What we can expect from the Democrats
According to the Washington Times, democrats in the House are trying to divert Intelligence funds into studying Global Warming.
The Intelligence Authorization Bill is up before the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which now has a democrat majority.
Intelligence panel Chairman Silvestre Reyes, Texas Democrat, said the climate-change study is one of several shifts his party has made to intelligence policy. "We're concerned that global warming might impact our ability to maintain national security," he told The Times, describing the idea as "cutting edge."
What a dope.
In Massachusetts, they are cracking down on dogs.
“You can’t allow people to be afraid all the time,” said Avril T. Elkort, vice chairwoman of the Canton Board of Selectmen, where a new ordinance limits residents to one pit bull per household. “It was a public safety issue.”
Meanwhile, state Rep. Martin Walsh is howling mad about dogs running wild inside moving cars and is considering filing legislation requiring drivers to buckle up their canines. “When I drive down the road and I see a dog running around the car, particularly on the lap and front seat, that’s crazy,” said the Dorchester Democrat.
State legislators will hold a hearing later this month on whether to outlaw pit bulls, though Walsh said lawmakers hope to look into broader issues regarding dog safety.
State Rep. Vincent Pelone said the state may consider either banning pit bulls outright or requiring owners to get training or a dangerous dog license.
“If you want to own a pit bull, which in my estimation can be the same as owning a weapon, the owner and the dog should receive training,” said the Worcester Democrat.

You are quoting from FoxNews and a Moonie-owned newspaper. Yep, the shit you're complaining about is stupid, but if I didn't already see it your way, the sources you use wouldn't have convinced me. But I think you've only got half the story (probably due to hasty research). As it turns out, there is widespread bipartisan support in the Mass State House for "special breed licensing," tightening leash laws, and passing noise ordinances -- everything short of an outright ban. However, the bans are already being instituted community by community and the Democrats involved are trying to head off crazily restrictive and completely unenforceable/ill-thought-out "tie-dye t-shirt and birkenstock" legislation that will wind up being massively inconvenient to dog owners who will have to sue on a case-by-case basis to keep their dogs (no grandfathering, as will be the case with the statewide legislation proposed). Personally, I think that's a doomed effort, but I can sort of see where trying to pass a less restrictive piece of uniform legislation with a grandfathering clause could be helpful to most dog owners.
