Dennis Baxley Moving On Up

Dennis Baxley is planning on running for the Florida State Senate if Nancy Argenziano gives up her seat to serve on the Public Service Commission. Baxley is as far from the mainstream and reality as a politician can be.

Baxley sponsored the Academic Freedom Bill of Rights. Which is similar to the academic bill of rights written by David Horowitz. Baxley and Horowitz believe college professors are indoctrinating students with far-left liberal ideology. Professor Michael Berube points out that David Howowitz has a diffucult time backing up his complaints.

Well, I think the power of Horowitz's charges depends a great deal on the echo chamber created over the years by the great right-wing noise machine. If you understand that, then you can understand why Horowitz is so very, very furious at being met with what he calls "nit-picking" complaints-- the kind in which people try to verify his claim that a Penn State biology professor showed Fahrenheit 9/11 to his students just before the 2004 election, and then fail to verify that any such thing happened (because it didn't).

Baxley's bill would allow students to sue professors who teach evolution.

Baxley pushed for a bill that would allow employees to bring guns to work.

Baxley downplayed past workplace shootings across the nation.

"Because of those situations that occur, we're going to prevent everyone from exercising a right that's guaranteed in the Constitution?" he said. "That's a no-win situation."

Data about workplace shootings isn't accurate, Baxley said.

"That data's very contaminated by events outside the workplace, such as taxi drivers and pizza deliverers," he said. "I don't think the workplace safety issue holds up."

If workplace shooting aren't a national problem then why does Baxley feel employees need to bring guns to the park lots of their jobs? His logic is people need to protect themselves from a non-problem.

Baxley is pushing for a commemorative licence plate for the Confederate flag.

He is also sponsoring the bill that would make clinics notify the police if a girl under 16 gets an abortion. Clinics will have to take DNA of a fetus. Baxley and Storms are treating minors as if they are engaged in criminal activity. The bill also requires that girls have a guardian before they undergo an abortion. Baxley and Storms intend to make Florida have some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.

Baxley is underserving of a promotion to higher office.
