I'm pretty sure when Gingrich looks in the mirror he sees either Teddy Roosevelt or Churchill. Someone needs to tell him that simply being a fat politician isn't enough. |

in my neck of the woods, the Catholics can do some drinking.. some heavy drinking. I always found this surprising... or maybe they are all just great friends who can let it all hang out and have some great fun. I think the hardest I've ever laughed was coming upon a group of them drinking margaritas from a cooler.. they were all toasted and laughing. Apparently Tom and Regina, a married couple and parents to 10 kids are in charge of the 'natural family planning' chapter of our parish.I've been thinking about it.. well I've been laughing about it for years. They are a darling couple but have failed their own course big time. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

It's FREE, don'tcha know. Another question is this: Since, under the mandate, insurers are obligated to provide contraception, will Catholic hospitals be required to perform tubal ligations? If so, at whose expense? The insurers' (snort giggle)? |

What are you guys complaining about? Are you against women getting artificial contraception without co-pay? The administration found a way to let those church-affiliated organizations not pay for artificial contraception. If you keep complaining, you will find yourself complaining about women working for such organizations getting the same insurance coverage for artificial contraceptions that other women get. |

Oh, and for the record, I have no problem with voluntary sterilization of either sex. I'm not sure I even have a problem with IUD's or morning after pills (note, I said "I'm not sure"). I am sure that I have a problem with the government telling those who object to it to pay for it. |

Are you saying that women who work for church-affiliated organizations have to get lesser artificial contraceptive coverage? |

1. The government does not tell those who oppose artificial contraceptive pay for it. 2. When you express similar outrage on the government requiring those who oppose immunization to pay for insurance that covers imminizations anyway, you'd have some sliver of credibility with that statement. |

No, I'm saying that this STILL forces chuch-affiliated organizations to pay for artificial contraception and abortifactants. |

Analogy fail. 1) As I asked, and you didn't answer, who's going to pay for this coverage. Don't tell me, as the President did, that it will be "free." There's no such thing. 2) When you can show me that contraception and abortion provide the same benefits to society that immunizations do, you might have a sliver of credibility left. |

Who is paying for it? Every body who pays the insurance company premium, every body who buys goods and services from the companies that the insurance company has investments in and draw dividends from. This include insurance companies that churches have been paying for a long time, those that cover not only artificial contraceptives but also a abortions. If the insurance companies invests in and draw dividends from companies that have revenues from government sources, then all tax payers, including all the cardinals and bishops and priests, pay for it. It has been thus for decades, if not longer. |
