| A man caught having sex with a miniature female donkey (at least it was female!), is arguing that he has a constitutional right to, er, drive the herd any way he wants. He is in effect arguing that if the law says he can’t roger a donkey, then the law is an ass — which is ironic, since if the law were an ass, he might want to have sex with it too. From the article: “By making sexual conduct with an animal a crime, the statute demeans individuals like Defendant (Romero) by making his private

Comments: Leave it to Jonah to take an offensive subject and make it hilarious and illustrate perfectly the perverse insanity of leftists. The last two sentences are the icing on the cake.

And in less then ten years, degenerates will be demanding the right to marry animals.

As I suspect the ´Gay´ community has begun to discover, getting married tends to take some of the fun out of it. This same, unfortunate result may befall the most ardent of barnyardophiles.
Jonah is right.
How much longer will we allow animals to just strut around naked ?

Stop the hate! What if he loves his donkey? Why should his relationship be considered second class. You know back in the dark ages blacks and whites couldn´t marry in some states.

Gay activists always take umbrage when any comparison is made to pedophilia, on the grounds that consensual rogering on the part of two adult males is different from raping a child.
But what if some charming, soulful, simply delightful pedophile points out that all his partners were consenting, even though they were minors?
"The law doesn´t consider minors capable of consent," we answer; and his rejoinder of course is "That´s just where the law has to change."
Because what if a child reportedly liked it? What if the child is (we´ll have to make up another bogus term) a "molesterphile," or a "gerontophile," maybe a "seniorphile"?
What if the child really appreciates the cross-generational intimacy mentoring from someone who really understands a child´s "right" to "explore his sexuality"?
Is there anyone here who can´t see that coming? It´s inevitable, given the premises our society has already long since accepted.
Namely: What is sex "for"? Personal fulfillment.
What "justifies" it? Consent. Or, in other words, "Wanna."

#6 - In a hedonistic culture like ours that is top to bottom morally adrift and spiritually bereft, that too is coming.
Unless God decides "Enough" first.

I highly doubt the donkey would have agreed with this act and therefore Defendant Romero should be charged with rape.

No. 5, I´m with No. 8. He may love his donkey but does she have the right to say no? This is nothing more than animal abuse and in my opion he should go to prison for at least a year.

“By making sexual conduct with an animal/pedophilia/rape/incest (take your pick - it all goes to the same point) a crime, the statute demeans individuals like Defendant (Romero) by making his private sexual conduct a crime,” the attorneys wrote.
I think that an appropriate punishment is for Romero to wear a sign around his neck for a year that says, "I had forced sex with a miniature donkey - and the donkey didn´t even notice". That and castrate him for animal cruelty.

It´s not surprising this came up. We opened Pandora´s box with the gay issue of male/male or female/female sex.
Some here though, mentioned incest. Why do people automatically equate incest with pedophiles? Aren´t people intelligent enough to realize many incest couples are ADULTS, over 18.
We say, about gays, what they do in their bedroom is their business. Why isn´t it the same for Adult incest couples, such as brother and sister? If they want to marry, is it really any of our business?
I suppose by extension if someone wants to have sex with an animal, is it really any of our business?
Seems "We the People" love sticking their noses in other people´s crotches? Why? I bet if we investigated some heterosexuals we´d find some weird sex practices among them too. Is that any of our business too?
I one is to think about it where do we truthfully draw the line here?

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad. Charles Krauthammer found it amazing that the government would make such a “huge assault on the first amendment” in trying to

A liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration took money from General Motors and other businesses it did not disclose while campaigning for policies benefitting those companies, according to The Nation magazine. Members of the “Business Alliance” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) include bailed out car company GM, unsafe Bangladeshi factory utilizer Walmart, and embattled solar energy company First Solar, according to a membership list obtained by the liberal magazine.

Juan Williams, a liberal commentator and a Fox News Channel contributor, criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for “criminalizing journalism,” when asked about Fox’s Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen being labeled as a possible co-conspirator in a government leak investigation. “I think what you’ve got here is a situation where somehow, now, journalism has been criminalized, especially in this Rosen case,” Williams said on Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “There’s just no justification for somehow making it out that a reporter, who is trying to cultivate a source, by doing so is a co-conspirator in terms

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
