This is just a small sample of what's out there.
Y'know I have conservative friends who are always saying to me 'liberals do the same kinds of stuff'. Maybe I don't go out of my way to look for it, but is there this kind of stuff out there for Coulter or any of the prominent conservative women? Is there any of this out there for a conservative woman whose only claim to fame is giving testimony before Congress? My take on this is that Coulter and other public figures seek attention and are compensated for being public figures. As such, they are more 'fair game', although I would find those pictures offensive even if Coulter were the subject.

I seriously think that the extreme right is better at expressing hatred then the extreme left. That might be my bias, and as a liberal I am willing to be proven wrong.

First time I went on birth control pills it was for non-contraceptive reasons. And like Clod, I was around 15 or 16 at the time.

It's actually quite common for the pill to be used for non contraceptive medical reasons. It helps a lot of, particularly young, women manage unusually painful and debilitating menstrual pains, for example.

Yeah, but women deserve those pains because they tempted Adam with the apple...

Sadly, the awesome Ricky Gervais standup bit about Adam and Eve and the Serpent has been removed from youtube. Whereas, the rest of the same entire bloody show is still there.

Break out your tinfoil hats, Birthcontrol and abortions will always be available to the well-off. Saddling a person with a child is a great way to keep that person from moving up the economic ladder.

There's a local branch of a very popular Christian cult in my town. One of their M.O.s is to encourage lots o' babies for the members of the cult, at the same time education is generally discouraged and avoided. The upshot is, since you've given away all your worldly possessions before joining, and you now have a family of 7 or more to support, and you lack rudimentary skills like reedin and ryten and math. You aren't likely to up and leave.

The cult is more overt, but the same thing happens in our country.

Please put the tinfoil in the recycling bin when you are done.

Yesterday, I read someone claim that birth control pills are a recreational drug.

Don't worry, the snake's all right.

There's always Viagra, paid for by insurance.

Ironic, eh?

I think the issue is that some people feel contraceptive medication is excluded on the basis of it being morally wrong and based on religious beliefs.

That's my impression of it anyway.

If Sandra Fluke is so terrible, you'd think they'd give her all the free contraceptives she wanted just to keep her from reproducing.

How about that Ann Romney jumping on the bandwagon and telling everyone she doesn't consider herself wealthy so she won't lose free contraceptives either.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzt! False.

Read the actual quote:
Quote:
Those that are suffering from M.S. or cancer or any disease I feel like I want to throw my arms open and say,
welcome to my family and welcome to the place where I've been and, so, you know, we can be poor in spirit and I don't look --
I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. It can be here today and gone tomorrow,
and how I measure riches is by the friends I have and the loved ones I have and the people I care about in my life
and that is where my values are and those are my riches so for me having done through a difficult period in my life
both with M.S. and with breast cancer it has done something to my heart and it's softened my heart
and made me realize there are many people suffering in this country and they are suffering from things that aren't financial --
and some people are suffering from things that are financial, as well -- but those that are suffering, for me,
I just have a larger capacity for love, and for understanding."
Still feel the same?

@classic,

Yes, I still feel the same, my statement was a joke just like my other statement above it.

That quote from AR seems like a stream of consciousness that she forgot was falling out of her mouth. I kept waiting for her to come to her point...but she never really did. I can sort of assume what it is, but I could be wrong.

It's true, I realized I had completely misunderstood your post and changed my reply accordingly. This is why some people think I'm smart, it's because they're not as quick to click on new posts as you are.
