Nothing says the gubmint should stay the hell out of the people’s business quite like the State policing uteri in vitro. And nothing says jobs jobs and more jobs quite like restricting reproductive rights. Which helps explain why small government poser and spawn of Paul, aka Rand, has a critical addition to a routine bill on flood insurance:
Politico— The Senate’s flood insurance program looked like it was headed toward smooth passage – but now, there appears to be an abortion-related wrinkle.
Yes, abortion.
That’s at least according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who said Tuesday that a Republican senator is insisting on a vote on an amendment defining “when life begins.” Reid didn’t name the senator, but it was Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who had offered the amendment.
In some ways Ron Paul the senior is a breath of fresh air in a party that could use refreshing more than a lalapalooza port-a-potty — not that it’s hard to stand out as rational on anything in that group of creepy, pseudo-religious clowns and sociopaths. But junior is a real nasty piece of work with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. A privileged brat of a career politician who whines about spending, a medical doctor turned teaparty champion trying to pretend he doesn’t understand the basic biology he studied for years or the concept of limited government he and his crew preach like Gospel, and who is downright gleeful at the prospect of denying fellow his Americans the barest minimum of healthcare. What an ugly little piece of shit.
There’s such a thing as an
in vitro uterus?
Color me surprised.
OTOH, you know your earlier blogpost only mentioned government action against
in vivo uteri
and the persons with whom those uteri are integrated, right?
Okay. Just thought I’d clear that up.
The Uteri or Uterati is an obscure blog term for people who are obsessed with policing womens’ uteruses. Kinda like illuminati I guess.

No, in no way is he a positive anything. He’s just another insane idiot, although he has the privilege of being seen as the outspoken underdog and therefore being able to reel in supposed ‘libertarians’ and other anti-everything people.
That you could say anything positive about Paul on FtB is pretty hilarious. Remind me again. What doesn’t he believe in? Evolution? Vaccination? Climate change? Abortion? There’s no excuse for being that dumb, and it certainly does NOT represent “Freethought”.
(which looks pretty fecking ugly as a single word, anyway)
I don’t think that graf was exactly a ringing endorsement of Ron Paul, or could be construed as positive beyond the exceedingly narrow qualifiers provided. And I am not the only blogger on this network to note he is an ocassional voice of reason in a caucus that has precious little reason going for it.

The world isn’t that black and white.
Is a creationist anti-vaxx climate change denying prohibitionist equally awful compared to a creationist anti-vaxx climate change denying anti-prohibition activist?
Obviously not. It’s possible for one instance of terrible to be less bad than another instance. That’s how I took the “breath of fresh air” remark.
