Right over your head as usual and right on cue, too. You make it too easy.

That doesn't even fit in this conversation LOL.

When did anything have to fit in the conversation?

[NeedKarma]

Good point. This is just a ranting board.

[paraclete]

Yes but if we didn't have it we would go out and shoot something

Perhaps for the housebound ones, my sports do me well in that area.

NARAL sent the Pope a thank you card on behalf of pro-choice women everywhere for some reason.

NARAL hilariously jumps the gun on Pope Francis "Thank You" card. - Naked DC



Apparently they latched on to one particular comment, assumed the Pope was no longer Catholic and didn't bother to read the rest of his comments, such as this:

In his comments, Francis denounced today’s “throw-away culture” that justifies disposing of lives, and said doctors in particular had been forced into situations where they are called to “not respect life.”

“Every child that isn’t born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord,” he said.

He urged the gynecologists to abide by their consciences and help bring lives into the world. “Things have a price and can be for sale, but people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things,” he said.

You'll have to scroll to the bottom of the article and see the rest for yourself...

I would have thought that after the bus-sized fatberg in London the EPA would have banned them.

FORCED?? I think he wasn't talking about America, though I like his style in general.

I am glad its just not OUR government you have hate for, but who would have thought toilet paper and diapers were subjects of speculation and price gouging.

Who said I hate our government? I hate the overly intrusive, inefficient, wasteful, nannying bureaucracy it's become. It has overstepped its bounds and needs to be pared back before we are ruined.

But no I'm not a fan of Venezuela's, are you? I mean heck, you can't even get toilet paper - the inevitable consequence of central planning and price controls. But I get it, you guys are in love with the idea so much you think somehow you won't make the same mistakes that all those other failed socialist states made.
