Excuse me - but I would like to reaffirm your statement - all you have to do is look at President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld and you can see what you are saying is true.
Females are gushing all over them because they are REAL MEN!! Oh, if there were only more of them.

Awwww, y'all are sweet. Thanks. I tend to think my daughter is pretty lucky to have me for a mom too. Conservatives make the best parents don't you think? May the good Lord have mercy on children with liberal parents. Blech!!!!! LOL Actually, I'm the lucky one. My daughter is a rare form of beauty, inside and out. I'm so proud of her sensitivity and compassion. She is growing up to be a very outspoken little conservative too. She has absolutely no fear of telling a liberal how misguided they are. LOL Pretty funny, because she is only 10 and extremely reserved. You should have seen her when she tore into her Gore voting aunt. When she talks, people listen! LOL She has never given me a moments grief and is such a good girl.
*****Beaming with pride here*****
(sorry, I start talking about my kids and have a hard time shutting off the valve).

While out for his morning jog, the good doctor set fire to the shantytown and it burned to the ground. He was spotted by another early morning jogger who followed him and apparently became a witness for the prosecution after the doctor was charged with arson. Oh the self-rightious hue and cry by campus leftists after that incident! If he'd burned a U.S. flag instead, they probably would have given him an honorary degree.

My, my - how cynical! But, if you marry the right girl, divorce is not even a part of your conversation! That's the secret. Marrying knowing you can get a divorce means you are not committed to the relationship - but, marrying with the idea that divorce is not an option, now that makes for a committed relationship - one that can overcome any obstacles; and like I said, praying in the Holy Ghost makes you one great husband!

It's easier to cut it in "women's stdies". "black studies", and "Chicano studies" than it is in accounting, engineering etc. What you're generally getting here is people who usually cannot handle technical education, the kind of education that actually gets them a job or prepares them for graduate school.

"With more than a 3:1 ratio of women's vs. men's toilets, it (American Airlines Center) exceeds the requirements of the Texas "Potty Parity" law." The Feminist Version of Equality In Law: a 3:1 ratio in their favor.
Actually, "potty parity" is very un-feminist. It recognizes gender differences and acts rationally to deal with them. Surely you've seen a huge line at the ladies room, and then waltzed right up to a urinal, in a venue without potty parity?
To spell out the obvious, not treating the genders equally, and acting rationally in dealing with those differences, is very much unlike most feminist dogma.

Given the opportunity, these brainwashed zombies would gladly round us up at machine gun point and load us onto trucks as part of the the "Final Solution To White Male Racism". Finally somebody gets it. These people are not misguided idealists who have an intellectual disagreement on ideological grounds. They are hard-bitten ideologues, dedicated to the destruction of America and all who love her.
Nex time the partisans may be us.
To: Your Vast Superior
Diversity = lesbian feminists who hate straight white men. This reminds me of the official slogan used in preparation for that very diversity conference. And the banner read, "Diversity Is The Only Way."
Kinda says it all, you ask me. But enough of this tripping down memory lane. . .

Welcome aboard brother partisan!
To: Travis McGee
Hey! I resemble that remark! I competed in a casual 100yd "highpower" match today, with about 50 others. Judging on looks alone, we'd have a large group of partisans capable of really accurate fire from that crew, if the womym ever got uppity. We even had several women in the group.

In college I studied engineering. While I was working hard to understand thermodynamics, statics, calculus, and physicsSo did I.
--the "Womyn's Studies" students were in the hallway on their backs, legs spread, knees up, chanting, and practicing "giving birth" to Iris.
Thank God Georgia Tech would never offer such a major. Back then, I just wished there were more women to study. :^)
