South Dakota GOP pushes bill to legalize ‘homicide’ in defense of the unborn
By Stephen C. Webster

"Justifiable" homicide is usually claimed in self defense cases, and in particular home invasions that end up with a dead burglar. You could say it's one of the many things that's big in Texas.

But in South Dakota, a group of Republican state legislators have crafted a bill that would expand the legal definition of "justifiable homicide" in a way that's plain and unambiguous: they're trying to legalize the murder of abortion doctors.

In House Bill 1171, which cleared committee recently and will go to a full vote by the legislature soon, their redefinition is clear........

i am printing this because

ms logan had to have given her permission to cbs (for whom she works) to release this.

it is NOT part of a woman's job to be assaulted. BUT it happens. it happens here and there. it happens to civilians and to military personnel.

it MUST STOP

WE are your mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, neighbors. we are your friends.

to ms logan, thank you for being so brave. it takes courage (in our times) to step forth. you didn't ask for my advice, but i will tell you, you did the right thing by saying it out loud. you do NOT have to go through this alone.

CBS News' Lara Logan Assaulted During Egypt Protests
(CBSNews)

On Friday, Feb. 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a "60 Minutes" story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.........

and then this (but we knew this was happening. it was happening to us BY us. yet, little if anything is being done. EVEN YET. EVEN NOW)

House GOPer against big government health care enjoys taxpayer-funded state government insurance

By Greg Sargent

Okay, this one is funny. As you know, Dems and lefty groups have been loudly insisting that House Republicans in favor of repealing the Affordable Care Act should forego the "government run" insurance they enjoy as members of Congress.

One of those GOPers is Rep. Leonard Lance of New Jersey, a fiscal hawk who opposes the health reform law out of opposition to big government. He is in the crosshairs of an ad by Blue America PAC accusing him of enjoying taxpayer-funded insurance............

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

http://act.presente.org/cms/sign/brisenia/

don't know if you've been following this but it's one of THE ugliest stories ever told. why? because a NINE year old AMERICAN was murdered in her own home, because her skin wasn't the whitest of white. oh, her father was murdered FIRST and they tried to murder her mother too. her mother lived and she testified. by the way, there's a FREE SHAWNA site out there (yeah, people are that whack). they are trying to say this was all done (the murders) by drug dealers (and we all know they also want to put the words "illegal immigrant" in front of that). oh, shawna and her posse did this all right. NOW the world KNOWS.

justice for brisenia

as it turns out, there IS a great goddess. the verdict: forde was found GUILTY OF MURDER

Arizona vigilante guilty of murdering Latino man, daughter

An Arizona jury on Monday convicted anti-illegal immigration activist Shawna Forde of murder in the killing of a Latino man and his 9-year-old daughter during a 2009 vigilante raid she led on their home.

The Pima County jury convicted Forde on eight counts, including two counts of murder for the shooting deaths of Raul Flores and his daughter, Brisenia, and the attempted murder of the child's mother, Gina Gonzales, at the family's rural Arivaca home on May 30, 2009.

The child and her father were American-born U.S. citizens.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Obama beats top GOP candidates in Fox News poll
By Eric W. Dolan
President Barack Obama had a decent lead over his potential Republican challengers in 2012 in a Fox News poll conducted in early February.
The poll, which was based on telephone interviews with 911 registered voters, found that Obama had a substantial lead over all of the GOP's top candidates, most of whom were working as paid contributors for the conservative-leaning Fox News Channel..............

i've not posted too very much on egypt

28 hours in the dark heart of Egypt's torture machine

A blindfolded Robert Tait could only listen as fellow captives were given electric shocks and beaten by Mubarak's security services
Robert Tait

The sickening, rapid click-click-clicking of the electric shock device sounded like an angry rattlesnake as it passed within inches of my face. Then came a scream of agony, followed by a pitiful whimpering from the handcuffed, blindfolded victim as the force of the shock propelled him across the floor.

A hail of vicious punches and kicks rained down on the prone bodies next to me, creating loud thumps. The torturers screamed abuse all around me. Only later were their chilling words translated to me by an Arabic-speaking colleague: "In this hotel, there are only two items on the menu for those who don't behave – electrocution and rape."

Cuffed and blindfolded, like my fellow detainees, I lay transfixed. My palms sweated and my heart raced. I felt myself shaking. Would it be my turn next? Or would my outsider status, conferred by holding a British passport, save me? I suspected – hoped – that it would be the latter and, thankfully, it was. But I could never be sure......................

Congressman Ron Paul booted from conservative group for anti-war views

By Eric W. Dolan

The conservative group Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) announced Saturday that Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) would be expelled from the group's National Advisory Board because of his "delusional and disturbing alliance with the fringe Anti-War movement."

"It is a sad day in American history when a one-time conservative-libertarian stalwart has fallen more out of touch with America’s needs for national security than the current feeble and appeasing administration," YAF’s Senior National Director Jordan Marks said in a statement.............
