This is not okay.

First off, the new mandate isn't sexist by any stretch. It enhances religious freedom by not forcing employers with religious objections to pay for birth control. As a Catholic, I would most definitely agree with this.

By 'enhancing religious freedom' you are directly enhancing the ability of those religious people to use it to discriminate against others. Opposing birth control is beyond moronic and costs many lives globally.

Scott Pruitt: F#ck the Planet
Jeff Sessions: F#ck Law & Order
Betsy Devos: F#ck Education
Sarah Huckabee Sanders: F#ck the Truth

General John Kelly: F#ck My Life
Rex Tillerson: "...he is a F#cking Moron"
Ryan Zinke: F#ck national parks and monuments, indigenous peoples

Steve Mnuchin: F#ck the budget I’m flying private
McMasters: F#ck his tweets he’s gonna get us killed
Donald Trump: F#ck America, I'm headed to the golf course (69 days so far)
GOP: CRICKETS..

Trump’s presence in our national life has been alternately infuriating, embarrassing, revolting, gross, bizarre and exhausting.

Vladimir Putin: F#cking Fantastic!

So this is just the low end, is it?

If you had higher end expectations, it just makes the original calculation all the more hard to fathom.

Positioning that as me trying to normalize it is basically looking for a fight.

C'mon, when you rationalize ad hominem insults as your "style of posting" you don't get to accuse other people of looking for a fight. Have a little self-awareness and perspective.

I didn't rationalize as hominem anything stop putting your words in my mouth. What I said was I post with heavy sarcasm and I poke people. Most people here have the maturity to deal with it and take it for it is. You don't seem to be one of them, yet.

So I will ask you again - what have you contributed to the conversation? Is this how you converse?
Have you stated a single clear cut position of your own? Ok, I guess you said you think Trump is worse than every other candidate that ran for office. Go ahead and back it up.

No. No private business should be forced to provide a service to someone if it goes against their religious values. You wouldn't ask a jewish buisness to give out totem poles to nazi's and white supremacists.

This isn't an opposition to birth control. If you want to get birth control, just get it at your pharmacy.

How does birth control cost lives exactly? If anything it saves lives depending on what constitutes "life" to you.

Does expression of religious freedom come with a blank check? Can you discriminate indiscriminately so long as you find some passage in a religious text that can be interpreted as justifying it?

Oh stop it. You attacked the republicans and labelled them as sexists, homophobes and basically any other bigot name possible. That has absolutely zero basis in reality and I frankly find it offensive. If you disagree with their policies thats one thing, but there is no need for that kind of labbelling.

It wasn't an attack. They were factorial.

If you care to rebut ANY of the things listed, please, make my day.

Well then let me help you fathom it.
On the higher end of negative possibilities I think there is a real possibility that Trump will get us into was with N. Korea
On the higher end of negative possibilities I think there was a real possibility that Hillary would engage in proxy war with Russia over Syria.

And no I am not going to choose which war I like better. I guess you have made it clear you prefer millions of dead syrians over millions of dead Koreans, assuming you acknowledge both possibilities.

Is the last question a serious, "mature" one or is this poking sarcasm again?

Don't listen to me. Listen to Republican Bob Corker

Look at the effect on the Pope's anti birth control agenda in africa, he hampered efforts to tackle the spread of HIV
