We’ll fight to the death for our religious freedom.” Ugh, hysterical hyperbole much? You are not in Egypt or China. 

I’m really getting concerned about Palin. Her hotness just isn’t what it used to be. She should take a cue from Greta and “take some time off” for repairs.

Because abstinence works so well, Grannie?

It’s a great American tragedy that we are now pinning Catholic women down, pinching their nostrils together and forcing birth control pills down their throats, isn’t it?

It worked for her kids.  Oh, wait.

Former 1/2 term Governor of Alaska apparently has no faith in these devout religious people she is trying to protect.  If they do not believe in birth control, do not request it.  No cost to the church or the insurance plan, if no one needs to pay for them. Sarah, have faith.

Screeeeech!

We have passed that point.

Isn’t this story out of date since the churches aren’t being forced to do anything, its the insurance companies

Does Obama have any limits on his power?

“Can Obama Order Grocers to Give Away Bread?”

http://cnsnews.com/blog/terence-p-jeffrey/can-obama-order-grocers-give-away-bread

well at least he’s consistent with his un-american ideology.

 Frankly, if the Roman Catholic church receives federal funding for any purpose, they should be held to federal mandates.

The absurd thing about this is that by limiting access to contraceptives, they are increasing the chances of unwanted pregnancies and abortion.  Contraception is the only effective and realistic way to reduce abortion.

Republicans have nothing else to run on… soon they will be asking for the college grades again.

Who is this lady and why does she feel the need to label things “un-American”? 

 The Catholic women I know would kill for their birth control.

‘…We’ll fight to the death, this is an Un-American Act!’

Hyperbole…Hyperbole…Hyperbole!

If she spent as much time on her politics as she does on her hair, she might have something meaningful to say…

How about religious institutions paying property tax and corporate taxes on commercial enterprises

You know what’s also un-American?

Getting elected to govern your state, and quitting midway through so you can cash in on your fleeting popularity.

USA! USA! USA!

Hardly, nothing’s changed except instead of the church paying directly the insurance company they already pay is now required to provide it for free, which will have them in turn raise the rates to the church to recover the expense.  Its like if they require you to put a certain chemical on your lawn and you say no way, so they instead add the service to your water bill and put the chemical on your lawn regardless – even though it may kill your kids or you otherwise have an extreme aversion to it…

word salad, word salad, word salad, word salad, word salad

Was Sarah on birth control during her Glen Rice phase?

Ice on Rice

Sarah, the Info Babe, didn’t think twice
When she got her first chance to entice
A black basketball star
‘Cause she loved that  coal tar
So she hit it like she was White on Rice!

Both Mitt and Sarah were great this morning.  It would make no sense for Sarah to be a VP candidate again, but Mitt couldn’t find a better running mate otherwise.  If she campaigns for him she’ll add the positive tone conservatives will need to understand the constant beat down by liberals and the media is a reflection on the liberals, not the conservatives who love this country and simply have a different opinion on issues for how to move forward.  The ideology of the left is to attack (just see posts on Mediaite) a person directly and their intelligence or sanity instead of admitting they have a different argument to make.  Being told you are a loser and stupid can grate on you, but a strong woman like Palin can take it – which infuriates the bullies all the more.  I love it in part because when I was growing up (poor) I would often stick up for victims of bullies and it used to infuriate them that they couldn’t intimidate me or get me mad – that just gave me all the more confidence that how I was handling them was the right way.

Nice because that is the real underlying issue, contrary to the way that liberals want to paint this fight as a war on women….  that is total bs, it is a fight about does the government have the rights to mandate whatever it sees fit upon the individuals and commerce of this country…  Nobody is trying to say that women do not have the right to access birth control, just that the government has no right to mandate that someone else pay for it, especially when it may go against their religious belief. 

More and more this president looks like Hugo Chavez to me, as this is exactly what has happened in Venezuela with disastrous effect, Chavez has tried to level the field and make things right for the less fortunate in his society by mandating his will throughout his society and has destroyed much of his economy while doing so…  

 Palin already cost McCain an election. You really think someone else would risk picking her as VP? Dream on.

98% of all Catholic women have used birth control. More Americans are with Obama on this issue than against him. Who should he be more concerned about, women and lay people or a bunch of old Catholic dudes who helped cover up child abuse?

Rhetorical questions do not require an answer, so may I offer then a quick analysis; This lady seems to be obsessed with trying to remain relevant in the current theater of politics and fails miserably, thus making the rest of us miserable every time she opens her mouth and we hear that shrill voice repeating the same mantra over and over. One day soon she will fade back into obscurity and all will be well. Just be patient.
  

If you think that you probably also think Obama is the 4th best President ever.  

“You’ve confused the war on religion with not getting everything you want. It’s called being part of a society” – Jon Stewart

Her neglect of Trig is an un-American act.  Her abandonment of Alaska’s populace was an un-American act.  Her lack of basic Constitutional knowledge and American History is un-American.  I bet she can’t even sing our National Anthem unless it’s written on her palm.

