As opposed to sounding like the typical bleating left-wing goat!

Ya know, on that point - could any of you conservatives explain to me HOW same sex marriage damages traditional marriages? If anything is damaging traditional marriage - it would seem that heterosexual divorce leads the pack.


Do you have a link, with facts, to validate your statement??

Do you have 1 example of a woman dieing in a "back alley abortion"?

The media is a business. It's about ratings.

You are correct on that one and that is why liberal radio and liberal cable news cannot compete. No one will listen to their ridicules diatribes, conspiracy theories and skewed “news”.

I DO NOT AND NEVER HAVE LISTENED TO TALK RADIO. I listen to music on the radio. It's not that I am opposed to talk radio but my radio insists on playing music.
It doesn't matter. That's where the idea originated. You either acquired it first-hand or second-hand. You didn't gain it from observation, because observation proves the contrary.

What are you talking about. This makes no sense. . . first-hand knowledge is usually gained by observation.

This is a two click link.
First you can read the background about this woman, and then, only if you want to, you can click on a *very graphic* photo of a woman who died from a botched illegal abortion.

One more warning: the photo is very graphic and very sad, but it is two clicks away, this link does not lead directly to it:

First-hand or second-hand from talk radio. Which means, maybe her husband listens to talk radio and parrots Rush Limbaugh's propaganda to her. That would be second-hand. First-hand would be listening to Rush Limbaugh.
