i too am disturbed by the current trends.. i firmly believe that we are living in the last days of empire.. i reject the notion that 'republicans' or george bush or fundalmentalists are the enemy.. i think that's foolish 'straw man' politics.. personally, i am a conservative, a christian(though not a very good one) and i am far more concerned about the 'liberal puritan' line of thought.. that line of thought that insists, patiently, that others know best how i might live, and think and feel.. pls consider( i will take the liberty, as this is a radical forum0
please consider.. fifty years of civil rights in the us, and blacks are worse off than they were.. now 1 in three face incarceration, for men,,
the net worth of blacks is way down, inheritance almost obliterated, a leading cause of death is murder.. this is progress ? i don't come to these opinions all by myself, folks.. i have a buddy, whom i shall call false prophet, and he and i have had many discussions along these lines. why should a generation, or two, of ANY
race be dis-enfranchised/ how does that accord with american ideal and intent/
please consider almost fifty years of feminist rhetoric and legislation .. what has been accomplished? women face more violence, have lost ground economically, are, in all ways less free than they were.. and that's worldwide.. as an example( a cheap shot really)
afghanistan ..the taliban..under shari'a women as a class were brutalized.. no american and few european men could stand to see their women treated so.. just ain't right.. half a population reduced to slavery.. question? where were the american and european feminists? why did they not protest? if human life is sacrosanct, why do the feminists keep silent about that? what, exactly is the agenda?
