It’s just about time that somebody messed with Texas.

Ummn, what about flirting? Is that still legal?

Yeah, this is getting way out of control, from text books to this . .

Thank Dawg for Austin, though . . . .

I don’t buy from Texas vendors. It’s the least I can do.

Where’s the bit about the return of lynching?

This must be why Rethugs keep getting caught doin’ weird stuff in public bathrooms, with diapers and hookers and have a difficult time keeping it in their pants.

Banning strip clubs in Dallas and Houston is fine on Sunday morning. Trying to close them on Saturday night will be laughable, which means that this is bread and circuses for the base. The patricians will enjoy their unadulterated sex at will.

Yup. I think they think, “if only this was illegal, maybe I would stop doing it.”

It’s interesting, yes, that the Texas Rethuglican Party thinks that “smaller government” equals turning the police into peeping toms.

Snort!

So where shall we start the bidding for those photos of Rick Perry and the baggage handlers he picked up from rentboy.com?

Next step, require citizens to acquire a permit for each legal sexual activity.

It’s already illegal here in VA, BT. Been that way for forever.

It’s illegal here to “co-habitate”. It’s illegal to have sex with someone you’re not married to. It’s illegal to have sex with someone else’s spouse. It’s illegal to have oral or anal sex with ANYONE, even if you’re married to them.

Libertarian??? Yeah, right. That’s the libertarian view. We WANT government in our bedrooms! Riiiiiiiiiiight. You know those assholes are good at lying and manipulating when they can somehow convince folks that Republicans are close to Libertarian beliefs. They are only Libertarian in their views toward government as it relates to business. When it comes to government as it relates to the individual, well, libertarian is a long, long way from where Republican/conservatives are.

I remember when the Supreme Court struck down one of the laws banning gay sex, our AG (R at the time) wrote an opinion, and it was one of the few I agreed with him on. He said because the Supreme Court ruled the Georgia law specifically banned sodomy between gay people but not other people that it was unconsitutional, that our law remains valid because it does not descriminate in any way. It is illegal for ANYONE to engage in sodomy.

So, most of our laws are still in effect. IIRC, the co-habitation one might’ve taken a hit with a Supreme Court ruling in the last few years, but that’s the only one I’m aware of.

Operative word = maybe *g*

I presume it’s already against Tejas law to have a functioning fucking brain. What’s next, mayo on fries becomes illegal, you know, ’cause that’s the way the cheese eating surrender monkeys eat them?

Will masturbating to gay fantasies be banned next?

Only if you’re a Republican.

Masterbating (and contraception) are absolutely targets.

Fantasies?!?! Off with his head!

I remember from my early days in the Navy in Norfolk (we used to call it No Fuck) a Chief Petty Officer and his wife were charged by the Norfolk police with sodomy cuz his wife gave him a knobber. He was overheard talking about it.

Should be. *g* Gravy’s ok, though.

Just curious how Lawrence v Texas would be side-stepped here. I suspect that this is what they are referring to when they say

“We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.”

but they don’t really say HOW the expect states to deny jurisdiction to the Feds, since the courts have held this to be a protected Civil Rights issue…

Would that be the big head or…

Aw what the hell. Both of ‘em…

What about gay or role-reversal fantasies between married couples? Texas Republics had better get busy. They have lots of ground yet to cover. They have hardly even started on illegal positions.

That’s right! Let’s not buy from Texans no matter who they are and let’s call all Texans brainless because the state GOP is stark, raving insane. After all, everybody knows that Texas liberals are really sympathetic with and supportive of the Texas Republican Party.

Of course, you know, there was a US Supreme Court ruling which invalidated all sodomy laws in the US. . .let me see. . .oh yes, it was Lawrence v. Texas, and the ruling was 6 to 3 against Texas!

Now, let them try to get a Constitutional Amendment to ban sodomy.

Seriously, I’m torn between this being a Monty Python sketch or Lord Of The Flies. Tejas seems to be run by retarded ten year olds with pee-pee obsessions.

Go away! I’m ‘batin!

OT http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/25/us/25scotus.html?hp=&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1277402677-HaEQnJB/QhjuDxuLvHrkig Supreme Court emasculate another law against corporate crimes futher strengthening the Oligarcy’s power over the people.

Please someone Bmaz) do a post on this asd story from the NYT today. Bankster CEO are celebrating.

Ahhh yes, chips and gravy, Tejan Haute Cuisine. Rather fond of them myself :) or with vinegar, or ketchup…

…run by retarded ten year olds with pee-pee obsessions

AAAHHH, so you know our Gov. then?

Snort! I guess… But noooo , just the mindset.

How are these fools any different than the Taliban?

