BREAKING-Martha Coakley: Devout Catholics ‘Probably Shouldn’t Work in the Emergency Room’
by Jim Hoft“You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.”
Democrat Martha Coakley was on with Ken Pittman from WBSM in Massachusetts today. Martha told Ken that if you object to abortion and are a devout Catholic then…
“You probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.”
From the interview:
Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.
Martha Coakley: No we have a seperation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.
Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.
Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.
The entire interview is posted here.

How 'bout them Yankees!!!
Who would work in Catholic Hospital Emergency Rooms, Martha? or Would Catholics Hospitals just not have Emergency Rooms, Martha?
Welcome to America.
To repeat Ken, wow, just wow. Would she say that about muslim healthcare workers who refuse or deny treatment to Jews?
Get rid of this POS.
The CONSTITUTION says that "we have that".
Want more DemoRats as usual? Vote for this (rhymes with twitch)
DTOM!
Watching Newt on Hannity – what a traitor. Trying to tell us now that he's with Brown when he endorsed Scuzzyfaahva. Newt can kiss my a**. He's done – blowhard.

Say, how many abortions are performed in EMERGENCY ROOMS, Martha?
Unbelievable. How is this race even close?
What you're really saying is: Only Athiest and Statist and Humanist will be allowed to work in ERs. All three worship Earth gods, Government as god, or Man as god. But not the one God.
This woman Coakley just might need to be elected, if merely for the Entertainment Factor………..
Let's see…..Soooooooo, what about, if you don't like smoke in your restaurant, maybe you shouldn't go to restaurants where people smoke, Noooooo, let's just ban smoking in restaurants! Same logic, let's ban abortions in Catholic Hospitals. We are soooo Bass Akwards
I didn't know they performed abortions in the ER. But then I didn't know all the terrorists had left Afghanistan.
Thanks, Cokehead, for clearing that up.
Massachusetts = 44% Catholic. This is not going to sit well. Game over?
She may just be more of a batshit loon than Pelousy.
I'll take none for 1000 Alex
Wonder what she's planning on doing with the Catholic Hospitals.
Pretty sure she just said she wants to close hospitals.
You left out Satanists, but yeah. Perhaps she wants hospitals like they had in the pre-Christian era.
None.
Abortions don't happen in the ER as they aren't medical emergencies. They are planned elective procedures. Only an idiot doesn't understand that.
As an ER nurse, a Catholic, and a conservative working in a Catholic hospital, one among so many that have a history of charitable service to their communities, I resent that Obamacare will force Catholic hospitals to close. There will be will be punative consequences for any religious ethics that deviate from the state and the feminist lobby. It's the state that will not respect religious convictions.
It's also a falsehood that the Catholic church at this time in history obstructs the use of birth control.
Government mandates that essentially exclude persons of particular religious beliefs from joining certain professions? It sounds like something the First Amendment was written to prevent.
Dear ACORN, Any chance of airlifting a few thousand Haitians into MASS to vote Democrat before next week’s election? REV AL
Unfortunately most of them are Kennedy (or cafeteria) Catholics; those who pick and choose the Jesus they want to worship and how they'll worship. And because they listen to upstart theologian ex-priests rather than the Holy See.
Because blacks, welfare hacks, food stampers, and "gubment" union employees vote Democrat at 120% of registration in MASS. No questions may be "axed". [Glad to clarify]
Right on!
Stick a fork in her, I believe this bird is done.
I often wondered how Taxachussets continues to elect their representatives. A state that is predominately Catholic, but rarely votes the Catholic moral line, voted for a pro-abortion senator for nearly 40 years and also votes for a philandering homosexual. I don't know what you would expect from a senatorial candidate that exposes that Catholics should not work in a ER. It fits in my book.
This woman is deranged.
Martha Coakley comments on the weather,Catholics, Jesus, and Ted Kennedy's driving record:
" I don't care if it rains or freezes, as long as I've got my plastic Jesus; ridin' on the dashboard of my car"…….
The gift that keeps on giving.
spot on
Solid B+
I am hoping that the wake up of america starts in MA, first of all we need everyone who have brain and common sense in MA to go out and vote this by default exclude all the rats because none of the rats have common sens and brain, beside rats are not american specie, I beleive rats got into the mayflower in the cargo and made it to the american shores, because i have not seen a democ rat who has any love for america but brain washed liberal.
We call those C and E-ers, since they only come on Christmas and Easter. Any other time the message of the One True God makes them… uncomfortable.
People who are morally opposed to providing modern health care should not look for work in the health care profession. Find a nice job in a drive thru line somewhere and leave the hard work to the adults.
I'm talking to pharmacists too. If reproductive health care offends your delicate sensibilities then find you another line of work.
True enough, but then not even ol' Teddy ever said anything this dumb.
Why don't you start by electing a Republican to the Senate and then focus on changing some of the most ridiculous
restrictive gun laws in the country. For the cradle of liberty you are allowing yourselves to be played!
No, Catholic hospitals will close. They will not be a party to Abortion.
AL, Yeah you ! If the answer is yes. Can we make them be the young ones ? Oh, you like that too ! I knew I could count on you.
So… you're basically saying the Constitution is outdated and all hospitals and health care workers should be forced to do anything the government dictates even if such dictates violate their core beliefs? Eugenics and euthanasia are on the rise. Should we be forced to participate?
Over my dead body!
What does that even mean ?
I must reiterate an earlier brilliant question: How is this race even close ?!?!?!?!?!?!
This dope Coakley seems to fit right in with the rest of New England's senators. If she is elected John Kerry will still have a mental midget to conspire with. The future of the country rests in the hands of Massachusetts voters, (that's a scary thought) hopefully they will do the right thing. Vote for Scott Brown!!
id like to hear the rest of the tape
god help us all! this woman could be the fulcrum of power? oh my…
Ah, ObowMao. She's a keeper!
mikatollah,
By " reproductive care ", you mean the tearing apart of a living pre-born baby. Just say it.
Yeah, my "delicate sensibilities".
And your brutal callousness. So "progressive" of you, caring about human rights like you do. Hypocrite.
I worked as the Emergency Registration Supervisor at Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta, GA for three years. Abortions are done in the Emergency Clinic, the procedure is called a DNC.
If Mass mania elects an idiot like this, they desrve her. Your point is well taken. I guess in some places there's no accounting for,,,,,,,,,,intelligence.
Hire only Christian Scientists!!!
You mean, Amerika…
I wanna know how she got to be the AG with a mind like hers? And they want to elevate her to the US version of Aristocracy. I wonder if the EPA should look into the Mass. water supply, there has to be something pretty nasty in it to produce that many registered idiots.
Let her keep giving us her quote of the day. Mass has a large Catholic population, so if she alienates a good % of them, then all the better. There is also a large % of patriotic folks there, so the terrorist comment should pi** them off too. Alienate a different group every day and by election day, she may have pi**ed off more than 50%. Keep it up dingbat.
Wasn't Teddy "Swimmer" Kennedy supposedly a devout Catholic?
Well that shows moral arrogance to presume for others. Oh that's right… It's SOCIALISM. Martha knows best and her name is ELITIST!
My personal opinion about abortion is that it needs to remain safe and legal. I don't know of any hospital that routinely does abortion, Catholic or otherwise. Most are performed in specialized clinics.
Don't conflate abortion with birth control. What we are really talking about is Catholics refusing to prescribe birth control to women. It is unacceptable.
If you don't like my posts or my opinion then don't read them. Your opinion means nothing to me.
Bingo! And yes we Catholics love bingo! lol. Athiests, Statist, Humanists and Humanists are bound to earth. God is infinite. With Christ all things are possible.
GREAT NEWS! BROWN SURGES AHEAD OF COAKLEY TONIGHT IN NEW SUFFOLK UNIV./Boston 7 NEWS POLL!!
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view/20...
Brown went ahead by 4 points.
Go Scott! GO MASSACHUSETTS VOTERS!!!
No. I'm basically saying exactly what I said. The fact that you don't like it does not make it unconstitutional. That is your opinion.
I could care less about "their core beliefs". If their religion prevents them from prescribing birth control then they need to find more suitable employment. No one has a contitutional right to work in health care.
"Eye be bussing in da ACORN blacks and SEIU thugs to vote early and often next week!" [REV Wright] NO questions may be axed about voter fraud as all questions will be considered racist.
Btw… is everyone ignoring the other 'foot in mouth' part of the quote? It's a two-fer.. ys, there's the attack on Catholics, but then ther'es the attack on EVERYONE who exercises their religious preferences..
Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that.
So the law says we're allowed religious freedom? I didn't know that fell under legal guidelines, i thought that came under Constitutional rights (and common sense?)
"Only an idiot dosen't understand that". You hit the nail on the head
…. Hanzo
A DNC is not a method of normal abortion. A DNC is usually done due to many factors including excessive bleeding which can indicate miscarriage. If a DNC is done in an emergency room it's done for the fear of health of the woman having the DNC. It is not a method that a woman can come in and just terminate her pregnancy on a whim.
"D&Cs are commonly performed to resolve abnormal uterine bleeding (too much, too often or too heavy a menstrual flow);[2] to remove the excess uterine lining in women who have conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (which cause a prolonged buildup of tissue with no natural period to remove it);[citation needed] to remove tissue in the uterus that may be causing abnormal vaginal bleeding,[1] including postpartum retained placenta;[citation needed] to remove retained tissue (also known as retained POC or retained products of conception) in the case of a missed or incomplete miscarriage;[3] and as a method of abortion that is now uncommon.[1]"
When the government take control of the nation's healthcare they will be taking control of all the hospitals. Then under the "Separation of Church and State" fallacy religious practices and considerations will be forbidden in medical decisions.