Like tax exemptions

 You don’t think Palin hurt McCain? Open your eyes. There’s an anecdote in Game Change that tells it all. Obama’s team was holding town halls with undecided voters all over the country. Over and over again, people (especially older voters) would talk about how concerned they were with Obama’s religion, experience, etc., and Obama’s surrogates would ask them why they were at a meeting of undecided voters if they were so clearly against him. The answer was always the same: Sarah Palin. You may like her, but most American voters do not. Sorry.

Thats bullshit.McCain was leading in the polls AFTER he chose Palin.
He lost because of the finacial meltdown and voted with the rest of the hacks for the bailouts.

‘Please pay attention to me! I’m still a relevant political figure! Look! Look! I can declare things relating to the current administration un-american! People love that right? Contraception mandate? Un-American! Every idea that comes from the left? Un-American! Obama’s hair? Un-American!’

She really is beginning to remind me of a small child trying to get attention from her family, jumping up and down, saying ridiculous things to try and get them to pay attention to her, Next she’ll be running a bus tour where she travels America, pulling people’s sleeves or screaming to try and get them to look at her.

 She’ll be on Dancing With The Stars any day now…

Speak for yourself.  I love when she speaks, only damages the Republican brand even further.

GameChange is not something I’d consider a valid source of anything, when it first came out it was caught in a whole bunch of falsehoods.   

In 2008, there was lots of anger over how Hillary was treated by the media and the Obama campaign, and those may have been the voters you reference, or they may have been among the many who really are turned off by Palin.  Overall, at least on the conservative side, she was lightning for McCain’s campaign.  Prior to her being picked his events were lightly attended and had little excitement.  His campaign events became like rock star concerts once she showed up and donations to his campaign exploded.   If she hadn’t been so overwhelmingly attacked by the media she would have been a no brainer as a candidate for this cycle.  As it is, I hope she is offered and considers a cabinet position,  which will match up well with her experience in Alaska.

My goodness.

“…to pick a fight with faith-filled Americans. You know, we will fight…to the death for our freedom of religion and for the rights that are protected by our United States Constitution.”

She doesn’t speak for all faith-filled Americans, and this has nothing to do with any constitutional right. This is about health-care options for women, period. Do institutions nominally affiliated with religion have the right to deprive women of access to health-care options? I am a person of faith, and I say no, they do not.

and if you receive federal aid you shouldn’t be allowed to vote (which is the pinnacle of free expression)… proggies inhabit the slippery slope so often they don’t even realize when their on it.

Oh and free contraception is a universal right, as is toilet paper, and no fair minded person should be expected to wipe their own………  it’s unfair

maybe sarah should have told her sexual active daughters about birth control instead of preacticing abstanience

And I got blasted the other day for sayn Michelle was better looking then Palin. Look at that picture.

And this has what to do with what I said, I personally think that women should use and have access to birth control, but I oppose the government mandating services to be provided by private employers in this country….  if this goes unchecked then what is the limit placed on the government to regulate any and all aspects of our lives?  

It is like the article that Gloves points to, who is to stop the government from deciding that grocers give away free bread?  That sounds like a good idea that many will benefit from…  but it would be accompanied but many negative effects that liberals just don’t see as they only see the free bread and how they will benefit from it.

That is the thing about liberals, you see only what you consider gain in granting such power to the government as you fail to see the cost to personal liberty and to personal economic freedom as nothing in this society comes for free…  More amazingly you grant to the federal government the power of tyranny by allowing such precedent, you may like to mandates of today, maybe not so much the mandates of tomorrow, but you have allowed the foundation to be set for governmental control of many aspects of the lives of our people.  

Game Change was mostly boring, regurgitating things already widely reported on while using too many anonymous sources. But that story always seemed credible to me. Palin generated lots of conservative passion and support, but McCain needed someone who appealed to moderates and independents. She did not.

He lost because he was a republican!

Sarah is absolutley right. Obama is un american.
Forcing a church to go against its beliefs is totally unamerican and goes against the constitution.
And everything this country originally stood for.People originally came to this country for specificaly that..religious freedom.

heres a little story about a King forcing a jewish family to eat pork…shortly before a revolution

(Antiochus IV Epiphanes arrested a mother and her seven sons, and tried to force them to eat pork. When they refused, he tortured and killed the sons one by one. The narrator mentions that the mother “was the most remarkable of all, and deserves to be remembered with special honour. She watched her seven sons die in the space of a single day, yet she bore it bravely because she put her trust in the Lord.”

They’re not mandating the church to pay for it. According to the compromise, the insurance companies will be required to step in if the employer does not provide such healthcare services.

That article is from CNS News. I can’t think of many sources less credible. Birth control is unaffordable for thousands if not millions of women. And easy on the overly broad generalizations. They’re lazy and almost always untrue.

Can’t anyone just disagree on an issue without calling the other side un-american or anti-american? Both sides are guilty of this and it should stop. Let’s have a more respectful debate.

The highlight of her life was riding a Black Wolverine!

It appears you are the one who is bullshitting.  It’s obvious you have a computer, so why don’t you do research prior to claiming such falsehoods. Obama and McCain were virtually in a dead heat up until October (taking into consideration the margin of error.)  Some days Obama was ahead two points, some days McCain was ahead by  three points.  Then, in October, after Palin was done prancing around the country talking about lipstick and hockey, she was forced into doing interviews, which ultimately caused the demise of their campaign.  Obama was leading McCain by at least 11 points the first month of October of 2008.

