he concludes.

Not to worry. As soon as the Republicans revoke the child labor laws we won't need public schools any more. The rich, white elite's children will go to private schools where they can do whatever they want including metal detectors and armed guards. Everyone else's children can go out and get a job.
ReplyDeleteHad to include his mugshot, huh? Yeah, it'll work just as well as those "drug free" school zones do, but we don't need to bring attention to it. What we desperately need is more armed people at every school (We're talking Kentuckystan, right?) The way to stop gun violence and death is fewer guns, not more, These asswipes remind me of woody allen beating the dough with a broom, and it keeps growing and growing. We need to stop the insanity, seriously.
ReplyDeleteIt never ceases to amaze me how uneducated the so-called liberal elites are. Mass shootings in schools quadrupled after the gfsza was passed. The only thing that law accomplished was making schools more vulnerable to mass shooters who don't abide by the law anyway, and cause the heartbreaking and cruel loss of children's lives so Bush, then Clinton could say they tried to make a difference. They made a difference, sure. A lot more dead children. Anyone who doesn't support repealing this abomination of a law is by definition contributing to the continuing carnage. Violent crime is way down, folks, except in places where law abiding citizens are prevented from legally carrying their firearm. Can anyone say Aurora, Colorado? Shooter bypassed three other theaters that allowed carry and murdered his victims in one that did not. Criminals are afraid of armed victims. That's why they target unarmed ones.
