We have missed a wonderful oppurtunity to place a man in the presidency of high moral and ethical character. May God have mercy on our nation.Have you ever met personally this man "of high moral and ethical character"?
If not then the only things you know about him are what he and his PR apparatus have let you know about him.
Having said that, Cruz certainly got this one right.

What?!! Seriously? YOU were the one stereotyping by saying “they.” Sheesh!
Of course I got it...and you were stereotyping by the mere use of the word “they”....I was being sarcastic when I first asked “who is this “they” that you speak of.” I don’t like when posters assume all women are supporting the women’s lib agenda.
Oh and I could care less about your condescending insulting snarky comments or opinion of me. Don’t reply—Total waste of bandwidth.

If women want to be equal then be treated as equal.

My son just went to the marines and saw how women are treated differently. hey don’t have to shave their hair, they don’t have the same physical tests and yet they demand to be treated as equals in combat units, B/S

I have a daughter and a son who just joined the marines and he said how women are treated differently. They do not have to shave their heads, they do not have the same physical tests and yet demand they be treated as equal.
Well give them equality and treat them the same and that means the draft, the physical tests etc.
My daughter has understood she is not the same nor are any of us. I am not as strong as some men, nor am I as fast, educated etc and this equality B/S pisses me off to not end.
None of us are equal, but we can strive to better

to join the marines men has to do 3 pulls ups, a woman does none , she has just to hang there for 30 secs, she has an easier running test, has a easier situp test and they say they want to be next to me son in combat , Hell No

To: manc
It has been and will always be that way. Biologically 95% of the women are weaker physically than the bottom 5% of the men entering the military. The progressives deny basic biology and science for what that's worth. If we applied their climate change logic to this, they would go to jail as the "deniers".
Sometimes the best way to fix a problem is complete system failure then rebuild from the ground up following sound fundamentals. We don't have that luxury with our military.
I thank your son for taking the bold move into an environment that is so messed up by our "leaders". I hope he leads us out of this lunacy.
Semper Fi.

That is unacceptable and embarrassing. Women need to perform the same as men. If the Marines cannot find women who can do three pull ups than too damn bad. Shame. Shame.

I was not stereotyping anything - you chose to see what you were predisposed to see.
And I wasn’t being the slightest bit snarky’ - I was simply stating the obvious truth.

We have missed a wonderful oppurtunity to place a man in the presidency of high moral and ethical character. Surely you are not referring to the Canadian who sealed his and his mother's records just like Barak Obama? The guy the Dems were praying would get the nomination so they could out him right after the convention. Not that high moral and ethical character?
Two choices: Hillary or Trump.

You are exactly right! The idiots in the pentagon and the dod already have women in combat positions. They wanna be equal? Ok, fine and dandy. They should absolutely have to register for the draft. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. And I say this having a daughter too. Sigh ‘em up right now!

To: bushwon
Yes, I understand - when I reply it’s a “waste of bandwidth.”
On the other hand, when you reply, it’s “a wonderful insight and not to be missed.”
Tell you what, when you have your own web site, I promise I’ll follow your dictates to the letter.
To: Jack Hammer
Not sure what your problem is. YOu seem to have some real issues. I am asking for the last time, PLEASE DO NOT REPLY.

These aren’t my “sisters” or are you incapable of reading comprehension you little puke.
Freeper is crawling with you little pimple-faced, snot-nosed punks sitting in your Mama’s basement eating pizza rolls.

The House GOP should show some spine and oppose drafting womenNo one is being drafted. Registration is meaningless feel-good Conservative Movement virtue signaling.
The current version of the Selective Service System is a jobs program for bureaucrats and clerks,

Is your daughter a feminist or did you suck at being a parent?
If she’s not then you’re an idiot! You’ll be singing a different tune when Nancy Pelosi and her insane pal happily force your daughter into combat where she can get raped by Islamic extremist.
I swear, you stick a keyboard in front of some people and out come the most ridiculous comments. I hope she doesn’t read this.
