You know, I've been a member of FR since before the 2000 election. I have not always agreed with the posts of the male-dominated membership in FR, but I have appreciated the positions of each and every one of you. But it has become very clear to me during this 2004 campaign why many women cannot embrace the conservative and/or Republican agenda. I have been since Nixon, and will remain one despite the predominance of the sexist condescension of a large group of Republican men. So let's get down to the bare bones of the situation, okay? And I really couldn't care less about the flames and insults that the lower domination of the FR membership will inflict on me for this little tirade of mine. There are so, so many women just like me who fervently believe in the ideals of the Republican and George W. Bush. We may recognize the lack of a female perspective in some issues, but we grasp the overall concept and recognize it as our own core values. We have basically learned to pick our battles. We share the views of conservative men in regards to our need for a superior military defense, a belief in the need for personal accountability and responsibility, a eff-you attitude towards our former French and Canadian and other similar so-called "allies," a need to defy the wimpy attitudes of those utopian countries who are in total denial about the condition of the world today and the necessarily severe actions necessary to ensure the survival of a righteous and moral world. We're out here, guys, and we feel just as strongly about these values as you do even if we don't feel the need to express them with your chest-beating and neverending pissing contests.
So in the midst of your extemely intelligent, compassionat idealogy, the less evolved of you start spouting your sexist and primate idealogy that becomes such a total turn-off to so many women who believe in your core values. Why do most women vote liberal? Because so many men are so busy being macho that they refus to embrace a woman's perspective on issues. You won't deter me or a very, very large group of women just like me. We are a very large and growing block of voters, and to grow that base, you need to recognize our different perspectives on the same core values. Stop pushing us away, and embrace our contributions. We are not so different, only the way God intends us to be. There's a reasons for differences, and they are for the greater good.
So hit me with your best shot. I will probably never post here again. And know this: I believe in George W. Bush, and will always be a conservative woman, although I'll probably be searching for another venue to share my beliefs.
The name is Sally. Please don't assume a familiarity you haven't been granted.
See kiddo? I notice that you got JR interested in your thread...haven't seen that very often, but I usually only turn to FR in times of need.
I live in Boston and had to endure the DNC. One of the "few, the proud, the brave" registered Republicans up here.
Grow a leather skin. Stick in there. Put your thoughts out there. Get some feedback.
The manfolk on FR can be the horniest sumbitches on the face of the earth, but that doesn't mean that ALL of us let our peckers run our brains.
If there's one thing we don't want to do is turn away female conservatives.
With JR being here and seeing the dates of the rest of the founders, you're in good hands, and I'm outta my league, so I'll follow "spectator" and log off (can't promise I won't lurk a while).
Unlike spectator, I haven't run out of beer, and I have toothpicks to keep my eyelids propped open too. LOL.
Troll? Someone that easily offended can't be pro-Bush.
OMG! Carol (my ex-wife - tho not her real name), is that you ??!!
Whiny women give other women an undeserved bad name. Shame on them!
what is this woman's problem?...dude?...lol
been here for over 4 years and now we're sexist?
I don't trust anyone who uses words that end in "-ist" or -ic" anyhoo.
I know passive-aggressive when I see it and this thread absolutely reeks of it.
Mom!!!!!!!!!!
Is that you?
I wonder what's her real problem....(thinking salacious Scarface scene)
I love women. They have owned me for many decades now...I'm beholden to a good half dozen as I type...would not have it any other way.
LOL...she looks like a "sleeper troll" to most of us.The funniest thing is,she's been catching holy heck from more women (about 99& of the women posting are giving it to her and in spades!),whilst the vast majority of the men have been treating her with kid gloves. ROTFLOL
Ummmmm...no "son";just your dear,longtime friend. LOL
Stay tuned, baby. You ain't seen nothin' yet!
Not sure what to do with a fan. You should have seen the hate mail I got after yesterday's column:

I dunno, NP. It may be because whiners like that give us all a bad name. I sure as hell don't want my trench warrior buddies thinking that when the going gets tough, I collapse into a wailing heap hoping that someone will be nice to me. Phew.
You are unpleasant.
Sexist post's? Ignore them!
The nightly posting of the president's day in pictures can get pretty embarrassing to me, but, I don't complain I let the swooning ladies have some fun.
Eh. There are good men and there are jerkwads (it's the same with women, BTW). Both types exist on FR. You just have to sift through them and let the slimey folk ooze off into the sludgepit where they belong.
May I recommend a temporary "vacation" from FR. It can be quite rejuvenating. :-)
