Somebody from "Main Street Republicans" had something to do with the planting of this article!

I'm looking forward to the protest next week about the continual defamation of American men constantly portrayed as incompetent, helpless buffoons or insensitive boors and women haters. I won't be holding my breath.

"But let us not forget that Mr. Carter was the first modern religious conservative to be president"

It's hard to take this article serious with lines like that.

Not to mention it's women making the choice whether or not to wear these clothes... it's not the vendor making the choice - but the women's groups don't want to simply attack other women for their choices - they would rather try to censor the vendor.

This article makes no sense - the author has strung together a totally unrelated set of events.
Jimmuh Cahtuh's book connected to a boycott of A & F on the thin connection that the girls that started the boycott are liberals??? Jimmuh is a bozo and the worst president in modern history. He's just hoping people will forget the 18% interest rates and the failure of his administration to get the hostages out of Iran.
That being said, Abercrombie and Fitch is a scummy corporation and I hope the boycott spreads until the company's bought out by.... K-Mart.

The dialectic backorder to claims of morality. That is, foster social disintegration until it bites you in the butt, then take credit from your political enemies when you try to reign in your excess. If true allied purposes were at the center of this revisionist crap, then the fine "liberals" that are alarmed at the toilet they have created should logically be in league with the core moral values that their erstwhile conservative partners actually serve - not the presenting problems issues.

FACT: Feminists have fully participated in the degradation of women as sexual objects and, in fact, tried to shape them after the pattern of male sexuality.

FACT: The hypersexualizing of society is 100% due to the destructive efforts of the new left.

FACT: Animal rights activists actually see animals on par with human beings. Examples of cruelty serve only as an excuse to advance the larger deep green agenda.

FACT: Animal rights activists don't have any problem - at all - ever - with the factory killing of human infants.

FACT: Jimmy Carter is religious in his own mind. Any traditional notion of faith would show Jim-mah to the door. In fact, Jim-mah left the Southern Baptists because of their "intolerance" or what is also known as adherence to their theology.

FACT: There are NO such things as liberals who disliked Carter's presidency. Liberals may say that today because it is universally known that his head was up his butt, but then, they aren't really "liberals" either. Communists still need to revise truth and hide their true identity.

"The heroes of this piece are smart, driven, independent and, let it be said, liberal. (Let it also be said that those four words are not mutually exclusive.)"

Actually, the last one is exclusive of the first three -- but this guy doesn't sound like he's old enough to know that.

"The dialectic backorder to claims of morality"

Should read:

This article is the dialectical back door to claims of morality.

I'd like to know why this despicable company is still in business? They used to be a marketer of traditional, high end sportswear. Now they just grovel in the gutter.

Last week I was serving as a Eucharistic Minister at my church (that is distributing Communion for those who are not Catholic). A child stood before me wearing an Abercrombie polo shirt -- a nice one, no offensive slogans. But, I couldn't help from looking at his mother and wondering exactly WHAT she was thinking -- to dress her son in a garment from a company intent on deliberately sexualizing and scandalizing the youth of America.

I wouldn't have anything from that company in my house if they were giving it away free.

The liberals in my family more or less universally admit that he should not have been president.

a lot of people who deplored Mr. Carter's presidency

Which reminds me -- how come W's approval numbers are always compared to Clinton's, Reagan's, and his pop's? Didn't they have those polls back when President Malaise presided over double-digit inflation, interest, and unemployment rates?

nonetheless took great joy in the way he attacked President Bush. But let us not forget that Mr. Carter was the first modern religious conservative to be president,

What parallel universe does this guy live in where Jimmy Carter is a conservative? With all of his chiding today's Democrats for their slavish devotion to Roe v. Wade, I don't remember HIM breaking away from the pack when the decision was still in its first decade of existence!

That's it in a nutshell.

"that is distributing Communion for those who are not Catholic"

I think you meant something other than what you wrote, right?

The liberals in your family may say that now, but I'll bet my bottom dollar they didn't then. In the same way, they'll support another loser like krinton or Gore or JF'ingK and look the other way regardless of the man's corruption or incompetence. They write off Jim-mah now because he is an embarrassment and it is convenient now to admit he was a total flush instead of having to field tough questions about an ideology that would field such a mutant.

I misread your previous post - I'm sure you are right that they supported Carter at the time.

I think he meant, at the very least, to have used a comma or two.

The almost universal response I hear from lefties today is: "I voted for him because I thought he was a good man but he may have been too good a man for that job."

Uh huh. He's all love and sunshine. Makes you wonder what their excuses will be in 30 years for all the RATs they've voted for since.

Krinton: 'Well, I just thought he was a real friendly man who maybe stretched the truth once in a while in the service to good goals.'

Algore: 'Well, I voted for him because he really cared about the whole world. In retrospect, I suppose he was just too smart for the job.'

JF'ingK: 'Well, I voted for him because I trusted him as a real war hero and we need that kind of man during a time of war. All of the military is so corrupt and he is so smart and nuanced, no wonder they all hated him.'

The preferred wording would have been something closer to "For the benefit of those readers who are not Catholic, a Eucharistic Minister assists the priest in the distribution of Communion."

I'm sure that was the intended meaning.
