  • Vindication? Nope, pontification

    Passion is not in the least bit inconsonant with genuine feminism. Studies and, better yet, women themselves, will say in fact that power and accomplishment and bumped-up self-esteem combine to create a very flammable fuel for eros. I posit that the writer, Cristina Nehring, is confusing the agitated symptoms of low self-regard (drug use, ...

  • Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

    I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

  • WOMEN DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE ON MCCAIN

    As a liberal white woman, a feminist since the ‘60’s, and a grandmother, there are things I deeply resent about Sarah Palin’s candidacy and the way the Republicans are representing Gov Palin, the radical religious right, and the Republican Party as a force for the progress of women: * All of a sudden, Republicans and the radical ...

  • The Spite Vote

    I enjoyed your article and found many points you made to be right on the money. In particular, I find the attitude of disgruntled Clinton supporters who say they won't vote for Obama to be ridiculous and thick with irony. Their displaced anger and willingness to cut off their nose to spite their face in the name of battling sexism is laughable. ...

  • How can murder be "moral"?

    I don't understand where there is ''morality'' in abortion. Even if you can somehow muster up an excuse for the murder of the unborn, but where is the morality here? I can never understand why this is called ''a mothers right to choose'' - who has a right to choose someone ELSE'S life? That the baby is safely within the mother's womb gives the ...

  • Obama's Nobel Prize-McCain Stole the Election

    Isn’t interesting how all the major TV and cable networks (except balanced FOX), along with all of Hollywood (except Chuck Norris), the entire music industry (except country) all of academia (except economists) and all European Nations (including Canada ;-) are pushing for Obama and the polls are still close?! The Communist News Network (CNN) and ...

  • Hostage

    Is Sen. Obama going to be held hostage by the HRC and her supporters because she lost the race fair and square? - without all that convoluted math about her winning the most popular votes - I am still scratching my head over that ploy and how anyone would fall for that. I am a 59 year old white female accountant and I could just never get into ...
