Remember Sandra Fluke, the 30-year old student who got her 15 minutes of fame last year by becoming the poster child for subsidized birth control?

Maybe, but they’d probably give you a real bad case of the squirts.

Life is too short to waste my time trying to help delusional idiots to think for themselves.

She’s (Fluke)fortunately faded away

Only temporarily.

She will come back, likely to run for office.

She has earned her liberal stripes, she has name recognition, Libs adore her and Rush drew widespread attention to her.

When we are young we are unwise yet certain of our beliefs.

As we grow older we become less certain, but we have become more set in our ways and have worked ourselves into situations where it is very difficult to change our beliefs.

I think it is true for most people, liberal or conservative, that most can't allow for their views to change much so arguments only serve to reinforce biases.

I think the best one can do is get someone with differing views to see that maybe you're not completely crazy for believing differently.

If the USA starts to become more conservative it will only be because a huge swath of young people today are finding it hard to get a job. If those young people want more out of life they will want politicians that create a business friendly environment so they can be successful. If those young people are OK with living off the dole then stick a fork in us. We're done.

Often times the liberal has no idea that they even HAVE base assumptions,

Liberals' assumptions are nothing if not base.

It’s not really liberals vs conservatives, the real problem is rational vs irrational. It’s found everywhere, especially in business. I’ve run into many conservative Christian business leaders who are flat out irrational more often than they should be - even the CEO of the company I work for. It’s been unbelievable to me, make a value statement in a business plan then don’t live it, when living it would clearly be better for the company’s bottom line. Pride contributes to that behavior, and often in the blend is a certain amount of narcissism.

So it's the evil corporations that are to blame?

Don't hate the playa, hate the game.

It's the all powerful government and politicians that make the game.

They must be brought to heel.

“drug giant Pfizer, which sells $7.6 million a year in name-brand birth control pills,”

Million? That’s pretty paltry.

It's why big business and big government go hand in hand. Notice how the chamber of commerce through the "moderates" in the GOP spend more time attacking conservatives than fighting for the repeal of 0bamacare.

How many in the McCain wing of the GOP are protesting the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups?

Look for her to run for congress in 2016 on shillarys pants suit coat tails.

Dems love that self centered victimization of issues no matter how illogical of costly.

Rationed with? Well I guess that works given the liberal mindset that big gov’t run by them will ration out everything.

If they’re eating and not working,
and not working and still eating,

our country is doomed.

It’s only 21,000 women a year. That doesn’t seem right.

Democrats should definitely be rationed, very thinly. But they are irrational and can not be reasoned with. No way, no how.

RINOs believe Obama could be reasoned with.

Conservatives are smarter and never did.

I do believe that liberals should be rationed. About 1 per 1,000 pop, just so we never forget.