If I have to be subjected to anymore of her inane drivel I'd rather stick a fork in my eye!lol
Just as your opinions(and they are just that, no truth involved) don't mean crap to anyone else either.
I call them Poinsettias and Lillies Christians.
Unfortunately the majority of catholics voted for worse than her. They overwhemingly voted for a staunch abortion advocate. They voted for obama. They then gave their vote a seal of approval by inviting president obama to speak at ND. Hard to understand why they support a pro abortion person.
Neither does anyone have a constitutional right ot birth control!!!!
Ever heard of cradle to the grave? Mass wants to go from the cradle of liberty to the grave of liberty. Just sayin'….
Martha will be elected. She is a village idiot and that is what is in vogue as representatives these days. Just look at Minnesota's recent Senator Selection.
Some right powerful kool-aid, ha ha…
A CINO(Catholic In Name Only)….
If the Vote is close Marha will win by an ACORN.
I'm sorry, but actually a person does have a right to work in any field they choose, what doesn't exist is the ability for the government to forbid someone to work in a field of their choice. I would think that there are not only a reasonable number of hospitals where someone could seek medical care that caters to their needs (aka, birth control, abortion, etc..) but that even in a Catholic hospital there would be doctors and nurses that do not have that moral proclivity. Constitutional freedoms are there to protect the individual not force one individual to bend to the will of the government. I would add that I'm not Catholic and have no personal problem with birth control, but in using your own words…"the fact that you don't like it" doesn't mean you have a right to refuse someone the ability to live according to their conscience.
Maybe the muslims who dont want to drive taxis with alcohol in them shouldnt be driving taxis. OOOOOPs that wold be religous discrimmination.
DNC? Democratic National Convention? Too bad they aren't aborted.
Catholics have been working in every area of every layer of society you dumb broad! Hey – and there's this thing called the Catholic Health System, with Catholic hospitals and nuns and stuff – All dedicated professionals. So, what made up calamity will you come up with now? What alarmist, feminist nonsense will we have to endure? What other areas are Catholics barred from? How about Catholic Doctors? Should they step down in the name of Church – State estrangement? Eh, you bigot? Hey, wasn't Ted Kennedy a catholic?
I'm afraid of correct you may be. All the crowing by conservatives isn't all that helpful sometimes either.
HAHAHAHA a very apt description for them both, fkit, they tie
Could this woman shoot herself in the foot anymore than she has?
Seriously, completely legitimate question.
Heh, I thought the same but it's kind of scary how bald faced it is. The idea is unthinkable, I mean she's actually stating that she'd favor a bill that compelled a staff member of a Hospital, religious or not, to perform an abortion procedure over their objections. I know a lot of people who would rather be able to look at themselves without carrying that load. Imagine all the good people they'd drive out of the business with this insane kookery they've baked up.
bizzare

cloward-piven
If Catholics can not work in the emergency room of a hospital where can they work in the hospital?
Can they be doctors? Nurses? Work with any children of child bearing age? Work with euthanasia patients?
Only non-Catholics, maybe Jews? most Christians are pro-life, so NO Christians in the Emergency Room?
How did separation of Church and State make it into the Emergency Room for God's Sake?
It was that our Governmetnr would nOT ESTABLISH A RELIGION but our government is doing JUST THAT THROUGH SECULARISM AND EARTH WORSHIP!
Newt is of the mindset — if the Republicans can get anyone with an (R) next to their name, despite them being liberal slobs, then that is supposed to help the GOP… I used to have a lot of respect for that man, but he's become a desperate appeaser and has completely lost his way from what the Republican party was under Ronald Reagan… I changed my party affiliation from Republican to Conservative and until the Republicans get more people like Scott Brown back into their party, they will not have Conservatives are automatic Republican party voters.
Perfect, young haitian refugees! ACORN has partners that they work with to place young immigrant ladies with good paying work and provide quality housing in it's many "Girls Schools" it has established in major metros everywhere across the USA. ACORN will apply for stimulus money in order to import these young immigrant women and work with the partners it helped to establish in business in order to continue to SAVE OR CREATE JOBS!
LAST TIME I CHECKED, MARTHA, ABORTIONS ARE USUALLY PERFORMED SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN THE EMERGENCY ROOM…
OR DO YOU INSINUATE THAT THE CHARACTER OF PEOPLE YOU FIND IN AN EMERGENCY ROOM WOULD LEAD PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN ABORTION?
WHAT A DUMB WHORE.
Coakly is living in her own world, first this is NO seperation of church and state – that is an ACLU made up myth based on some speeches by Thomas Jefferson, speeches are all well and good, but only the Constitution is what is the law of this land and in the Constitution is only states that the government will not favor any one religion over another, the government will not create its own religion… this was put in by our founders…. many of which came from England who still clearly recall Henry the 8th's Reformation period in England and recall how he formed the Church of England and suppressed the Catholic church. So our founders put those words into our Constitution to make sure that the same thing would never happen here in America… however now the liberals are trying to create the Chruch of no Religion and are trying to strip religion out of country as a whole, which is impossible since our very laws are based directly from the 10 commandments, and our founders looked to have religion as a cornerstone for their faith and direction in the creation of this nation, so church is very much an integral part of the United States and its government.
What a joke of a statement.
I'd like to see her deleted. CTRL+ALT+DEL just isn't working today, though.
Cowboy… please remove that "Surrender" icon, its kind of insulting… Americans never surrender, we may get knocked down on our ass, but then we wipe the blood from our nose, get back up and stand tall…. America never surrenders.
A DNC is a fairly common procedure performed for the health of the woman. It is not done in a hospital to terminate pregnacies.
Yea, Stuart Smalley goes to DC. I still can't believe that vomit stain is a Senator, it's a disgrace. I have a photo of him in a diaper drinking from a bottle somewhere……herrm maybe a good avatar.
Let's hope the keep the priests away from the Catholic pediatric wards.
If we seriously as conservatives vote for Scott Brown, then we honestly haven't learned a thing in the past 10 years and deserve liberal rule. Someone who is pro stimulus, spending, war, and big government should never receive a conservative vote… though all of this is happening again. Lesser of two evils only leaves evil. Brown winning the election may just change me from an political optimist to fatalist. The cycle will never be broken if conservatives don't practice what they preach
Humor us and let us have an election anyway. This is still America.
"You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room."
Hey Martha, you can be a moron but you probably shouldn't work in our Senate! Please go away!
Yeah, they elevated her with an election. That is how it is done in a democracy.
Sorry if that offends you.
Brown is not a vote for freedom, but a vote of cyclical partisan politics. Anyone who votes for cap and trade laws (as Brown did) needs to be weeded out of politics, not blindly accepted as change. Wake up conservatives or forever hold your peace.
Sounds like a preview of Obama Care! People of Massachusetts…please help deliver us all from this insanity!
How ironic this race is happening in Massachusetts where the first revolution began. It should be a very interesting election. They have to look out for intimidation tactics and voter fraud. This is a battle the Democrats/Marxists do not want to lose and will do anything to try to steal the election. Good luck Scott Brown.
UNFIT FOR THE SENATE.
If you can't work in the emergency room, can you at least join a garden club, Martha?
Wow. That's political suicide right there.
Hold on. "They deserve her"? If she is elected in Massachusetts she is the rest of America's second hand smoke. This is a state election with national impact.
We don't deserve kerry either. Is there any way we can sell Mass to the chinese in a package deal with California?
I'm sitting here trying to digest this whole Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley thing and its not going down too well for me. True conservatives and libertarians have been gaining major traction over the traditional GOP sentiment for the past year, but I see the blind support for Scott Brown as an enormous step backwards.
Scott Brown is doing all of the things that 'reborn conservatives' have chastised Obama for. Rhetoric over substance. He first claimed that he could stop Obama's healthcare (which he can't). Now he's saying that Obama needs to "stay away" from this race, effectively telling the people that if they don't like Obama, that they should vote for him. All of this is an attempt to gain votes for Brown based on rhetoric and not substance. If you look at his record, Brown is exactly the same type of "conservative" who we're all pissed at for letting us down over the past decade. Pro spending, stimulus, cap and trade, war, and big government.
Sadly, its working. I can't go to DrudgeReport.com or BigGovernment.com without seeing Pro-Brown articles along with hundreds of comments from readers supporting him. People are accepting him as the anti-Obama hero, which may be a power sentiment these days but will put us exactly in the same place we are now, with politicians on both sides that don't represent the people.
Brown is not the only big government GOP politician to campaign like this. The Governor of Texas also comes to mind as someone whose track record of being a neo con is being skirted to the side under the thin vale of Tea Party- sympathetic comments.
Sadly there may not be much more we can do aside from informing friends in the Mass area of Brown's history, but it is our duty to try. On a personal level, I'd rather have Coakley win to complete the liberals failures instead of people like Brown stepping in to misrepresent true conservatives.
Beware of politicians wearing the sheep skin of Tea Party & libertarian beliefs, they will be coming out of the woodwork over the next three years.
I think he means it as half-staff, but there's no room for a staff in icon space.

'I've been in telecom and IT since 1977. We didn't call it that, then.
