Sarkozy On Iran: “The Situation Is Never Military”

French President Nicolas Sarkozy says we shouldn’t be talking about a military strike against Iran.

He says Israel is a “miracle” and that “France will not compromise on its security.” At the same time, he added, “The solution is never military.”

Sarkozy also says it is “unacceptable” for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons as the international community fears it aims to do — despite Tehran’s denials.

Santorum Claims Obama Wants Female Catholic Priests

Claiming the president is “hostile to religion,” Rick Santorum imagines Obama wants female priests in the Catholic Church.

What they’ve done here is a direct assault on the First Amendment, not only a direct assault on the freedom of religion, by forcing people specifically to do things that are against their religious teachings. . . . This is a president who, just recently, in this Hosanna-Tabor case was basically making the argument that Catholics had to, you know, maybe even had to go so far as to hire women priests to comply with employment discrimination issues. This is a …

Stemberg, a longtime supporter of Republican policies and candidates like Mitt Romney, complained recently that President Obama’s health care reform law hurts businesses by requiring them to provide what he dubbed “lactation chambers” for new moms who need to breastfeed at work…

Stemberg was presumably referring to provisions in the Affordable Care Act that require employers to give lactating mothers “reasonable break time” to nurse their child, as well as “a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion …
