Not a day goes by that I don't want to spit on or give the finger to Republicans. And I don't care if I offend any of you like-minded ones out there. What is the matter with them? Where's their logic? Where's their sense of humanity?
Who made them gods? Why are they so spiteful?
Republicans in the House of Representatives (and they don't represent me), are proposing, moving, and (will be) passing laws that defy my definition of sanity.
The Republican-controlled House:
--voted to shield greenhouse-gas polluters from federal regulators (Friday). (Ted Poe, R-Texas)
--voted to shield privately owned colleges from federal regulations.
--voted to block federal funds from going to Planned Parenthood. (Mike Pence, R-IN) (Leading story on ABC News)
--moved to block the Obama administration from enforcing a proposed regulation setting requirements for schools in order for their student to receive federal loans or grants.
(John Kline, R-Minn.)
--proposed cutting budgets for the EPA, while allowing (for example) cement industries to continue emitting high doses of deadly mercury into the atmosphere.
Where are their priorities? Why are they so selfish? We know the answer--politics (to be elected).
It's not any better at the state or local level.
In my home state, "three bills that would make Indiana's abortion laws among some of the strictest in the nation moved forward (Thurs)." That will make us "One of the most pro-life states in the U.S." During the procedings, two Democratic lawmaker abruptly left the room after a series of testimonials based more on religion than science.
Again, in my state, the state Senate approved a bill (by a 38-12 margin) that would not allow local governments to regulate firearms, meaning it would be okay to bring a gun to a Colts football game, or any other sporting event! Is this crazy, or is it just me?????
We know what's happening in Wisconsin. Thankfully, the Democrats are listening to the Union workers, teachers, police, etc., and are fighting back in a method that displeases the Rebublicans (poor babies).
These atrocities are only the tip of the iceburg. If you watch MSNBC any evening, you'll get plenty more of the bizarro world of fundamentalist believing, righteous mouthing, hypocritical right wingers. It's enough to make one mad as hell, and sick as well. ( a little poetry to end my rant.)