Given that Washington can call a thistle, a rose. Whether they have done so in this case, I do not know. However, the "real" definition of "Net Neutrality", the technical definition if you will, is quite benign. It requires that the owner of the "wire" allow all traffic regardless of source.
All traffic regardless of source. This is the same requirement the phone companies have. Does anyone remember when you used to have to buy a separate phone line to use a modem or Fax machine? This changed after AT&T was broken up.
I want my ISP to carry all traffic regardless of source. Otherwise my ISP will censor.'
Denver not to call you out or anything but this is a quote of yours from a post on the last Net Nuetrality Piece, so like you work multiple jobs?
What ambition…
I've found that 9 out of 10 liberals who screech about the "Separation of Church and State" have no idea what it means. It does not mean that the state must purge itself of all religious symbolism, not does it mean that anyone who works for the state or takes federal funds must pretend to be an athiest. It simply means that Congress cannot establish a national church. Coakley's ignorant remark about the state forcing Catholics to disregard their religious beliefs is more of a violation of the First Amendment than anything else.
So, let me let this hag's words settle a sec……
Nope, no hope n' change…..still a hag and just for the record…..I AM A CATHOLIC E R NURSE YA BLUIN HAG!
A vote for Coakley is a vote for Obama, Reid, Pelosi. Choosing her does not help get rid of them along with ACORN and the rest of the thugs.
One can hope.
Everyone here who says this woman is done for has it wrong. (No offense). It's 2010. Up is down, in is out, and the more crap that comes out about this woman, the more the libs fall in love with her. They hear these things and get even more excited. So I think this just brought her up a couple points in the polls. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm just very jaded about these things lately…
I lost good friends over that, a married pair of teachers we used to socialize with. They trotted that out at me in some twisted up fashion and my incredulity and disgust at their ignorance on the topic destroyed our friendship in five seconds flat. it's a shame, but I refused to apologize, you don't sit on my couch and run that line by me and get to sit there patting yourself on the back with impunity. These were teachers ffs, I can't help but expect better. All about bitching about No Child Left Behind and not wanting to talk about all the Federal money they take, on and on with it all. I couldn't take it any more.
I still simply cannot believe she even said something like that. It's staggering. Said it before, I'll say it over and over again I"m sure, you just couldn't sit down and write this stuff, unbelievable.
I checked that Boston Herald article about Brown peeling off a four point edge, it seemed like a solid poll. Get this, they only used data from subjects who could name the date of the election! I thought that was encouraging along with the fact that he had 99% name recognition amongst the subjects as well, is this really happening? Could it?
Yea but, this is sport now for people. Most posters probably don't care much about how much of a fraud Brown COULD become. In fact I'd submit that they probably expect it. We're talking about Mass. here. The only thing people are drooling for is to see Big Teds seat slide over to an R and to get someone to put the brakes on health care. Sad maybe, cynical sure, but you know it's true. It's all partisan all day here.
Beta, look at it this way, Brown is a "win in the short run".. which is what conservatives want. I do agree that I have no faith in Brown beyond his promising to block ObamaCare… other than that, I see him as a Snowe/Collins/McCain "compassionate conservative".
But considering it's Massachusetts, it's the best that Republicans are going to get.
This is one reason I had to laugh about the "attack column" about Brown not getting SarahPAC support.. because he's not (by terms of his voting record) a pure conservative candidate.
I'm disappointed that so many people who vowed to support ONLY 'tea party" candidates are jumping on hte Brown bandwagon, but I understand why they are.. because the alternative is so much worse. (and Joe Kennedy appears to sound TOO much like Ron Paul for Republican/Conservatives to like).
You're soooo funny. Did I say funny? Oh, sorry, I meant intolerant, close-minded and petulant, for starters.
We know what the "Adequate health care" meme means to you(Abortion on demand, etc., etc.) What do you know about God, or muslims, or anything for that matter? Just sayin….
We're not really sure if ol' Teddy said anything that dumb, most of the time one couldn't understand WTH he was saying….
Thanks for the sentient comment, finally(jk)
…Hanzo
Who said anything about taking an election away, ACORN? Oh, right that's stealing an election away….
….. yeah, all 0.4% of them who abused children. You're more likely to get abused by a public school teacher than you are a priest.
Probably elevated her through affirmative action and voter fraud

Sooooooo…. throw the baby out with the bath water? You'd rather have Croakley??? Seriously??…..
Orthodox Jews are against abortion too; as are some Protestants.
And since when does anyone go to the ER for an abortion?
Not a one, that I know of.
Martha is nuts; not to mention ignorant !
One small quibble…………………………….
"SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE" doesn't appear anywhere in the Constitution.What's in our Constitution, is the freedom for all to practice any religion or none at all, which falls in the First Amendment's freedom of speech.
Those who grab onto that phrase, are perverting what Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to Baptist, in Danbury Ct. !
In early colonial days, many colonies had what we'd call a "state religion". Our Founders wanted to make sure that the new nation, would forswear having any national religion.
I think Newt has always been a blowhard.
they are ass backwards.
Her goose is cooked..lol
She's after the gardening ladies club…priceless…
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view.bg...
A few more in the comment section. She apparently let Gates off – a friend of Obama , didn't file her own taxes or didn't on 200,000 bucks because she forgot. Some of these little old women are fearful they'll be handcuffed – others are mad and voting for Brown…Why on earth would she sent these letters out now – they haven't filed on their few thousand donated dollars in 3-4 yrs yet she sends them now – the woman is a blithering idiot.
Karl Marx's object in life according to himself was to dethrone God and destroy capitalism. Democrats can deny being marxist all they want but they are willing or unwilling dupes to Marx none the less.
Genesis 1:27
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Marxism is nothing but opposite Bible mentality. God is a monkey or thereof see evolution. Abort the children they're killing the planet and let the planet subdue man while worshipping Gaia. These people are kooks of the highest order and see God every time they look in their mirror so is it any wonder they suffer narcissistic personality disorder much like their dear leader?
You're a beta male all right! We alphas will tell you that you are a lightweight. Do you live in MA? If you did you wouldn't be saying that "politicians on both sides don't represent the people", because here, politicians on ONE side have dominated us for years. "Neo-con" applied to a Texas governor on domestic issues? You don't know what the term means. Report back when you get your GED with a major in Gov101.
LOL………………Not "DNC"…………….a D & C, Dilation and Curettage; which is the enlarging of and the scraping out of the womb, but not ever used as an abortion procedure.
its all about the `yellow dog democrat' theres no rhyme or reason.
The use of "Devout" is rankling as there's no such thing. You're either a Catholic who obeys the teachings (not the Pope's- he also adheres to Church teaching) of the Church, which includes pro-life, or you're not. Kennedy, Pelosi, etc don't follow the teachings therefore have excommunicated themselves. For some reason they like to call themselves Catholics but it's in name only – CINO's.Sorry but I want them out but they insist on staying…some of these same people have a blog and are paid by Podesta/Soros. They're used when the catholic name is needed to bolster a cause …it's all a scam. No conservative will assist in killing babies no matter their belief system – including atheists.
That's the problem with people who come here to disrupt, such as Beta………………….they spout "TALKING POINTS" and/or something they read somewhere, without understanding the meaning.
BRAVA on your post; well said !
You are right on target with that. 2 thumbs up!!
In Europe, Germany at least, they send taxes directly to the church from your pay. You need to designate whether you are Catholic or Protestant so they know who to send it to. The locals told me that in 2000.
Just look at how the founding fathers were not afraid to display their faith. In DC the evidence is everywhere. I remember reading that sometimes they had Bible studies in Congress. Natural law, a belief in a Creator is in the Declaration of Independence, "We are endowed by our Creator".
I wasn't aware that the question of life hinged on offense taken by Catholics. Maybe I should take a Gender/Ethic Studies course at one of the fine Islamist oriented re-educa…….err, institutions of higher learning, for review. Dopey me! I just concentrated on Architecture. Boy, do I feel deprived.
ACORN, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Dallas Cowboys……………..
I am sure they will all vote and vote often.
only a dem lunatic could vote for that trash
So like it was really bad to have all of those nuns saving lives during all of the wars, right?
How does she make the leap from abortion to religion? I have worked in a hospital and you really don't see many abortions in the ER. There is also a little thing called the Hippocratic oath.
Nahhh…….
Let's hope that marxist indoctrinated retards incur repressed memories of a time when events were reported objectively without screaming headlines of overblown pap set to dovetail with destructive, leftist drivel.
I have never heard of one in a hospital and I worked in one for 5 years. I saw a lot of hospital staff taking heroic measures to try to save preemies. I saw a lot of parents trying very hard to keep those preemies alive until they were old enough to survive outside the womb. I helped supply the copious meds.
It takes real devotion to work in an ER. I have seen that, too. My daughter is doing 12 hour shift as a PA in an ER. Those people need our praise.
What planet is she from?
And you're correct as well.
It's a shame that so many don't know much of any history at all. I know that the school curriculum have been dumbed way down, but as long as one can read, one has the ability to educate ones self. And add on to that, the fact that many parents have abnegated their responsibilities as well.
England still has a "state religion"; however, nobody really appears to pay much attention to that, at all. It actually would be better if they did, since England is now allowing Sharia Law to be practiced in some areas and THAT is an abomination beyond words !
Damned straight the FFs were not afraid to talk about and/or display their beliefs and thank GOD for that !
