Ohio Anti-Labor Bill Goes Antigay

So two negatives make a positvie. Now gay marriage is legal in Ohio!! How insecure do you have to be to hide this inside another bill when it is already law?

More examples of Republican big-government fascism.

Why on earth does ANYONE with two brain cells or more vote Republican?
Answer: they don't.

STOP THESE DAMN AUDIO ADS!

Why can't aliens from another planet or superman get rid of all these damn stupid Republicans that seem to be operating with a minimal IQ? They are promoting all sorts of evils against the hard working people of this country.

Republicans are making less sense than usual. Since when does "less, smaller government" mean writing a law, especially a BAD LAW, twice? I can only speculate (and WILDLY SO!) that they're anticipating legal challenges and two separate writings require two separate legal challenges. If one gets defeated, the other keeps a form of the law on the books.

I don't know. Trying to make sense out of Republicans is impossible.

OK Who has a link for to sign a petition to reset our government back to just the initial few pieces of paper! I will happily sign my name as large as John Hancocks! Time to go back to just the three key documents "Immancipation Proclomation" "Constitution" and "Bill of Rights", wipe all other legislation from the books and get back to never passing laws without PROPER representation of the people will!

::quivers with rage:: I am so sick of hidden legislation, dog ears and special interest addendums to bills....

Well all good things come in threes. body mind spirit, where are they? When you need them the most! I did not read anything about children to same sex marriages. Shakespeare My mind and body belongs to the King, my soul to God, nothing for me, " To be or not to be" has a always been the question, but don´t ask don´t tell, oh well, shit happens.

DaAMMn! you think they have the kitchen sink in there too? Maybe Bin Laden is tucked away somewhere in there!

More of big government in the private lives of the individual.

TP people have never read the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence with any understanding of what the words say. Governments are established by the governed to protect their rights, not abuse them or take them away.

The second paragraph of the Declaration states "That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing the powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness".

Further, it states: "that Mankind are more disposed to suffer while the Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security".

Government is instituted to protect the rights of the governed, not to strip them away. The RIPublicans, Tea Party and Libertarians, only want to protect what they consider to be their rights and all others be damned.

I think the beginning of the end of GOP is approaching,,, as long as the info like what we get here on current continues to be available to all of us and those that are beginning to see the truth about them,,,,,,,, "somewhere over the rainbow"....... hey,, I can dream can't I?

Wow. I thought my state was bad! This is what happens when a state turns the majority of it's elected officials and the political process over to tea party backed lunatics. Once again, this further exposes the "small government" and "stay out of my life federal government" hypocracy. They are just fine with using the government to control groups they don't agree with. Just "don't tread on my rights." This is Orwell's "Animal Farm" come to life. Leave it to the tea party to have their own "Napoleon."

these type of humans are losing their freaking minds - it's quite entertaining to watch in a macabre way - i'm MOST grateful that i've removed myself to quite an extent from being in the midst of modernized civilization - still, the things they do are SO WRONG - it could be disheartening, especially since i've been trying to give a shit and be more compassionate - it would be much easier if i just don't care ... *sigh* stupid human tricks
peace on earth and love
i'll say it again peace on earth and love

This is too much of a social issue to be debated on it's on merit than to stuff it in a budget bill.

Fascist bastards.

As a citizen of the state I'll be posting this everywhere thanks cause I'm pretty sure no one knows yet medias got one tight lip thanks current!!!

For the GOP it's never about legislation for the people. They'll shoe-horn their narrow conservative worldview into a Dog Catching Bill...
They hate democracy and want ignorant oppressed masses for slave labor. We should just give them their own banana republic where they can enslave the T-bugs.

As if this union-busting bill in Ohio weren't despicable enough--we find out they've slipped in an even more despicable spoiler (based on their religious views of marriage). We find, on a daily basis, the people who claimed their unconditional love for the Constitution, actually is conditional. We find that the Constitution that they professed such a deep adoration of, was merely a fiction of their own imaginations, and more closely resembles the manifesto of some unpopular dictator of a Theocracy.

Just because 'christians' say marriage is between a man and woman does not mean anything! This country was founded on secular ideas and guess what not everyone thinks like a Christian like some of you small minded conservatives believe so why don't you just stay out of peoples personal lives and do something that your good at like going to church every Sunday and thinking you are 'closer to god' than everyone else!

I see your publicized, concocted celebrity marriages and raise you Michael and Paul whom have been together for 42 years. Just so this sinks in: they were living together here in the deep south while going to movies, shopping for groceries, and going to church as a couple since 1969. Tell me why they should not have the right to get married.

Your need for Conservative acceptance is sad.

Holy Harlots , can't these people STAY OUT OF our personal lives ? This HAS to be a diversion from their complete INCOMPETENCE !

Good old republicans. Just got to tack on an extra bit of hate.

It's like these bastards are writing themselves little christmas wish lists and buying the crap on their parents (the taxpayers) credit card when mom and dad can't afford food or heat. Bunch of spoiled brats need their asses spanked(and handed to them!).

surprised it is not anti-immigrant as well.
