1. Too true!!!

K & R!

[icarusxat]

2. the really scary thing...

is not that they don't see how hypocritical they are, but that they do, and are hoping no one else will notice...

[RagAss]

3. A low IQ brain assumes a low IQ world.

[2naSalit]

20. That's why they hate education

so there will be more ignorant voters who will vote for them because they look nice or have fun toys instead of seeing them for what they are.

[BlueEye]

4. I actually just had this argument with a particularly airheaded conservative.

He was telling me how "the people at the bottom of society are there for a reason". Incredulous at this, I was trying to explain to him why millions of Americans are BORN into circumstances that disadvantage them right from the start. And then I asked him why he cares so much about the lives of unborn fetuses in low-income families when he's condemning them for being lazy the moment they're born! He ignored my question... dumbass.

[CBHagman]

6. And yet it's taken as a given that someone well-connected and/or wealthy...

...not only can exploit the advantages he or she was born to but do it without apology.

Worst still is Pat Buchanan, who implied Sonia Sotomayor got where she is via preferential treatment. You'd think she'd be lauded as a woman who overcame adversity, Horatio Alger style, but no.

5. Been watching that conversation in society for years, unfortunately.

[sakabatou]

7. George Carlin nailed it (video)

[jsr]

10. A classic.

[toby jo]

18. Thanks, sakabatou. Chuckling all night.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

8. Yeah, that sums up the Tpubs accurately.

[krispos42]

9. As soon as he's 18, give him a uniform and a rifle.

Till then, they don't care.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Pretty Much.

[idwiyo]

12. unfortunately, there enough of them on the "left" too.

13. Afraid not, that position excludes you from any "left".

You can be an anti-woman Democrat, but that isn't any qualification as "left".

[idwiyo]

14. You correct. I will edit left to "left".

[pitbullgirl1965]

17. You can be a female anti-choice Democrat on DU

and you won't get banned.

[Egalitarian Thug]

21. There are more than a couple of anti-choice male DUers as well.

I know, right?

[pitbullgirl1965]

22. I'm livid.

if they were a homophobe or a racist would they be welcome? I've already complained to admin, they didn't get back to me until I posted a second time.

Ho hum women's rights are so passé.

[idwiyo]

23. That's why I didn't bother to complain.

I saw admin's response to you and it was what I expected.




BTW, if you think for a second there is no openly homophobic bigots on DU, you are greatly mistaken. Do a search for posts about Chelsea Manning.

[pitbullgirl1965]

28. What bullshit.

Seriously. I'm not used to this, because the blogs and sites I follow have zero tolerance for any type of racism, sexism, homophobia, transgender bashing, ableism et. al.

[idwiyo]

31. See, it's a big friggin tent now. Everyone is welcome, as long as they self-identify as "left"...

of Ted Cruz, or something like it. And are "polite" about misogyny, homophobia (do a search on Chelsea Manning, for example), and racism (against them Muslims from Middle East).



Frankly speaking, I will not donate to DU again, and I don't give a fuck if I am banned from a website that caters to force-birthers.

[pitbullgirl1965]

35. Nice! Racism, Sexism, Gay bashing!

I don't see this on the other site I frequent that starts with a D and ends with an S.
Those people are smacked down hard, if not banned.

[Scootaloo]

26. Depends - which race? n/t

[pitbullgirl1965]

30. Racism here too then?

Lovely. As I said to itwibo, below, there is zero tolerance that stuff on the other sites I go to

[Blue Owl]

15. Ha -- nailed it

[ck4829]

16. K&R

[Rex]

19. AND THAT is one reason why they are all flipantly insane.

They did it to themselves with the blind worship of anti-intellectualism and Reagan.

[B Calm]

24. Spot On!

[Jasana]

25. I am getting sick of this "conversation."

It does nothing but waste a woman's time. Democratic guys... do you realize that every second a woman has to waste having this conversation is yet another second she can not help you with some other political venture?

I'm not slamming you for the cartoon Marmar. It is far too accurate. That's why I don't find it funny. This topic now has the ability to enrage me.

[Skinner]

27. So true. (nt)

[Dwayne Hicks]

29. K&R!

[Butterbean]

32. That pretty much sums it up. n/t

[bluestate10]

33. Exactly right. Republicans love poor fetuses and despise poor babies.

Republicans are fucked up.

[Liberal_in_LA]

34. kick
