(Here's a slightly improved version.)

The stupidity of the "they want someone else to pay for their contraception" argument.

Apparently, "material support for a terrorist group" is not a crime if you're powerful enough (and not a Muslim), e.g., "Rudy Giuliani, Howard Dean, Michael Mukasey, Ed Rendell, Andy Card, Lee Hamilton, Tom Ridge, Bill Richardson, Wesley Clark, Michael Hayden, John Bolton, Louis Freeh — and Fran Townsend."