When their country goes to war, the Taliban volunteer to do the fighting.

[*rimshot*]

Might they be renamed to the “Texas-ban”?

Texas Republicans also want to ban strip clubs and “all pornography.”

I find this most surprising, b/c all these sanctimonious pricks would have to drive to OK or NM or AR or LO for their porn and peepshows.

Oh wait – that would burn a ton of gasoline, and that will help perpetuate the oil industry. Never mind, my bad. Makes perfect sense now.

Nevermind the fact that there’s no legal definition of “pornography” that I’m aware of.

Ya mean “I know it when I see it” doesn’t work?

I guess that would require them to view it just to, ya know, make SURE it isn’t illegal, right?

The world is going to hell in a handbasket and THIS is what’s important in Tejas? Really?? Sheesh. Project much? Distract from reality much?

Shaking my head… not in disbelief but in disdain. Abject failure.

Reminds me of the layman’s definition of “alcoholic”, someone who drinks more than YOU do…

it’s a fellatious argument.

no more Texas Hold-’em…?

That’s a cunning ‘lil post.

Naaaahhhh, that’s a phallusy.

Puns! I love ‘em.

either way it’s a mouthful :~)

there’s a lingus among us?

Ban anal sex in Texas? That doesn’t include cows, does it?

They just want to keep Sodomy where it belongs- prison.

Freud would just lurve him some Texas GOP.

What’s next, mayo on fries becomes illegal, you know, ’cause that’s the way the cheese eating surrender monkeys eat them?

What do you have against the Belgians? Mayo is the preferred topping for Frites there — although there are many choices, including “sauce americaine” (ketchup). Curry and tarter sauce are also popular.

Frites, by the way, is short for “pommes frites” (fried apples), which is short of “pommes de terre frites” (fried Earth apples). Both the French and Dutch/Flemish name for “potato” translates to “Earth apple”.

A web site I used to visit said that a couple of the signs that you had lived in Belgium too long are (1) you order everything “supplément frites” (with a side of fries) and (2) you can name more than 10 sauces for frites.

Texas Republicans also want to ban strip clubs and “all pornography.”

HEY! What about my freedom of religion?

You don’t count.

Momma, don’t let your babies grow up to be reverse-cowboys.

There’s no legal definition of torture either… as far as they’re concerned!

The GOP there has voted on a platform that would ban oral and anal sex.

NOOOOOOOOO WHY GOD WHY

You know this is just going to increase the sale of lime and people ending up buried in some gelatinous blob’s crawl space.

I vote for dumbest law ever. And would that mean that I’m not allowed to get a bj in an airplane bathroom if I’m flying over Texas?

Texas Republicans also want to ban strip clubs

Where will the next Jack Ruby come from when they need him?

Yes. And as the Irish would tell you, if it goes airborne, then it becomes Aer Lingus.

Hee hee!

A new source of tax revenue!

The next time I get a blow job in Teexass remind me not to tell anyone.

I hear they pay lip service to the mile high club.

And would that mean that I’m not allowed to get a bj in an airplane bathroom if I’m flying over Texas?

Wait til you get over the Gulf of Mexico. Still no ban on off shore drilling.

Oh, Rimshot! Or would those be illegal, too, depending on personal definition?

Will masturbating to gay fantasies be banned next?

masturbation thought police

This is why we need pre-crime, a la Minority Report. If they see, in the future, that you are going to engage in anal or oral sex, they can kick in your door and arrest you and put you in hypersleep forever!

This way, they don’t have to actually keep an eye on us. Just use the psychics.

These people are a disgrace to the nation. I really hope we give them back to mexico later this year…

Or would those be illegal, too

Only if you are doing it right.

I need to attend more Republican party meetings down here in the Lone Star State. Apparently all they do is sit around and talk about sex. The Democrats NEVER do that! I had no idea what I’ve been missing being a Democrat all these years….

new ad for hot a** in TX: “Ream ember the Alamo!”

Even as Texas Tepublicans seem hell bent on catching up to that bastion of freedom and democracy, Uganda, the rest of Texas may be wising up.

Texas Governor Rick Perry has lost his early lead over Democratic challenger Bill White and the race is now tied. The movement from a previous PPP poll in February comes entirely from Hispanic voters. PPP reports that:

“With white voters Perry led 54-36 then and leads 55-35 now. With black voters White led 81-12 then and 70 -7 now. But with Hispanics Perry has gone from leading 53-41 to trailing 55-21….there is no doubt the (Arizona) immigration bill is popular nationally. But if it causes Hispanics to change their voting behavior without a parallel shift among whites then it’s going to end up playing to Democratic advantage this fall.”
