The Catholic church receives 2.9 billion in government funding each year.
So just give them 2.9 billion minus the cost of birth control for their employees, and give it directly to their insurance company instead. Problem solved. |

...or put that toward the debt and give them nothing.
The Catholic Church is richer than most countries in the world. They could do with a little less glitz anyway.

My post was explicitly about the birth control rule, and had the cites you requested, and does not make use of any references to marriage.
You respond with some sentence fragments about marriage. That makes one of you.

I agree, but the Federal Government does not have the power to do so.

Therefore, in my post, I did not mention the marriage question. And you brought it in anyway. That is an argument you have yet to support. My post directly addresses that question, and you responded with something about marriage, which you yourself have repeatedly claimed was irrelevant.

OK. We've established that you think marriage and the birth control question are apples and oranges.
We've established that you didn't bring marriage up. Granting both of those, I made an argument about the birth control question that had no reference to marriage. Can you address it without referencing marriage?

How, specifically has this administration made it now safe to drill in the same location where we just had a major drilling disaster? Quote:
Obama wants to end the subsidies which are making fuel affordable for people so they can get to and from work.

Gas companies are still making record profits. Record as in they are the most profitable companies that have ever existed in the history of the world. i don't think they need their subsidies. Just yesterday on Up with Chris Hayes the independent federal regulator of the speculative market estimated that oil speculation, not cost, accounts for almost ALL of the price increase.
Sounds like we need more regulation of speculators to me!

The cost is relative to supply and demand. The speculation is a byproduct of that.
As the demand from China and a few other countries INCREASES and with it, their willingness to pay more, so will we. Oh, and Chris Hayes can suck it.

Go to hell, the 4-hour Chris Hayes/Melissa Harris-Perry block weekend mornings is the absolute best 4-hour block of programming on TV.

yeah i didnt mean really go to hell. I just REALLY respect and enjoy both of them. get a little defensive. I can't imagine what your problem with them is though? they go to great pains to try to keep the debate reasonable and rational and round-table.
