party wish needs
And what do Democrats stand for, if they are so ready to defame concerned citizens as the 'mob' - a word betraying a Marie Antoinette delusion of superiority to ordinary mortals. I thought my party was populist, attentive to the needs and wishes of those outside the power structure. And as a product of the 1960s, I thought the Democratic party was passionately committed to freedom of thought and speech.
world weakness aristocracy
Capitalism has its weaknesses. But it is capitalism that ended the stranglehold of the hereditary aristocracies, raised the standard of living for most of the world and enabled the emancipation of women.
sex men attention
Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.
past rome hopeless
Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?
sensitivity masculinity elusive
Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.
pigs healthcare guinea
The airheads of Congress will keep their own plush healthcare plan - it's the rest of us guinea pigs who will be thrown to the wolves.
independent careers america
It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.
girl home motherhood

We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.

warrior natural
I guess I'm just a natural warrior.
art nature imagination
Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth.
inspirational hilarious men
There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.
years damage-is-done feckless
The damage done to U.S. prestige by the feckless, buffoonish George W. Bush will take years to repair.
children race elderly
I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power. There should be no specially protected groups of any kind, except for children, the severely disabled and the elderly, whose physical frailty demands society's care.