Leading for how long? It gave his campaign a brief jolt, which is normal after a VP selection. It obviously didn’t last. If you don’t think Palin hurt McCain in the general election, you need to get out more. 

Oh no, health insurance companies are required to provide basic health insurance coverage? This is a travesty!

This didn’t help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwggusZYMQE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

CTRL-C, CTRL-V…well done.

98% of all Catholic women have used birth control.

Thats fine, and thats IS NOT the argument. They can use it all they want.
But you can’t (government) force a religious institution to provide it if its not what they believe in…completley unconstitutional.
Catholic church is saying take all the birth control you want but you ain’t getting it here

That’s the DNC talking point anyways, thanks for sharing.

 ”and if you receive federal aid you shouldn’t be allowed to vote (which
is the pinnacle of free expression)… proggies inhabit the slippery
slope so often they don’t even realize when their on it.”

I’m not sure you understand what a ‘slippery slope’ is.  You accuse me of ‘inhabiting’ it right after you use it in an argument.  Are you trying to be ironic or do you just not know what you’re talking about?

Her fake piety is palpable…where is that star of david she was wearing when courting the jews?  Replace with a big cross now I see…

“And easy on the overly broad generalizations. They’re lazy and almost always untrue.”
Where the argument comes from is irrelevant as it is the principle of the argument that is of substance, you deflect, but really you have said nothing…  

There is an economic cost to governmental mandates that will manifest themselves in different manners as they are enacted, usually in the form of inflation and unemployment, plus the government assumes authority that it is hard to see where this authority is derived from or how such authority once affirmed will be limited to the current circumstances.. This is the topic that I am discussing, as I said before, I believe in birth control, and I do not believe that women should be denied access to it…  but I also do not believe in the unrestricted authority of the federal government and for me this is the far larger issue.  

Your story bares no resemblence to a government policy that asks all employers, religious or otherwise, to provide reproductive care to woman.  On the other hand, the notion that some person or employer can try to force woman to not use birth control, because they do not believe in it, now that sounds closer to your story.

Pardon me…Wikpedia

This whole issue is such a scam.

So it boils down to whether or not the government should pay for birth control? I guess we can agree to disagree. 

Glad you brought it up. Why don’t you ask for them? This guy never has been the sharpest tool in the shed. You only believe what you’ve been told. By the way, have all you regressive liberals allowed little o to mess with the constitution so much, that you don’t even know what America is anymore? Palin is exactly right, again. Don’t be confused or deceived by the obama obfuscation. This whole contraception deceception was a feint to the left and then a wild swing with the right. Fortunately, I think it’s going to put obama down for the count.
Love seeing Palin tweak the regressives. Yes I mean regressives, not progressives.
Dimmer light bulbs, slower cars that travel shorter distances, less military strength weakening America’s standing in the world, occupiers living like we are an uncivilized nation. Thanks pres., this is great.

If insurers are providing it, what’s the problem? 

mocking your slightly less ridiculous statement:
“Frankly, if the Roman Catholic church receives federal funding for any purpose, they should be held to federal mandates.”

your position on funding is purely fascism… now sit and think about it and if you have an honest bone in your body you’ll recant

Government isn’t forcing them to provide BC, the insurance companies will be. The basis of your outrage is no more.

simple mind.

“Your story bares no resemblence to a government policy that asks all employers, religious or otherwise, to provide reproductive care to woman”

The government isn’t ASKING anything its MAKING you at gunpoint provide it.

 ” the notion that some person or employer can try to force woman to not use birth control, because they do not believe in it”

The catholic church is not forcing a woman not to do anything, the church is not going to be forced to be thee enablers.

We can agree to disagree, but that is not even the question here, the government is not saying in any regard that it will pay for birth control as it is mandating that private employers pay for it… Birth control is not the issue for me so much as what I see as an overreach of federal authority…

But I do not expect for us to come to agreement on our values. I am not a social conservative, but I am concerned about an unconstrained government… I do not like Bush any more than I like Obama, in fact as much as I may not like about this president and his politics I can at least respect the fact that he does not so much hide his agenda as Bush did. Bush was a progressive dressed in conservative clothing, I hope that republicans come to understand this about their party, as much of the republican establishment are conservatives only in outward appearances and for the most part will never accomplish or even attempt to accomplish the agendas they promote.

Your whole premise is a lie.
They can get BC anywhere else they want.The catholic church is not going to provide it.

This Obambicare is going to get thrown out by the supremes any.

 I believe it is wise to have private insurers pay for birth control. I don’t believe that is an example of overreach.

Kind of like Obama wearing an American pin.

dumb. contraception is not basic health coverage. Or is it considered preventive medicine to the undisciplined hamsters among us, a child being the dread disease? G

I ask you then, since insurance is not sold over state lines and that is why insurance has always been regulated by the states, from where does the federal government draw its authority to regulate health insurance?

Levi is a black wolverine?