Call it what it is……………."PROGRESSIVE": has always been the code word used by SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS to "hide"/cover up what they really are. And this was well know from the time the started using that term !
Even he was smart enough to try to get back in good with the church before he died.
Don't forget Al Capone, Mickey Mantle, Harry Truman, FDR, Abe Lincoln and Karl Marx. They all voted in '06.
That's not surrender. Flying the flag upside down is the signal for distress. Very apt, for our current situation, I think.
Progressives have been outed.
Their agenda has been outed.
Alinsky's radicals have had the curtain pulled back to expose the losers pulling levers and cranks effecting change. Saying, don't look at the people behind the curtain, we are the great and powerful OZ.
I hope we can stop them.
Vote early, vote often!
Isn't America great. You don't even have to be alive or real to vote.
So Ms Coakley. Better hope you don't end up in a Catholic hospital. They might decide not to care for you since you plainly think they shoulodn't be working in the ER….
Please. You want an abortion, birth control? Plan ahead. That's the grown up way to handle your sexual decsions.
How incredibly juvenile to castigate a relion for your poor planning. You have the right to these things. You don't have the right to demand them from anyone who disagrees with a form of treatment. Find another doctor.
hey novel idea, maybe your state can find another Senator, not you.
The thing is……………………I and many people ( I'd say most, but that may be an overreach ) knew what "PROGRESSIVE" meant when Obama was still in diapers and I was still still in school.
All has been revealed, yet again, now, but the question is :HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION? I believe that the answer to that is more than any of us suspect and it's all Obama's and the Dems' own fault that people are waking up and seething.
Can we stop them and this nightmare? I don't know, but pray that we can.
ummm, shouldn't that be 'Bosox'? or are you saying that in heavily Catholic Massachusetts, it would be just as smart as rooting for the Damn Yankees?
after some 'quality time' with my nieces and nephews, i've been tempted to go to the ER for a vasectomy…
No, she doesn't want to close them. They are just planning for the new obamacare fiasco to take the over and run them like GM
Well that'd be a problem for you, since elective surgery, such as the one you mulled over having, isn't done in the ER. ;^)
I was wondering how this election could be close, and this isn't a knock on Scott Brown he is a great candidate but he is running in Taxachusetts, but she is the dumbest person I have ever seen running on a major party ticket for a Senate seat. She has no filter between her brain and her mouth. Even if you think that, and I know a lot of fringe liberals do, you don't say it on the campaign trail.
We can only pray that's true.
Ken..Catholics are infamous for adhereing to the so called 10 Commandments!
croakley" I know,and that can be a problem.
Ken why?
croak;ey, I'm thinking about the one about stealing..maybe Catholics souldn't join unions!
Ken Or run for elected office?
croakley Exactly! Ken,
You know Kennedy was a drunken philandering murderer. I have no doubt that the people of Massachusetts will elect this fool as they are damn stupid. Hell they keep electing Kerry and he is a gold digging traitor.
She's mentally unstable.
Sound familiar?
hint: isolep, dier, amabo, knarf, …cte
Funny….Everyone stop and think how many different religious groups OWN hospitals in this country….Baptist, Catholic, Jewish….It's true. There should be separation of church and state…and the state needs to keep his greedy hands off those hospitals. Not the other way around. If religious groups stopped donating, organizing and running charities I wonder how many millions of people would suffer because of it? Sometimes the idiots in Washington get so out of touch they forget where the honest money is. It certainly is NOT in Washington.
It is Massachussetts. I agree but the fact that it is even close is amazing! If Brown pulls this out can you imagine all the liberals saying "I'don't know anybody who voted for him" as they did regarding Nixon's landslide victory over McGovern in '72?
Can the Chinese make catsup cheaper? That could work.
As one who is eternally grateful to be a FORMER MA resident, I find Martha Chokely to be the one candidate that fits the criteria to become a US Senator from MA – she's friggin' braindead like the other one. Is it me, or does she really look and act like a younger version of Nasty Pelosi?
Just based on that idiotic statement alone, "…Catholics probably shouldn't work in emergency rooms….", Coakley should probably not be allowed to work in government rooms– US Senate "room", for example…….
They will just have to hire Protestants or Jews, whatever it takes to provide adequate health care.
God forbid we offend any Catholics.
Not qualified to serve.
keep the Flag as is cowboy – we get it.soon Washington will get it. Mass. Senator could kill the healthcare bill? – how damn cool is that!
right on the money, it does`nt do any good to have a dog in the fight if the fight is over.
In our society it's ok to discriminate and make fun of some groups,
Christians of all denominations are one of the groups….The left
has called people homophobes, xenophobes, and on and on….
Maybe we should tag Miss "Croak"-ley as a Catholicphobe?
I'll believe Scott Brown's election when I see it. The Democrats in Massachusetts are more corrupt than in any other state save Illinois.
Sooooooo right! We wouldnt want Catholics going around blowing up planes and killing innocent civilians for the sake of ALLAH!
/sarc
I apologize if it offends you. It has nothing to do with surrender though. You evidently weren't in the military; and ought do some research.
CINO's? Catholics In Name Only?
.
Yes… I think she really did said that Catholic Hospitals should close… ..because of separation of church and state?
I guess since they're "separated" that means the state gets to tell the Church based hospitals how to run it's business or to shut down…. HUH??
If Brown wins, it is a referendum.
A referendum against Obama.
The tide is turning. The sleeping giant awakens. This will send a shudder through the halls of power, of politics, and the liberal, fascist, militant MSM!
Apparently in politics you can say anything then claim you misspoke, were kidding, were misquoted or just simply the best alternative to the other party and get elected. What happened to people looking out for the national interest, their posterity or their financial stability? Today it's all about how much money can my elected official help me get from the federal taxagator. Greed is the number one driver and being a bold liar with connections seals the deal.
Remember the old pennies on the eyes of the dead? Were they reincarnated crooked because of it? LOL
I get what your saying cowboy…but we've already got plenty of "entertainment" in Washington….It's Vaudville, the circus, and the Stooges all rolled into one giant laugh fest up there…Unfortunately the cost of the "tickets" to watcch the show is getting too expensive to include another headliner like Coakley
martha is biting off her nose to spite her face. if devout catholics don't work in emergency rooms, who's taxes will cover the entitlements for her supporters?
Ah, socialized medicine at its best: people without compassion.
Well, it is Massachusetts. I wouldn't be surprised if she wins.
I work in a secular ER and have yet to see an elected abortion performed there. Hmm, this woman's vote may cement Obamacare yet she has no clue where her most treasured right (access to abortions) is even performed. How can the government hope to get involved in healthcare if even its biggest supporters have no clue whatsoever how it works? Idiot.
"Sometimes the idiots in Washington get so out of touch they forget where the honest money is."
Bev, that's because they can't clamp their grubby little socialist fingers around it.
And don't forget the religion of environmentalism. They worship Al Gore as their god.
People ought to be able to recuse themselves from performing certain procedures on religious grounds. Coakly is clearly an Anti Catholic, Anti Pro-Life Bigot.
I think she's referring to availability of the "Plan B" or the "Morning After" pill to rape victims who would be in the E.R. for treatment of their injuries and collection of physical evidence via a "rape kit".
That said, I think this Coakley's statements are woefully ignorant of the Constitution. I'm truly frightened for the future of this country when we may have people in power who would deny a person the right to work in their field of choice based on their religious beliefs. Scary.
She's talking about "emergency contraception". Which we Catholics understand to be a very early abortion. It prevents the newly conceived child from implanting. No Catholic with a conscience will participate in this procedure or give this medicine to a woman who requests it. We are enjoined by our belief that every human is imbued with inaleinable dignity and worth.
Yes, and i can assure you that there are many in this country who despise Catholic social doctrine and want to change the Church. Starting, of course with Obama.
This women is stunningly ignorant.
I don't believe in abortion either…But isn't Obama still funding Planned Parenthood?
Hmm, once the "Public Option" turns all hospitals and clinics into a government entity. Based on the separation of Church and State, the government will ban all religious activity in Hospitals.
I think Martha just revealed part of the end game prematurely.
How bout them Yankees? I spit my coffee all over the place, so thanks for that. LOL!
There will STILL be a Kennedy on the ballot in Mass this Nov. There would be some justice if Coakley loses because people continue to reflexively vote "Kennedy" without knowing why.
He is not one of the murdering, philandering, election stealing Kennedy's. Well… not that I know of. Probably not all three.
What's happening now must be quite scary for the non-believers. God is going to have His "Surgical" Operation during Daniel's 70th Week, the 7 year Tribulation period. The Haitian earthquake will reduced to a non-event compared to the coming catastrophes. Justice for Coakley is that she has to go thru that.
Well she has an EZ deal…They sell them to Ms Jennings, Obama's Top Advisor, who turns them into low income housing under the HUD Program. Then, rent space in the basement to Planned Parenthood and an Abortion Surgical unit. See how EZ this is? The tenants on the 4th floor just take the elevator down to the basement and get an abortion. On the other side of the huge basement is a Priest and Confessionals…ok, just go in there and confess for an hour to a man and boom, done, walk away….
You must be a dude…
Home of the original TEA PARTY is once again in a position to make a HUGE AMERICAN direction game changer.
If people like you cared as much for actual children as you do for fetuses we could eradicate child hunger in this country.
