This is the forum for every politically extreme crackpot with early onset demetia, schizophrenia and so forth.

They come here because they've likely driven all their friends and family away and no one will talk politics with them in real life.

Mathguy, I just did some googling, and I am unable to find any evidence to substantiate your assertion that this forum is made of up all politically extreme crackpots who have alienated themselves from friends and family.

Please, I will need more facts. Oh, and go educate yourself, really. You are a racist.

The abortion debate is ultimately a debate about money... who woulda thunk... poor and middle class women would pay in cash the remittance due to the 1% that is denied them because they cannot use the aborted fetus as cannon fodder or blue collar toil or Prison Industrial Complex slavery... ... interesting. Romney lost, so the planned victory over Planned Parenthood never materialized... this 'abortion tax' would be a consolation prize... is this why Republicans are planning to use the Debt Ceiling (again!) as a hostage, because they are going to lose the battle over tax hikes on the wealthy? Man do I ever feel dirty everytime I witness first hand just how calculating and slimy Conservative Republicans are. Its like playing chess with a computer... its relentlessly, ruthlessly competitive. Ego without a soul. Admirable when the game is chess. Not so much, otherwise...

Ok, how's this?: the o.p. premise is stupid, smarmy and specious... in the extreme. And your strenuous defense of it is ... surprising.

You have no idea how bad it is in this forum. If you are looking for intelligent debate, go somewhere else.

I agree with you, yet republicans complain about moochers in this country. Explain to me how its good to allow a woman who isn't in the best position to raise a kid, who probably will struggle and need to be supported by the government helping the conservative cause? O yea, we'll put them in foster care because we all know that's a smooth operation
