Why do I read stupid "women's" magazines, like Glamour and Cosmo? So you don't have to. I tell you what your wives, girlfriends, and maybe even (if you are a woman) you are reading.
The February (Valentine's Day) issue is most interesting. In addition to featuring a picture of Mary Cheney and her "partner" and gushing over how cool it is that they appeared together at an official White House Dinner, Glamour gives us "Rescue Me!--Your Most Intimate Problems, Solved: Big Worries, Little Worries, Weird Worries." And guess what February's lead "worry" is?:
Q: I recently reconnected with a childhood friend and it turns out she's very politically conservative. (I'm definitely not!) Is our friendship doomed?
Here's Glamour's answer, courtesy of advice columnist Irma Kurtz:
A: Not necessarily, assuming this woman hasn't mentioned things that you found deeply offensive or upsetting. . . . Think "friendship lite" . . . .
So there you have it: Being a conservative woman is an "intimate problem" according to chick-mag Glamour. Remember that the next time a chick you know plunks down the three or four bucks for this trash.

Don't worry. After a few weeks of listening to the liberal one whine about "BushLiedPeopleDied", the conservative friend will be gone.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Er... I think you're taking this the wrong way. To me it sounds like the magazine was just answering a general question about dealing with large political differences between friends, not stating an explicit view of their own.
I personally recommend liberal women for sowing oats and exercising unspeakable demons. Then find a nice girl that you can respect and trust. Maybe it's just me.

True statement. But even the girl I marry has to have a least a little of a "bad" side. But only with me. ;-)
Diverty training is just a PC phrase for socialist re-education center.
There is no tolerance for diversity from liberals. We think libs are crazy and brainwashed but not without potential for redemption. Libs think we are selfish meanies. Better than being deliberately evil or a well-meaning red dupe any day.
And to libs who think we are mean, there is no charity in forced contributions to the tax man. What you do when "no one" is looking matters too.
I suspect that all the attractive conservative women are already married to likable conservative guys while I missed the boat being busy with personal survival and such during the hookup years. Now I'm the uncomfortable friend who doesn't have female accompaniment. It's worse having gone past "I wonder how she kisses" to "I wonder what her scam is to screw me over". Accumulated paranoia is so unromantic.
I'm inspired by Clint Eastwood's "Gunny Highway" character in "Heartbreak Ridge". He stooped to reading women's magazines for insight and tried very hard to heed their advice, but ultimately found them wrong because all those articles are written by one gender. What works can not be transliterated into the written word - it's hardwired within us.

Lovelessness isn't my problem - I've attained peace with myself after much turbulence and misfortune (see my About page). I fear that our society is suffering a breakdown where the increasing mistrust between career-driven Americans is contributing to our overall decline. Those who do marry definitely utilize modern methods to limit reproduction.
But hey, those illegal non-citizens are doing their best to shore up the shortage! For a supposedly strong Catholic base they have an astonishing rate of unfathered births. That doesn't resemble the Catholicism I was raised in ("All bastards will burn in Hell along with those that spawned them!").
LOL! "Ooh ooh, Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter! Ooh! ooh!"
I'm a guy and get my hair chopped every 2-3 months, when I want to. I look at these mags in the trough and just know that they don't relate to women I come in contact with or work with. They are just a bundle of advertisements for various forms of cosmetics and photographers that take pictures of women using those items. With words interspaced between them. Bland to me.
I think my chances of finding a good, fun, single conservative female in Akron, Ohio are about equal to my chances of looking out my front window tomorrow and seeing a beach and palm trees.
Tone it down, man. Chicks don't dig guys that are too eager....lol...
laura Ingraham is not single. Sorry.
I'm still having an "intimate problem" finding a conservative woman. Every one I meet is either a Jesus freak or a white-bread Muffy type.

You will end up with red-haired wacko biker babe like that. Try to shimmy up to the one you would like to meet and QUIETLY say something nice to her to get her attention. You have 3 seconds. She knows you are there.
Well, what do I know...
I hear ya, bro.
I usually end up with blond, wacko liberal chicks...so I'm not doing something right, either...
Conservative women are the only real women.
All the others are just fluff.
This thread has the potential to devolve into something interesting. I'm patiently waiting...
Hope springs eternal.
Some where is a very conservative gal that has been sitting home disgusted because all the men she meets just want to hook up.
Me too...but it's getting to be "that time" of the night where FR dies quickly...
I missed something. Did she get back with the guy she was with before she had her health problem? I know the guy broke it off so she could concentrate on getting well.
I hadn't heard anything. I'll ask her tonight when she stops over...
Well, at least they're not talking about:
A)Feelings
B)Sexuality in religious terms
C)Brokeback Mountain
The only pro-Bush, conservative woman I ever dated was from Iran!
Never date women from countries that begin with the letter "I"
I'll tell you what...I have seen some smokin' HOT Iranian chicks.
If it didn't, then I am in error and I am the one to apologize. Perhaps because of all the cancer stuff she put that on hold, then? Really haven't had opportunity to listen to her show for months.
That reminds me of the episode where George Costanza put a personal ad in the Worker's World.
Ireland? Indonesia? Iceland?
Try not to look so desperate. That WILL get you in trouble, or shunned!! (BTW-- GREAT cartoons, today.)
Wasnt Laura Ingraham engaged? Her fiance broke up with her when she got sick?? Anyone know the full story?
Not that kind. What you want is a NORMAL woman that makes you feel warm and comfortable when you are together. You don't need to wonder if your loved one broke her body and/or her bike while you sleep with one eye open before going to work in the morning. Trust me here. You can't tame that species of red head. And I was 6 years active duty!
Just one of those random rules. Sometimes it's true and sometimes it isn't...
Q: I'm a conservative and I just discovered my friend is a liberal. Does our friendship have a future?
A: It depends. Are you willing to open your mind to enlightened ideas and learn from your liberal friend and change your ways? If not, then you are not the type of person who deserves friendship.
Thank you.
I really was not trying to get a date with that post, just trying to be funny. It's what I do (not always successfully).
