Plus, if I want to kill someone, I want YOU (and you know who you are eh) to buy my bullets for me.

[muawiyah]

Bet she doesn’t come across as easy as she tells us either.

[muawiyah]

Meghan has been enlarging her breasts for some reason ~ maybe these two can get together with a party of some kind.

[ilgipper]

then why did his disapproval among Catholics rise to 59%. This is low hanging fruit for the GOP.

[muawiyah]

The OBOTS know they've lost the vote of the young women, only 53% of whom are employed ~ when normally over 75% would be employed.

They imagine these young women who can't afford insurance are going to be happy to get free female condoms.

Hmm. Bet they'd like jobs much better ~ they clean out the Safeway then, with change to spare.

[Kaslin]

The last sentence says it all

[hinckley buzzard]

Sounds fair, especially given that men's anti-impotence Viagra treatments have been covered by insurance plans for years

Quit reading right there, Why waste time on someone who has a void where her brain should be. Totally irrational, sadly.

[Sudetenland]

Yep, and the Republicans will just sit around with their thumbs up their . . . well they're up there somewhere.

I believe free, republic America is finished. We have very, very few--if any--defenders in Congress, only those who want to destroy our republic and the spineless jellyfish in Republican suits.

[AmusedBystander]

then why did his disapproval among Catholics rise to 59%. This is low hanging fruit for the GOP.

You must have missed how he's nearing 50% in Gallup national. The Catholics' disapproval will fall quickly after the "accomodation" takes root.

Now, calm down Rachel. Nobody is saying you can’t have all the fun you want. The issue isn’t sex. The issue that some basic moral teachings of the Roman Catholic Church have been disregarded by requiring Catholic organizations to pay for contraceptive practices and abortion, which the Church considers to be mortal sins. (And this position is so well-known that it is impossible to believe that whoever wrote this part of the law did so ignorantly.) The issue is also whether the Catholic Church, or any other like-minded body, will have its First Amendment rights protected to teach and practice its faith without government interference.

Let’s deal with something less incendiary than sex. If the goverment ruled that the use of incense violated indoor air quality standards, or that receiving communion from a spoon, or drinking from a common chalice, were unhygienic, or that circumcising Jewish boys was a form of mutiliation, or that reading something like “The Late, Great Planet Earth” in Sunday school is emotionally scarring to young people, do you think the government should have the power to force the change of these practices?

[Venturer]

I think it’s a synonym for Rache Maddow.

This one claims to be Conservative.

Bwahahahaa

[Jagdgewehr]

Not surprising to me. I've encountered wishy-washy, moderate, middle-of-the-muddled-road, unprincipled, miss-the-mark thinking just like hers on Free Republic. The entitlement mentality creeps deep into some "conservatives" thinking too.

Our republic has slipped down that slippery slope too far.

[hinckley buzzard]

Jack Nicholson on writing convincingly about women: Start with a man--then take away reason and accountabiolity.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Rachel’s conscience (or lack of) is good enough for her - so it should be good enough for all. Why would the Catholic church know more concerning the leading of the risen Christ than some lay columnist?

In republican Roman society, the father could (and sometimes did) kill his adult sons if they, in his opinion, did not measure up. But he did it at his own expense, he didn’t bill his neighbors.

[manc]

this is B/S this is not just about contraception this is about the constitution and making Catholic hospitals etc do abortions sterilization and form there it will lead to telling Catholics etc that they have to have a female homosexual

YET AGAIN our side and even some on here fall for the lefts talking points, the MSM talking points,

let us all stop saying contraception as that issue is popular with women , this is about more i.e. abortions at hospitals, etc

[manc]

the left is shaping this issue and we are letting them, this is not just about contraception, it is about hospitals doing abortions, sterilazations etc, this leads to female homosexual Priests based on discrimination laws.

I’m sick of the left calling bills like the dream act and we repeat it, the left now uses contraception and we just focus on this

Our side is so frigging dumb that we cannot even figure the basics out in this fight as we always let the left dictate the fight and they get the message out while our side look stupid and our candidates the dopes they are stand there and repeat the lefts talking points by using the contraception issue and not the abortion or where this will go and it is high time to point out the first amendment too

Sounds fair, especially given that men's anti-impotence Viagra treatments have been covered by insurance plans for years.

I guess she's using the "two wrongs make a right" defense.

Make the guys pay for their Viagra and tax it.

Finally a chance to realize Rhode Island's old dream of taxing sex acts!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I'm one of those conservatives who has never subscribed to the full-meal-deal checklist

Sounds like Rachel is a "Cafeteria Conservative."

[arthurus]

To be an actual conservative with a column one needs to be at least mildly conversant with economics. If the service is “free” that just means that everyone who pays premiums is paying for it, including the bishop and the parishioners. In fact they are paying for it for everybody instead of just for themselves. It is not an improvement. If one is compatible with abortion and contraception being the norm in a civilized society then what is one doing writing for a putatively conservative site like Town Hall?

[freedumb2003]

>>Who is Rachel Marsden and what conservative credentials does she have?<<

Obviously some slut.
