Well then explain Florida.
But, it is a federal crime to abduct a girl (unless she’s your own daughter), regardless of the purpose and regardless of whether you take her across a state line.
The best part, “What?! That’s not illegal?! Steve King should do something about that! Oh, oh, wait…I’m being told that…yes, yes all of that IS illegal. Fast work, King.”
The state shaped like an enormous flaccid dick. Malform follows malfunction.
Careful with that kinda talk. You don’t want to get us riled up. (Watch out, Bermuda! :eek:)
Live in Minnesota, where its cold. By the time an engorged Florida gets here, it will have shriveled to Rhode Island.
I think “monstrous glassy-eyed man-puppies” may be my new favorite phrase, and I’m sad because I can’t actually imagine ever having another occasion to use it.
Tim Dorsey has you covered. Apparently, criminal psychopaths like nice weather, and if you pass out in snow you die.
Steve King 2016!
What he says makes a certain kind of sense, BUT it is delivered in a way that suggests to me barroom rantings rather than speech made to a legislature.
He seems unpolished is all.

I am by no means a supporter of Steve King, but I think I understand what he’s trying to say. I don’t think he’s pro dog fighting, rather that he is disturbed that there is a federal law against dog fighting but there isn’t a federal law against his rape-abortion scenario. It seems to me that he feels that it is a mixed up priority when we have federal laws against dog fighting but not against other things that he believes are morally much worse.
Of course, he’s still an idiot because the comparison of dog fighting to boxing is just ridiculous and his rape-abortion scenario is misleading because, whether or not there’s federal laws against it, every state has laws against it, so saying it isn’t illegal is only a true statement from a very narrowly defined perspective.
OK, so Congressman King (who like most good Teahadists thinks there are TOO MANY federal laws - and lets repeal every one Obama signed!), is against the federal prohibition of dog fighting because there aren’t MORE federal laws against, ie, kidnapping & raping a 13 year old girl, taking her to another state for a forced abortion & then leaving her back at the playground.
Leaving aside the obvious - that there are in fact Federal laws that would apply to his kidnapping/rape/abortion/interstate transport of a minor scenario - his argument is that the anti-dogfighting legislation fails because there aren’t MORE Federal laws (that he, in turn, would want to do away with)?
This is a fail on so many levels, I gotta go lie down. With sleeping dogs. Oooh, I itch …
Mythbusters showed it’s possible to polish a turd.
Yes, clearly. This much is obvious. But, what’s he thinking that we should have laws for that we don’t currently? Something about state lines and abortions and age of consent laws?
He must have something specific in mind. I just have no idea what he’s thinking about.
None of it makes sense. Every single aspect of that quote is stupid and wrong. I assure you that, thankfully, it’s quite illegal to kidnap and rape a 13 year old, transport her across state lines, and force her to have a medical procedure.
Even if he didn’t use a completely stupid and wrong scenario to make his point, if he’d made a scenario about something that actually was legal but terrible, it still wouldn’t be an argument against anti-dog fighting laws. Try to make whatever is legal but terrible illegal, and make dog fighting illegal. There’s no reason you have to pick between the two. He’s a fucking moron.
What all politicians think about: re-election.

I was listening to Mark Levin’s radio show last night on the way home (I know, I’m a glutton for punishment) and he had on what he called a “solid conservative” under assault from powerful leftists. The poor guy was faced with having to make expensive media buys in outlets including Sioux City and Mason City (IA), Sioux Falls (SD), southern Minnesota etc. to counter the nasty attacks on him. I thought “No, it can’t be…can it?” Yep, Levin’s guest was the inimitable Steve King, who morphed from a ludicrous anti-animal rights nincompoop into a God-fearing patriot right before my very eyes (ears).
Here’s a listing of King’s votes covering animal protection and environmental legislation. While you could justify a number of them on the basis of anti-Federal spending proclivities, the overall pattern is pretty disgusting.
And while we’re naming and shaming, how about it, Ohio Legislature - close down the damn puppy mills.