True, pregnancy isn’t a healthcare issue at all. It’s like having a cold for 9 months.

 Using an absurd slippery slope argument when I didn’t use one myself, and then accusing me of relying on slippery slope arguments when you just did so yourself is not ‘mocking’, it’s stupid. 

Not only do you have no idea how to apply the slippery slope fallacy, you clearly don’t have an understanding of fascism.  Wanting an entity that benefits from federal tax dollars to follow federal mandates is not fascism. 

Bullshit they are making them do it indirectly.
Hey this president have given a bunch of states and about a 1000 different waivers to his disasterous health care plan to unions he can give one to the catholic church.

Yes because the flag barer of when to use contraception is the Palin household…

Next you will have Mayor Berry wanting a crack down on the crack trade. 

Let me guess – because you think he is un-American…brilliant.  Why don’t you just call him a pinko-commie Kenyan Alinskyite?  It’s just as good.

It is a fact Palin is persona non grata here in Alaska. We HATE quitters and we HATE grifters, and Palin is both.

 Please hold your breath on that one…

 Commerce clause.

so your previous point being…?

ok

The mother of a knocked-up teenage daughter is against contraception availability….figures…lol

Right, he’s also forcing them to take $3.1 billion in federal funding as well, right. Let me guess, he forced their pope to come out & fully support universal healthcare also. That tricky Obama!

That you could remedy a pregnancy with orange juice, chicken soup, & plenty of rest.

That you could remedy a pregnancy with orange juice, chicken soup, & plenty of rest.

Gun to the head? Is it a gun to the head to be forced to, for example, drive at the government mandated speed limit? There are many laws that we are forced to comply with. You are forced to buy liability insurance for your car as a condition to drive, isn’t that the same thing?

In this country we prefer the individual to make the decision on birth control, not some third party.

Like the way teabastards wants to have stranglehold on women rights. Simply amazing. BTW GO GIANTS!!!

My condolences to your mother for her “illness”.  Perhaps she, not to mention the world, would have been better off if she’d been cured before it was too late.

Sara did him too? Wow I was talking about Glenn Rice

Why do you think we have so much respect for our mothers? Do you know how much of a risk it is to carry another human being inside you for so long? Don’t give my mother any condolences, if I were you, I would call up your mom & thank her for going thru all that so you could have a chance at this world. She did not have to go thru all that.

“remedy”, excellent choice of words, given the discussion.

Is it a gun to the head to be forced to, for example, drive at the government mandated speed limit?”

Try not stopping for a cop and see what happens.

“In this country we prefer the individual to make the decision on birth control, not some third party.”

THE INDIVIDUAL HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE THAT DECISION!!!!
 THE ONLY THIRD PARTY TRYING TO CONTROL SOMEONE ELSES DECISION IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!!!
THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTROL THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN WAY THEY HAVE PRACTICED IT FOR 2000 YEARS!!!!

satham, let’s cut to the chase. Contraception is to accomodate recreation, not pro-creation. Nothing wrong with that. It is not, obviously, to help avoid the inevitable pain of child birth, which is what you seem to be hinting at. I assume this from your facetious comments, chicken soup, etc. When the decision is made to have a child, the impending pain is taken into consideration.
My point is, recreation is not to be passed off as some “health care” issue, and covered by insurance companies. Come on.

 If you would have made the comparison to the way Obama miraculously has a strong southern accent when he’s in that region, I could go for that.  Or any other fake representation (maybe that he was underprivileged or soemthing), I could go for that.  But to say he’s un-American reeks of school-yard desperation.

So why have insurance companies provided this coverage all along?

Palin is a dog whistle to all Neanderthal conservatives. She knows their buzz words. “What!??! Did Sarah say ‘fight to the death’? Obama is ‘un-American’!? I hates those words!!! Thanks Sarah and Fox News for telling me the truth. Now I’m frothing at the mouth with anger and hatred! Just the way I like it! Now, where’s my gun?”

Ha haha ha hah ha haha, (rolling on the floor), reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal funny!

He hehehehhehhehheh, ho hohohohoo, (tears in the eyes) hahahah, another sidesplitter!

Really?  What liberal blog did you pull that from?   From what I can tell even liberal polls show her at about 40%, which sounds pretty good to me considering 99% of Democrats would vote negative no matter what the rest do.  Many of these are the same Democrats who gave her high marks the day before she was selected as VP based on her work up to then.

Why is this woman still offereing her opinion on anything.  Sarah is a quitter and loser…what kind of people would follow or listen to her.  She is so irrelevant at this point.  The tea baggers need to find another mouthpiece….she is really hurting their cause.  Go away, Sarah, you were too dumb to be the VP…you lost, try to spend time your children….. like be a mother.

If the shoe fits wear it!

 All these people in these “Church affiliated” (note it’s not the churches themselves) pay money in taxes outside of the church – money which goes to build weapons which kill thousands of people.  The church is against this, but there is nothing they can do. 

 What an ignorant statement.Figures you would be for The Sarah Palin.Geez you people are foolish. Hasn’t she shamed how foolish you are enough already for believing and backing her? The Sarah Palin is a snake oil saleswoman with lots and lots of foolish easily  lead peoples money.You can have her.

