First of all, how can you be opposed to that? Especially if you're anti-abortion.

If you're anti-abortion because you don't want those sluts to get away with having sex without being punished (i.e., babies = wrath of God), then it's a perfectly logical position.

ETA: See also, "opposition to HPV vaccine."

Did anyone see the footage of Dan Savage critiquing the biblical basis for homophobia at a student journalism conference? He had some great points, but a bunch of the students had pre-arranged to walk out as soon as he mentioned the Bible.

I am pretty sure we should all get shirts that say "Uppity Bitch" - men and women alike.

I have been productive thus far this morning, 3 things off my work to do this, plus some ridic scheduling nonsense NOT on my to-do list. Then personal bill paying.

I would really really like to get something accomplished before a 2pm meeting, but I am not sure I can complete more than finding a file. It's been something I've needed to do for over a month, but no one to hekp me along. It's finding and figuring out someone else's use of an action matrix from management meetings.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Isn't that the standard advice? (Never read the comments)

I think the trouble started with two things. One was the Reagan years where Reagan would run on and support policy with complete bullshit stories, and it worked brilliantly. I think there was a shift in supporting policy with narrative instead of fact.

The other related thing was the rise of right-wing media. Now we have right-wingers disagreeing not on just policy but also on reality. How do you achieve compromise when you have two sides not even working with the same reality?

How can a man show how much God loves him without having a quiverful of children to show off his God-given virility?

Plus there's the not-so-hidden thing of "Must breed more white Christian babies!"

The problem with comments on news articles is that you are only seeing the opinions of the kind of people who leave comments on news articles.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's also good evidence that a lot of far right comments are from paid commenters.
