Virginia predicts need for more prison beds if oral sex is banned for teens

A Republican lawmaker in Virginia has proposed re-criminalizing oral and anal sex — but only for teenagers.

State senator Thomas Garrett, who calls himself a “Cuccinelli Conservative,” filed a bill on Wednesday to “amend and reenact § 18.2-361 of the Code of Virginia, relating to crimes against nature.”

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a bid by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to re-establish the ban on oral and anal sex in his state. The law had previously been declared to be uncons utional by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

In its 2003 Lawrence v. Texas decision, the Supreme Court had ruled that all sodomy laws were uncons utional, but Cuccinelli argued that the ruling did not apply to minors.

Garrett hopes to get around the Supreme Court’s ruling by applying his bill only to non-adults.

“Any person who (i) carnally knows in any manner any brute animal, or (ii) carnally knows any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be is guilty of a Class 6 felony,” the bill says. “The provisions of clause (ii) shall not apply where all persons are consenting adults who are not in a public place and who are not committing, attempting to commit, conspiring to commit, aiding, or abetting any act in furtherance of pros ution.”

the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission has just completed an impact study and determined that extra prison beds would be required to house the sodomy offenders if the law was passed.

The statement estimated that it would cost taxpayers at least $50,000, but said it was impossible to predict how many more prison beds would be required over a six-year period.

Gohmert: Judges Ruling In Favor Of Gay Marriage Need 'Basic Plumbing Lessons'

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Tuesday said that judges who have struck down state bans on same-sex marriage, like those in Utah and Oklahoma, need "basic plumbing lessons."

Gohmert said that these judges are denying the biological reasons for restricting marriage to between a man and a woman.

"'Basically, we haven't seen any biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman,'" he said, summarizing the judges' rulings during a Heritage Foundation event, according to Roll Call.

And so the Texas representative said that the judges "need some basic plumbing lessons."

Noah Took a Baby Dinosaur on the Ark? 5 Extremist Christian "Science" Teachings

Accelerated Christian Education is a fundamentalist school curriculum used in a claimed 6,000 schools and 145 countries.

Despite the name, education is actually second to its stated primary purpose, which is "to diligently teach our children to love the Lord in every sphere of their lives, with all their hearts, all their souls, and all their minds," according to its website.

ACE explicitly says its intention is that students should not have any knowledge of anything contrary to the Bible. In practice, students are taught gross distortions and misrepresentations of mainstream science, like these 33 bizarre multiple choice questions from the ACE coursework. Here's a look at the some of the blatant mistruths ACE teaches.

here's a racist NRA hero to racist gun fellators

Ted Nugent writes insanely racist Op-Ed about the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Even for Ted Nugent, who once wrote that America’s African-American community has “a mindless tendency to violence,” this one is bad.

Writing at the bat insane right-wing fever swamp of a site known as WorldNetDaily, Nugent claimed on Wednesday that a viral video of a young child cursing was representative of all the ways black people in America had failed to live up to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

“Just when you think it can’t get any uglier,” Nugent begins, “some street rat will slither out of the sewer and do something that shocks even the most hardened and calloused among us, me included.” He goes on to argue that the video showed “the continuing and unbroken cycle of street-rat savagery” and that the boy’s family (he uses scare quotes around the word) “is a bunch of gangster thugs, punks, degenerates and criminals.”

---

---

As much as the video bothered Nugent, however, the former rock star writes that it represents just “the tip of the black gangster iceberg.” He goes on to argue that “[h]igh school dropout rates, illegitimacy and other culture rot is a black plague that has engulfed the black community” and that this tsunami of dysfunction is “the result of Fedzilla’s $16 trillion and 50-year-old so-called war on poverty, which created a cycle of dependency, destruction and culture rot for black America.”

Finally getting to how any of this dehumanizing and blatantly bigoted rhetoric relates to Martin Luther King Jr., Nugent proclaims that African-Americans cannot “honestly celebrate the legacy of Dr. King” until they “admit to the self-inflicted destructo-derby they are waging and begin to tell their liberal Democratic slave drivers to take a hike.”

