Why would a 57-year old woman, well past her child-bearing years, care so much about killing babies? That’s what this all about, really, is killing babies. A young girl makes a mistake (a baby, as Obama once called it) and wants to kill the product of that mistake. But should a 57-year old care about that?

They are ineligible because the didn’t pay into the system. Those “in the know”, however, worked during their summers to get enough “quarters” in to be eligible. It didn’t take much, other than to swallow their pride and go “clerk” in a store a few summers, or some other entry level position. I knew tons of teachers who did that so that they could “double dip” in their retirement.

Part of this “blank” spot on their brains is that they hear of somebody’s large bonus in the private sector and assume that that person gets a bonus like that every year. They never factor in the years in that person’s career where they got no bonus, or took a cut, or worked 80 hour weeks, no vacation, no retirement, commission only, and sometimes no pay to “make it”. They hear of a well paid job in the private sector and do not realize that the holder of that job gets to hold it for 2-3 years at the most before they are eased out. It is very rare indeed for people starting out in the private sector these days to hold a job from college graduation until retirement.

the ideas of legalized abortions and marriage being defined as anything other than between one man and one woman were unthinkable.

It's unthinkable now.

this is just bootstrapping the campaign piece of contraception=abortion talking point of the administration.

The NYT is just being partisan with these faux conservatives.

for the NYT anyone that is radical left is moderate in their eyes.
