Anybody here worried about the safety of those kids in the earthquake?

Their parents aren't worried.

Yes, rumor is that the Democrats are going to introduce a bill accusing the Republicans of causing the earthquake in an attempt to assault the female child. After all, Republican's support Violence Against Women.

more importantly, in congress and obama's world:

You Can’t Occupy This
The government says the anti-protest bill was just a small tweak of the existing law. Don’t believe it.
By Dahlia Lithwick and Raymond Vasvari

Posted Monday, March 19, 2012, at 6:25 PM ET

The law purports to update an old law, Section 1752 of Title 18 of the United States Code, that restricted areas around the president, vice president, or any others under the protection of the Secret Service. The original law was enacted in 1971 and amended in 2006. At first blush, the big change here is that while the old law made it a federal offense to "willfully and knowingly" enter a restricted space, now prosecutors need only show that you did it "knowingly"—that you knew the area was restricted, even if you didn’t know it was illegal to enter the space. This has been characterized in some quarters as a small technical change that hardly warrants an arched eyebrow, much less a protest.

But it’s important to understand what has changed since the original law was enacted in 1971, because it shows how much a tiny tweak to the intent requirement in a statute can impact the free speech of everyone.

For one thing, the law makes it easier for the government to criminalize protest. Period. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, it’s almost impossible to predict what constitutes “disorderly or disruptive conduct” or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”

The types of events and individuals warranting Secret Service protection have grown exponentially since the law was enacted in 1971. Today, any occasion that is officially defined as a National Special Security Event calls for Secret Service protection. NSSE’s can include basketball championships, concerts, and the Winter Olympics, which have nothing whatsoever to do with government business, official functions, or improving public grounds. Every Super Bowl since 9/11 has been declared an NSSE.

So, it's "no" for you. Duly noted

Some more "Republican" news from today ... this is not "all" Republicans, it is from the "effing idiotic moron" wing of the party:

Chuck Winder, Idaho Lawmaker, Suggests Women Use Rape As Excuse For Abortions

Posted: 03/20/2012 11:49 am Updated: 03/20/2012 5:05 pm

The sponsor of an Idaho mandatory ultrasound bill, state Sen. Chuck Winder, made some highly controversial comments Monday during his closing arguments, suggesting women might falsely use rape as an excuse to obtain an abortion.

Just before the Idaho's Senate passed the bill, which requires woman to have an ultrasound prior to obtaining an abortion, opponents of the bill pointed out that it makes no exception for rape victims, incest victims or women in medical emergencies.

Winder, a Republican from Boise, responded to those concerns by raising the question of whether women understand when they have been raped.

“Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this," Winder said on the Senate floor. "I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that's part of the counseling that goes on.”

Are we on the hook for medical bills now?

Thankfully they're much better than the reporter in Egypt you deemed OK!

Thankfully they're much better than Laura Logan in Egypt you deemed - multiple times because Dell couldn't "get it" - glad she was alive, not murdered, and glad that she'd recover, which she did!

FTFY.

Same explanation I've given you the multiple other times you've deliberately lied trying to misrepresent my opinion about Lara's horrible attack.

Oh! You go read that Politico article 'Zig referenced about voters in the other thread. It applies directly to you and your demonstrable thought processes.

I'm sorry I misread your retraction.

I take your constant rants on free BC coverage and bashing the US while at the same time ignoring the real atrocities happening all over the world including here disgusting.

Look, as I've said before, if including BC coverage in a health care plan is cheaper to the insurance company, no law dictating such is required.

Which "big countries" do you speak of? The ones in Europe that are smaller than a lot of states here? Or China, India and Russia?

Out of the countries you list, which are the most advanced within the paradigms of 21st century?

Reading: it's hard not to parse ridiculously

So India then? You cannot continue to compare this country and its issues with the other "big countries" of the world as the problems facing it are so very different. Our illegal population that is under the care of the federal government is larger than the population of some European nations, which if you haven't noticed are collapsing under their own very light weight.

[Antitrust32]

I was gonna say... Europe is doing so well economically... we should definately strive to be like them.

Ah. First you use one definition of "big", then you switch to another here. Then you segue to attacking illegal aliens, then the Euopean financial crisis.

Very well done. But has nothing to do with what I posted about

Only because you never answer a question. It is fkn pointless to even try to converse with you.

Which countries even compare to what we are?

It's kind of ridiculous to have to explain to someone what a first world country is.
