Get it right, Jacob, on LGBT issues
''...he endorses gay equality but not in marriage or the military'' Wrong, Jacob: Obama made it clear from day one he was against Don't Ask/Tell/Pursue. Though many in the LGBT community now accuse him and Secretary Gates of dragging their feet on this, it is flat wrong to say he is against LGBT equality in the military. As for marriage ...

Max Factor
That's how I mis-read XX Factor, from a distance. It's pretty funny! I can't get this site to work, to read only the comments on XX Factor's post regarding, 'don't confuse or dilute feminism with natalism.' Too true. I have any number of posts on my own blog, the white lily blog at wordpress, that ought to have a warning, don't confuse ...

Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake
Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

Auto Haters: Fat, Mean & Undermining Green
Economist David Gordon wrote in his book Fat and Mean, “In the 1980s, by common measures, the proportion of managerial and administrative employment was more than three times as high in the United States as in Germany and Japan.” He also wrote that the US has a higher percentage of supervisors than Germany, Sweden, and Japan ...

McCain & Pay Equity
Sorry, but McCain gets no pass on pay equity merely because he pays his senior staff more. First, regarding his own staff, one can assume they've been with him for much longer -- getting yearly raises -- than Obama's staff, hence the difference. More important, this makes it worse, not better, that he will not stand up for equal pay, with the ...

RE: definition of "equality"
Equality (noun): the state of being equal, esp. in status, rights, and opportunities The article you wrote titled ''Vetting Vet'' was, in a word, ''unequal,'' unbalanced and extremely biased. The first paragraph in particular was an extraordinarily low-blow. ''As details come to light about Sarah Palin's connection to the Alaska Independence ...

women who lead vs. women who gain power through marriage
P.S. Palin is not only against abortion, she is also against the use of contraceptives like birth-control pills, IUDs, depo, female diaphragms. All methods that have given women the freedom to work in male-dominated fields and plan for their pregnancies based on their income, family situation, and ability to stay-home with their children as ...

abortion of female fetus SAME as forcing to cont. pregrancy
Feminism is about pushing societies and governments to treat women as equally as they do men. Palin's anti-equal pay for equal work is not fair. Communist countries like China who control women's reproductive rights are EXACTLY what the Pro-life activities want for American Women-for the government to control their uterus and ovaries. Instead ...

Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..
... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...
