IDBillzFan Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Back to the original topic here. Why the hell did Obama feel it was necessary to call and console her??? Because it keeps people from paying attention to the real problems in this country. That said, while it continues to make him look like a leaderless dolt, giving people something shiny to follow will help get him reelected, and we must remain focused on the prize.

....lybob Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I keep having the same argument with people: look, I don't support the Catholic church. I think their doctrine is a shining example of hypocrisy, I think they're ridiculously reactionary and stuck in the 1300's, I think they're irrational and impractical. That's why I left it...because it's a religious doctrine, not a !@#$ing dessert buffet that you can pick and choose from. If you don't like the doctrine, leave. Or work within the church to change the doctrine (fat chance of that, I know). But arguing the First Amendment is a civil rights violation? Because you can't have riskless sex (in point of fact, just without risk of pregnancy. You're using barrier contraception anyway, if you're not stupid and don't want an STD). Just !@#$ off. I like the Republican logic, in fact why just apply to birth control If you boss is a Jehovah Witness no coverage for blood transfusions If your boss is a Scientologist no coverage of psychological problems If your boss is a Christian Scientist you healthcare plan will consist of a card with the number of a prayer warrior and the advice to pray harder. Gluttony and sloth are sins so any health problems caused by obesity should not be covered The Bible says you should not eat the flesh of the swine nor touch it's hide, so no coverage for trichinosis or football injuries. And why stop at health care Catholics shouldn't have their taxes go to unjust wars, just let the Pope decide which military actions are just and unjust. Quakers shouldn't have their taxes go to any wars. Rastafarians should not only get to smoke their sacred herb in peace but they shouldn't have to pay any taxes for the suppression of their sacred herb. Since sex outside marriage is an abomination all employers should be able to force their unmarried employees to sign a celibacy pledge, violation of which results in termination, after all having a salary can help you get laid. Also the Bible says this "If he has exacted usury Or taken increase -- Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him." (Ezekiel 18:13)So obviously no real Christian can have his taxes in anyway support banks or bankers.
Dave_In_Norfolk Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Oh darn, and the Republicans were so close to closing the gender gap in the election! Well, there goes that! And Rush is a pathetic POS worshipped by the right. And, and, This sort of reminds me of Terry Shivo in a strange way, remember, Republicans passing a law for her, the Great President Bush flying to Washington to sign it. Only what Obama is doing isn't retarded, like that was. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Gary M Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 by her own admission? how? The same place people get that Rush is calling her a slut for wanting contraception coverage.

Good God, man. No wonder you're a lib. You're reality is constructed of straw men and stereotypes from generations past. Good thing the frail little flowers of the female persuasion have outraged aging hippies to walk them through this male dominated patriarchal society. It's also funny how you hypocritical liberals (redundant, I know) fill your tampons over Rush calling some feminist activist a slut but don't bat an eye when Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a €unt. And as far as the male equivalent to slut, is that even a serious question? I thought you were a doctor; did you go to the Sensetive School of Politically Correct Medicine where biology is optional and a penis is just an inverted vagina?

" i condemn maher for his comment but i think it's a little more denfendable. heck, i've called guys like you "dick's" most of my life. it's an equal opportunity type of insult.
B-Man Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Article from someone with a little closer viewpoint than us, Angela Morabito Sandra Fluke Does Not Speak for Me I’m a proud Georgetown woman upset about another Georgetown woman who may have no pride at all. How else do you explain - Ms. Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law student, now famous for testimony she never gave – jumping up to talk about her sex life (with the House Minority Leader and with the liberal media) and ask for the cost of her sex life to be subsidized by other students at a Jesuit School? Sandra Fluke was declined the privilege (a privilege, not a right) of testifying in front of a Senate Committee on the proposed contraceptive mandate. Her name was submitted too late to be admitted to testify. She’s not a lawyer. She’s not a member of the clergy – crucial for a hearing on religious freedom, wouldn’t you say? That’s what Representative Issa said. Her one claim to fame in the reproductive health care debate is…drumroll, please…being a student club leader! You go, Sandra! Hang those posters girl. Wear out those Sharpies. Having been told by Congress to more or less shut up and go home, Sandra found a sympathetic ear in Nancy Pelosi. She is not going to find one on the Georgetown Campus. She is wildly out of step. Senate Democrats needed a show pony for this circus – and they knew they could find a liberal woman on a college campus who would willingly trot around the ring. That’s why Nancy & Pals created a photo op with all the props – the microphones, the podium, an air of pretense, and the all-important liberal media – for Sandra to tell her “story.” And it is just that – a story, told on a stage. {snip} Even the oh-so-left HuffPo called Sandra out on her media sluttery: ”Fluke got the stage all to herself and was hailed as a hero by the crowd and Democratic lawmakers on the panel, all of whom rushed to appear on camera with her at the end. “Excuse me. I’d love to get a picture with our star,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said as she pushed her way through the packed room to Fluke.” Star of what? Star of the bedroom sex tape? When did Georgetown Law start admitting Kardashians? Sandra, we might be on the same campus, but we are not on the same planet. Sandra told some sob stories about how contraception isn’t covered by the Jesuit institution we attend. (Maybe they don’t cover it because, you know, they’re a Jesuit institution. Religious freedom? Anyone? Bueller?) {snip} Funny how the same side that cries “Get your rosaries off my ovaries” is the same side saying, “on second thought…please pay for me to have all the sex I want!” The people who espouse “pro-choice” “values” are the same people who say religious institutions have no right to choose. Sandra, I hope you take to heart our school’s motto of “Cura Personalis” – care of the whole person. You are so much more than your reproductive organs. Please, have some self-respect and take responsibility for your choices instead of having to beg the government for help. The government should not be able to force a religious institution – like the one we attend – to pay for the things they don’t believe in. That is pretty clear in the first amendment. But since you missed the ten commandments I can’t expect you to read the Bill of Rights either. .

Spot on! he is expressing empathy for a historically common phenomenon: disparaging threatening women. remember the witch hunts? this is the 2021 equivalent. obama just said that's not ok anymore. Wow! you really believe that? You truly are a bonafide lemming. No, really, you are. Oh darn, and the Republicans were so close to closing the gender gap in the election! Well, there goes that!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Exhibit A: Mindless meatpuppets who fall for the DNC election year strategy CONSERVATIVES ARE ANTI WOMEN It's also funny how you hypocritical liberals (redundant, I know) fill your tampons over Rush calling some feminist activist a slut but don't bat an eye when Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin a €unt. Or Ed Schultz calling Laura Ingrahm a slut. Liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds " i condemn maher for his comment but i think it's a little more denfendable. Of course it's more "denfendable" you're a hypocrite.... Duhhhhhhhh Edited March 3, 2012 by Magox

If you drop the hyper-compassionate feministic attitude towards female oppression, you might encounter one in a non-professional capacity.

The ancient Greeks could have used your advice. Ever read "lysistrata"? Condescension!?!? Treating someone like a victim is the epitome of condescension. The hilarious part is you don't even know it. You probably put chicks on a pedestal when you were younger & eventually came to believe it. I'll share a secret your Dad failed to pass on which is women don't appreciate male feminists. Women like guys that are real and treat them like a regular person while taking the lead role so she feels protected and attracted. Kissing her ass isn't getting it done. That's why you don't do so well.

Hammered a Lot Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Let's see. $3,000.00 for three years of condoms @ $0.50 per condom would cover roughly 5.5 acts of coitus a day or 2,000 acts of coitus a year or 6,000 acts of coitus in 3 years. That's a lot of coitus! Maybe she spends some of that money on cold compresses and an occasional poultice. I wonder if she works pro bone o!
