Colorado Senators Want Gays to “Choose” Jesus Over Their Partners

Two Christian state senators debating Colorado’s civil union bill – Senate Bill 2 – yesterday decided to quote Bible passages and proselytize from the Senate floor, including telling gay people to choose Jesus over their same-sex partner.

“I truly believe Jesus is a better answer than Senate Bill 2,” Senator Scott Renfroe told his colleagues  – and every Colorado citizen. Choose Jesus over the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, Renfroe says. Because, apparently, Senator Renfroe is under the mistaken idea that Colorado citizens elected him to minister to their lives, to be a theocrat, to make his interpretation of the Bible the law of the land in Colorado.

“This bill tears at the very fabric of our morality and our society,” Renfroe added.

Really? Civil unions tear “at the very fabric of our morality and our society”? Your morality is rather weak, in that case, Senator. And it shows.

Renfroe’s colleague, Senator Kevin Lundberg joined him in quoting scripture, asking, “How do we deal with, or what is the attitude toward those who choose homosexuality over heterosexuality?”

How do you deal with those who “choose” homosexuality?

How about you make them equal citizens? How about you treat them the exact same way you treat every other person? How about you “deal” them a fair hand?

I’m more angry at the people of Colorado who elected these two wing nuts than I am at them. Theocrats are dangerous, un-American and anti-America.

Senator Scott Renfroe has claimed public schools are “feminizing” boys and compared homosexuality to murder.

And if you think these radical religious wing nuts are just in Colorado and don’t affect you, Senator Kevin Lundberg is trying to run against U.S. Rep. Jared Polis.

White House Plans to Veto CISPA

The White House today escalated its opposition to a cybersecurity-related surveillance bill with a formal veto threat.

In a new statement, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget said that the CISPA bill endangered Americans’ privacy and inappropriately shielded private companies from liability.

The statement suggests that CISPA — also known as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act — goes too far by giving the National Security Agency too much power:

TSA Defends Of Crying 4-Year-Old Girl Airport

 

WICHITA, Kan. — The grandmother of a 4-year-old girl who became hysterical during a security screening at a Kansas airport said Wednesday that the child was forced to undergo a pat-down after hugging her, with security agents yelling and calling the crying girl an uncooperative suspect.

The incident has been garnering increasing media and online attention since the child’s mother, Michelle Brademeyer of Montana, detailed the ordeal in a public Facebook post last week. The Transportation Security Administration is defending its agents, despite new procedures aimed at reducing pat-downs of children.

The child’s grandmother, Lori Croft, told The Associated Press that Brademeyer and her daughter, Isabella, initially passed through security at the Wichita airport without incident. The girl then ran over to briefly hug Croft, who was awaiting a pat-down after tripping the alarm, and that’s when TSA agents insisted the girl undergo a physical pat-down.

Isabella had just learned about “stranger danger” at school, her grandmother said, adding that the girl was afraid and unsure about what was going on.

“She started to cry, saying `No I don’t want to,’ and when we tried talking to her she ran,” Croft said. “They yelled, `We are going to shut down the airport if you don’t grab her.’”

But she said the family’s main concern was the lack of understanding from TSA agents that they were dealing with a 4-year-old child, not a terror suspect.

“There was no common sense and there was no compassion,” Croft said. “That was our biggest fault with the whole thing – not that they are following security procedures, because I understand that they have to do that.”

Brademeyer, of Missoula, Mont., wrote a public Facebook post last week about the April 15 incident, claiming TSA treated her daughter “no better than if she had been a terrorist.” The posting was taken down Wednesday. Another post said the family had filed formal complaints with the TSA and the airport.

The TSA released a statement Tuesday saying it explained to the family why additional security procedures were necessary and that agents didn’t suspect or suggest the child was carrying a firearm.

“TSA has reviewed the incident and determined that our officers followed proper screening procedures in conducting a modified pat-down on the child,” the agency said.

 

Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party Candidate Says Obama Irrational On Marijuana, Medical or Otherwise

 

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, a physician and public health advocate:

“A win/win solution is within reach if we can just shake off the Bush/Obama past and embrace a rational, effective drug policy for the 21st century.”

At the 420 rally in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Stein addressed tens of thousands of marijuana reform advocates. Dr. Stein declared that one of her first actions as President would be to “order the DEA and the Justice Department to cease and desist all attempts to harass or prosecute medical marijuana clinics or other legitimate marijuana-related businesses that are operating under state laws.”

Stein asserted that hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer from chronic pain and cancers are benefitting from medical marijuana. It has been deemed legal in 13 states.

Stein criticized Michele Leonhart, a Bush appointee who Obama has promoted to head of the DEA. Leonhart has been behind the “overzealous” attacks on medical marijuana.

“The President promised us change, but in promoting Michele Leonhart he gave us more of the same. One of the first things I would do as President would be to fire Michele Leonhart.”

