Margaret, evidently you and I are sluts, and so are the majority of women who live in this country. Well good for us. I have always said that well-behaved women rarely make history. I have also said that Rush Limbaugh is a big fat pig. Pigs and sluts. Sadly, that’s what this has all boiled down to.
In 2008, the Democratic Party had a tough decision to make. Would we give America its first female President or would we give American its first African-American President? Would we turn the corner on sexism in this country or racism? Would we finally rise above hate and bigotry and make a statement that we truly are the land of the free? Either way, we would profoundly change the world for the better. And that we did. At the same time, over in the Republican camp, that party was trying to decide if you could see Russia from Sarah Palin’s kitchen window.
This year the Republicans have another tough decision to make as well. Will they decide that Mormonism is a cult or will they decide that women who use birth control are sluts? It’s a tough call. But either way we will profoundly change the definition of just how stupid is stupid. God Bless America.
Margaret, the Republicans had a meeting about birth control and didn’t include a single woman – kind of like the Catholic Church but without the funny hats. It’s like inviting Rush Limbaugh to a Jenny Craig convention or like Sarah Palin calling a family meeting and forgetting to bring the early pregnancy test sticks. Why bother?
I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut that most of the Republican men at that meeting have a bottle of Viagra in their medicine cabinet. Why is it so hard to understand that birth control makes for better healthcare for women? And honestly why is it so hard to see that Rush is a college drop out drug addict who – like most addicts – will say anything for a buck. As entertainment that’s comedy gold, but his being a powerful Republican spokesperson ought to tell you just how low the Republican Party has sunk. You just can’t make this kind of bullshit up.
I wish November would get here already so Obama can go back to fixing what’s wrong with this country.
I mean it. Really.

I bought alcohol today. I wasn’t required to provide identification. Turns out they don’t care who I am! Who knew? They just want evidence I’m of a certain age and my face tells all the story they need.
Step round the flaming straw man. Teh straw, it burns.

Focus, please. I asked you first. How does extending equal rights to one group take away from the group that already has them?

We can try one question at a time to help keep you on track, Lets start with how you think the separation of church and state applies here.

Did you go to school in the US? I’d heard the US education system had flaws. I didn’t realize it was so pervasive. Civics, the law, logic, history, spelling and grammar all seem to be a problem for you. Is there any recourse in your country for the way you have been shortchanged?

I’m not sure where you’re trying to go but I’m pretty sure it’s away from explaining how extending equal rights to a group of people hurts the rights of a different group of people who already have them.
Are you saying some people are more equal than others?

I disagree.The argument is that they are wrong BECAUSE it comes from a religious perspective. The fact they are being called religions makes this absolutely clear.
As far as separation of church and state. Could you explain to me how you think this applies here?
Go after, in the U.s. anyways is to peruse, to seek out. The phrase is readily defined if you google it.

Sorry. Equivalency OR hypocrisy.

There is no equivalency of hypocrisy there, though.
Group A is seeking a fundamental right for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (ref Declaration of Independence) and equality (ref Bill of Rights). Group B is attempting to deny them those rights based on religious beliefs, which contradicts separation of church and state.
If Group A gets those rights, what right of Group B does that violate? Also, too, please define “go after”.

Anon their ability to go after the things they believe in for no other reason that their beliefs come from their religion. People like elsie complaint about what is being done by gays and lesbians is exactly what she and others like her are doing to religious people. I find that to be hypocritical.

I’m sorry, nagic. I read her post and her post doesn’t answer my question about what you said. What civil rights of religious people are being trounced and attacked? Thank you.
