The Bucknuts Hot Spot

Sorry to shoot a hole in your clever little diatribe, but for many years devout Catholics have practiced what's called the rhythm method. Look it up. Catholics aren't asked to abstain from sex, but practice a form of natural birth control by having sex only when a woman is likely to be incapable of conceiving - probably why he has so many kids. Since it's less than perfect there's even an old Catholic joke that goes something like this:

Question: "What do you call Catholic couples who practice the rhythm method?"

Answer: "Parents"

I am Catholic and have tried the rhythm method. My wife didn't like my selection of music. Oooh well

I think you're on to something here.

A woman can conceive even during her period.... Rhythm is an epic fail.... BTW, I'm Catholic.... Most Catholic females today use contraceptives of some type... not rhythm....

I'm not sure if you understand this or not but worrying about deficits only when it's not falling squarely on the shoulders of your guys is not a good way of eliminating the deficit.

Hey, pal, Santorum has stated his own views on the issue and also indicated that he would not act to make his views law. Why are Mario Cuomo and other Democrat Catholics lauded by leftists for their similar stance on a much more important public issue (abortion, which involves the destruction of life), and Santorum ridiculed? I know, consistency, logic and moral sanity are too much to ask of any truly committed leftist. Enjoy your time in dreamland.

And if libs stop having bowel movements, there will be no more conservatives.

Save your fingers, after calling me a dick and telling me to shove it up my old wrinkled ass, you have already showed what a hypocrite you are when it comes to class and grossness.

You mean the Catholic hospitals which take billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars a year? Those that compete with secular hospitals but want to pick and choose what rules they will follow? Once they take a dollar of taxpayer money, they should be teated like any other hospital. Separation of church and state does not allow churches to refuse to follow laws, etc. which are passed for everyone to follow. Show me that right, to refuse to follow a general law or legal policy in the Constitution.

You have it backwards, it is the religious dogmatists who want in our bedrooms and in a woman's vagina (new vaginal ultra-sound in Virginia before a woman can terminate her pregnancy) who are trying to shove their beliefs down everyone else's throat. You have every right to be against contraceptives, gay marriage, and abortions. But you have no right to try to impose your religious beliefs on other.

This is coming from the political party that would love to be able to insert religion into our government. Hell even your post smacks of that. It was about available contraception, Obama and the Catholics have moved on. Only the Religious Right is trying to make political hay out of it. You don't even see yourselves as the party that would be the totalitarian religious government if you could get away with it. You are the ones who have always tried to insert your beliefs into the lives of people and to tell them what to do. A woman's body is her own business. Quit trying to make this out to be Obama vs. Christians when it's Republicans vs. women..

Its funny how the libs will attack anyone they feel my threaten the chosen one.

I'm a conservative that believes that the government should stay the hell out of social issues. I want freedom to make money and keep it(low taxes small government). But just as I'm free to make money and keep it . Smaller government means I should also be free to use birth control, get an abortion (till the medical community recognizes it as murder) smoke marijuana, marry who I want (man or woman) and whatever else the religious fanatics want to control. The republican party bows to the religious fanatics and thats why this country is f'd up.
They should be working on economic policy not playing in what I do with the rest of my life. So whoever the republican nominee is, the first time he mentions god ,religion or abortion he will have lost my vote. I'll pay higher taxes to keep the government out of my life.

It's not "separation of church and state," it's the establishment clause and the free exercise clause of the first amendment. And for your information, a constitutional doctrine long recognized by the Supreme Court is that the government cannot condition the receipt of a benefit on the recipient's reliniquishment of a constitutional right. So, the fact that the government has the power of the purse does not authorize it to condition the receipt of funds on someone violating his/her free exercise rights. You and other leftists would do well to educate yourself a bit about the Constitution before venting--but again, asking someone like you to express an informed opinion (particularly about the Constitution) is likely an impossible demand.

This issue has nothing to do with the left's paranoid shibboleth of religious people invading your bedroom (who would be interested in any event? Revulsion is the most likely emotional response). Contraception is readily available throughout the United States--so your ability to carry out your sexual escapades is not impeded by religious organizations that refuse to provide it out of their own religious convictions and respect for life. In your zeal to advance your own misguded agenda, however, you would be glad to force others to do what they believe is unethical. Who is the real totalitarian? Some friendly advice may serve you well. Instead of worrying about your bedroom so much and spewing your bigotry on here, you would do well to occupy your mind and efforts on other activities. It would improve your psychological profile and mental outlook, among other things.
