Yes, I Repeat, No!





















In Virginia a bill, HB825, was just introduced which would prohibited judges and state administrators from using any legal code esstablished outside the US in making decisions.



Meanwhile, in New Hampshire, HB1580 would require “All members of the general court proposing bills and resolutions addressing individual rights or liberties shall include a direct quote from the Magna Carta which sets forth the article from which the individual right or liberty is derived.”


Last time I checked, Runnymede was outside the borders of the USA.


The Uncle can appreciate that the Tea Party folks are made as hell, but shouldn't they try to figure out what it is they're angry about?

Wow you must really hate the Tea Party! Ever go to one of their meetings? Or do you not know what you are talking about?

Was that an attempt to address the contradiction highlighted herein? If so, it was, at best, oblique.

Uncle Betty said...

Allow me to demonstrate another apparent contradiction.

A major complaint from those swept in on the tide of tea is that the government is too intrusive. Those very same folks have now given the people of Virginia a new law requiring that a woman seeking an abortion must first undergo a transvaginal ultrasound even if her doctor sees no reason for it - that is to say, the government demands that doctors penetrate women with a medical probe for no reason. It doesn't get more intrusive than that.

Please explain.

I heard the Tea Party is for mandatory castrations for men who have ladies first names.

All this talk about transvaginal and penetration....I find myself oddly getting hot and sweaty about all this. I must go now.

All our Woodbury neighbors should be made aware that the KJ pipeline has apparently been approved by the New York City DEP. This week the engineers for KJ made a public presentation to the elected officials of Woodbury, Monroe and Harriman in Woodbury Town Hall. They displayed a map of the route the pipeline will take, including Route 32, Ridge Road and Seven Springs Road in Woodbury. What puzzles me is the silence of the local newspaper on this subject, even though it has covered this controversy so thorougly in the past. I am also surprised that Uncle Betty has not made this the subject of a new posting, since his sources are usually pretty good ones. Now it would seem that pressure upon the town for annexation of some lands to KJ will increase. I would appreciate hearing from others on this blog about what they know of these developments. It does not seem likely to me that KJ would pay their engineers to make this presentation if the DEP had not fully approved the project.

The newspapers are silent.
Our elected officials are silent.

Nobody is doing what they are supposed to be doing. Just what did we elect these bimbos for?

Guess everyone forgot about the lawsuit the town initiated.
