    That's in the UK dude. Is the pill sold at target/walgreens a no prescription form?

    No extra charge for the coverage. The insurance company can still charge for copay's, just as they do for other types of prescription medication.

    Who's asking for something for nothing? All that's being asked here is that prescription birth control be covered like other prescription medication. These women pay thousands for this health care coverage that covers medication they will never use. All they are asking is for prescriptions they do use to be covered as well. I really don't see what's terrible about that or how that equates to wanting free stuff.

    I'm beginning to think you have never actually read Fluke's testimony. She states that one of the problems is that many women's clinics are unable to meet the high volume of patients requesting their services. And with certain people trying to pull funding from clinics like planned parenthood, that problem will only get worse.

    Bitterness engenders bitterness. That's why I beat leftists over the head with the ongoing stream of American deaths in Afghanistan.

    What happened with Rushbo with this college coed was decades in the making ... he had no concept how it would go ...

    He didn't learn a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing when Beckerhead was run-off Faux Noize because Roger Ailes became so paranoid he believed Libs were gonna firebomb his studio ...
    Beckerhead was even run-out of his home in Connecticut and had to flee to to Texas because that's the only place he would feel welcome ...


    Face it ... Maher is the reigning Jim Carry of the Liberal satire agenda ...

    I realize the story is from the UK. But it really doesn't matter. http://buybirthcontrol.net/


    Yes. But the contraception itself has been mandated by Sibellius and Obama for free.


    I get several medications every month. Not a one of them are free. We would all love free stuff. But someone at some point has to pay for the "free" stuff that
    Obama wants to provide.
    The basic point still remains: Why am I expected to pay for Fluke's contraception? How is that fair? Why can't she pay her own way?

    I got a reputation comment from over on that thread ... it was an odd one ... odd because in no way would Sun-Tzu deal with any of the right-wingers posting over there ...
    Don't know who sent the reputation so I wouldn't know what it meant ...

    I don't know what you're driving at...all I can say is that bill maher disgusts me, he is not funny even a little bit to me, and if you think he is only a "comic" than you need your head examined.

    He means what he say (and gets away with it as joking) I'd bet on 90% of the time.

    "bill maher said it than he must have just been joking" just does not fly with him. He is an angry guy, with ugly guy little man syndrome. He was probably beat up as a kid.

    Hmm...a stand-up comedy acts often make such extremely controversial statements. The audience isn't supposed to take them seriously. We're supposed to assume the comedian doesn't honestly believe the things he or she is saying.

    Rush Limbaugh, although often described as an entertainer, has an audience who does seem to take his ideas pretty seriously.

    We'd all do a lot better for ourselves if we simply stopped taking these people so seriously.

    That said, if I were Maher's agent, or his lawyer, or his wife, or his best buddy, or anyone with even the slightest trace of intelligence, I'd suggest he not try to defend his actions. Just shut the (*)(*)(*)(*) up until this (*)(*)(*)(*) blows over. Unless his plan was to say, "Hey, I'm a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag. Limbaugh's a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag. What did you folks expect?"

    That, in my mind, would be a reasonable defense--laudable even.

    Is it ok for a leftist to denigrate conservative women with the use of sexualized epithets?

    LOL, I no longer live in Texas if that was a dig. Beck was on the strange side how he had to explain every aspect of his "theories." Almost like MSNBC I watch an listen to every biased news source. They all put their spin on the news. Rush was a hypocrite his stance on the" war on drugs" then his own issues was enough to turn me off. I don't defend rush we have freedom of speech. That doesnt mean you won't have to pay the consequence. It seems to be an obvious double standard. The only issue is the money if Obama super-pact had refused the donation based on his concern for his daughters. I guess if a right-wing comic(not sure they exist) that had told jokes about those two nice young ladies. Then donated a million to Santorum(i dont like him either)would they not be a uproar from the left.

    Maher has come to the defense of Limbaugh. He's not parading censorship and he's actually told liberals that trying to get Rush off the air is unAmerican.

    Sun Tzu wrote the Art of War. He's been dead for about 2,500 years. My dear, Sun Tzu was a right winger in a very real sense.

    Sun Tzu wrote that if one knows one's self and one's enemy one need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles. If he were alive today he would not have fled from the other thread.

    Instead he would have stayed so he would come to understand how his enemy thought so he could use that knowledge to defeat his enemy. There is a wide spectrum of conservative thought. Just because you know some parts of that spectrum does not mean that you know the entire spectrum.

    If you don't know your enemy you run the risk of being surprised. You should read the master.
