The old boy still has it! I almost wish I had another opportunity to vote for him. He did a great job outlining what a virulent cabal of saboteurs the GOP have been without sounding bitter about it.
Rebuild America! Elect Barack Obama!

Feminists Are the Majority (Answeting My Original Post)
This is a response to my reply to a story that is here.
So what you're saying is that men are incapable of thinking for themselves and just let themselves get caught up in a tide of personal convenience. Thanks. As a leftwing white male, I really appreciate that bit of condescension.
The fact of the matter is that with wages being stagnant for the better part of two decades, men are not doing that well and fewer and fewer can support a family on just one income. Yeah, that is due to GOP policies, but the fact is also that feminists have demonized men while white men are also demonized by the party's black caucus. And since the Democratic Party has essentially become a woman's party, working class white males have increasingly abandoned our party because they are feeling less and less welcome.
It is thus up to not only the party leadership, but to the feminist and ethnic coalitions in the party to initiate a rapproachment with white working class males and address their concerns, their feelings and concretely demonstrate that they are indeed welcome and cherished within the party.

Feminists Are the Majority
Story is here.
Nothing like a little sexual parochialism, huh? The fact remains that feminists are often as sexist as men are and are too willing to tolerate unfeminist concepts such as alimony and using procreation as a financial tool to name but two.
The ne plus ultra of feminism, at least as I originally understood it, was true equality between the sexes where both men and women have equal chance at attaining their dreams while ushering in a new era of honesty. Unfortunately, what we have now is women having it both ways while men are confined to the stereotypical roles we have always had imposed on us by American culture and we also bear the overwhelming financial burden in divorce settlements.
This has resulted in men flocking to the GOP because the political correctness and this feminist hypocrisy is so imbued in the Democratic Party that males, especially whjte males, feel like they are under siege and being scammed. They are tired of the non-stop guilt trips laid on them and the often condescending way women now look at them. NOW is largely regarded as an enemy of men, as It has gone from addressing justified female grievances into an ethos of near feminist supremacy.
You have to realize that you have created problems for the progressive movement by being so navel gazing and, at times, callous. The next goal of the women's movement should be reaching mutual understanding, not perpetuating the scams we are now afflicted with.

Immigration: Too Hot for DNC?
Story is here.
I'm a Democrat, but my party has been totally gutless on this issue because, in this case, they care more about playing to the hispanic bloc rather than what is good for this country.
However, the GOP, because it masturbates to the thought of cheap labor on the one hand and on the other is hoping that the basically conservative leanings of hispanic culture can favor them with the uttering of the right buzzwords, aren't going to campaign on solving it, either.
With the Republicans having nothing to lose as things stand right now they are going to get slaughtered in November anyway, might as well go on a jihad against illegal immigration, which would be popular not only with suburban voters, but even among some hispanics (I have worked with second and third generation hispanics who use the "w" word for illegals themselves) and some liberals. Believe me, the could tighten some of those races up in a jiffy with this. Won't happen, though.

Toby Keith Praises Obama, Says He's A Democrat
Story is here.
This smells of a public relations move by Keith. I mean, him talking abut foreign policy is a bad joke.
Nevertheless, this McCarthyite jihad that Max Blumenthal has been waging against Keith has been unfair and further injures the credibility of anyone rightfully making racism charges.I hope this statement, as soup thin as it is, helps to quell some of the absurd invective hurled Keith's way recently.
Yeah, he's a cretin, but he is not a racist.
