Barbara Boxer on the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act

California may be in a shambles, but living here still has a few rewards — Barbara Boxer among them.

By the way, when you get to Sen. Boxer’s floor remarks, notice the letter from Lee Baca — do you remember his name? We certainly do. :)

We Take Time Out from Ragging on Obama for His Passive-Aggressive Homophobia to Go Nuts Over His Shocking Decision to Keep Letting the Polar Bears Drown

Why Does Sarah Palin Hate Polar Bears?

Or:

When Sarah Palin Praises
Your “Sound Science,”
You Know You’ve
Lost All Sense of Reality

Unbelievable. Un-farking— Wait, what am I saying? Nothing The Smartest Guy in the Room does surprises me anymore. But this… this… this is so far beyond the pale, even I’m at a loss for words:

Spineless Damned Dems

There’s going to come a day when I won’t have to comment at all on anything (don’t cream your jeans just yet, Patel*!), because everybody else has finally caught up with us Lefties, and is finally saying everything we’ve been saying since before Commander Cuckoobanas commandeered the republic. Yesterday, it was Bob Roehr; today it’s Doug Thompson:

Scum-sucking traitors to their country

The next time some loudmouth partisan puke Democrat gets in my face and starts yapping about how much better things would be if his party were running the government in Washington, I’m going to pull out the vote tally sheet for the USA Patriot Act in Thursday’s Senate session and ram it down his lying throat.

Where was his party when it came time to take a stand for freedom in this country? Hiding like a coward, that’s where. Only nine Democrats and one independent — former Republican Jim Jeffords — had guts enough to vote against reauthorizing the fascist piece of crap called the Patriot Act.

The rest, including Harry Reid, that scum-sucking capitulator who claims to be the Senate Democratic leader, dropped their pants, bent over, grabbed their ankles and handed George W. Bush the k-y jelly…

What about the leading contender for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination, the so-called “gentle lady from New York,” Hillary Rodham Clinton? Oh, she let Bush and the rest of the Republican party gang bang her like frat boys in a horny drunken brawl. …

This is the opposition party? This is the party that partisans claim will save this country from the abuses and excesses of too many years of Republican domination? …

Only these 10 voted against the act: Daniel Akaka (D-HI), Tom Harkin (D-IA), Carl Levin (D-MI), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), Ron Wyden (D-OR), James Jeffords (I-VT), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Patty Murray (D-WA), Russ Feingold (D-WI), Robert Byrd (D-WV). The rest voted with Bush and against freedom.

Oh those who voted for the act will give us some propagandistic pap about adding protections for civil rights but those canges are just cosmetic crap. The act itself is a Constitution-evading invasion of basic American rights to privacy, and an abandonment of long-standing protections against illegal search and seizure. …

Oh, and, yeah, I am sorely disappointed in my senator, Barbara Boxer. (I’ve only got one senator; DINO Di-Fi Feinstein jumped the shark, in, like, the nanosecond between the time Dan White pulled the trigger and the moment she was sworn in as Mayor of San Francisco.)

Babs, you listening? Babs…?

Hmmm. No, I guess you’re not.


* Patel is an old nemesis of mine, from my earlier blogging days. I’m waiting for him to come back, tail-betwixt-legs, to admit I was right. But I’m not holding my breath.
