Re: something that is never mentioned
Sorry, your ten cents, isn't worth a nickel. Honest Pro-life folks see that women who are faced with a crisis pregnancy need the greatest compassion of all. Pro-Choice folks don't realize that she's not offered any choice at all except killing her child. Planned Parenthood doesn't offer (or want to offer) information about adoption options, ...

Re: Yes, just blame sexism
Although not a complete answer, but a definite dynamic in this election is America’s love-hate relationship to sex and the stereo-types that hide in the back of our brains. This can be seen in the Before Palin (B.P.) and After Palin (A.P.) variations of the poles. Although beautiful and handsome, some more so than others, no contender had ...

The Cost Of Reckless Sexual Appetite
The Abortion Cartell is making Billions on plaing their bets between a zipper vs a knife. Now the Cartell prospers in the same fashion as the Bank prospers when one bounces a check. In the end does it really matter if it was by accident or reckless disregard? If an honest mistake, one can call the Bank and pleads one's case for mercy. ...

Hitch On Helms like White on Rice
Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

My Samoan Mother Does Not Need Affirmative Action
An AA surgeon, who got into medical school with lower aptitude, grades, test scores and abilities, should operate on my Samoan mother, even though there are better-qualified physicians! Besides your Native grandmother makes you a bigger victim than me with a Mexican (Aztec) mother, so you need AA more. However, I am especially needy, because my ...

Best exegesis of the Clinton campaign I've ever read...
Thank you for this clever, knowledgeable, and hopeful analysis of the Clinton campaign. As an educated woman, I struggled with my support of Hillary Clinton because of her ambivalent feminism. To my mind, she embodies the gender problem of our age: women are liberated - free to be ''just like men.'' There's a difference between a strong woman ...

How about actually seeing the movie???
The author writes ''Or so I've gleaned from watching a few episodes of the TV show and reading reviews of the film.'' What makes this guy qualified to write this article?? He hasn't even seen the movie or more than a few episodes.... A surprisingly familiar case of an unprepared man being deemed qualified by the media to espouse his point of ...

Seriously? This is a strategy?
How foolish; how unbelievably naive. This simply shows those of us who support Hillary Clinton that the absolute hatred directed toward her is real, simply because she will not drop out of a nose-to-nose race and allow the crowning of a completely unvetted, untested candidate. Yes, you are calling for war alright: but be very careful what you ...

Lead With Bevel's Heroism...
and drop halfway down to the dirty details. This is repugnant journalistic behavior. There is no amount of apology, lauditory comments or hero worship that makes up for his incest - NONE! And for the details to wait until AFTER the praise for Bevel's civil rights work is one more symptom of how men behave when it comes to sexual abuse and ...
