More Adventures in Missing the Point

Case No. 4: Sad Loud Man in a Small Room Rush Limbaugh The Recap: “Slut,” “prostitute,” “she wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex,” “we want you to post the videos online so we can all watch,” etc.What We Learned: Taxpayers are billed across the board for private insurance plans; women who use birth control pills are not taxpayers; women whose insurance covers birth control pills are sluts and prostitutes; taxpayers enjoy watching movies about sluts and prostitutes.So, Are Women People? They’re more like really expensive blow-up dolls.

Um, Ms. Winter?  It’s not about birth control, it is about religious freedom.  As with so many others, she ignore the elephant in the room.  Further on in the article she goes after Rick Santorum for calling his wife ‘his rock.’  In Ms. Winter’s world this is some kind of derogatory accusation.

Um, Ms. Winter?  Where I come from, being called someone’s ‘rock,’ is not ‘apparently a compliment,’ it is a compliment.  In fact, Scripture is replete with references to God being Israel’s ‘rock.’  Isn’t it possible that Mr. Santorum was actually praising his wife?  Maybe, just maybe, he was telling the world that she is a source of strength to him.