Why did she let Bristol take birth control pills if it’s so important to her?

Why is this woman still offereing her opinion on anything.

Because she is still contractually obligated to do so until the end of this fiscal year.

I suspect Faux News won’t renew her contract (why would they?) and come Obama Inauguration Day 2013, Sarah will mysteriously disappear.

 Uh oh…someone doesn’t know what the waivers are…silly NEPatriots…better luck next season, I mean post.

“Welcome to government-mandated health care!” I’m sorry. Did I wake up in another universe werein the government wasn’t involved before Obama won office? Could someone please point me to this utopia of Jack Daniels anethesia and burn the stump ampitutations?

I would love to visit this woman’s brain just for the weekend.

 Think of a cat chasing around a ball on a string – there, you just visited her brain.

 Would be a dull trip.

 ”Not something I’d consider a valid source of anything”

hehehebelehehehe

So you mean’t, literally, a “gun to the head”, or are you engaging in more hyperbole?

You misunderstand what the federal law does. It simply wants to make birth control pills and other reproductive care available to woman. The choice of whether to use birth control pills, therefore, with they being available (and not unavailable in which case there would be no choice), is with the woman. If the Catholic church had their way, they would deny that choice by making the pills, and the doctor care associated with a prescription for the pills, unavailable. Sure, the person could go out and spend a few hundred dollars on another doctor for her reproductive care, but that requirement is unnecessary because the insurance companies have agree to pay for that birth control free of charge, within the existing insurance plans. There is no moral dilema for the religious institution other than the sour grapes associated with Obama totally out playing them.

 BS The Catholic cult thinks they can do whatever they want. Americans wont take much of what they say to heart tho since they harbor men who like sex with little boys.

LOL.. and Bristol apparently thought the pills were for feeding to the grizzlies ..

So tell me, are drugs for erectile dysfunction necessary? Why would a man need a drug (which your repub reps have coverage for) to get it up? Is ED really a health problem? Any man who can’t ‘do the job’ is shit out of luck, and maybe just too old. Getting old is not a disease.

BC pills are used for other reasons as well as for contraception.

A rhetorical question: Why do so many old, white men want to control women’s bodies? Creepy!

If Palin would keep an aspirin between her legs she shouldn’t have any more low life children.  But, Todd likes to lick the asspirin and probably can get a teen athlete to knock her up to have more sinners.

Oh my, someone who believes the dimwitted palin is right. We are in serious trouble now.

The HUGE problem with your calculus:

Covering the cost of contraceptives is FAR less expensive for an insurance company than covering the cost of pre- and post-natal care, not to mention the additon of another insured (the baby). 

For this reason, imposing a contraceptive mandate absolutely will increase costs of coverage on precisely no one – not the insurance company, not the employer, and not the individual.

There’s a reason the insurance companies love this rule – it saves them shit tons of money.

So you think that an employer should be able to deny you access to coverage for blood transfusions because she is a Jehovah’s Witness, or psychiatric medication because she is a Scientologist, or any health service that violates the Koran because she is Muslim?

OBAMA IS A LYING ANTI-CATHOLIC COWARD  Aside from Obama trampling on the church’s first amendment rights what about his moral cowardice and lack of leadership on the issue? When Obama met with Archbishop Dolan in November instead of frankly and fearlessly telling him what he intended to do and why he deceives him and promises that the church would be exempt from the birth control mandate. Then instead of meeting with Dolan and the Bishops to work out a satisfactory compromise (which is what leaders do) Obama unilaterally issues a final accommodation which adds insult to injury and keeps the issue alive. Now with rising Catholic (and Evangelical) anger over Obama’s mandate (64% of Catholics support the Bishops according to Rasmussen) what does Obama do? He miscalculates again and doubles down. Obama has stirred up a hornets nest that will sting him all the way to election day. GO OBAMA, GO!

My goodness, many of these comments suggest that President Obama is force feeding Catholic women birth control they don’t want. Excuse me, but my insurance covers contraception. It has for years, as do many. So what, I think it should be covered, it is the option of the insured as to whether or not they get it. How is this war on the Church…..last time I checked we had free will. I work in a CATHOLIC Hospital, I work in a CATHOLIC clinic, we write scripts for birth control. Does she think Catholic women don’t take birth control? She’s fooling herself, and the rest of the sheeple who follow her. If these women were not taking birth control, we’d be seeing 1 out of 5 women being octomoms!
Let’s be real. The GOP doesn’t like ANYTHING the President does, and it becomes a matter of debate, no matter how dumb it is. This is a non issue, no Constitutional Rights are being violated. All of you people calling for President Obama to be impeached, please refer to a viable impeachable offense, he’s committed NONE. Oh, HOW DARE THIS PRESIDENT TRY TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE TO EVERYONE? It’s a no win situation because if it had been the reverse, then critics would be yelling about overpopulation, having to pay for families receiving welfare because they have too many kids, child neglect,etc. etc. Get off it already.

Honest questions for the people who agree with Sarah Palin:

Should your employer be able to deny you coverage for a life-saving blood tranfusion because s/he happens to be a Jehovah’s Witness?

