Pelosi: Contraception is Good Stimulus for the Economy

It wasn't necessarily San Franciscans...

It all started with the 99%-white Iowans, remember? It's easy to be swayed by someone who says that race shouldn't be a factor, and then feel betrayed when the moment he's elected, that's all you hear on the Liberal news: "The U.S.' first BLACK President!!!!"

Feel like you were hoodwinked yet?

He TRULY cares about you? Then I wonder what would happen if he didn't? Open visas for psychotic jihaddist? We're pretty close.

He showed he cares more about what the Europeans and Middle Easterners think by giving his first interview to an Islamic news channel.

What planet are you on Pethokoukis?

Uh, James...is the planet suddenly suffering from a population decline that we didn't know about?

Fertility is suddenly a problem in the US when now we have sextuplits (and now octuplits) reported on every day?

There goes population control outside the window.

Your argument that unwanted children pay into the social security fund is stupid, ad so is your sanctimonious and self-righteous drivel.

I know! We can build low-income housing for all these unwanted births across the street from your home! Yay!

Pelosi: Contraception is good economic stimulus

Pelosi is nothing more than a political hack more interested in leftist special interest groups.

Nancy Pelosi

How terrifying! How dare she speak these words, it shows the contempt that she really has for the great unwashed masses that she claims to represent. What is next, taxpayer funded abortion on demand, at any point in the term of the pregnancy, based on annual income!!

Where would Barack Obama be if is unwed mother, who became pregnant with a fellow student who was a black man from Africa had subscribed to the current theory of death to unplanned children. It really is a strange world!!

The same people railing against abortion and family planning are the same people who do not want their tax dollars going to social programs to support these children who are born into unfortunate circumstances. Make up your mind. If you do not support a woman's right to choose, then you should be the first to pony up the money to help raise these children.

More people equals more debt and NOT a higher GDP. Period.

"Population growth is a major source of economic growth: more people create more demand for the products capitalists sell, and more supply of the labor capitalists buy."

Almost Phil, almost. This should make sense but remember the average American is holding something like $8K in credit card debt alone. Not to mention other debt as well. Bottom line: more people equal more debt.

Not until this country learns to actually PAY for what it buys will we see that more people are equal to more GDP. We are living proof of this right now. Welcome to the future.

Contraception and Stimulus package

Please tell me this is a joke. I'm in favor of a stimulus package. I admit to being rather liberal (more moderate than liberal, but liberal tendencies nevertheless). But contraceptives as part of this is clearly inappropriate. It really hurts the credibility of the stimulus package concept.

Return to form

The reason why I can no longer call myself a progressive or liberal which I considered myself with pride is because I began to study history. Socialism always ends the same way, and always begins the same way. Mass death, I would encourage people to look into Margret Sanger the founder of planned parenthood ---> "The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."

The answer to poverty was and still is, to kill the poor, for starters. Malthus was wrong, and still is- populations are not exploding they are moving mostly because people are being forced off their land and taxed into the stoneage. National Socialism eliminated 11 million poor unfortunates. I am from chicago, I am african american, and i am trying to warn people that this is all a fraud, obama and his new green religion will make the popes look like kindergardeners and if you oppose it you will be crushed.

there is a movie called "endgame" it may help explain what I am trying to say. There are no democrats, there are no republicans, its a dialectic we are being conned, if we are lucky we will get one child policies, that came down from the UN.

Thesis --------------><---- Anthisis [Synthesis]

{conservatives --><---liberals}

(new system/new thesis|conservative) Plato's cave remains

Blago is nothing, he runs nothing, he is a diversion, he is trivia, we are not a democracy [mob rule] we are a democracy [rule by law] get the federalist papers, look up codex alimentarius which will take all the nutrition out of our food, we are in very bad shape, i live on the south side, this man used our city, our community to give him a history just like conneticut born bush did to texas.

This is only the beginning.