Requiring an ID to Eat?! The Right-Wing's Next Crazy Plot Against Low-Income Americans

Under a bill Vitter introduced Wednesday , beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would be denied their food if they are unable to show a photographic identification card at the register. For millions of low-income Americans who don’t have an official photo ID and can’t necessarily afford to buy one, Vitter’s bill would mean being cut off from their primary food source.

Estimates of how many people are without the kind of ID Vitter wants to require are a bit fuzzy, as researchers have tended to focus on the issue in the context of voting rights, but multiple surveys have found that around 10 percent of the voting public doesn’t have a state-issued ID. One survey of voting-age citizens in 2006 put the ID-less proportion of the population at 11 percent, meaning that more than 21 million people nationwide likely lack photo ID, and found that one in four African-Americans surveyed had no ID.

At 1 percent, SNAP fraud rates pale in comparison to the rate of fraud in the farm assistance programs that conservatives like Vitter are attempting to shelter from cuts in the ongoing farm bill fight.

And of course Vitter won't pay to give people an a photo ID.

Republican lawmaker uses “thoughts of God himself” in speech denouncing abortion

Rather than use his own thoughts, Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., decided to use “the thoughts of God himself” during a Wednesday speech on the House floor denouncing abortion. (Rand Paul likes to steal his remarks from Wikipedia; plagiarizing God is slightly more audacious, no?)

“Today, Mr. Speaker, we sit in a Chamber that has above your rostrum the motto of the United States of America that says ‘In God We Trust,’” Walberg said.

“And so rather than going on with further comments that I would make from my own thoughts, I would turn to the thoughts of God himself, more specifically words that were uttered by a man, a king, a very wise king who was very human, as well, a king who was classified by God himself as being a man after My own heart.

And so what this man would say or would think if he were honored by God with that statement would be something we should hear.”

Walberg then read Psalm 139, which says nothing about abortion, but is often used by anti-choice activists to justify their efforts to restrict women’s access to basic healthcare.

First, he’s worried that poor people can buy weed with food stamps (they can’t). (TGB aka, all the poor are criminal frauds and must not be helped)

Second, he fears that demons are getting you high. Seriously.

Fox News Host Says Americans Don’t Know Their History, Then Makes Up Some American History

Andrea Tantaros — host of Fox News’ The Five — claimed on Wednesday that Americans are less free because they don’t know their history. Then she helpfully gave a perfect example of how Americans don’t know their history.

“If you ask most people, they don’t even know why we left England,” she said. “They don’t even know why some guy in Boston got his head blown off because he tried to secretly raise the tax on tea. Most people don’t know that.”

She went on to say that this has led to lawmakers “doing whatever they want, nobody checks them, there’s no responsibility. If we don’t know why we got here, if we don’t know why we fought and died, how are we going to fight for it?”

“Yeah, it’s a good point,” her co-host Greg Gutfeld said.

“Early-American history experts were generally puzzled over what Tantaros was talking about…”PolitiFact said in its attempt to fact check Tantaros’ statement.

Author Chris Mooney found seven studies that confirm Fox News viewers as consistently the most misinformed of any news channel. It seems they’re nearly as misinformed as the channel’s hosts.

Ted Nugent: ‘Subhuman mongrel’ Obama should get ‘just due punishment’ for treason

Conservative rocker Ted Nugent said recently that he wouldn’t rest until President Barack Obama — who he called a “subhuman mongrel” — and of the all “liberal Democrats” had gotten the “just due punishment” that they deserved for treason.

In an interview with Guns.com last week, Nugent said that him winning the presidency in 2016 would be “the perfect ballet of freedom.”

Nugent, who is a National Rifle Association (NRA) board member and a spokesperson for the Outdoor Channel, opined that he would be the best candidate because “our politicians check their scrotums at the door. Even Hillary. But Obviously, she has spare scrotums.”

He went on to apologize to members of the military for allowing “a commander in chief who is the enemy” to take over the country.

“I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America,” Nugent continued. “I think America will be America again when Barack Obama, [Attorney General] Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, [Sen.] Durbin, [former New York City Mayor] Michael Bloomberg and all of the liberal Democrats are in jail facing the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent.”

The Motor City Madman added that his rhetoric was less “inflammatory” than the so-called scandal over the 2011 terrorist attacks at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

“What difference does that make?” he asked. “Not to a chimpanzee or Hillary Clinton, I guess it doesn’t matter.”
