There is so much stupid in the world; all I can do is hope to bring it to light. Today, we shall analyze three works of dumb, each with its own particular je ne sais quoi that makes it worthy of mockery and ridicule.
A general conservative blogger method of reading statutes, laws or anything relating to how things actually work will generally fall prey to two undeniable canons of non-comprehension:
1.) They cannot read.
2.) This is compensated for by picking out the few trigger words which spark babbling outrage and then copying only those words in an effort to feel like they actually can read, like a high schooler who only read two pages of the English assignment but tries to make everything revolve around the one phrase he remembers if he gets called on.
Case in point: Cassy Fiano. In Texas, HB 3318 is being offered as a method of sentence mitigation for mothers convicted of murdering their infant children while suffering from post-partum depression.
Please note what I just said. Because it’s what the bill says. Then note what Fiano says.
Of course, leave it to a rabid pro-abortionist like Jessica Ferrar to see otherwise. She’s a Texas state representative, recently honored by Planned Parenthood and the proud owner of a 100% NARAL approval rating. She’s currently trying to force through a bill that would make Catholic hospitals be required to dispense the morning-after pill. Her latest bright idea? To decriminalize infanticide.
But…what? Huh? The bill explicitly says that “the offense is a state jail felony”. There is a criminal sentence. Is there a meaning of “decriminalize” that includes prison time for a criminal offense? Did I go to sleep and wake up in Ari Fleischer’s head?
Are you sick to your stomach yet?
Yes, but not for the reasons you think.
Right now, murder of a child under the age of six in the state if Texas is capital murder. And this evil woman, Jessica Ferrar (who, by the way, calls herself a Catholic — yeah right), wants the punishment for murdering an infant to be little more than a slap on the wrist. And why? Because if the child is under a year old, they’re worth less than a child aged 1 - 6?
No, because some women provably suffer from often crippling depression brought on by birth in the first year following said birth.
Incidentally, the way that sentence will be perceived by Fiano? “Cripple women following birth. Obama’s depression makes gay babies.”
Alas, we must move on to example two.