Yes, this is how the right-wing hacks work. Character assassination. Let's not debate the issues, let's just take a sound bite out of context and spin it in the attempt to damage her character. Of course, in the minds of the Fox/Rush/Beck dittoheads that's all it takes to dismiss someone. Fortunately most people do not live in that echo chamber.
Possibly… but I think it is more probable that she has worked hard and been sucessful in her professional life. Just like Mr. Brown.
Wasn't Ted Kennedy supposedly a devout Catholic? Can she really sit in the Kennedy seat and say that?
Most American Catholics pick and choose the Catholic rules they want to live by. Many that I know, including myself are tribal Catholics… Catholics by accident of birth.
This one comment might be enough to derail her in Massachusett(e)s, but let's count the other failures just this week.
– Claiming that terrorists are no longer in Afghanistan
- Meeting with Big Pharma lobbyists for an emergency fundraiser IN WASHINGTON!
- Ignoring inconvenient questions after the fundraiser
- Watching one of her entourage shove a reporter to the ground
- Saying later that she didn't see it when an AP photo showed her looking right at the incident
- And now suggesting that Catholics, and by extension any pro-life person should not work in already understaffed ER's.
PRO-LIFERS NEED NOT APPLY
The fact that she has 46% is embarrassing.
You make not like Beta's position, but it appears well thought out and heartfelt. Yet you think that his presence on this list is "disruptive". That says more about you than it does about him.
Talking points? I have never seen an original idea from a right wing blogger on this list, including from you. So this is a serious case of the post calling the kettle… or maybe projection.
Some of thiese are half truths… the rest are lies.
- She said that Al Qaeda was not in Afghanistan (they are in Pakistan)
- There were a lot of wealthy people at that fundraiser. So what?
- Not questions seeking answeres… harassment that should be ignored
- She did not see the incident occur and was only told about it later
- No it didn't
- People who will not perform life saving procedure for women or prescribe birth control should not be working with women. They should specialize or find an other like of work.
Anyone who would deny a woman who was bleeding a DNC is not going to last very long in the business.
Holy crapola. Is she really THAT stupid? If this woman wins, the Mass. voters are numbskulls. (But I have faith in you Mass.! DO THE RIGHT THING!)
Well, be careful what you say. Contraception is actually contrary to church teaching, as stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2370.htm
JPA- Considering the woman went out of her way to let a rapist walk, after he raped his 2 yr old niece with a hot curling iron, I guess you're right. It's just character assassination. I mean hey he was a cop. Definitely let him walk. Oh, because his daddy was a Union boss who had money in her campaign. Yup. right after she got elected to the state level, the local DA actually took the slam-dunk case to court and convicted the cop. Two life sentences. Yup, just rightwing hacks. Guess you have no problem with her morals. I mean 2 yr olds don't remeber much once they grow up. All forgotten, like it never happened. Coakley POS
What the heck is "emergency contraception"?
Idiot, Everything you decry is perped on us by the fool in the White House, denigrating all that is and should be America, summed up in a single word: FREEDOM. Look it up. Learn to read, to conceptualize, to reason. That you could even think to choose the utterly deranged piece of detritus that is the corrupt and venal Martha Coakley, with absolutely nothing to recommend her is to make you the enemy because you and your attitudes will foist her on the American public who already is seriously damaged by the thought processes of your ilk. What, you propose that she is opposed to pro stimulus, war, spending, etc? You deep into child abuse unfettered? You certainly are not a conservative, you poseur, you don't have a clue. You just outed yourself. Please, PLEASE leave the party. Pretender. Pure pretender.

This ought to really help the already scarce healthcare, to get the jobs done. What 's wrong with catholics working ER's? This woman ought to fit in really well with this congress. Kerry's underling who will do everything that dolt tells her to do. BTW, I haven't seen any abortions done in ER's. They go to the OR. This sounds like the accusation O made when he accused pediatricians of taking out tonsils for more money. I haven't seen pediatricians remove tonsils either. Sounds to me that she is religiously BIGOTED.
Catholics who call themselves "pro-choice" are not Catholic under the 2000 y/o teaching of the Church. CINO's who disagree need to leave. I'm sure they know this as we;ve told them many times on forums – they basically retain the name Catholic for political reasons only. If this H/C bill goes through I see many religious institutions leave the medical arena which means they'll be confiscated by our secular government. I believe this is the Soros/Obama plan for us. They've already taken over other institutions – why not the whole H/C system. "We are all Socialists now"!
Certainly hope so. I have wondered why Massachusetts isn't ashamed of their congressional delegation. One should have been charged with manslaughter, was a philandering drunk, said he was catholic, but voted to keep abortion legal at every opportunity. Another votes the same, and likes marrying up (financially that is), says he's catholic too. Then the lisping homo, who had a house of ill-repute being run out of his house, but still gets elected. I just shake my head.
She throws out "separation of church and state" like this involves any signs of religion except in a place of worship. She is really stupid on many levels. The liberal mantra lives on in her. I can see why she hasn't campaigned very much as she is intellectually light. She uses cliche's inappropriately and has original thoughts rarely and when she does it shows what a stupid person she is.
I guess it is OK to condemn Catholics now. Great political move- for Brown!
Love your posts. Where did you get that sense of humor?
Catholic's should be Pissed that this woman (Is she Catholic?) presumes to make exceptions for or about them with no clue what she's talking about. I think she will make a great replacement for Teddy, clueless yet ignorant what more could you ask for in a left wing zeolot!

Which part was funny?
All you need to win, is to bring in an ACORN troublemaker, sue the hell out of the opponent who really won, and the seat is yours. Did the same with the governor of Washington state.

Wasn't it Smalley who wrote a book about idiots? He ought to know them well.
You only have two choices… an "elitist" or a nude model..
As if Coakley won't vote against cap & tax laws? If this means voting for the lesser of two evils, then so be it. There are larger issues at stake.
angryracitlosersayswhat?
you know, I have read the constitution and while I find "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" I don't see the phrase "separation of church and state." So while that is a Jeffersonian principle, I think it's trumped by the bill of rights. The obvious point here is there was a good easy answer for the question, she is simply not smart enough to find it.
Be as idealistic as you want – it won't mean a thing to the socialists that you'd put into office with your non-support of a viable Republican candidate who would be easier to influence than the big Pharma-supporting (and funded), closed-minded socialist that is Coakley.
Most Americans support a woman's right to choose. That is what matters. Not how passionately one religion feels about the issue.
Secularism by definition is not a religion. And what is earth worship?
Words have meanings. So look them up in a dictionary and then come here and rant.
" What this is really about is sex. "
True, and about the elimination of ' inconvenient ' children.
As for who is or isn't "having sex", that is the interest of juveniles. You fit the bill, hypocrite.
Well, I seem to have struck nerve. Sorry. I should be more sensitive to the emotional needs of angry bloggers. I'll work on it.
The only procedure liberals think necessary is abortion. They go to all lengths to protect that. That's her reasoning behind this stupid remark. Maybe she should visit a hospital and see what ER's do before opening her idiotic mouth. Maybe if those chosing abortion would have taken responsibility before conception—I know that's too much to ask. Abortion is used as a birth control device in most cases.
The head of her party doesn't believe in giving aborted, living preemies any care at all. Just put them in a laundry room and let them die. Premeditated murder, if you ask me.

Dan, the population (of Priests) is not the norm. Various studies (including internal ones) put the number of homosexual priests at from 35% to 50%. Increases the chances of encountering a pedophile in that situation.
Arkyump: I'm from Taxachusetts and I often wonder the same thing. Republicans and political conservatives are just so outnumbered that it happens. We're a big union state and we were brought up with a crucifix on one wall and a picture of JFK on another wall. We have a large student population that votes left wing, a large illegal immigrant population, at one time we were attracting welfare mothers from all over the country because of the benefits our politicians were offering using our tax money. The Democrats in Massachusetts have created a self-perpetuating machine that elects them year after year and discourages opposition to them. Things are starting to change however, and I believe Brown is going to win this election so long as the Democrat officials don't steal it from him.
History repeating itself: …ye hipocrites who violate the Laws of God (Nature) in order to adhere to the pernicious "Doctrines of Men".
The "Patria-Potestas" is vested in the parent not for the convienience of the parent, but for the protection and benifit of the child.

Being from Texas I'm kind of torn on this. The election of Coakley would put in Washington D.C. a female politician dumber than 'our' Shelia Jackson Lee.

Then you aren't really catholic!
Abortion has never been legal, only decriminalized. For it to be legal there must be an amendment to the Constitution passed by the legislative branch and signed into law by the executive. Even then it must not violate laws which already exist nor the original Bill of Rights.
You need to reexamine what you said and how your OP reads. Then you need to study up on the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers and further writings from Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and Hamilton. Only then will you realize you've lost the argument and that you're only speaking from concern for self; as most liberals are all egocentric and their only true concern is for self. Any attempt at morality in your arguments is indeed hypocrisy.
JPA-, It's not working anymore, calling everyone uniformed sheep to marginalize your opposition.
Nothing was taken out of context, the audio was clear she believes the 1st Amendment's "Separation of Church and State" gives the government the authority to mandate a health care worker perform procedures that violate the workers religious convictions. In her world, the individual's religious freedom is preserved since he has a choice to move on to another job.
What job? If the provider is a health care worker and all the clinics and hospitals are government run where would they go to be free? They would have to change professions. How is that freedom? It's more like extortion.
We get it, our founders started a shooting war to end this kind of tyranny, fortunately they left us with a form of government that allows us a way to peacefully revolt.
