Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, December 12, 2024

Texas is the land where regulation is always second, or so they say. However, it's also a state where politicians have chosen to regulate oddly specific things, from laws allowing residents to hunt feral hogs from hot air balloons to laws outlining the number of dildos a person can own. Recently, Texas legislators have set their sights on something that has become ubiquitous in recent years: sex toys in retail stores. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they want them out. A ban on sex toys in stores . Republican Rep. Hillary Hickland is behind the proposal to ban sex toys. Earlier this week, Hickland filed HB 1549 , a bill that would ban retail stores such as Walmart, Target, and CVS from selling sex toys. Under the bill, only a "sexually oriented business" will be able to sell sex toys.

300 guns? No problem.

7 dildoes? Nope nope nopity nope. Once you include Cornyn, Cruz, Hotwheels, Paxton etc. you start pushing the limit fast.

Look her up. I'm willing to bet she wears a plug to work. She's over compensating way too much to not be freaky deaky in private.

"Oh, you can please me on a Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can please me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can please me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Or try to please me on a gray day, a May day
A pay day, and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
But never on a Sunday in Texas where the law says we rest
.

Yeah, this article (likely an OpED, imo) raises a good point.


In Texas, apparently the land of "freedom" now seems to pass laws parading "freedoms" now, in their actions, appear to want to restrict freedom.


So, how does Texas rationalize their apparent conflation of freedom with their restriction of freedom?
