In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.

Along with the emancipation of women, sexual liberation has become very much a part of politics around the world. To the conservatives, both these issues challenge ‘family values’.
But what if there were no families? What if we say no to reproduction?
Humankind would cease to exist.
My understanding of reproduction is that it is the basis of the institutions of marriage and family, and those two provide the moorings to the structure of gender and sexual oppression. Family is the social institution that ensures unpaid reproductive and domestic labour, and is concerned with initiating a new generation into the gendered (as I analyzed here) and classed social set-up. Not only that, families prevent money the flow of money from the rich to the poor: wealth accumulates in a few hands to be squandered on and bequeathed to the next generation, and that makes families as economic units selfishly pursue their own interests and become especially prone to consumerism.
Family. Is. All. We. Have. Dumb. Bitch.
I just can’t add any commentary to this. My mouth is gaping wide open, in disgust and a loss for words. I am…speechless.
For a little diversion from the tension as we await the voting returns, I invite you to view this video that was produced against California’s Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that would ban the recognition of gay marriages by the state. Try to figure out what I found so weak about it.
So you think I thought there was something just a tad unrealistic about the portrayal of these Mormon missionaries as guys who just love walking into people’s homes, sifting through their belongings, and tearing up things, complete with sinister laughing?
Or how these missionaries blithely ignore the churches rules for their missionaries that elders shouldn’t go into homes where they are the only males?
Or the irony of such blatant bigotry against the Mormon church by those whose major argument for supporting gay marriage is tolerance for people whose lifestyle choices differ from yours?
Well yes, these are are probably true, I suppose. But that’s not the most egregious distortion of reality I observed.
It’s becoming pretty clear to me why the left hates Sarah Palin. It’s not about her equally equal resume to Obama; it’s not about her religion, it’s not about her energy policies.
It’s all about children. And the right to abort them…and the expectation that disabled fetuses be aborted as well. Palin is a threat to the women who chose death for their own selfish reasons.
Drug stores are slowly standing up for the rights of pharmacists and others who are pro life…who object to filling prescriptions for drugs that terminate pregnancies, and even birth control. This is surely going to be controversial.
When DMC Pharmacy opens this summer on Route 50 in Chantilly, the shelves will be stocked with allergy remedies, pain relievers, antiseptic ointments and almost everything else sold in any drugstore. But anyone who wants condoms, birth control pills or the Plan B emergency contraceptive will be turned away.
Can we hear the Women’s Rights’ groups screaming already? Using the false idea of such pharmacies denying women their right…to…health…care….
That’s because the drugstore, located in a typical shopping plaza featuring a Ruby Tuesday, a Papa John’s and a Kmart, will be a “pro-life pharmacy” — meaning, among other things, that it will eschew all contraceptives.
The pharmacy is one of a small but growing number of drugstores around the country that have become the latest front in a conflict pitting patients’ rights against those of health-care workers who assert a “right of conscience” to refuse to provide care or products that they find objectionable.
Medical people have rights. Pharmacists are no exception. We don’t hear women demanding their primary care doctors perform abortions, right? So why should we demand our pharmacist provide drugs that they object to?
But critics say the stores could create dangerous obstacles for women seeking legal, safe and widely used birth control methods.
“I’m very, very troubled by this,” said Marcia Greenberger of the National Women’s Law Center, a Washington advocacy group. “Contraception is essential for women’s health. A pharmacy like this is walling off an essential part of health care. That could endanger women’s health.”
Choice my dear. Women have choices. There’s always another drug store in the region, often right up the road, that will sell the drugs wanted. SO get off your bullshit claims here, that women’s health is at risk.
:roll:
The free markets allow this to happen. Businesses should not be forced to sell products they do not wish to be associated with. Drug stores, pharmacies, are businesses, that sell drugs and many other items. It is all about choice. I don’t agree with these drug stores- I think birth control is a good thing. I have choices as to where I can purchase my medications though. There is no danger to women’s health.
I am reminded of the scene from the second Austin Powers were, ironicly enough, Tim Robbins plays the president, and Robbins has just got the ultimatum from Dr. Evil. Dr. Evil has his base on the moon and is threatening to blow up Washington D.C. unless he gets 1 Trillion dollars!
The President: C’mon, let me nuke that bastard.
Commander Gilmour: Are you suggesting that we blow up the moon?
The President: Would you miss it?

The campus rape industry’s central tenet is that one-quarter of all college girls will be raped or be the targets of attempted rape by the end of their college years (completed rapes outnumbering attempted rapes by a ratio of about three to two). The girls’ assailants are not terrifying strangers grabbing them in dark alleys but the guys sitting next to them in class or at the cafeteria.
This claim, first published in Ms. magazine in 1987…
And now the facts:
So what reality does lie behind the campus rape industry? A booze-fueled hookup culture of one-night, or sometimes just partial-night, stands. Students in the sixties demanded that college administrators stop setting rules for fraternization. “We’re adults,” the students shouted. “We can manage our own lives. If we want to have members of the opposite sex in our rooms at any hour of the day or night, that’s our right.” The colleges meekly complied and opened a Pandora’s box of boorish, sluttish behavior that gets cruder each year. Do the boys, riding the testosterone wave, act thuggishly toward the girls? You bet! Do the girls try to match their insensitivity? Indisputably.
College girls drink themselves into near or actual oblivion before and during parties. That drinking is often goal-oriented, suggests University of Virginia graduate Karin Agness: it frees the drinker from responsibility and “provides an excuse for engaging in behavior that she ordinarily wouldn’t.” A Columbia University security official marvels at the scene at homecomings: “The women are shit-faced, saying, OLet’s get as drunk as we can,˜ while the men are hovering over them.” As anticipated, the night can include a meaningless sexual encounter with a guy whom the girl may not even know. This less-than-romantic denouement produces the “roll and scream: you roll over the next morning so horrified at what you find next to you that you scream,” a Duke coed reports in Laura Sessions Stepp’s recent book Unhooked. To the extent that they’re remembered at all, these are the couplings that are occasionally transformed into “rape”—though far less often than the campus rape industry wishes.
We can thank feminism for all this. And if you want your daughter to not become a victim of her own choosing in these matters, teach her to respect herself. It’s also important to teach our sons how to respect girls and women…and not take advantage of them when they do stupid things. There are very few campuses where these behaviors don’t occur- public, private, religious- it doesn’t matter. The drunken hookup scene is the popular scene these days. Self respect. It will go a long way.
