Warner: Christians, NRA members. prolifers and homeschoolers are a threat to America

i don't think that i've chimed in on the palin/rape kit issue. but, i do recall reading a report where one woman testified that there were bills sent to the victim's insurance companies from the wasilla department, and you agree. what happens when the insurance company does not cover any or a portion of the bill sent to them? what happens with your insurance? well, with mine, the rest is billed to me. i suppose one could still argue that the bill wasn't sent from palin's mailbox.

the fact is that the official policy was there that would have allowed the practice of billing the victims or their insurance companies to continue, whether you found a case in practice or not. and this happened with palin's knowledge.

on the issue with dobson and gays... we know that he interprets the bible literally, and that includes the old testament. so, even if he hasn't said it (that you can find in the media) what would you assume his position to be on the punishment of such a sin as he believes homosexuality to be?

he thinks that homosexuality can be cured, as if it's a disease (see ted haggard). he has said, "Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth." and "But they're ruining the nation, and they're seducing your children, and they're bringing disease to your community." and "Our poor boys on the front lines will have to face two different enemies, one from the front and one from the rear [by homosexuals]."

then again, maybe righty conservative is confusing dobson with jimmy swaggert who said:

"I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain: if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died."

or religious republican judge roy moore:

"The State carries the power of the sword, that is, the power to prohibit [homosexual] conduct with physical penalties, such as confinement and even execution. It must use that power to prevent the subversion of children toward this lifestyle."

or anti-homosexual hate-nut, fred phelps who has said things that cannot be repeated here.

understandably, it's almost impossible to keep all of these crazies separate when they all spew the same hate, all in the name of god and the bible.

first of all, you need to read more carefully. i never accused anything that i didn't provide quotes for (except offering a possibility for righty conservative's confusion). i did nothing to further any rumor, but simply asked your opinion.

while i disagree with your interpretation of the bible, i'll play within your boundaries. what, according to the bible, did jesus say about homosexuality?

and excuse me, but don't jimmy swaggert, roy moore, and fred phelps also claim to be christians, too? maybe you should explain to them the changes brought about by the new covenant.

"When my insurance doesn't cover an entire bill, the bill remains with the office that issued the bill in the first place. In the case of my allergist, they waive any balance."

that's good insurance - i hope you can hang on to it. it's better than mine, and mine is better than most. in my case however, the remainder unpaid by the insurance company is passed on to me. that's what the wasilla policy was set up to do.

"Well...yeah. And Obama co-sponsored a bill that would do exactly that."

maybe you're confused. in 2001, obama cosponsored an amendment to the illinois crime victims compensation act. the amendment made it unlawful to try to collect money from the victim. and in layman's terms, the bill itself was enacted to compensate victims for losses up to $27,000 for out-of-pocket medical expenses, loss of earnings, psychological counseling, and loss of support income due to the crime.

the next time you want to avoid debate, maybe you should say so up front. something like, "hey, this is what i think and i don't care what your opinion is (neither does anyone else) so shut up." at least then you'd only come across as rude and not childish and rude. i certainly had no indication that you and righty were having some sort of private conversation here in this open comment area.

seems like you had no problem engaging until the going got tough. coincidentally that's the same tactic that michele used before she stopped commenting - about the same time that you started.
