Canada even has a flag.

Their flag is 46 years old today.

They even have indoor plumbing …

The Internet in this area went down for about five hours this morning.

Any scientists here? Could it have been caused by the most powerful solar flare in four years?

More insanity from the state of Montana.

Remember I wrote here a couple of weeks ago about how Montana Republicans were trying to REQUIRE women seeking abortions to get an ultrasound?

Well, more craziness from Republicans gone wild.

A bill sponsored by Montana House Majority Leader Tom McGillvray, a Republican, would REQUIRE couples with minor children getting a divorce to first obtain marriage counseling before getting their divorce.

A hearing got held on the bill before a judiciary committee and most of the people speaking in favour of the bill cited religious reasons that marriages need to be preserved.

“This 40-year-old experiment with wide-open, one-sided, no-fault divorce has had a devastating effect on families and especially children,” said Jeff Laszloffy of the Montana Family Foundation.

Of course, that doesn’t address the damage done to children by keeping them in a miserable, unhappy, possibly emotionally abusive household. Sometimes divorce is the best thing for a family, believe it or not.

The couples would have to pay for the counseling out of their own pockets. The bill would waive this requirement if there was PHYSICAL abuse, but says NOTHING about emotional or psychological abuse.

Here is my favourite part of this story. On Tom McGillvray’s own Web site it says:

Most importantly, I will always defend our family values and your parental right to raise your children without government forcing someone else’s values upon them.

Although sometimes it could be a fun game to beat their filters. 😀

I’ve seen an incredible amount of hostility there just toward Canadians.

She’s in “de Nile” about her expertise in Egypt.

47 out of 68 Republicans voted for it.

She’s from a wacky part of Montana.

Isn’t it short for “bit o’ history?”

More craziness from Big Sky Country!

Last week a state legislator went on rant during a debate about the death penalty (the state comes close every legislature to banning the death penalty), that there are HIV-positive prisoners in the state pen who make poison darts by licking spitwads and shooting them at guards.

Here is one of her wacky quotes:

There’s new ways to kill. You know, if a prisoner is HIV-positive, they make little weapons out of pieces of paper. They take their blood, their saliva and do blow darts on the guards. There are new and unique ways to kill!

According to the CDC, no one has ever gotten AIDS from spitting.

Her point is anyone who kills through AIDS spit should be killed via the death penalty.

There’s actually a very popular YouTube video of her insanity.

I wrote in a hissy fit on here a few weeks ago about a bill in the Montana State Legislature that passed out of committee. The bill would’ve required women getting abortions to have an ultrasound done of their fetus, and doctors would be required to show the ultrasound to the mothers … though language was inserted that would protect mothers from being prosecuted if they “averted their eyes from the ultrasound.”

Well, the bill failed in the State House, by a scary close vote of 53-47. It seemed one of the reasons the bill failed is that it violated the Republicans’ policy that government shouldn’t be involved in mandating health care procedures. 😆

One legislator called this bill “science fiction bizarre.” I guess she’s read “The Handmaid’s Tale,” too.

Hi, Mrsmdressup!

In Montana, they’re trying to force women to look at an ultrasound of their baby before they have an abortion. It’s so demeaning.

Everybody stop posting on all kinds of different threads! You’re stressing me out! 😆

They’re very intimidating, though. There’s a lot of extremely intelligent people here.

He brought a FUCKING (excuse my French, but JESUS) gun into an MLB ballpark … numerous times. What is wrong with this drongo. They have security for that!

Wow, so many new people.

I welcome you with open arms and thank you for trying out PPOV. The people here are awfully nice.

This seems to be the only place to leave this comment.

New ballplayer to root against.

I don’t expect professional athletes to be liberal or even particularly politically astute, but this guy is a dingleberry unto his own. We read about this in the Athlon 2011 baseball season preview magazine.

Luke Scott. He plays for the Baltimore Orioles. He brings a firearm to the clubhouse, watches “Braveheart” fanatically, and insists that Barack Obama was not born in America and should be prosecuted for “treacherous acts.”

The good news is, he plays for the Baltimore Orioles, a perennial last place team. Karma is a bitch! 😈

She’s just making that up. Notice she doesn’t cite any examples.

This is really some whack-job gun-nut bill so crazies can go around carrying M-16s and acting like bigshots.

Here’s the link to the citizen militia story. I can’t edit my own posts anymore:

Hookay, it’s official. Republicans have officially gone crazy. At least in Montana.

Not only did Republicans pass a bill out of committee requiring women getting an abortion to be shown an ultrasound (though they would be given the option in which they could avert their eyes from the ultrasound without fear of criminal prosecution, isn’t that nice.), another Republican in Montana has proposed a bill to create citizen volunteer paramilitary guard units.

Ostensibly the point of these units would be to help the police in times of emergency, but the real intent is pretty easy to find here when you see a lot of language from their supporters about the intrusion of the federal government into local matters. They want to create legal militias; they want to make the old Montana Freeman legal again (because you know those are the types who would eagerly form these “volunteer home guard units.”)

Here’s a quote from one of the bill’s supporters, who is also head of the Montana NRA:

“The question here is where that slider is located on that range between anarchy and tyranny. “We’d like to nudge it back a little toward anarchy.”

So this isn’t about bringing more stability to the country, it’s about anarchy?
