The Gay Thing: Louisiana Votes to Retain Sodomy Law

There are pockets of mean and pockets of stupid in this country. And they tend to make news, and they often converge. For what other reason than a blend of stupidity and meanness would a state keep a law on the books that was ruled unconstitutional more than a decade ago? But Louisiana did it, retaining a law against sodomy.

  1. So, then, you would be against ObamaCarebecause of all the intrusions health care professionals questions have to ask. For instance, if you have guns in your house, if a man has harmed his wife/girl friend and your lifestyle.
    Thanks for joining our side.

  3. Dan, it took me a while to figure out what you're talking about! Then I found this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/medicare.asp

  4. Snopes just did Medicare, they didn't check out policies with the ACA.
    I shoul have said their lifestyle- nothing about the gay thing. 3 large beers will do that to a person.
    You're probably right, other than the gay thing, the conservative/liberal thing and your husband has a hell of a lot more exciting job than I have and you are a whole lot smarter than me in IT stuff though you have worse luck), our lives are pretty close.
    Though we do have some things in common, like your dad being a firefighter and I was also, we both live in Henderson, we both migrated from colder weather and probably a lot more, we do have a few things in common.

  5. Dan, seriously, could you give me a straight (not arch conservative) source on these things you mention ObamaCare mandates be asked by doctors? Because I hadn't heard that before.