Wellll….thanks once again for potificating in a totally irrational, nonsensical way. Yes, I raised 3 fetuses(still working on it) into their childhood years(1 now a teenager), you could say that I care and love my actual children. On the other hand, what are actual children when they are conceived? They are fetuses. As usual, you engage in the Orwellian tactic of Marxist "doublespeak", statists such as yourself have done this so well over the years. First a child becomes an un-born baby, then when that starts to lose its allure, it becomes a fetus(in a lame attempt to de-humanise it), then it becomes a lump of fetal tissue. What will it become next, afterall, abortion on demand, and abortion at all, is becoming less and less favorable and more and more abhorrent in peoples minds every year. I have no idea why you'd insinuate that I don't care about other children than my own, you're the one who wants to keep on killing them in the guise of "reproductive rights"(more doublespeak)…….
People are sick of the entitled bunch of Kennedys.
[...] BREAKING-Martha Coakley: Devout Catholics ‘Probably Shouldn’t Work in the Emergency Room’ [...]
To liberals, the constitution means nothing. Only their agenda does and it doesn't matter whether they took an oath to uphold that document. As Obama says, it limits what government can do! What a concept! It was designed to keep government out of our lives.
Can you cite incidents where Catholic Physicians won't prescribe birth control? I was not aware this is an issue?
Well said! These people are complete ignoramuses when it comes to the facts of life, and that is the life begins at conception. Period. End of story. There is no debate of this fact from those with brain cells, but there is debate from those who choose to blind themselves to reality.
What an incredulous statement, and it is very apparent that you have neither the ability, nor the facts to back up your rather paltry opinion, so you attack the other party based on your own myopic opinion of them.
As the previous comment says quite succinctly, you are a juvenile. This blog is for adults, not children.
Should doctors in the Muslim world be forced to perform female circumcision? Should doctors in China be forced to abort female babies? In Martha's world, yes. The state is supreme and doctors answer to bureaucrats.
Martha's New Freedoms:
1. Freedom of speech but not to blog or listen to conservative talk radio (bye, bye Rush).
2. Political freedom but not to work in government for those with "religion" (Martha in the Senate for life).
3. Freedom to bear arms but only in service to the State (the liberals' interpretation of the Second Amendment).
4. Freedom to believe there are no terrorists in Afghanistan now that Obama killed them all (yay!).
5. Freedom to believe we are safer with terrorists in Illinois and New York rather than Cuba.
6. Freedom to believe there are 57 states (thanks for the 7 new states, Barry).
7. Freedom to tax.
8. Freedom to spend.
9. Freedom to tax more.
10. Freedom to spend more.
Uhhh…let's see, animals have rights, trees should have rights, but not conceived children(let's not parse words here, "stem cells and fertilized egg"?). Your grasp , and usage of, classic doublespeak would make ol' uncles adolph, josef and saul alinsky right proud…..
[...] Here is the exchange during the WBSM interview (via BigGovernment.com): [...]
She is perhaps the most ridiculous moronic female in MA…..what a stupid stupid woman.
This is the point. Coakley is uninformed(to be kind about it). I am a nurse and I would say with reasonable certainty that abortions do NOT occur in the ER. Now, having said that, I would say that women who have post procedure problems relating to abortion DO visit ERs. Bleeding, infections, and other problems–including emotional ones–relating to abortion would present in the ER. Huge difference, Martha.
WOW you know your wording. are you proud of nthat little factoid?
Fantastic post, Bev!
Her best comment was in her Boston Globe editorial where she said her top priority as AG was ensuring health care. Ummm…wasn't it supposed to be law enforcement?
Coakley should be prosecuted for a civil rights violation. She is not permitted to limit the exercise of a person's religion. Nor is she permitted to bar people of certain religions (or all religions) from employment. Or create the impression that they are barred from employment.
The Attorney General of Massachusetts should look into this. No government official who believes in civil liberties and the Bill of Rights should allow this kind of intimidating hate speech in their state.
I'm tired of liberals not getting what the separation of church and state actually means and why it's never brought up with public abortions?
Mighty wide brush you're painting with, Picasso. I'm sure "most Catholics" are pleased as punch to know you're now their mouthpiece(maybe not)…..How about just speaking for yourself? Just sayin'…
CORRECT! Coakley your analysis is correct however poorly delivered. Individuals have both rights and responsibilities as employees. However employee rights are secondary to the responsibility of performing the services required of employment. Liberalism is so convoluted that at times it trips-over the absurdities that it fails to recognize or acknowledge. Please show this lady the door to an early retirement from public service.
More remarkable is Coakley's claim that their are no more than 100 Al-Qaeda terrorist in Afghanistan… and her remark that we don't need 30,000 troops to deal with 100 terrorist. http://washingtontimes.com/weblogs/watercooler/20...
GET RID OF THE FREAKING COMMUNISTS AND VOTE FOR BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to pass some time today Mik?! This posting is designed with your self proclaimed intent – 'to get a reaction'.
So charming yet so foolish. It makes little sense and I'm wondering what your real point is….surely it can't be about anyone being upset that other people are having sex?!
Really, first off, why would you care about embryos? Let's start off with abortion. Where do you think we started the slide down the slippery slope anyway? HMMM? You are very callous and pompous, look in the mirror….
Coakley you are a true PIECE OF libRETARD $h!T. How dare you make a statement like that? The doctors and nurses that take their oath pledge to save lives NOT ABORT them. Unlike corrupt politicians like yoursel, an OATH ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHIN TO THEM! I have a better quote for you, "If you are a libRETARD democRAT (especially from Massachusetts), you LIE, TAX PEOPLE TO DEATH, AND CATER TO SPECIAL INTEREST, ALL FOR YOUR OWN SELFSERVING POLITICAL EXPDENCIENCY!" That includes PUTTING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN JAIL. Your were a NIFONG before anyone knew what a NIFONG WAS! I hope the people of Massachusetts wake up and end your PATHETIC political career!
No, I'm pretty sure it is legal in all 50 states. That is the part you are trying to change, remember?
Jim, you know less about the Constitution than you do about the legal status of abortion. First, there is no need for the legislature to pass a law because the Supreme Court has decided the issue. The right to privacy is already protected by the Constitution.
Also, the president is not involved in the constitutional amendment process. Before a potential amendment gets to the states for a vote in must have a 2/3 majority in both houses of the United States Congress. Since that is exactly the required number of votes to override a presidential veto, the involvement of the president is unnecessary.
Who engaged in name calling, for instance? Don't like being called a statist? Please look up the word statist in your lexicon. You tell me if it dosen't apply to yourself. Who's excited? You engage in your normal rhetoric , as well as the same thought process every time, droning. Sorry if I offended you, just sayin'….
Us catholics are constantly offended, what hasn't happened yet is to pi** us off, yet.
It has come up from time to time over the years. Most American Catholic physicians have accepted the need to prescribe birth control or to specialize in areas that do not involve OBGYN or primary care. We had a case in Texas a few years back where a pharmacist refused to fill prescriptions because of his religious faith. This issue has been in the news from time to time:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54...
You caught me. Just having a little fun tweaking the angry right. I should probably pick on someone my own size. These guys are too easy.
I still have fond childhood memories of church and summers at a Catholic monastery. I even met Clarence Thomas one summer while his was at seminary to become a priest. Didn't realize it was him until I went back for a visit and one of the monks reminded me about him. A black seminary student was still rare at the time.
My thoughts exactly, she let that one slip.
Gingrich got on the AGW/climate change bandwagon and lost what little respect I had for him at the time.
Mark Kirk is running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate for "Obama's seat" and has the nerve to ask for my vote after voting for cap'n trade. No more losers! Elect real Americans who know what it's like to suffer under the oppression of Big Government.
Good post and responses! I also originally thought that Newt would be good, but soon lost my attraction to him! I heard on Beck that he is a Progressive, not makes sense!
I would love to see Fred Thompson run for President!!!
Coakley… just another incompetent, arrogant, corrupt Leftist Lawyer like 94% of the democratic congress.
Perfect response!!!
Trees need rights now? What is the world coming to…
Ooops… remember the first rule of blogging. He who mentions Nazis or Hitler first loses. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Did you even bother reading the reply to which I was referring? It certainly doesn't appear that you did.
Do you know and understand the meaning of the term "no-con", or do you too use it as a pejorative, willy nilly, incorrectly ?
His post was so ineptly written, one could take his reference to "governor of Texas" gto be about Perry, Bush, or anyone else who has ever held the office.
As to my or others here, who are right of center, using "talking points" sent out by the RNC, all I have toi say to that is PROVE IT ! If you are unable to prove that I quote them, then, then you must agree to leave this site and all of its sister sites……………..FOREVER. Deal ?
lol, we're all a bit angry these days…
As a matter of fact American Catholics are famous for it and it even has a name… cafeteria Catholic. You need a little birth control, sure why not. That whole no sex before marriage thing getting inconvenient, what the heck, go for it. Miss Mass last week, no prob. You can confess it later.
Hmmm…..interesting. I suppose juvenile is an apt description of you. Once again, don't respond to the post directly. Freud would have a field day with you……See ya' around
Do you? Do you like a taste of your own medicine, albeit better prepared?
