THE TALIBAN WING OF THE GOP IS GETTING MORE EXTREME

NOT ONLY DOES THE GOP DESPISE THE POOR, THEY ALSO SHOW COMPLETE CONTEMPT FOR WOMEN WHO ARE COMFORTABLE WITH AND HAVE HEALTHY ATTITUDES TOWARD THEIR SEXUALITY.

MISSOURI HOUSE PASSES BILL THAT PROHIBITS STATE FUNDING FOR CONTRACEPTIVES.

A friend of mine forwarded this piece to me today from the Kansas City Star.

By the way, Pat Buchanan (not exactly one of our liberal or even moderate soul mates) announced last night on Chris Matthew's HARDBALL that Bush will probably hit Iran in October in order to boost the GOP approval ratings. Tell me that I am dreaming. Even the hard nosed and, in my opinion, a closet cheerleader for the GOP, Chris said "I can't believe I am hearing this. " Me neither, at least on the mainstream media. Things are pretty much out of control, don’t you think? LS

MISSOURI HOUSE PASSES BILL PROHIBITING FUNDING FOR BIRTH CONTROL

WOMEN BLOGGERS IN TALABAN GOP RED STATES CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

As we well should be. Next our daughters or granddaughters will be required drop out of school at 13, wear head coverings, long skirts and walk behind their husbands. House of Bush. House of Saud . Or, rather, is it House of Saud, House of Bush? Either way, the imperative seems to be: let ignorance and so-called religious ideology prevail over law and a constitutional government. LS

On the Bible and the Constitution

On Wednesday, March 1st, 2006, in Annapolis at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to testify.

At the end of his testimony, Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said:
"Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?"

Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the
Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

The room erupted into applause
