What are Republican States Doing?

[LoveLife&Laughter]

Just a few from today's news...

1.  Virginia has outlawed anything and everything except the missionary position for married heterosexual couples.

2.  Kansas has outlawed abortion after three weeks.

3.  North Dakota will reduce the $189/mo by 30% for any family whose kid doesn't get passing grades.  I guess they figure a hungrier colder kid then will learn his long division.

They've HEARD of them...They just don't BELIEVE in them, the same way they don't believe in equal pay for equal work, keeping the state and church separate or in daily bathing.

Ohio lawmakers don't want teachers to even talk about sex in school

11 hrs ago

Perhaps the thinking is, if nobody tells kids about sex, they won't have sex. In Ohio, where Republicans in the state House added an amendment to budget bill that would prevent health classes in public schools from any mention of sexual activity, or from dispensing contraception. The amendment prohibits learning about what they term "gateway sexual activity," which includes all sexual contact, and sex ed teachers could be fined thousands of dollars if kids come home knowing a little something about nookie. Or their bodies. Or the opposite sex's bodies. The bill is expected to go for a full vote Thursday. [Source]

Good.  Maybe they'll stop calling us D***s and C***s...

It's the typical, mystical moralizer's response to an uncomfortable issue that just won't go away: Retreat further into the fantasy world, ignore the issue, hope it will just go away and punish anybody unafraid to actually address it.

The way they see it, if parents are too repressed and gutless to talk to their children about one of the fundamental aspects of human life, then why should their tax dollars be used to combat their own stupidity ? Not when keeping everybody as ignorant and ashamed as themselves can be had for FREE ?

Oklahoma pol says he regrets 'Jew' insult

okhouse.gov

Oklahoma State Rep. Dennis Johnson

An Oklahoma lawmaker says an insulting comment he made about Jews "came out of the wrinkles of my brain" and he regrets it.

State Rep. Dennis Johnson was talking about bill on sale-pricing at retail outlets on the House floor on Wednesday when used a derogatory turn that refers to bargaining down a price, the Associated Press reported.

Several of his colleagues objected and Johnson offered an apology, albeit tin-eared, saying, "Jews run good small businesses, too."

Johnson told the AP he later apologized to the House speaker and offered to apologize again on the floor.

"I made an offhand reference that was inappropriate, and I know that it hurt some folks. I acknowledge that. I regret that. I apologize for it," he said. "I'm almost 60 years old, and it's a phrase that was used when I was kid, and it was used often.

Oklahoma state Rep. Dennis Johnson (R-Duncan) apologized Wednesday for recently using the phrase "Jew me down."

While speaking on the virtues of small business in debate over a bill Wednesday, he said, "They might try to Jew me down on a price. That's fine ... that's free market as well." He was then handed a note about fifteen seconds later.

"Did I?" he said to a colleague.

"I apologize to the Jews," he said to laughs. "They're good small businessmen as well."

Johnson expanded on his apology to The Oklahoman. "It just came out of one of the wrinkles of my brain and it was not something that was intentional,” Johnson said. “I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone and I apologize for the folks I did offend. It is a comment that should never be made. I will never do it again."

Johnson was not the first lawmaker to have to apologize for using the phrase, an offensive term for haggling. Texas state Rep. Larry Taylor (R- Friendswood) apologized in 2011 for urging an insurance association to treat policyholders well and not try to "Jew them down."
