The dems don't see the irony in the fact that they are a party that bullies people and wants to take all of our lunch money.

I am tremendously against bullying. But, 1) How is this a federal offense? and 2) Equal protection under the law? Bullying special needs kids is a crime, but bullying other kids is merely bad behavior?

“Well, you don’t have to make a federal case out of it.”

“Yes. Yes we do.”

Hmmm, Democrats trying to claim sympathy for the plight of those with disabilities. Why this, why now???

Could it be that a potential Republican candidate has a child with a disability and they want to be able to say, "Look at us, we care"?

If passed, could this provide solid grounds for impeaching the Obastard?

“I am tremendously against bullying. But ... “

3) These are kids. Most kids are still developing in many areas, some slower than others. Is it really prudent to put a federal offense on the record of a kid who lacks development?

I’ve known some rotten kids who turned out ok.

Oh good. We can call it ‘hate bullying’ as opposed to just regular bullying.

I’m sure bullies across the nation will change their ways, and their targets, once they realize a report to the feds will be filed on them. /S

When selectively enforced, like you know it would be,

this would be a de facto criminalization of the voicing of any conservative/Christian viewpoint.

So when you are talking to a socialist about his beliefs you will actually be bullying him and subject to arrest for hate speech and bullying.

Then they will send you to a re-education camp and if you don’t conform then they will execute and bury you in a mass grave.

Don’t be fooled by the standard leftist tactic of using a word which you have a certain understanding of,

and which they intend to mean something entirely different.

That’s the Dim mind set for you. Make a 13 year punk a federal criminal.

LOL.
I remember when we used to say, “Don’t make a federal case out of it.” when somebody came by bitching and moaning.

Apparently, the Obama administration didn’t realize it was meant as a JOKE.

It would also mandate that any federal dollars that promote anti-bullying programs focus partially on that group.

That's a novel approach. Throw gobs and gobs of money at a problem. But what do we do with the bureaucracy after the problem has been solved?

I guess they forgot about Obama making fun of the Special Olympics on Leno.
