As the Maryland General Assembly winds down their session, we are getting a sampling of more bills that were tossed around the crack pipe for consideration. Consider the following:
Frank Conaway (D) House, Northwest Baltimore City - (HB 1009) Designate the shillelagh (a wooden club associated with Irish folklore) as "The State Walking Stick of Statesmen and Gentlemen." This law is definitely needed because we don't have an official state walking stick. Consider these other "official" state symbols and the importance of each:
Cat Calico
Dinosaur Astrodon johnstoni
Drink Milk
Exercise Walking
Folk Dance Square Dance
Gem Patuxent River Stone
Insect Baltimore Checkerspot Butterfly
Frank Conaway receives this week's Bonehead Award for wasting tax-payer money.
Saqib Ali (D) Montgomery County - (HB115) Proclaim April 13 as "Punjabi Cultural Awareness Day." Punjab is a region in northwestern India and eastern Pakistan.
What is the purpose of this bill? Self-promotion? If you haven't guessed, Ali, the liberal extremist who voted in favor of providing in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, is Islamic with ancestral roots to India and Pakistan. Ali receives the Assistant Bonehead of the Week Award.
HB131 - Proclaim March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day. Chavez was a union organizer for migrant farm workers. This is to honor the work that he did in Arizona and California. Wha??? It's fine to teach about his impact on history, but to declare an official day for him? And to waste tax-payers dollars to write a bill and debate it? What a horrible waste of money. Who are the boneheads that jumped on board this one? Unfortunately there are a bunch. Unfortunately, the boat with them on it didn't tip over.
The guilty are: Jeff Walderstreicher (D) Montgomery County, Victor Ramirez (D) Prince George's County, Tom Hucker (D) Montgomery County, Joseline Peña-Melnyk (D) Prince George's & Anne Arundel County, Ben Barnes (D) Anne Arundel & Prince George's County, Joanne C. Benson (D) Prince George's County, Aisha N. Braveboy (D) Prince George's County, Emmett C. Burns, Jr. (D) Baltimore County, Alfred C. Carr, Jr. (D) Montgomery County, Kathleen M. Dumais (D) Montgomery County, James Gilchrest (D) Montgomery County, Ana Sol Gutierrez (D) Mongtomery County, Guy Guzzone (D) Howard County, Jolene Ivey (D) Montgomery County, Susan C. Lee (D) Montgomery County, Roger Manno (D) Montgomery County, Heather Mizeur (D) Prince George's County, Karen S. Montgomery (D) Montgomery County, Nathaniel T. Oaks (D) Baltimore City, Justin Ross (D) Prince George's County, Todd Schuler (D) Baltimore County, Luiz R. S. Simmons (D) Montgomery County, Shawn Z. Tarrant (D) Baltimore City, Herman L. Taylor, Jr. (D) Montgomery County, Veronica L. Turner (D) Prince George's County, Kris Valderrama (D) Prince George's County, and Jewell Jay Walker (D) Prince George's County.
Do you see anything that these people have in common? Yes, they are all Democrats. And most of them are from Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. Areas rich in farmland that would have benefited by the work of César Chávez (not really). Waste-waste-waste!
On a funny note, Maryland Republican Pat McDonough commented that the Democrats are so in toe with whatever the governor wants that if O'Malley wanted to close all of the public schools in Maryland, the Democrats in the General Assembly probably would approve it. Nice one, Pat!

New Maryland Law - Co-ed Showers
Maryland's hard-left wing liberal extremists who dominate both the State Senate and State House are hard at work wasting our money and time again. No, they're not working on ways to stimulate the economy, or help people get jobs. Nope. Health care? Nada. Solving Maryland's inadequate transportation problems? Nein. Instead they're busy pushing some really loony ideas. Here's one that was passed along to me in Delegate Susan Kreb's newsletter:
HB 474 and SB 566 - The Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity - Antidiscrimination Bill.
This bill will broadly define the protection awarded to people suffering from gender identity problems and casual cross-dressers. This means that men who dress as the opposite sex will be allowed (by law) to shower and undress in women's locker rooms.
How does this law protect women and children from sexual predators who want to take advantage of the law? It DOESN'T!!!!
Additionally, there will be no exceptions for dating services (if someone wants to pose as a woman and date men, the man on the other end has no right to know that the other person is a dude). Schools and daycares will not be exempt. These facilities for children must allow for gender benders to use the gender-specific bathroom and changing rooms of their choice. Finally, this bill also does not allow for exceptions for establishments for orthodox Jews, Muslim, or Christians.
Who are the nuts that support this bill?
Joseline Pena-Melnyk, Saquib Ali, Curt Anderson, Charles E. Barkley, Ben Barnes, Kumar (pass me another drink) Barve, Pamela Beidle, Joanne C. Benson, Elizabeth Bobo (Howard County), Talmadge Branch, Alfred C. Carr, Jill Carter, Virginia Clagett, Frank Conaway, Anne Marie Doory, Kathleen Dumais, Brian Feldman, William Frick, Barbara Frush, Tawanna Gaines, James Gilchrest, Cheryl Glenn, Ana Sol Gutierrez, Guy Guzzone (Howard County), Peter Hammen, Hattie Harrison, Anne Healey, Sue Hecht, Sheila Hixson, Marvin Holmes, James Hubbard, Tom Hucker, Jolene Ivey, Adrienne Jones, Anne Kaiser, Ruth Kirk, Carolyn Krysiak, Stephen Lafferty, Susan Lee, Mary Ann Love (Anne Arundel), Roger Manno, Brian McHale, Maggie McIntosh, Heather Mizeur, Karen Montgomery, Shirley Nathan-Pulliam, Doyle Niemann, Nathaniel T. Oaks, Victor Ramirez, Kirill Reznik, Craig Rice, Daniel Riley, Barbara Robinson, Samuel Rosenburg, Justin Ross, Todd Schuler (Baltimore County), Melvin Stukes, Shawn Tarrant, Frank Turner, Veronica Turner, Kris Valderrama, Joseph Vallario, Michael Vaughn, Jeff Waldstreicher, Jewell Jay Walker.
Not surprising is that most of these hard-left wingers are from Baltimore City, Prince George's County, or Montgomery County. And the openly homosexual delegates, obviously, support it.
However, there were a couple delegates from Anne Arundel County, one from Frederick County, and a couple from Howard County that also supported it. Fortunately for Michael Busch, he kept his name off of this toxic bill.
The Senate version of the same bill was sponsored by the following state senators:
Richard Madalone, Joan Carter Conway, Jennie Forehand, Rob Garagiola, Lisa Gladden, Harrington, Verna Jones, Nancy King, Mike Lenett, Nathaniel McFadden, Paul Pinsky, Catherine Pugh, Jamie Raskin, and Jim Rosapepe.
Again - no surprises in the sponsors. Did you see all of the Republicans who sponsored this ridiculous bill? That's right. None.
Contact your state legislators and tell them that you do not want to give another tool to sexual predators.
Do it now!
