Wasserman Schultz’ child-porn bill passes Congress

A bill designed to protect children from sexual predators has cleared Congress and is headed to the White House to be signed into law. “With President Obama’s signature, this law will help to rescue the thousands of children suffering from unthinkable abuse,” said Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Weston, who sponsored the bill along with House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican.

The bill’s passage is one sign that Congress can still get something done, especially when leaders from each party push a non-controversial measure.

The bill increases the maximum penalty from 10 years in prison to 20 years for child pornography offenses that involve pre-pubescent children, or those under age 12. Full Article

It is absolutely inevitable that I will end up killing myself over this nonsense. I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! This person is supposed to be one of the most reasonable and progressive people in Congress. It’s hopeless. It’s all HOPELESS! She clearly could care less that I die and it’s the same for all politicians. What is the point of living?!! There’s no place to live for families of sex offenders. We have targets on our heads as well. I’m so sick of it!!! I have no fight left in me.

This is why Rush calls her Debbie “Blabbermouth” Schultz because her yammering and actions are absolutely hollow. She has no real convictions or beliefs. The law will “rescue the thousands of children suffering from unthinkable abuse.” How so? These victims will suddenly be released from the harmful environments where they are currently living? Saigon-style airlifts from consulate rooftops around the world? Is Blabbermouth going to put them up somewhere? The law provides a panacea and scum bags that produce this crap and abuse kids are going to magically have a change of heart and be free of the sickness that leads this commit such acts? Holy shit, we should have thought of this years ago!

No one would oppose this bill. They might as well have increased the penalty to a “Kajillion Years” or “Infinity.” This is crap filler to make a politician look he or she is doing something for the greater good when, in fact, they are doing NOTHING.

Why not make killers register. All sex offenders did not commit a crime. This is a waste of tax payers money.
