Three TRILLION so far spent on the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention thousands of US service people killed and 10’s of thousands injured (and 100’s of thousands of Iraqis & Afghanis). How much is the war on women going to cost (it’s already cost trillions over the centuries not to mention human misery)? How much have the shrub tax cuts for the megarich and the corporations cost? More trillions?

War on Women? Really? This is 2012, not 1912. Sheesh.

Every year we endure 4 months of Christmas music on half the radio stations and have displays in all of the stores just so the rethugs can whine that we have a war on Christmas and won’t let them celebrate it.

The rest of the world sees it as illegal. We should have gone thru the UN playing by international law. The “WMD” in Iraq was a lie. sodomy hussein being “hitler” was a lie. Yes he was bad but he was our client until he was no longer useful to the US which is to say he got in the way of profits for the oil corporations. The poison gas he used to kill 1000’s of Kurds was supplied by the USA. I could go on but I don’t have time.

If Obama had a war on religious then both muslims, jews, hindus and so on would be able to feel it too. If he has any war at all it would be against the Catholics, and they seem to fight back plenty enough to make it fair.

Our “freedom of religion” was enshrined in the constitution because settlers were fleeing the twisted and tyrannical forms of religion in Europe. They wanted to decide for themselves what was right.
Unfortunately, religion in this country has become just as twisted and tyrannical as it was in Europe, and there is nowhere left to flee from the Pope and other filthy hypocritical sons of hell.

Show me where in the U.S. Constitution we are required to obtain the permission of the U.N. for Congress to declare war.

Yes, forcing women to have a vaginal probe before an abortion, which is medically unnecessary. Restricting access to birth control.

The only war on the Constitution is the one they are waging on Article Six, and they also want to remove that “no state religion” intent of the First Amendment. They want THEOCRACY, NOT “democracy”.

Depends what the definition of “war” is. The repiglicans like to use the terms “class war” and “war on religion.”
Bombing clinics, murdering doctors and pushing through all kinds of regulations designed to harass and obstruct women who are seek safe legal birth control and abortion are what I call a “war on women.” And now the religious right wants employers to be able to impose their beliefs on their employees.
Just wait till muslim employers start doing that and see what the repiglicans say.

Rob Rogers is obviously an unmitigated anti-GOP cartoonist.
He is misrepresenting GOP positions on issues. I vote for many Republicans because of issues but I’m not a GOP member…..I am PRO unborn babies, PRO legal immigration, PRO opportunity for the “poor” to become “rich” and being a woman I am for rights that are decent and biblical, and PRO-first amendment rights for Christian individuals and oganizations…….but Rogers would put me in his condemnation of the GOP positions. Of course we are all PRO-replacement of Obama who has done more to harm our way of governing than any previous Oval Office occupier.
