The most presciently under-appreciated and intentionally ignored book in gender politics was published by David Paul Kuhn in 2007 and titled “The Neglected Voter: White Men and The Democratic Dilemma.” The message is in the title. White men have fled the Democratic Party in droves, for good reason – and why shouldn’t they continue to flee in 2014,— while keeping an eye on 2016? For those not afraid of being “bullied” by the Democratic left, there are a half dozen long-ignored but critically important problems facing the nation’s males that should bring all voting-age men to the polls in 2014...

These were not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis, with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit--the emotions in the room, and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in...

Cruz isn't the only Bustamante who enjoys taking the stage for the Left and La Raza (scroll down). More here and here. (warning -- not job safe or after-lunch safe). Remember, as Cruz says, acceptance, not tolerance. And he clearly knows of which he speaks. A lot of people in a lot of families I'm sure have sympathy for Cruz. http://www.franklinfurnace.org/tfotp01/bustamante/bustamante_pastprojects.html http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/09/29/BA266249.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/offbeat/nao1.html http://www.sfgate.com/offbeat/naoindig.html

<p>California Insider A Weblog by Sacramento Bee Columnist Daniel Weintraub June 20, 2003 Too little democracy, or too much? Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante has added his name to the list of top Democrats who “do not intend” to run for governor when the recall election qualifies for the ballot. The Democrats, led by the labor movement’s most influential players, are pursuing a high-risk strategy of offering the voters Gray Davis or nobody from the Democratic side. That’s their best chance of saving Gray. I’m not sure it’s their best chance of holding the office.</p>

The Legal Endgame The result is getting clearer. By Todd Gaziano, senior fellow in Legal Studies at The Heritage Foundation With all the legal maneuverings over chad-whacking and recounts in Florida, it is easy to lose sight of what may well be the ultimate legal endgame in Congress if one candidate does not concede the election in the next few weeks. Unfortunately for Gore, there is controlling legal authority on what Congress's powers are with respect to a questionable state certification and how Congress would proceed to select the appropriate group of electors. This explains Gore's growing desperation to convince ...

Just one touch If Al would put his hand on Bill, the whole country might be turned on.