Actually, I'm not a Catholic, I just know how I'd feel if a hypocrite spoke for my faith. Why even bother calling yourself a Catholic? You're obviously disgusted with the Catholic religion and its tenets, and religion in general……..You are quite the judge, remember Matthew 7:1? Just sayin'
You have the right to worship anyway you please. You have no right not to be offended… whatever that means.
I don't have to agree to anything. If only it were that easy huh red?
Oh that was a gook one! The way you replaced the c in America with a k… sort of commied it all up. Very clever.
No, you don't have to agree to anything and it was a "sucker's bet" anyway; but I said it to prove my point……………..which it did ! I don't post any "talking points" of any kind and you know it.
You ignored everything else I said, though. That means that you are incapable of any refutation. Pity that…………………………………………………………………
For me it was when he went to see his wife on the cancer ward carrying divorce papers. But in his defense, he did need her signature before he could legally marry his girlfriend.
Well played Newt.
Here's a better idea(r). How about ALL liberals just leave the country! They ruin it anyway. We'd be much better off without them.
Not in Massachusetts. Being a Democrat trumps even being a Catholic.
How come you don't log in to intensedebate anymore? Too many thumbs down?
Don't take yourself so seriously.
Abandoning logic is no way to win an argument, but I see your just enjoying a troll.
I just thought of something ridiculously PC.
Walmart will not make a muslim ring up pork but a hospital can force a catholic to perform an abortion.
Humanity has really lost it.
Why are Catholics stupid enough to vote for Democrats?
Guess what, really now.?..John Kerry's wife has many catsup factories that are overseas. Mostly in Europe.
You've completely proved my point, that you'll vote for anyone with an R next to their name to take away "Ted's" seat. Don't come complaining on here in 2 years when Brown is continuing to spend your State's tax money frivolously and votes for cap and trade.
I agree. These people have know idea of the courage of the human soul, even a tiny new life. I have seen babies that we thought could never make it overcome huge problems and make it.
By the was the care givers weren't all Catholic.
Again, I don't understand her logic, or lack there of.
Here you go buddy
How shocked would you be to find out that, in 2008, Republican state senator Scott Brown voted for a Northeastern states CAP-AND-TRADE law?
Scott Brown joined the Democrats and passed legislation requiring Massachusetts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in a cap-and-trade pact among Northeastern states requiring power plants to reduce emissions or to buy credits from cleaner industries.
"Reducing carbon dioxide emission in Massachusetts has long been a priority of mine,'' Brown said in a news release in 2008. "Passing this legislation is an important step . . . towards improving our environment.''
How stunned would you be to hear that Scott Brown said, "I believe that every American is entitled to health care"? He said this on Sean Hannity on FOX and during the US Senate debates broadcast on radio and TV.
He is part of the single-payer, universal medical care faction that is moving us toward a government-managed, tax-funded government medical care monopoly. Scott Brown says medical care is a government-granted right of every American.
How surprised would you be if the Boston Globe printed an article tomorrow telling you that Scott Brown VOTED WITH the Massachusetts Teachers Unions over 94% of the time?
FINALLY, how flabbergasted would you be if WGBH-TV (the Boston PBS affiliate) revealed that Scott Brown VOTED WITH the Democratic Majority in the legislature over 91% of the time?
So there, I "proved it" and as for the Texas Governor who is now leveraging the tea party position despite his contradictory voting behavior: Rick Perry.
Please understand who you're supporting and why. Don't come back here complaining that politicians have let you down again after 2010 because you clearly have no grasp on what you're talking about
- That's a relief that Al Qaeda's in Pakistan, not Afghanistan…I'm sure they'll stay over there…yet the very day of the debate 3 men died in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan.
- Not merely wealthy people…wealthy lobbyists for the HC industry (why do they want Coakly to win?)
- The reporter asked if she stood by her comment at the debate…she ignored him. (There's video of it)
- The AP had a very clear photo of her staring right at the Weekly Standard reporter on the ground
- For her to say that separation of church and state means that doctors must check their consciences at the door misses the point. Does this not give Big Brother the power to tell us what is right and wrong?
- What should a law enforcement officer in Virginia in 1835 have done if he detained a runaway slave. The law says one thing, but his conscience says another. What should he do? Maybe only pro-choice (for slavery) law enforcement workers should be hired.
- Should a doctor or pharmacist be required by law to give a drug that they believe will kill a human being?
Whilst some of what you posted is true, some of it is either distorted or just outright lies/Dem talking points.
Go ahead and vote for Coakley, if you even live in Mass. ( which I doubt ), but be aware that Brown has repeatedly said that he wouldn't vote for ObamaCare, if he is elected.
Do you have any idea how our government works…………….any at all?
There are some states where the best we can do is a mushy middle/a little left GOPer. That's far better than allowing the Dems to keep control of both Houses and the White House. That you are oblivious to this, speaks volumes about your dearth olf knowledge and understanding.
It's "PURISTS"/UNAPEASEBLES , such as yourself ( unless you are a Dem stooge ), who will always willingly allow the worst of the worst Dems to win.
As to Governor Perry…………………………………He's not Jewish, he was never a TROTSKYITE, and you truly should never use words or terms, the meaning of which you know less than nothing of, misuse, and ruins any and all points you imagine you are making.
The ONLY things that you've "proved" are that you are ignorant, a political naif, and don't even have the most tenuous grasp of what you're talking about, politics, how our government works, history, and how to write a sucinct, coherent, cogent post.
You can't even parody someone this dumb.
Ah name calling, a great tactic used by people who are simply ignorant and incapable of thoughtful argument. Also a tactic of the left. Vote for lesser of two evils and receive evil.
More talking points? That's all you have; kid?
You post absolute garbage, misuse the term "neo-con", and appear to much rather lose every single election, to Dems, than to get even a bit of something. Perhaps, as you mature, you'll learn to stop being a rigid, ignorant, naif; but, I doubt it.
My arguments are thoughtful; they're also factual and valid.
OTOH, all you appear to be able of posting is drivel.
And claiming that I am using "lefty tactics" is beyond laughable; though I am laughing AT you. LOL
All of these so-called Catholics are just more crosses the orthodox must bear. It is so sickening to hear people such as Kerry, Pelousy, Kennedy, and this twit refer to themselves as being Catholic. Opposition to abortion has always been a defining issue in the Church. Still, whenever the "media" wants to interview a "catholic" they always trot one of these apostates out. You shall know them by the fruit they bear.
Actually, if you go back and read this thread, you'll find that I am the only person to truly put forth though provoking comments and facts. All you have done is just mention the term 'talking points' 10 times though seem to have none for yourself.
You're not doing a good job at arguing whatever points you may think you've brought up, instead choosing to go to my twitter page to 'smear' me, which makes you seem even less intelligent than your childish comments have already done.
You have proven to have no grasp on the issues, and do not understand the candidate you are backing. Its people like you who continue to put criminals, liars, and cheats into office. If my support for issues that I believe are imperative for a politician to embody: pro small government (the name of the site is BigGovt), pro liberty, anti spending, war, and taxes makes me rigid, then so be it. If the alternative is to be a flexible GOP member who will vote anyone in with an R next to their name and a chance to win, then that is something I will never be.
Next presidential voting cycle should be interesting for you, because people like me are going to vote for who we want to lead us, not for who can win. It may cost you another R in office. And that is my last comment on this topic. Enjoy your day
Thanks! I had forgotten about that one. How he has any credibility left is beyond me. If he runs he will finish no better than 4th in Iowa and probably get less than 10%.
I'm sure you will think I'm a Bozo, but I think Sarah will win the nomination and beat Obolshevik. in 2012. And I think it will be just what this country needed. No more Leftists and no more re-treads.
Can I see one?
I'm not clear who you are labeling a troll, but I assure you I am not.
And Mik, I'm lost on your response! Makes no sense to me..
The only thing in your mind is the propaganda you have been spewing.
He just has his knickers in a twist because you tagged him, and his useless arguments.
Indulging yourself in delusions of gandeur again? Such a little person, and so bitter….
Abortion is not slavery. If it were you should be complaining a lot more. But you're not and that is telling. Abortion is just something that the Republican party trots out every two years to get the base fired up and then never do anything else about it. Your involvement is to complain about it on a blog. No, abortion is not slavery. It is a hot button wedge issue that you demagogue.
The patient is the woman. Period. A fetus that is not viable outside of the womb does not have Constitutional guarantees. So yes, a pharmacist should be required by the groups that license and control the profession. If they don't want to dispense medication we can find 10 people who will. do it.
The problem with the abortion issue is there is no room for compromise, because if you truly believe it is murder you must oppose it. Too bad. Because I think there is lots of opportunity to limit the demand for abortion, but making it illegal it not going to make it go away. Just as prohibition did not make the demand for alcohol go away. If it were to be made illegal tomorrow 150 legal clinics would close and 150 butcher shops would open. So abortion opponents may have good intentions, but they increase the number of abortions by not allowing compromise.
Your attitude is why the Republican party is becoming an exclusive club of neocons. No room for diversity and shrinking every year. It's a shame because we need two viable parties to make the system work. Today we have two parties, but they are both Democrat.
Catholics were going to vote for him anyway. This means nothing. This election is all about turnout, and we have the Democrat machine's attention now. They will get out their people and Coakley will win… and it won't even be close.
That's all you got ? Weak.
Loser and hypocrite.
BUH-BYE, juvenile. Come back when you grow some moral and intellectual height.
We agree. She will be great and probably serve for the next 20 years.
