Their paycheck... that they get from tax payer money.

The same of which could be said for teachers, firefighters, police officers, etc. It isn't tax payer money once it goes into their paycheck, it's their money.

Try telling hat to cons.

This all reminds me of a congressman who wanted to get porn removed from AAFES (Army-Air Force Exchange system; basically the retail stores on Army and Air Force bases).  His reasoning was that tax payers pay our salaries, so it shouldn't be going for things like pornography.

Yet he never suggested tax payers determine what his salary went for...

This logic is a slippery slope.

My money goes to the paycheck of every service and industry I give money to. Ergo, I can tell them what to do with said money? Eh, no.

The army provides it's service of protection. I could care less if s/he/they/whateverdude needs a skin mag to blow off some steam.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

BUT THAT'S NOT GOD'S PLAN FOR THE ARMY!

Ironbite-seriously, that's their logic.

Wouldn’t it cost society more money to deal with all the unwanted babies than it would to help makes sure there aren’t so many in the first place?

Isn't it funny that Ron Paul is in the party of Lincoln?

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

I think they should only be able to claim status of “The Party of Lincoln” if their platform is identical to the Republican platform of 1860.

Anti-slavery is still a legitimate issue. Slavery rings still circle the globe. Not that most Americans give two shits.

True that.  Also the only one who has not made any outright racist statements is Romney.

It is not as severe as 1863 South Carolina. At least slaves do not make up a majority of a huge country's population.

Shouldn't Lincoln be facepalming?  Or grabbing each in turn and eating them?

Not if you just ignore the problem and let them die.