Should s/he be able to deny your children prescription coverage for their autism or ADD because s/he is a Scientologist?

She s/he be able to deny your children vaccination coverage because s/he has a religious objection?

Many Muslim scholars believe that the Qu’ran prohibits organ transplants – should your Muslim boss have the right to deny you and your family coverage for a life-saving organ transplant?

Yeah, like that was happening before this dust up… employers offered healthcare as part of the employment package, they defined that package as part of the overall compensation, I don’t seem to recall exclusions for blood transfusions or psychiatric medication… could you please find some examples of such exclusions currently as the new regulations have not yet taken effect.

 Haha – right?!?  Once her mom put her on the pill, Bristol thought she only had to worry about STDs…hahahahaha.

 LOL

I thought I flushed the toilet and there she is again along with Glenn Beck being a catholic now!

Sarah Palin mandated that Bristol Palin take birth control pills before the age of 18…despite any religious objections her daughter may have had.

Palin mandated that Bristol Palin take birth control medicine…how can you believe all of her phony piety and contrived concern (alliterative, isn’t it?).

The Catholic Church is obscenely rich, yet still receives federal aid?

Maybe they need to do what ordinary folk do:
get yet another job at minimum wage
sell personal belongings
do not go out to dinner, or anywhere that costs money
buy food that has passed its ‘best before’ date, dented cans, old bread, etc.
walk everywhere
wear clothing until it is threadbare
cash in child’s university fund
give blood
shop at charity organizations, boycotting the Catholic Church, of course

…and then of course, there’s always the sex industry for those who are well-endowed and can get it up (sans ED drugs).

I’m sure there are many people who could add more tips for those who are losing, or have lost everything.

in essence accepting federal dollars is to forfeit your Constitutional rights.  

You are basically saying that if you have your hand out you don’t get to redress your government.    It is textbook slippery slope.. take this small, insignificant cookie, then take another small insignificant cookie, and 10 cookies later you are their indentured servant.  It is a fundamental tenant of progressive command and control tactics, also organized crime tactic .  If you take Social Security you can’t complain about Federal Spending, if you take a farm subsidy you can’t criticize the government.  If your kids go to government school you can’t criticize the school.I’ll grant that federal moochers can’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but it doesn’t revoke their rights as citizens.

I’ll decline when you come to my storefront to offer me “protection”

 Well now you’re talking sense…but many do not want to hear you.

 What I find funny..Is that you know that the Church would back paying for Viagra. Cost of ONE pill cost more than the annual cost of a generic BC Pill.

Go sell one of your ghost written books, Palin. My wife bought one out of curiosity and threw it in the trash.Your life is meaningless. Just fade away or go back to clubbing fish and feigning disgust. Yeeech.

talk to the people of alaska…the majority are sick of her and her antics.

 You know…Listening to you rant…Wants me to have some stupid ass laws passed for men. Saying that life begins with the ejaculate. So, you wouldn’t be able to JO anymore without being charged for murdering of a child, under the new “personhood” laws.

Perhaps you could provide some evidence that Sarah Palin is opposed to the availability of contraception.

 So when you wrote “a church” did you mean any and every church?

“You are basically saying that if you have your hand out you don’t get to redress your government.”

No, I’m not saying that at all.  I’m saying that if you’re benefiting from federal dollars you should follow federal law.

“t is textbook slippery slope.. take this small, insignificant cookie,
then take another small insignificant cookie, and 10 cookies later you
are their indentured servant.”

No, it’s not a ‘textbook slippery slope’.  The ‘slippery slope’ is a logical fallacy on which your argument is currently relying, not a ‘tenant’ of anything.  It is a faulty argument tactic that occurs when one assumes that a single event A will result in a chain of events that ends with result Z.  Unless you can factually establish the contingencies between every event that occurred between A and Z, which you haven’t done, it is a fallacy.

“If you take Social Security you can’t complain about Federal Spending,
if you take a farm subsidy you can’t criticize the government.  If your
kids go to government school you can’t criticize the school”

Now, these assertions are textbook slippery slope.  When has any of this ever been the case?!?  A great deal of the Tea Party are SS recipients, but I don’t see police firing tear gas into Tea Party rallies to silence their complaints regarding federal spending.  Farmers have every right to criticize their government.  And in regards to criticizing public school, you clearly have never been to a PTA meeting.

The only time that McCain was ahead in the polls was after he picked Palin.  His inept reaction to the meltdown and the ineptitude of his campaign team Schmidt and Wallace were the real causes of his loss.  While Palin did poorly in some interviews she recovered ground in the debate with that buffon Biden.  Also the exit polls in Nov showed clearly that those voters for whom the VP pick was a factor voted 58/42% in favour of McCain/Palin.

When you clear away all the rubbish written about Palin and tear way the mask of her more vitriolic critics it is not difficult to see why she is hated with the hatred of despair by a generation of liberal vipers–her refusal to kill her fifth child.

 I just watched a video of Sarah complaining that Obama doesn’t understand the constitution in regards to the whole Catholic contraception “debate”.  The constitution does not imply that religion should have anything to do with the business of the government.  In fact, it’s quite the opposite – FIRST AMENDMENT:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Also, from a practical and common-sense standpoint, doesn’t it make sense to provide the option of contraception to a group that 98% of its members support, regardless of what the celibate priests, cardinals, bishops, etc. have to say?

