The American Taliban will not be happy until we go back to branding people (mainly women) who have sex without a government license.

What astounds me is how far some right-wing lawmakers will go to infantalize teenagers--especially girls--while simultaneously supporting efforts to make teenagers who commit crimes--especially minority boys--be tried as adults. How in the world can they get up in the morning and make sense of the contradiction of criminalizing sexual activity for teenagers while pushing for more of them to be held responsible in the legal sense for crimes they may commit?

Perhaps they're just trying to find a good segue into the reintroduction of stoning for premarital sex.

...Freedom kissing? Hee.

They just can't stand people doing their own thing. They want a totalitarian regime, where thought is removed and everyone does the same thing, the same way. They can't even grasp that up until about a hundred years ago, plenty of god fearing religious people were marrying off their 16 yr old daughters to 20 yr and older men. The teens are new, that puberty meant time to get hitched! Now that we don't want our 16 yr olds getting married, we still expect them to ignore their raging hormones. Right, like that'll ever happen.

I still want people like this to be followed like celebrities so we can find out all the things they do wrong and make them live in the constant state of fear that they want our teens to live in.

Although, considering we have teetolater-abstainer Bush in the white house, and at least one man who doesn't believe in birth control AT ALL on the supreme court, it's not surprising. Keep all these freaks out of my state, NY, which is full of normal people ;)

If it is, I hereby donate the following campaign ad script to whoever runs against Phil Kline:

EXTERIOR DAY: A nice suburban house in a nice suburban neighborhood. A pretty teenaged girl comes out of the house, locks the door behind her, and walks off down the street. A disreputable-looking man in a 3-piece suit (who may just happen to resemble AG Kline) enters the frame from the opposite direction. The camera tracks him as he scuttles up the walk to the house, jimmies the door open, and moves down the hall into what is obviously the girl's bedroom. He begins rummaging through dresser drawers, tossing her clothing onto the floor until he comes to the underwear. He picks up a pair of her panties and examines them minutely, finally burying his nose in the crotch and inhaling deeply. FREEZE FRAME.

Voiceover: "Would you elect this man to the number-one law enforcement office in Kansas? Sadly, you already have."

Candidate: I'm [name] and I respect your family, I respect your privacy, I respect your rights. Vote for me for Attorney General on Election Day.

Yes, AG is an elected office in KS. The only good thing about having Phil Kline as AG is the fact that he really wanted to be GOVENOR but was somehow the right wing of the KS Republican party lost that fight – Kline ended up running for AG instead. Luckily Kansans elected a Pro-choice, Democratic, Catholic WOMAN to be the Governor’s office. As you can imagine it is a challenge being pro-choice in a state with Sam Brownback, Jim Ryan & Pat Roberts at Federal level & Phil Kline as AG. It is hard to be a liberal out here on the plains, but we’ll keep fighting for what we believe is right.

Apparently though, he was elected by less than 1%. Hopefully this will be his only term?
