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.
she has issues obviously and is not hardcore for here....a 4th or 5th stringer....
WOW...I really am impressed;you're a dynamo!Thank GOD you're on OUR side.And CONGRATS on all the wonderful things coming your way...you've earned them all! :-)
You bet,wardaddy,I'll vouch for you! You're one of the GOOD GUYS,in every department and your lovely wife is a fantastic girl! You're both two of my favorite people;on and off FR. :-)
Always! After all,that's what friends are for. :-)
At least this stupid vanity had a silver lining;unintended though it may be,by the poster.We all got to meet and had a lovely time. :-)
Pleasant dreams...you multitasker you.I hope we share many more threads in the future.
That she does and is far too troubled,to be allowed out on her own.Fifth stringer? Not even that good.
Nope. Wish I was in Nashville. Could get some good blues and BBQ.
In DC. The belly of the beast. Sigh.
Dad played for the Los Angeles Dons. Way back when it was a part time job. Quarterback type -- actually played for the Army Air Corps as well....was his cover. He was O.S.S.
Dad was somethin' else. Miss him every day.
Amen, my sista!
Nope, not a treasure though. Just plunked down where the good Lord sent me and tryin' to fight the fight so that -- who was it, Thomas Paine??? McHenry??? -- so that my children won't have to fight the fight.....
I'm sure we'll cross paths on threads. Silver linings are good things!
And welcome to our wee circle (LBT & wardaddy& me);the guys are dear,old friends and trench buddies of mine here.You're a most welcome addition to this group,too.
Isn't it nice,that we all managed to change a pathetic,whiny,worthless vanity into a mutual admiration society meeting and make a new,valued friend? The poor baby,who started this all,should take notes. LOL
This is one of the main reasons I plan on leaving the country, to get away from these dirt bags.
What Republican and conservative issues can you not embrace? Maybe this will give us a clue to your disenchantment with FR.
Well,if she dares to do that,we can just show up and do a repeat performance. LOL
Nighty night and pleasant dreams. :-)
Nice opus(sy).
Well it's a free country -- everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess.
