Some people were all up in arms about the military allowing gays to join, fearing the troops would be at risk. Will they express the same outrage when it's heterosexuals doing the raping?

I think you got your research backwards, Buddy.

"a child's risk of being molested by his or her relative's heterosexual partner is over one hundred times greater than by someone who might be identifiable as being homosexual."

Then come up with a better proposal that the majority of people will except, particularly given the current level of support for Obamacare.

I hate it when men assume they understand womens' motivations. They are usually wrong.

Above comments lend support to Politico.com headline, "Voters see GOP as scary and out of touch."

Oooh, good one.

I listened to an interview with a young man at CPAC complaining that his generation was being drained by Baby Boomers. I'm sure he had no idea how much his parents had sacrificed for him but it seemed probable that he was going to campaign for cutting government support of anyone but himself.

Democrats have been trying for years to limit the money in politics. So now Republicans are going to fault Democrats for playing in the field Republicans created?

If you can't beat em, join em.

Why was this letter printed?

If preventing pregnancy is abortion then so is a man ... uh... spilling his seed on the ground (Genesis 38:9).

I never thought I'd see Republicans playing the victim card so often.

Simple Man, you just made GetOffThis's point.

Wow! How often are you confronted by AIDS-infected rapists?

At work yesterday, opinions on having women in combat positions split clearly between the sexes. Men argued that women wouldn't pull their load and women argued they weren't given the opportunity to pull their load. Civility disintegrated quickly when the men told the women not to get so emotional about it.

RightWingExtremist - Your source is Politifake.org? Doesn't make for a convincing argument.

Amen!

614 cases of rape reported in the Air Force last year (no telling how many weren't reported). Don't think it's al-Qaeda you should be worried about.

She thought the words right out of my mouth.

Whoa, good one!

Good one!

@jtsim: I disagree with your comments on a weapons ban. I think an assault weapons ban would decrease (not eliminate) gun deaths. I do think the war on drugs is counterproductive.

@Apox: Kinda like dealing with child sex abuse by having more priests in the school.

Amen, Sister!

You go, Girl! Excellent commentary. But get rid of the yahoo email address.