Stein stresses the injustice of the DEA placing marijuana in the most dangerous category of drugs (Schedule 1) along with heroin and LSD. She said that she would direct the DEA to remove marijuana from Schedule 1 and place it in a more appropriate category as determined by medical science.

“President Obama promised to use a science-based approach to public policy. But when it comes to marijuana, he has continued the unscientific policies of George Bush, and has even gone far beyond Bush in his attacks upon medical marijuana clinics. He supports the irrational classification of marijuana in the most dangerous drug category, and he supports the ban on commercial hemp growing. This is mania-based policy, not science-based policy.”

 

Senator Bernie Sanders uses the Gifford Shooting to Fundraise… really?

Senator Bernie Sanders uses the Gifford Shooting to Fundraise recently in a letter that was sent out by his office. All of the idiots that have been trying to make this horrific incident about right and left should be removed from office. This guy was not in his right mind when he went and shot up the safeway parking lot that morning. But I guess we can say that wierd ole Bernie Sanders isn’t in his right mind either. Why would you take shots at the GOP and Talk Radio for spewing disagreements with the path of our country? It seems to a lot of these old school liberals that everyone spews hate IF they are not in agreement with them. Rep. Grayson comes to mind, Mr. Weiner comes to mind, the list would fill up stupid senators. So I digress…

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., sent out an appeal that questions whether “right-wing reactionaries, through threats and acts of violence, intimidated people with different points of view from expressing their political positions.”

Sanders goes on to cite the death of U.S. District Judge John Roll in last weekend’s shooting spree, which left Giffords, D-Ariz., gravely wounded as examples of such violence. Sanders mentioned in the fundraising letter that his friend Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., had to shut down his congressional office last summer after someone shot a bullet through it.

All I can say is ” What A Douche”. This Loughner fellow was ticked off at Gifford since 2007, way before Palin came on the scene, let’s not shift blame and make crap up. The Targets on the map have been used over and over by both sides of the Aisle for years. But since the liberals felt it was a good reason to take a potshot at Palin they decided to make themselves look like morons.

Senator Sanders definitely takes the 1st Stupid Senator Award of 2011. Do Not Campaign on the misfortunes of others, let these people Mourn in peace. And do not try to use a tragedy like this and Beg for peoples money, and spew filth out of your mouth when in your Begging Letter you are doing the exact same thing that your supposedly so

NO BUDGET, but Congress finds time to regulate the volume of tv commercials

The Senate late Wednesday unanimously passed a bill to require television stations and cable companies to implement industry standards capping the volume of commercials and equalizing the volume between ads and other programming.

So glad they got that taken care of for me. Actually, I would rather them regulate the volume of my tv and not pass a budget. Who needs a budget.

Racial Slurs from Saxby Chambliss’s Office?

Saxby Chambliss is coming under heavy fire from the Senate Sergeant at Arms for Gay Slurs that may have been placed on blogs by one of his staffers.

The slur was posted Tuesday afternoon to an online article on Joe.My.God about the Senate’s failure to advance a bill repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law, which prevents gays from serving openly in the military.

The comment, “All faggots must die,” was posted by a user going by the name of “Jimmy.”

blog author Joe Jervis looked up the sender’s IP address and posted it, apparently on a whim.

“I very uncharacteristically checked its IP, which I normally don’t do,” he said. “I have a lot of IT geeks among my readers and they geo-located it immediately. … It was definitely coming through an official federal U.S. Senate server.”

Jervis said his readers traced the address to the local office of either Chambliss or Sen. Johnny Isakson, both Georgia Republicans. The offices are located next to one another.

“My army of geeks was unable to penetrate it directly to the specific computer,” Jervis said.

Isakson’s office flatly denied being the source of the remark, telling FoxNews.com the address “does not match any computer assigned to our office.”

A Chambliss spokeswoman, though, said the incident is under review.

I guess the moral of this story is Don’t make slurs towards Gay Geeks who know how to Trace an IP address. But even better is that the Senator and his staff seem to be trying to sweep this under the rug. Not such a great time in this political season to be making disparaging remarks against any voter blocks.

Maybe the Senator should make his whole staff sit through all three of the High School Musicals and some re-runs of Fame!

Harry Reid thinks she is Hot!

Well the election cycle is in full effect! Time for incumbents to limit their gaffes, get more face time and appeal to their bases.
Well that is the goal for most politicians. But not ole Harry Reid. For someone who has been representing his fine state since 1983, you would think he would know how to utilize some type of damage control. It was reported today that while referring to U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand calling her the “hottest” member of the Senate. It has caused quite a controversy with the feminine, anti-sexist crowd. The gaffes just really keep coming. He, we would think would be more focused on fixing his states 14+% unemployment rate, 25% underwater/foreclosure rates instead of eyeballing one of his pretty co-workers. Well I guess it is best he said ” She was Hot” instead of calling his Pet in Deleware Hot.
