A Conservative group, the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, which states it is “dedicated to research and education on issues of government, politics, economics and social welfare” released a video which will hurt your brain because it’s just that stupid.

To this “there is no war on women” group, date drugs are a myth. That whole, how did I get here, or how did I get home and who was that guy thingy never happened — even after you spent a night drinking only non-alcoholic beverages.

Anomaly totally not roofied

[su_center_ad]Don’t worry ladies, date rape drugs are nothing to worry about. The Conservalady in the video asks, “Have you asked a friend to watch your drink because you’re afraid to leave it alone, even for a moment?”

Well don’t “live in constant fear of roofies.”

That’s right, being roofied is just a myth. Except for the two times it happened to me, and the three times it happened to Rebecca Schoenkopf at Wonkette.

But other than those times and all the times it’s happened to other women, it’s just a myth.

I sort of lied. I was given a Spanish Fly once — and a roofie on another occasion. The Spanish Fly just killed me. I mean, it actually killed me for close to 5 minutes. I woke up in a hospital overseas with a sheet over my head and heard sobbing in the hallway. I stumbled out and asked for a cigarette. My agent who was in the hallway, then started screaming. She was told I was dead. The doctor was all, “Your heart stops for 5 minutes and you want a cigarette?”

Maybe only liberals are roofied. That would explain it. Republican women just handle it better while puking their guts out after being slipped a not roofie. Or maybe we just whine too much. Just go with the flow ladies, you can handle being abused. It’s no biggie.

Watch:

She concludes, “So what does this all mean? Calling date rape drugs a “myth” may not be right. These drugs do exist, and there are some cases in which women are drugged and sexually assaulted. Watching over your drinks at the bar and abstaining from fraternity jungle juice might still be a good idea. But a reality check is in order.”

Here’s your reality check: Keep your drink covered with your hand while in a crowd of strangers unless you want to spend the next few days trying to piece that night together, in spurts, with “Oh my God, what the f*ck” moments.

Also, too, many times being slipped a date rape drug goes unreported because the victim has no idea what the hell happened. Until later.

    Right wingers, are you starting to understand why we liberals see every single one of you as ignorant low-information sheep?

    Are you starting to understand why your laughable opinions on far more complex scientific issues such as climate change, are ignored?

    Gov. Jindal of Louisiana said that Republicans have to stop being the “stupid party”. For you right wingers who are not sure what that means, let me clarify. It means to stop being stupid, or for some of you perhaps that would be Mission Impossible.

    As a reality check here is some myth-making from the Eastern Kentucky University police department.

    Date Rape Drugs

    Rohypnol and GHB

    These drugs are silent, invisible, potent, and destructive – when hidden in a drink, they may be completely undetectable. They can seriously harm or even kill you.

      “Gov. Jindal of Louisiana said that Republicans have to stop being the “stupid party”…. and it wasn’t long after that comment he pushed head and shoulders into MORE stupidity

    While being horrified by your having been drugged on two separate occasions, Anomaly, I still LOLd when I read the caption on that picture.

    That being the case, I’ve got a few things I might want expunged from my record.

    I want to know how you got into that tree, Ms Graceful.

      Another bicycle accident?

      • tiredoftea October 22nd, 2014 at 1:31 pm

        Be honest, one of your cats chased you there.

        nice try.

    We should have expected this video. It is, after all, from the party of Rush Limbaugh, David Vitter, et al., who, without these pharmaceutical miracles, can’t get dates.
