You are so right! You're not the only person who has friends and family members who hate Republicans and cannot discuss issues without resorting to name-calling. I have two sisters who both make over 100 grand working for a major corporation more than twice what yours truly makes. Yet the only thing they could talk about the last time we met was how much they despised Bush and how sad it is that the U.S is run by "terrible white males". I finally asked my oldest sister, who has quite a lot of kale saved up (which let her give my parents a brand new European car ..Audi or something like that...among other luxuries), if her life was terrible. She admitted that she was living pretty good. Then I asked her what she was complaining about. She had no answer.

All my three sisters are (1) ardent Democrats and (2) have a dismal knowledge of current events and economic facts. The two situations seem to go together.

Your sisters have probably been suckered by the NARAL/choice argument. I know females in similar situations. They just 'know' that they're supposed to be democrats because the pubbies want wimmins barefoot and pregnant and want to outlaw birth control or some such happy horsesh$t.

I've seen similar things too. Bottom line is: if one treasures freedom and small government, don't let women vote.

Of course I was joking. I'd never advocate that. No, Never. Not me. No. Just kidding. Don't like those people in the white jackets.