Anything to make a debate out of thin air.  Republicans cannot and will not see the forest for the trees.  Pathetic.

 Sorry for the reply down here when it should be up higher where there were only Likes. I’m guessing that you have to be a man.
Unlike men who can put a raincoat on the “little one” every time they desire not to procreate. Taking Birth Control Pills is nothing like that.
They take pills everyday of the year.

 And as I pointed out earlier..The cost of one Viagra pill costs more than the annual cost of a generic Birth Control Prescription. But let me guess when you get to that age..And your “little one” doesn’t rise to the occasion on it’s own you’ll want to have your Viagra covered by your insurance. And if you’re feel frisky enough to take Viagra every day, it would cover the price of over 500 Annual Prescriptions of BC Pills.

 But wait..if you happen to be Obese like 33% of Americans are why should my insurance pay for your health problems?

 Sorry…we in America try and embrace all Americans. Not just those who agree with our views.

 As I’ve said other times…I hate the Tea Party and some of the GOP who are “Party First”, and “Americans Last”.

 But unfortunately the TP/GOP has seen fit to have Pledged to Grover Norquist and feels that their allegiance should be to him and not to America and the Flag they want kids to pledge to in our schools.

So you don’t think people who receive federal aid should be able to vote..Damn son..
Although the people might not be making much money they do pay taxes. And we fought a war 236 years ago because of “Taxation without Representation”. Or did your Church run school say God created the US.

Now you know that public schools districts receive aid depending on the number of students.
So that means that anyone that has a child in school or has ever had a child in school should not be allowed to vote. So you are left with Old Maids, Old Dirty Men who sneak peaks at the Old Maids, Gays & Lesbians, as well as childless couples, who tend to be very liberal. Gay Marriage would pass countrywide in a heartbeat under your contentions..

Oh wait you probably wanted to exclude those people on Social Security that paid into the fund for years. And paid into the Medicare fund as well. Make sure you let your parents or grandparents that you don’t think they have the right to vote because they are receiving federal aid in those monthly checks.

I’m still trying to understand how a business that happens to be owned by the Catholic Church… but isn’t religious… can claim it’s being forced to violate its morals.
But then, I’m still trying to figure out how a COMPANY can have religious views. I thought that was something that only people… you know, employees… had.
Too bad these companies don’t want to let their employees exercise their religious views. I guess they know what’s best for us…

Michelle is way prettier, more beautiful and gorgeous than palin ever was.

Thank you. It’s the insufferable clown’s ignorance showing again. More high intelligence from a woman who had a “death panels” mental breakdown. 

I wouldn’t ask that nut the time of day. 

Moran.

Gee you’re witty a real word smith. They could use you in RMoneys campaign

They coulda used birth controll in the Palin house! I bet she wishes her daughter did!

I thought your nick ment reptile. hahahaha We wont see you past November or maybe even before.
Why don’t you tell us all whom you will vote for in November? I will vote Obama.

But in the same survey 55% said they would not admit it to the church. Why would that be? No the Catholic church is NOT saying take all you want, they firmly believe it is against Catholic church law! The Catholic Church is all about intimidation, and I see it still works.

Most likely Charlie, the Catholic women you know are married, have their kids, and their husbands have had a vasectomy.

Contraception has not been an issue in this country since 1970…Why do you think its an issue now?

You know Frank, if only your first name was Hank…I could have some respect for your replies. 

This was not a Republican issue, until that guy-whatever his name was-made it one on the debate, when he asked Romney if birth control was a state’s issue…It was a non-issue, but now the bait and switch. 

I don’t know why I waste my time trying to convince a liberal that being wrong about something is a possibility (probability) but here I  go again…trying to teach the all-knowing unteachable:

I don’t classify a non-profit as a business and it isn’t a “he” or “she” denying you coverage on anything. It’s a belief that it is wrong.

Even if it were a business…I believe a “business” owner has the right to run his/her business as he/she chooses and the employee has the right to stay or quit.

Should insurance companies provide our tooth brushes, and tooth paste? Oh, don’t forget to floss!

How about tissue paper (for cleanliness right?).

Ok, What about body soap, athlete’s foot medication, and hydrocortisone cream for sensitive skin (that breaks out in a rash)…

All that stuff is “preventative” isn’t it? And yet, we BUY that stuff, don’t we?

Geez. Food could be classified as a prevention from starving…maybe the government will mandate that too. 

 So….by your reasoning….Kathleen Sibelius is now our mother and can decide that we need to be mandated to take birth control…paid for by others… enen though we are adults and Bristol was a minor?
Who’s your Daddy?

No answer necessary…it’s obvious

In reply Satanic, to your comment about the remedy for a pregnancy…I’m thinking yes…Rest, plenty of food and nutritious food, and nine months later, after the birth of your lovely child, you will no longer be pregnant. 

Excellent remedy…for you and for “guest”. 

Donny, my old Friend!
     In reply to whom you are voting for…I would have to say you remind me of an ostrich. 

