Family booted over T-shirts

Family booted over T-shirts

I had honestly hoped that when I read this second hand, that I would find out that it was not true. But, as continually seems to be the trend, it just keeps getting worse.

People wearing "This is what a feminist looks like" T-shirts are not necessarily Un-Republican. After all, W stands for Women, right?

Not if you are a woman who wants to work outside the home, or if you do work outside the home and rely heaviliy on overtime or if you are a woman who has sex and doesn't want a child right now, or if you are a woman who wants her kids to grow up in a clean environment. I don't really "get" why W thinks he stands for women, but then again the women he's been around aren't really like most other women. Take Barbara, the "Let Them Eat Cake" matriarch for one example. And Laura has that blank reptilian stare of a woman who long ago decided it just wasn't worth it to argue with her husband or his cronies, despite her pro-choice leanings.

Poor Laura . . . and Barbara . . . and really, even, poor George Sr. who was pro-choice until he got involved with the Reagan administration. It just goes to show that intelligent people can't hold a hard and fast position on an issue as complex as abortion, so they believe it should be kept out of the Federal Government's hands. Okay. This, of course, leads to that irritating argument that all intellectuals are wafflers, flip-floppers, etcs, all those names that come from people who see in black and white and are directed toward people who understand the concept of gray area.

KE in 2004. Vote like your life depends on it.

nice... very nice.

I just hope that you guys over there can stand and deliver on putting ol' dubya where he belongs...

Our PM doesn't have a backbone and follows dubya on every decision. It's very scary...

Scary indeed. Maybe I'll move down under if he somehow gets elected again, just to maximize the geographic distance between myself and Dubya, his policies and (most scary) his voters . . .
