A case of "possible human trafficking" at a Saudi diplomatic compound in Virginia is under investigation, Homeland Security confirmed to News4. Jackie Bensen reports.
A case of "possible human trafficking" at a Saudi diplomatic compound in Virginia is under investigation, Homeland Security confirmed to News4.
Agents from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement/Homeland Security Investigations and Fairfax County police were called to a home in the 6000 block of Orris Street in McLean overnight and, in the words of a source familiar with the investigation, "rescued" two women. One woman reportedly tried to flee by squeezing through a gap in the front gate as it was closing.
It's not clear if the women, who sources say are from the Philippines, called investigators to the home themselves or if someone else did.
"Homeland Security Investigations DC did encounter two potential victims of trafficking and the investigation is ongoing," a D.C.-based spokesman for ICE/Homeland Security investigations told News4.
The investigation is in its very early stages and complicated by the possibility some of those involved may have diplomatic immunity.
The compound featuring three security gates, a guard shack and security staff on foot patrol is owned by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, according to Fairfax County real estate records. A man outside the gates who said he works for the embassy told News4 the homeowner was at the embassy Wednesday, and vehicles driven in and out of the gates had diplomatic license plates.

I thought this was funny and I stole it from the Forward Progressives site. The Hidden World needs to laugh sometimes. http://www.forwardprogressives.com/whosaidit/
I thought it would be fun to play a little game I call “Who said it: A Republican or an Insane Person.”
Now, I know what some of you are thinking, “But most Republicans are insane.” That might be true for some, but let’s just go with declared Republicans up against actual insane people (though not all will have been declared legally insane–but the majority of people would call them crazy).
The rules are simple. I’m going to list a few quotes and you simply have to guess who said it, a Republican or an insane person (a piece of paper and something to write with might help).
Ready?
1) “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them money, I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
2) “I can’t judge you. I have no malice against you and no ribbons for you. But I think that it is time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
3) “Feminism is about victimization. Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
4) “Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may not be as strong and as capable as men.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
5) “When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh shut up’ I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
6) “Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
7) ”The government is afraid of the guns people have because they have to have control of the people at all times. Once you take away the guns, you can do anything to the people. You give them an inch and they take a mile. I believe we are slowly turning into a socialist government.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
8) “Abortion is murder. God hates baby-killers.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
9) ”I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
10) “I like this place, everybody treats me nice, some of them are a little crazy though.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
11) “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
12) ”Same-sex marriage, by any name, civil union or otherwise, is the ultimate smashed-mouth in-your-face insult to God Almighty.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
13) “Our children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal and natural and that perhaps they should try it, and that’ll be very soon in our public schools all across the state, beginning in kindergarten.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
14) “I think we have to understand that when tolerance becomes a one-way street, it will lead to cultural suicide.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
15) “You know, we all have our inner demons. I, for one, I can’t speak for you, but I’m on the verge of moral collapse at any time.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
16) “As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
17) “Understand though, that when we talk about exceptions, we talk about rape, incest, health of a woman, life of a woman. Life of the woman is not an exception.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
18) “Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
19) “Everything about the left is perception, manipulation, and lies. Everything. Everything is ‘Wag the Dog.’ Everything is a structured deception.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
20) “The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is. A manly man don’t want it piled high with vegetables! He would call that a sissy pizza.”
A) Republican
B) Insane Person
Answer time:
1) A: Republican- Rick Santorum

3) A: Republican- Rush Limbaugh
4) B: Insane Person- Ted Kaczynski
5) A: Republican- Glenn Beck

9) A: Republican- Richard Mourdock
10) B: Insane Person- Ed Gein
11) B: Insane Person- Adolf Hitler

13) A: Republican- Michele Bachmann
14) A: Republican- Allen West
15) A: Republican- Glenn Beck
16) B: Insane Person- Adolf Hitler
17) A: Republican- Joe Walsh
18) B: Insane Person- Ted Kaczynski
19) A: Republican- Rush Limbaugh
20) A: Republican- Herman Cain
So how did you do? If I hadn’t personally made this, I know I would have had a pretty difficult time figuring out most of the answers.
I would encourage everyone to share this with their friends to see how well they can do picking who said it, a Republican or an insane person.
Thanks for playing!

GOP Congressman Says Poor People Don’t Pay Enough Taxes
GOP Congressman Says Poor People Don’t Pay Enough Taxes: pWhen the history books are written about the 2012 presidential election, the leaked video of Mitt Romney disparaging half of the country as a bunch of lazy, greedy, government moochers may very well have its own chapter, and yet Republicans are quick to forget just how damaging the remark was. The latest is Congressman Rob [...]/p