     Maybe you want to articulate the reasons you would vote again, for Obama?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Nicely said, Jack. 

Birth control is NOT an issue…its completely available to EVERYONE!

Wake up and smell the coffee-this issue is a bait and switch. 

Wait. You did not NOT just say, “Birth Control is Unaffordable for thousands, if not millions of women”…Did you?

Because, a box of condoms doesn’t cost much. Oh, and then there is always the choice to NOT have sex. But, condoms are cheap. In fact, I will check the prices for you tomorrow, as I go shopping, because its a ONE STOP SHOP.

Never agree to disagree.

Get the government out of our lives…

What if…What if the government deemed you too stupid (and this is hypothetical, here, not an attack on you) or didn’t like your gene’s you know, for procreation…How would you like it IF the government mandated you, along with a certain segment of the population, to be sterilized?

Sterilization is after all, birth control. 

Why should insurers pay for birth control? Why? 

You know, basically, you are talking about birth control for women…Birth control pills aren’t completely safe for longterm use. A woman is only fertile about 5 days Out of the month (and all the science and medical people are going to disagree)…and I’m being generous…Most fertile at ovulation, figure 24 hours before, and 24 hours after, BUT, I like to work in an extra day before and after ovulation, for security. This isn’t difficult. Its not rocket science. Its fertility. Some vaginal environments are more hospitable to sperm, and therefore, are more susceptible to procreation.

BC should not be mandated. Its not that expensive, its more of a convenience.   

The problem with idiot losers like Sarah Palin and her kind is the fact that anyone who does not espouse their skewed ideologies and views is considered to be un-American.  Basically, the truth is a trick question when it is posed to Sarah and her kind. 

NOTE:  Is it just me or am I really requiring more beers for her to look as hot and sexy as when she wanted to be John McCain’s VP???

 No – that’s by your reasoning.  By my reasoning – Palin’s offense and astonishment is contrived…because we know she doesn’t care about the religious aspects of contraceptives (gave them to her daughter like pez).  It’s a sham, just like your posts dufus.  “Who’s your Daddy?” hahaha – who are you?  The Greaseman?  Yeah, he sucked too.  Hahahahahaha.

I LIVE in Alaska fool. And when I write something about the Britch to Nowhere you can be assured it’s accurate. Palin LITERALLY couldn’t be elected to ANY public office in Alaska again. She’s a LAUGHINGSTOCK HERE.

Commerce clause regulates commerce between the states, and as much as it has been used to usurp authority from the states, not so sure that it works here as insurance is not sold over state lines.. that I know of. 

Two minutes into it and I have to pause it to say “WHAT A STEAMING LOAD OF CRAP!

True, that’s all you need, childbirth never has complications those remedies can’t solve.

 I thought of that when she was welcomed with “Govenor”  Shouldn’t you at least finish one term to still be called that?

I agree, nsurance companies shouldn’t be required to provide anything. They should just take our money & laugh at us if we ever need anything.

Four minutes into it and I can’t stand it anymore. She prattles on repeating nonsense talking points as if they are the obvious truth to all “freedom loving americans”

She may do well with the American Poltical Idol viewers, but some of us put a little more thought into it. 

 um, the Catholic church has been around for 2000 years

I hear that some of those employees take the paycheck given to them by the church and buy contreceptives with them.
It’s a ridiculous doctrine that their own members ignore. Fox Noise can whip up their fan base with this nonsense but that’s about it.

Why would I vote for Obama again? The economy is improving, he won’t gut SS and medicare, he will let Bush tax cuts expire, among others but the #1 reason is

The mission ti kill Osama Bin Ladin was carried out under his orders!

Sarah is not a Catholic. She was born into a Roman Catholic family but she attends Wasilla Bible Church..
When in Juneau, she attends the Juneau Christian Center
Neither church teaches that contraception is wrong. Palin described herself in an interview as a “Bible-believing Christian”.
Her concerns are not just Catholic concerns but they are political in nature concerning the infringement of government on all religions.
It would be better if you did some research before making a complete idiot out of yourself by posting such drivel.

I noticed also that you evaded answering my question……Do you even know the answer?

Are you saying the Tgag Queen is tainted?

Don, 
     The economy is improving, or so we are told. Its true, the stock market is climbing. (BTW, it doesn’t bother me to agree with you, here)…Social Security won’t be there for me. Probably for you, but not for me…And I don’t despise anybody for it. 
      What peaked my interest in this reply was that the mission to kill OBL was carried out…So, that does it for you? Just it all being said? Because, friend, I was pissed that I couldn’t see the body of that bastard. Dead. I’m frankly still not convinced. 
     The fact of the matter is we are living in the “information age” and we, as a nation were deprived of real time information. Why?   We saw what happened to Saddam…Why not Osama? Why?

If you claim you are a ‘faith filled American’ and using contraceptives is against your faith then don’t use them.  No one is holding a gun to you and telling you to use contraceptives.  There are also a lot of true faith filled americans that use contraceptives.

Why should Palin care about healthcare reform.  I understand she goes to the vet for all her needs such as having her anal glands cleaned in her mouth?.