Now, that's a darn good idea–toss the Catholics out of health care. After all, only ONE in SIX hospital patients in America are treated in Catholic hospitals. Yes, indeed…very good way to enhance health care–shutting down the services of some of the most ethical, loving, devoted servants in America….the very same people who because of their faith will not take the life of an unborn baby in the name of "therapy," yet were among the first (and only) people to open AIDS hospices in California when that disease burst with ravaging fury upon our country in the 1980s. Yes, this is exactly the kind of politician that Obama needs in Congress. America doesn't need her, Mass doesn't need her, but she is dead square in the Obama way of thinking….
Tired old argument, and I doubt seriously if you have ever read the Constitution.
Separation of church and state is still the law of the land, otherwise there would be crucifixes in every public school classroom like there were in my Catholic school classrooms. There are not…
Go Scott Brown! He's surging in the polls even as we speak. This dingbat has GOT to go! People of Massachusetts, please do the right thing! Vote for Scott Brown. All of America is watching and praying for help from Massachusetts, just as we did over 200 hundred years ago.
I support Cowboy's flag. We ARE in distress, but that will change on Tues! Go, Brown!
No doubt that "people like you" will vote for some weirdo/fringe candidate, thus giving aid and comfort to Obama. Hopefully there won't be al,l that many of you and your ilk; there usually isn't, though you did help to give us Clinton and Obama.
Oh I've made plenty of points, unlike you; you just don't like what I have had to say.
Lots of people take a look at other posters' pages. And since yours is so revealing, you haven't a leg to stand on.
I have been interested in and knowledgeable in politics and history all my life. You haven't a scintilla of an idea what you're talking about; perhaps it's time you bothered to learn.
You post handouts about Brown, most of which isn't true or are 1/2 truths. It's all propaganda and nothing that you have found on your own, or even understand what you're posting.
The all or nothing crowd, of which you are a rabid proponent, always, always, always gets……………………………..NOTHING!
Breitbart's sites are :BIG HOLLYWOOD, BIG GOVERNMENT, BIG JOURNALISM as well as Breitbart T.V., Breitbart News, and coming soon, a few more BIG other sites. So stop trying to interpret the whys and wherefores of what's in Andrew's mind.
I understood everything up to the end of "history repeating itself"… then some old English followed by what probably should have been "hypocrites", and then something about natural laws and bad men.
Then an obscure reference to ancient law and parents and kid (probably a metaphor of some kind), and then nonsense.
Way to communicate frank…
He's surging too early and he is going to fade. This election will come down to turnout as all out of cycle elections do, and the right wing excitement has awakened the Democratic get out the vote effort.
I would brace for some disappointment… so near, and yet so far.
What a crock of, shall we say, poo…
Sorry pal… not going anywhere. But nice try. angryneoconsayswhat?
I'm sure glad we don't allow those "philandering homosexuals" is Texas.
Everyone "who has a brain"? What are you 12? I hope you are still around here on Wednesday….
Atheists (at least this one) don't believe in an "earth" god. Who told you THAT crock of sh*t? I know it's rare to find an atheist conservative, but here I am. You pointing fingers at people of other faiths/religeons is the same reason they mock you. I don't care if you believe in a little man in the sky, that's your business. Just don't mix religeon with legislation. I'm pro choice, but its ELECTIVE surgery, which means I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S ABORTION! I believe that man has the potential to accomplish/achieve anything. You beleive that all can be accomplished through God, I believe that all can be accomplished through willpower, persistence, ingenuity, and individual liberty. Also, if you remember, the Catholic church (and some protestants) don't have a very good track record throughout history of being particularly nice or tolerant.
Her record in the case of the 2 year old victim of sexual abuse by her uncle says it all. What a goddamn sack of shit bitch! Too bad we don't utilize public caneing and stocks. They could beat the living shit out of that bitch and lock her in stocks so the citizens could rid themselves of rotten tomatoes in a very useful way. Why wasn't she tried and convicted of aiding and abetting a child molester? Could it be that his union connected family was putting too much money in her campaign? She needs to go to prison and those who vote for this pervert need their heads examined.
Oops, since I can't exactly edit, thanks for the correction in your last paragraph, which I unfortunately left out, regarding Article V.
Now, as to the Supreme Court, the jurisdiction of which is laid out in Article III, Section 2; "The judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority…"
Roe v. Wade was clearly a case of the Court overstepping its bounds and legislating from the bench, which IS unconstitutional.
Oh, I see…………………….you're a on Paulite, look like a hippie ( cut your hair ! ), are rather young, and come from San Fran.
Yes, did a cursory look at your page…………………………..it explains quite a lot about you; none of it "good" !

Cafeteria Catholics, in other words.
What's really annoying is Mika takes a term of derision ("cafeteria Catholics") and treats it as an excuse to not try.
Of course, he's a dishonorable little weasel so it's not really a surprise he'd embrace it so eagerly.
Bingo
You aren't looking for answers red. You want to vent and it makes you angry when I don't play.
Back to name calling again huh red?
But you are right about our Gov. Perry. He is not Jewish. He grew up in a little town about 100 miles from me in west Texas.
He is also not going to survive the primary challenge from Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Pretty simplistic view of the Constitution. Almost cartoon-like.
Have you ever taken an oath to "support and defend" the Constitution? Before you do, read it…
Ouch… very angry there Nurse Jackie. Better get back on the pills.
Now gowidgod.
Still, let's go ahead and let folks vote on Tuesday… Just for fun.
Unlikely… Karl Marx didn't believe in god.
Also, it is much more likely that man created god in his own image… then assigned him human characteristics like anger and jealousy.
It didn't take any prodding from god to get us to multiply. We have been humping like bunnies since long before man learned how to write scripture.
"Bible mentality.." I like that. I may have to steal it.
Hey rich…. what do you get when you cross an atheist philosopher with a dyslexic insomniac?
Someone who stays awake at night wondering if there really is a dog.
So Annie, I guess you are opposed to capital punishment…
So has the church flip-flopped on birth control? I must have missed that.
Democrats own MA and have all weekend to get out the vote. It won't be close.
Pretty bold statement there huge. I've known a few Catholics to wink at some of the more inconvenient commandments.
But then that is why we have confession. So nobody gets hurt.
They also have the best get out the vote machine in the country. Is that what we are calling corruption these days?
Try again…
Unlikely. She will probably still be pi-ssing you off in 25 years from now. Still, the po-rn star has an outside chance.
Then why aren't you picketing the in vitro clinics. They destroy thousands of fertilized human embryos every year. But not a peep.
Surely you are not ready to bestow human rights on an egg before it can attach itself…
How does the church feel about regular old contraception? You know, pills and condoms…
"peacefully revolt"… Here in America that is called elections. So don't forget to vote, and remember that when you cast that ballot, it is an unwritten contract between you and your fellow citizens to abide by the results of the election.
The alternative is called treason.
No, I don't "want to vent" and haven't done that at all; neither am I "angry".
Your serious projection complex needs help…………………get some; precious. ;^)
Can't recognize sarcasm ? ;^)
I was joking about your supposed "manhood"; precious.
I'm sure you are a nice person… I'm just not interested. But thanks…
Of course you're "interested" in me, mik………………if you weren't, you wouldn't pay this mush attention to me; precious.
OTOH, the ONLY "interest" I have in you, is refuting your nonsensical posts.
we need the people in Mass to be at the polling places and watching for ACORN shenanigans. The democrats are not going to die quietly. Hanna and James need to be there with cameras rolling, and we need to be attemptimg to do our version of "to catch a predator" except we can call it, "to catch a crook"
It's hard to understand how a woman like that can function on a day-to-day basis. It's even harder to understand how half of the voters in an entire state regard her as the better of two alternatives.

Do not speak unless the teleprompter tells you to. Do not go off script. All who disagree with you are insane racist hatemongers. You are the pride of the Democratic party. Go forth and make their legs tingle.
Abandoning logic is the best way to keep one's faith in God. Stop thinking, and just keep saying rosaries.
Our laws are not based on the 10 Commandments. Do you even know them? What law says it's illegal to lust after your neighbor's wife, oxen, or other property? (WTF, wives are property?) What law says that it's illegal to worship any god other than Yahweh? Which law prohibits us from working on Sundays? Which commandment prevents child abuse (none)?
Would you beleive that Martha is an anti-Catholic Catholic
Can you remember when Martha and another anti-Catholic Catholic Capuano denounced the Bishop of Providence for requesting Kennedy to refraim from communion?
First the Senate then the House of Reps
VOTE THE BUMS OUT
I find it curous that liberals spend so much time and energy demonizing Sarah Palin when they have the best target right in their backyard. The fact that she is even where she is speaks volumes about the people of Massachusetts. However, it looks like may the sun has broken through – let's hope so. It isn't just the people of Massachusetts, it's nationwide ignorance that has brought us to this point. Lots of good point in the comments but this viewof hers on emergency room treatment is truly astonishing in its demonstration of unawareness.

I still don’t understand what the big deal is here. I agree with her 100%. All she’s saying is that someone who will not perform emergency birth control procedures because of religious reasons should not put themselves in a position where they would be counted on to do so as part of their job. Why is that controversial? Of course people have religious freedom to do what they want in their personal lives but it's different in the workplace. If their job description includes something that they have a problem with, they should not be there. If you suddenly found out your doctor recently decided not to use a particular drug that could save your life (maybe because it came from stem cells), would you maybe want a different doctor? Especially in an emergency situation?
