The Taliban believes in rigid control of women. So do the radical extremists on the right. They were offended that Laura even got UP to talk. At all. Little Woman should have just stayed in her seat and smiled. And oh how convenient it was to lump anyone who didn't agree with you into that group. You just did the same things to Christians....they should sit down and shut up and stop disagreeing with you. No one in this thread was upset that Laura even got up to talk. You directed your venom at the wrong damn people if this was your reason. I'm thinking it's more backpeddling.

I don't want Christians to shut up.

But having talked to a gazillion of them in real life, not the faux pretenders on the internet, not one of them was upset with the jokes.

What I would like, but will never have, given the nature of the internet, is for people to fully understand that we can say we are anything on the internet. But it doesn't mean that's what we are.

For example, the book for which Jim RObinson wrote the foreward, Hillary's Secret War, details how the left comes to sites like this one and pretends to be Christian or conservative but in reality they are paid opinion shapers.

They cause dissent among the good conservatives who have been here for years. And lead the more naive among us.

Since I've talked to people in real life, most of whom are Baptist, and they didn't have a problem with the First Lady's jokes, then I'm assuming that most of these people on here aren't what they are professing to be.

Oh, I know now that I'll see a bunch of posts professing they they are "real" and they are "concerned". But, it's the internet. I'm Queen Elizabeth.

True. The poster...Peach is it? That poster have read one or two extreme comments like that on other threads and now is pretending that all the posters who took exception to some of Laura's comments believe she shouldn't even have spoken.

This is the same poster who will compare anyone who disagrees with a couple of comments in Laura's speech to being like a member of the Taliban.

The poster (Peach) is a bit disturbed and is not able to reason effectively.
