Country:  | More Liberal Madness!
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A California lawmaker says she has proposed a law that would make spanking a small child a crime to be punished by jail time or a fine.
The bill, backed by Democrat Sally Lieber of San Francisco, a member of the state legislature, would outlaw spanking children three years old or younger and carry a possible penalty of jail time or a 1,000-dollar fine.
"I think it's pretty hard to argue you need to beat a child three years old or younger," said Lieber, who plans to introduce the bill next week.
The bill, which was still being drafted, would make the crime a misdemeanor and be written to ban "any striking of a child, any corporal punishment, smacking, hitting, punching, any of that," Lieber said.
The bill will likely pit those who advocate protecting children at all costs against lawmakers wary of government intervention creating a possible meddlesome "nanny state."
"Where do you stop?" said Republican Chuck Devore. "At what point are we going to say we should pass a bill that every parent has to read a minimum of 30 minutes every night to their child? This is right along those same lines."

Country: | C'mon Joe, you've lived in this country. Therefore, you'd know we put the "pussify" in Liberal.
Wait, that's not funny at all.  | |

Country: | Saw that one. Another one of those "It takes a village to raise a child/Granny State" laws. Fed up with them!
Why are the people who are least successful in life the ones who feel most compelled to pass laws about the way we live OUR lives (and tend to be very liberal). I have plenty of friends in the area I live and only two are hard core liberals. One is a complete knobhead who wants to get married and have kids but no woman (no matter how desperate) will get within a city block of him. He is an annoying, know-it-all fruitcake. The other is a woman, slightly left of Trotsky, who has a million opinions about how the country should be changed but can't stand the stresses and strains of every day life. I've seen her take prozac cause she was stuck in a traffic jam! Fer cryin' out loud! What is with these nutcakes!
Ok, vent is done. | |

Country:  | I think it should be left up to the parents. Spanking is not abuse!

Country: | She does not have my vote, that is for sure.
She was just here in Germany a few days ago, visiting the wounded troops in Landstuhl.

Country: | Heard another one last week from a stone fired liberal. Said that there is no proof that is the US left Iraq that there would be any negative consequences. "What proof do we have that if we just leave, everything won't be fine?"
As stupid as that sentence is, we should be ready for this arguement to pop up out there. It's coming. | |
