It is completely ridiculous to have women in combat. Captured women will be raped and the men left behind know that - making their capture trigger a different set of responses - detrimental to the military as a whole.
I am appalled that Obama mentioned "gay marriage" in this speech.
He is just pandering to people who have no right to consider their unions "marriages." It's not only asinine, it's just plain sick. I don't care what the "law says" in these crazy states.
Our society was founded on families - with one mother, one father and children.
Anyone can make an allegation. What about the concept of innocent until proven guilty? This lady obviously has an ax to grind and the Vindy gives her front page coverage. Ridiculous!
I understand that the Bishop is to make a public statement this week.
I hope the paper gives his response the same type of coverage as Ms. Jones got today.
You seem to love attacking a person's "credibility" when you don't agree with his opinions, yet your anti-credibility arguments lack credibility to people who believe a writer's opinions.
Although I don't agree with Joe's assertion that the Democrats are like Nazis because of their attitude towards the "rich," they ARE like Nazis because of their attitude towards abortion.
You seem yourself to be a "one trick pony," Mr. Anti-Credibility. Better get a new criticism.
There are difficult standards of what you can own, how much in assets you can have, and in how much income you make.
I know of a young man who is autistic, but works part-time as a custodian. He makes about $6000/year, has less than $1500 in assets and owns virtually no property.
He also receives social security, and is on medicaid and has a food stamp card (on which he gets the grand total of $16/month).
Although you freely admit to the wrong of "envy," you seem to revel in it. The woman you saw at the supermarket had to meet stringent requirements to obtain medicaid and a "food stamp card." You complain that she is utilizing government benefits to which she is entitled - when you rely on your own government benefits to get by.
You further complain that such a woman should not be able to afford a decent car or an up-to-date TV, even though you have no idea whether or not she possesses these items.
Yours is so typical of the "woe is me" mentality of an average Joe - who loves to be entitled to society's benefits (social security and medicare) - while wanting to deny society's benefits to others.
Believe me, you don't want to be entitled to medicaid and a food stamp card. Despite how they were dressed or what groceries they bought, they, my friend are the poorest of the poor.
Do you agree with The Pentagon lifting its ban on women serving in combat?

President Obama left little doubt about where he stands, but that’s not the last word
I am appalled that Obama mentioned "gay marriage" in this speech.
He is just pandering to people who have no right to consider their unions "marriages." It's not only asinine, it's just plain sick. I don't care what the "law says" in these crazy states.

Obama should be promoting that.

ACLU drops challenge to Kansas abortion law
LtMac,
As an avowed atheist, it's no surprise that you support the oftentimes anti-Christian ACLU.
Whatever good this organization does is negated by being against Almighty God.
When did you become an atheist and why?

Democrats demonize the rich
TB,
Generalizations can be just as credible as specific statements. You lose.

This is the most asinine story I've heard in a long time.

Hang up before you fill up
dmacher,
There are difficult standards of what you can own, how much in assets you can have, and in how much income you make.

Would anyone want to trade places with him?

Hang up before you fill up
Robert,
I am confused and distressed by your letter.
Although you freely admit to the wrong of "envy," you seem to revel in it. The woman you saw at the supermarket had to meet stringent requirements to obtain medicaid and a "food stamp card." You complain that she is utilizing government benefits to which she is entitled - when you rely on your own government benefits to get by.
You further complain that such a woman should not be able to afford a decent car or an up-to-date TV, even though you have no idea whether or not she possesses these items.

Attorney: Kansas law on sperm donors outdated
This is the kind of of thing that happens when mankind opposes God's law.
Artificial insemination is just plain wrong. Human beings are not robots.
Also, these homosexual "imitations" of legitimate families, with a mother and a father are another distortion of God's plan for mankind.
Life today is cheap - to be created at the whim of scientists, not unlike the reproduction of animals.
I know "anything goes" is becoming the "new normal," but that doesn't make it right.
