(Insanity) Elsa, She-Wolf of the Nazis Ann Coulter says universal background checks=universal confiscation.
- The War on Women, cont. - The position of this blog is that there is a war on women, and it is one front in the war on Democracy by Theocrats. Anyway, today’s news from the frontline:
- The Arkansas state House of Representatives voted on Monday for a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks without any exceptions (Raw Story)
- The eight Senators who voted not to consider the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act were: Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Tim Scott (R-SC), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Rand Paul (R-KY), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and James Risch (R-ID)
You might want to write them a love letter or something? (Think Progress)
- Scouting for Boys - While the Boy Scouts Board of Directors met on Monday morning, four Scout leaders from across the country converged on BSA headquarters to deliver 1.4 million petition signatures urging the group to lift its ban on gay Scouts and leaders. (Dallas Voice)
- Dissent in the Rank - And they are very rank: FreedomWorks On New Rove Group: ‘The Empire Is Striking Back’ — which I guess means that the Teabaggers think of themselves as the Rebel Alliance? Anyway, they continue:
The genie is out of the bottle, and politics is permanently more decentralized, more democratic. The future of the GOP are the millions of principled-driven activists who are building a community centered around a set of shared values, and taking their government back at all levels, from the ground up. We are repopulating the GOP, and that process continues unabated.”
Oh. Maybe they are not the Rebel Alliance and Rove is not Darth Vader? Maybe they are Barbara Eden? Does that make Rove into Dr. Bellows? I’m so confused! (Freedom Works via TPM)
Ann Coulter is one of the few human beings who can make me utter the word “cunt.” It’s despicable, and reflects badly on all women.
But then, so does she.
