***cue Rep. Leara and his bill to restrict the rights of legislators to legislate***
On one hand, I was dismayed to see our dirty laundry (mainly, the fact that the Republican majority in the Missouri General Assembly has less home-training than a gang of feral cats) aired out as content for people who enjoy feeling that the middle of the nation is an absolute hot mess.
But on the other hand…I’m kind of glad that Rep. Leara gave
me the opportunity to go off on the epidemic of hypocrisy rampaging under the
dome in Jefferson City.
Rep. Leara filed a bill that would make it a class D felony
for any member of the General Assembly to propose legislation that restricts
the right of an individual to bear arms, as set forth under the second
amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
Rep. Leara then took to the press to acknowledge that this
bill is absolute bullshit filed to make the point that he’s not going to stand
for anyone trying to take away Missourians Constitutional rights.
But Leara is full of it.
He is.
He and his Republican colleagues are members of an army
waging relentless war on women’s Constitutional rights, with a freakish glee and dedication.
They've even gone so far as
to say the reason they feel validated to restrict women’s Constitutional rights
is…wait for it…to protect people.
Pause…allow to marinate…continue.
Tis like a policy-based math equation.
Constitutional right - protection of people = restrictable as hell
I happen to disagree with Rep. Leara’s definition of
“people” and most of what comes out of his mouth…but I also think the best way
to back fools like Leara off of is to hold them accountable for their inconsistent
application of their own logic.
Rep. Leara just filed a bill containing felony penalties
should any legislator attempt to legislate restrictions on Missourian’s second
amendment rights.
Now’s the time to ask Rep. Leara and the rest of the
conservative gaggle to stand up for the Constitutional rights of Missouri women
to have UNRESTRICTED access to the full range of reproductive healthcare.
Oh, I already know that Rep. Leara will fail to file a bill applying felony penalties to lawmakers who fail to respect privacy rights.
His kind is incapable of understanding how his over-the-top defense of one amendment to the Constitution shines a glaring light on his nonexistent defense of the rest of the law of the land.
***sniff, sniff***
If you get lost on the way to the Jefferson City, a swarm of flies and the smell of fresh bullshit will guide your way...
