New York Magazine’s Stepford Feminism Reworks the Feminine Mystique for the 21st Century
IT’S A set up from the start. It’s the story of Betty Friedan’s Feminine Mystique dumbed down for the gullible. That we’ve been here before Friedan would appreciate, especially since the latest tripe comes complete with Freudian “biology is destiny” built in. On one hand, it’s gross that New York is contributing to the insidious [...]
Mitt Can’t Fire Big Bird Even If He Wants To [Videos]
“I’m sorry Jim. I’m gonna stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m gonna stop other things. I like PBS, I like Big Bird, I actually like you too.” – Mitt Romney THE PLANS Mitt Romney aggressively put forth last night are meeting with strong fact-checking headwinds.

War on Women, Military Edition
MILITARY WOMEN haven’t had the same rights as civilian females when it comes to reproductive health care for decades. Unbelievably, only if the life of the woman is at stake is abortion currently covered through Department of Defense policy. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has a bill that will alter this injustice, which is backed by very [...]
A.G. Eric Holder Speech on Targeted Killing

Ron Paul Ad Labels Rick Santorum ‘Fake’ Fiscal Conservative
Paul may not be purposefully helping Mitt Romney, though their detente seems fairly obvious if you’ve been paying attention. However, considering Mitt Romney is burning through his campaign cash faster than he can raise it he’s not going to complain. Romney’s presidential campaign and the super PAC supporting him pulled in $13.1 million in January, [...]
Pat Buchanan Fires Back After Being Sacked at MSNBC
On a recent political show Bay Buchanan made a comment that the host might be getting a call from her brother soon.

Pat Buchanan let loose about it on his American Conservative website in “Blacklisted but not Beaten”. [...]
Women Want Their Birth Control
“The Peggy Noonan piece left some things out. … But I have to say, the article appears to be very misleading.” – Mika Brzezinski, “Morning Joe” (7 Feburary) This started yesterday on “Morning Joe,” with Brzezinski reading part of an over the top declarative Peggy Noonan op-ed and getting very exercised about it before she [...]
And Republicans Wonder Why Turnout is Down
This cannot end well for him, particularly doing this claiming to be a Christian. And it might not end well for the rest of us either. Barack Obama has gone to war with Christians’ consciences and he is perverting God’s word in the process to get his way on public policy. – The Perversion of [...]
Mitt Slams Newt with Ronald Reagan
er… I mean Romney’s Super PAC… er… Rather, the Super PAC supporting Mitt Romney that has absolutely no contact with the candidate whatsoever is slamming Newt with Ronald Reagan. Nate Silver reveals why. In the debates, Newt continually tries to associate himself with the Gipper: Over the course of the 17 debates that he has [...]

‘Throw the Bums Out’ Empowers Grassrootsie Types
(The Liberally Independent ‘Too Few Choices Series’)
Joyce L. Arnold: Liberal, lesbian, Independent, equality activist, writer. “Everybody knows” fictions and fantasies What “everybody knows” about our political system could fill libraries. Or it could be reduced to a sound bite: What “everybody knows” is often the fictions and fantasies we’re told we should “know.” My take on who ultimately does the telling: [...]
