Iowa: It's No Longer Heaven

That title is obviously a play on the movie Field of Dreams. The twist comes from the 2010 election, when Iowa voters (read: dipshits) went to the polls and:

a) Voted to remove 3 State Supreme Court Judges who were “pro-gay marriage”

b) Voted a Republican after Republican candidate into office.

The reason move (a) was sad is because the initial decision to legalize gay marriage in Iowa was done unanimously by all NINE State Supreme Court Judges. It's not like the three voted out were "OMG radical liberals," all nine, Conservative and Progressive alike interpreted law as they saw fit, and apparently the law says "Discrimination is bad, mmmkay?" Move (b) was sad is because this week Republicans brought their third groundbreaking piece of legislation to the floor: legalizing a dove hunt in Iowa.

This follows fast on the heels of their first two VERY IMPORTANT bills: one to amend the state constitution and remove human rights from the state document, and the second to simply remove human rights from state citizens.

To clarify, the first bill was to outlaw gay marriage, and the second an attack on abortion.

And now they introduce the dove hunt. I’m sorry, I meant to write PASSED where I had “introduce,” because that fucker flew through a vote in about 24 hours. Apparently when you have something that is important to the economy, jobs, education and quality of life, you don’t bother writing it up. But when it comes to something simple, like giving people another something to shoot their guns at, yah-hoo! Yeah, that shoots through the system.

I personally can’t wait to see what shit they come up with next.
