So sick of Coulter I hope she skips a meal and starves to death.

She sucks up to Conservatives until it matters, then it's doughboy Christie or who knows what.

I'm done.

[Erik Latranyi]

This is Coulter at her best!

She still needs to apologize for Romney and Christie.

[Kaslin]

You read the name of the author of the column and decided to bitch abut her instead of commenting about the article. Correct?

[Kaslin]

I thought it was, and yes she does

[867V309]

No, I know the history of the author of the column which apparently you don’t.

It is interesting that when conservatives spoke out against unwed motherhood, they were pilloried for being judgmental and uncool. It’s not hip to take a stand on moral grounds. But now the liberals want to take the same position. Not for moral grounds, but because of money.

I’d rather be moral than crass.

"The stigma against smoking has gone so swimmingly that you can't enjoy a little tobacco pleasure 50 yards from another human being without some bossy woman marching over and accusing you of poisoning her."

This just happened to me the other day...was at the hospital for surgery on a family member and decided to go outside to have a cigarette...walked thru the front doors while digging in my purse for my pack of smokes...no sooner got them out and in view when a hospital security person started running at me and screaming that "you can't smoke here"...my cigarette wasn't even out of the pack yet...and I was on my way to a "designated smoking area"...I have always been what I thought to be a respectful smoker...even when it was legal to smoke in a restaurant I didn't because I felt like people trying to enjoy their meal didn't want to smell my cigarette smoke...you cannot be nice to these people though...respect their rights and you just lose more of your own...now when I see someone giving me the evil eye for smoking, I make damn sure the smoke gets blown in their direction...

That's right! We don't tolerate imperfection in conservative circles!

We only support the most perfect candidates.....which is why the most conservative candidates always lose our support in the primaries!

Liberals would support drone strikes on smokers!

Now, THAT is a poll I would like to see!

[Kaslin]

You don’t know anything about her. You signed up 1 year and 14 days ago, which was right after the hatred of some in here against her started.,because she opined on something they did not like. Remember everyone has the right to their opionin. That however does not include you since the article is not about her but what these Nannies, especially Mayor Bloomberg are telling everyone what they should do

Thanks a lot for your kindergarten attitude. Some people are deathly allergic to cigarette smoke. Even one whiff of that stinking stuff can trigger an asthma attack which could be fatal. Let’s see how you enjoy a belt half tight enough to hang you, wrapped around your neck, so YOU can’t breathe.

[Kaslin]

Well, you know how liberals are

[Kaslin]

Bump

[~Vor~]

I stand by my statement...if I’m in a designated smoking area perhaps the non-smoker should exercise some personal responsibility and stay away...walking into that area and then crying foul or casting dirty looks is typical liberal logic...

“Even one whiff of that stinking stuff can trigger an asthma attack which could be fatal”

Medical source, please.

“...deathly allergic...”

I call BS. Google it and try to find one instance of it happening. Maybe a few hysterical people dies from a panic attack caused by cigarette smoke.
