All of them.

I think it's dreadful that women are criticised for working - that's what happens in pretty much every Western country. And if the majority of women work, then it should be accepted that they can work in politics. You can bet that even Kinder Kuche Kirche affliates these days have some female employees with children. Why? Because young mothers work for cheap.
I agree, so why attack Palin in the first place?

Quote:

If a party takes a stand on mothers in the home (risky even in right-wing America, surely?) then they cannot criticise working mothers. And if parents of both genders are necessary for a healthy upbringing, how can they support male career politicians who see their children about as often as a divorced Dad? Is he there at breakfast? Home to bath them? There all weekend?
I agree 100%.

Quote:

Politicians are all mouth and no trousers. They try to enforce morals on us that they don't live by themselves (ditto journalists). Don't be fooled, people.
I agree 100%.

Nope.

I'm just not impressed with self-proclaimed uber patriots who believe that they care more about the country than others who might have a different outlook on what is best for the country.

But hey, wave the flag and shout out that you're a real American and others here are not!

And I'm just not impressed with self-proclaimed uber Demoncrats who believe that they care more about the country than others who might have a different outlook on what is best for the country and want to jam changes down the throat of the public while they tax and spend like whores.

I dont speak for anyone else, but please point to any post of mine where I proclaimed that I care more about the country than others here.

Thank you in advance. :)

And perhaps explain at the same time your self-proclaimed non-partisanship when you post more partisan opinions/articles than all others here combined..and when the "facts" (sic) in those opinions/articles are challenged, typically respond by calling others partisan.

Sounds like a double-standard to me, which I thought you oppose. :confused:

I am starting a Redux Fan Club. Who else is in?

It is not so much your thought that you and your party care more than anyone else but that you think you know what is best for our country.;)

When I have I said I know what's best? You're right, I offer my opinion on what I think are the best policies for the country.

And when I have I attacked the patriotism of others or said that I "care more about the country" than those who disagree with me?

Now you are completely misquoting me. Cut the crap. I never said I was a self proclaimed patriot, never said I care more than anyone else, Never said anything about waving the flag and shouting. And most importantly I never said anything about anyone here being less of an American than I.

You're being overtly sensitive there. Everything ok?

Trilby 12-10-2009 08:00 AM

Zengum, Dana, Sundae, and Ali are LESS American than you are. There. I said it.

classicman 12-10-2009 08:03 AM

Haggis - Thank you Bri. I bet you're gonna pick on Limey next huh?

I calls em like I sees em:
Actually I am pro America. Thats where I split ways with many people. Their first allegiance is to a party, many times without even realizing it. I don't give a flying fork what party someone is with. I care about this nation. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
Putting our Brit friends to the side :).....who among the dwellers involved in these discussions are not pro America?
