I live in California where this woman resides and even as a liberal person I am appalled at what she has done to capitalize on the birth of these children and the others 6 she already had. I think her Dr should be brought up on charges. I would like to know where she got the money for all these in vitro procedures that are very expensive let alone the plastic surgery she has obviously had when she has not had a job in who knows how long. She has made money off disability for a back problem but has still managed to carry these and at least 5 other pregnancies to term (she has a set of twins as well) when pregnancy only exacerbates back troubles. I am a nurse and have seen how much it costs to keep a preemie baby in the neonatal care unit. I can't imagine how much it will cost for 8 babies that will no doubt have medical problems due to their prematurity and multibility. This was a careless act by her and her doctor and I find it disgusting that she is now begging for money and publicity. The taxpapers of California will end up footing the bill for her brood and she will get a multi million dollar book deal and reality TV show, no doubt.

I certainly hope and believe our time will come. Who would have thought even 30 years ago that someone like Obama could win the Presidency. I am hopeful that this generation will toss away hatred and bigotry and learn to value our common humanity. That's really all we got going for us. As a woman, I have seen so many changes in my lifetime regarding the equal rights and equal treatment of women. My grandmother could remember when women could not vote. It's amazing what we have accomplished in just a couple of hundred years. How can anyone want to slow down progress when they have seen what America has done in such a short time?

Oh, please recite them! I want to know! I want to know what Michael Newdow has done to you personally that you would not only judge him but anyone else who holds a similar belief system. What "hateful" things has he tried to do? Ask for fair treatment under the Constitution? How dare he! I am sure any "true" Christian would be appalled by your bigotry and your prejudice toward others. I am thankful that I do not clump all Christians in the same category as you do with people. You are truly unbelievable with the things you say. Like it or not, Michael Newdow is a fellow American just by the fact that he was born and lives in this country. You're going to find a lot of people in your life that you don't agree with. That does not make them less American. How dare you even call yourself a Christian with the kind of behavior you exhibit.

Is this same religion giving the guidance to come on here and insult others and belittle their opinions? Organized religion as a whole is so intolerant. The laws of humanity provide all the guidance anyone needs to live a good life. Honesty, integrity, respect for oneself and of others and to try and leave the world better than you found it. Believing that the Christian god is master of the universe doesn't make you worldly either. It only makes you narrow minded.

I haven't listened to Rush lately so I haven't heard that one. I do live in Rio Linda though. (his favorite place in Sacramento to hurl insults at the people who live there)

Why is it so difficult for you to accept that two very different people can hold the same world view? Out of 200+ million people in this country why would that be such a coincidence? I think you sound a lot like Patriot and Lincoln Logger and a few other anonymous "guests" that post. That doesn't necessarily mean you are one and the same. You want some differences? We are not the same gender, the same age and we live on opposite sides of the country. I studied medicine and he studied law. I also used to be a right winger. I do not believe I am smug at all. Funny that you don't see that in yourself. I think it's pretty smug of you to decide who is who on this blog.

If you already knew all of it then why are you arguing that Christmas is exclusively a Christian holiday. Obviously you alreay know it's not. What are the inaccuracies? You always come here and make statements but say nothing to back them up.
-
What is this obsession with KoolAid? You always sound like you've had too much Wild Turkey. I don't get it.

Good riddance. I am ashamed to admit I voted for him once. Glad those dark days are over. For me and for America
-
But 80% (by your own estimation) can believe in an imaginary friend in the sky and a few of you even know how to hurl insults that sound incredibly alike but no one finds this coincidential? Go figure!

Why you would think it is your right to surmise why I am here and then go on to presume why I am divorced is just the kind of unbelievable arrogance and judgemental attitude that you and a few of your "minions" display every time you post here. Your lack of respect for anyone to have an opinion that does not comply with yours or who agrees with someone else you have decided to dislike just shows again and again that you are not here to engage in conversation or even debate but rather just to try and put people on the defensive. I feel I have more of a right to be here than you whether I am from Kearny or not because I come here wanting to engage in discussion and do my best to be civil and treat others with the decency they deserve as human beings. If you must know, my ex was someone very much like yourself. I left him. I like how you assume that it was the other way around. Typical. I learned about the family court system through unfortunate sets of circumstances. I have never studied law except on my own tme which is my right as a free American, just like it's my right to be on the computer any time I please without consent from my ex-husband,or you. Thank you, however, for proving my theory that we did originate from pond scum. Some of us still have yet to evolve.

Okay Patriot. I am going to attempt to educate your sorry ass-not that it is possible to do so. Christmas and so many other things in our popular culture have their roots in paganism. The church never thought of Christ's birth as any reason to have a holiday endorsed with it until they realized it could be used to counter act the other celebrations that were occuring at this time period. ie: Winter Soltice, Saturnalia, birth of the Persian god Mithra (who happened to be born of a virgin on Dec 25th-coincidence? Probably not) The church did not even know when Jesus was even born, and the likelihood that he was born in Winter is highly debated (shepherds in the field, Roman Census, etc) Many churches codemned the celebration of Christmas and some religions even outlawed it. Our German settlers brought with them many of their customs and when Queen Victoria married a German in England, Christmas went through a reform and became a holiday associated with family and friends, good food and drink and reminicing about the year. Food was often scarce and neighbors pulled together their feast and drank and danced to keep warm. With the popularity of Christmas and any excuse for a party or holiday we Americans seem to have in our popular culture, the church has used this as a marketing campaign to sell Christianity. I love Christmas and I am a Humanist. Anything that makes us a more giving, compassionate and kinder species is something I can endorse regardless of the origins. Christmas is actually a pagan holiday. The Christian church hijacked it, slapped it's own label on it and now is upset because "ungodly" people have decided to reclaim it. The church is willing to adopt any ideaology if it can be used to further their agenda. Face it.

We are all American, like it or not. Anyone who thinks the thoughts you do is beyond creepy.

I have more faith in Aventis than in Fox News
