Those shows are for “liberal” patriarchal women.

I wonder how Rachel Maddow can rationalize Obama’s “win” and the defeat of Prop 8 in CA (i.e. “ban on gay marriage”)?

I was saddened that it was defeated, but couldn’t help but think of the double irony here: 1) Obama’s gay supporters helped defeat their own cause and 2) the African American community advanced bigotry in their vote to ban gay marriage.

Call out (or shame) women on their own ignorance, brainwashing, misogyny, and sexism. Coming from someone from the opposite sex should have some impact. We can start with examples from this election, economy, and from pop culture.

Half the ads on TV would be pulled, and most ad firms bankrupted, if persuasion tricks were banned (subliminals are a different story; I think they are illegal on TV though not in print). I have both had these tactics aimed at me, *and* studied them for years professionally as part of becoming certified to be a corporate trainer. They’re academically recognized as techniques that get results, not as “evil”. Tools don’t have moral value. You can dislike that all you want, of course.

“Honeeeeeey…. pleeeeeeeease?” around the house is “mind control” in the sense that it can get someone to do some chore that they might not actually prefer to do. “Honeeeeeeeyy” might be an anchor to something positive that occurs behind closed doors. And someone might know through conditioning that following through on the chore requested by the “pleeeeeeeeease?” will get them the opportunity to hear it again in a different context really soon. How WOULD you draw the line, if given the opportunity?

“Let the buyer beware” and all.

Of course, the trouble with that is when unaware buyers get together to buy something on behalf of the whole country, and the rest of us get stuck with what the unaware buyer bought based on the advertising.

Thank you Rev Amy. I am very angry today too. Women do not support other women. Example: Oprah, Randi Rhodes, Stephanie Miller, Rachel Maddow, etc. These women, are heard on a daily basis, and not one of them lifted a finger to help Hillary. They all bought the hopey, changey thing, and went for American Idol, instead of the deserving candidate. I will never watch Oprah again, or pick her magazines. I will never listen to a Stephanie Miller or Randi Rhodes radio program. The View, can take their show and shove it. Oprah and The View, were supposed to be geared to women. What a huge letdown they were to women everywhere. Let’s make a difference in their lives with their ratings.

that bridge to nowhere, she loved it so and when it died, she kept the dough

Prove she kept the money. You can’t. Case closed.

Newsflash for you – Obama and Biden both chose the earmark for that bridge OVER helping those affected by Katrina. That’s on record.

Are you or someone you know baving trouble paying the mortgage? You can thank Obama for his esteemed title of being 2nd highest of all in “keeping the dough” from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who consider him “one of the family”, who was the attorney on record that sued banks not giving out enough sub-prime loans to those who don’t qualify.

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.—2Timothy4:3,4

the obots that i’ve tried to talk to are in a complete state of denial” “perhaps someday you will share our positive feelings!”

so here is my question:
1) do they (deep down) admit he’s just another dirty pol, but think the ends justify the means? or

2) they think these are just crazy lies from clinton supporters & right wingers, and he’s actually a clean messiah — ready to save our country & planet?

The problem is that Democrats want a winner so bad right now they are willing to throw anything and everything under the bus to get it, including principles like respect for women, fair democratic elections, campaign finance reform, gay rights, FISA, and I could go on and on.

I know so many woman who have I have heard said “I wish Hilary was the nominee but I guess Obama will have to do”, basically settling for second best – when obviously women have the numbers to control the entire Democratic party and could have done so if they stood together.

It seems to me that women do not respect other women. In the workplace, in politics, there are women with attitudes where they have a “chip on their shoulder” for most of their lives, there’s no more women’s movement that was going on recently like in years past, so women seem to think (or it appears that way for many) that they’ve made it to the top. So there’s no need to compete or reach for the top. While there are many brilliant, experienced and skilled women for the jobs that are automatically given to a man, God forbid that a man should have to report to a woman. And there’s women like Sen. Hillary Clinton who did WIN THE PRIMARY AND SHOULD BE OUR PRESIDENT ELECT; who was toppled by her own party colleagues, and the Obama camp; Nancy Pelosi would not and could not have another powerful women running the country. Pelosi needs to be Queen Bee. And she’s running the show. It’s an awful shame that women do not stick together, never mind the Hillary Clinton hating groups of this country, men and women alike “hated Hillary” but I wonder if it is the WOMEN HATERS of the U.S. and not “haters of Hillary Clinton.” Both men and women hating women for whatever their lame reasons might be. This country needed a strong leader and a major mistake was made by the people of this country, the Democratic National Committee, Donna Brazile, Howard Dean, the Rules and By-Laws Committee and the msm who sold a bill of goods to the American voter and anointed the Messiah.

I just joined Lady Lynn’s new site, Together4Us, and am going to email her directly to see what I can do. I’m done feeling helpless. Since I can’t afford to retire and move out of the country, I’ll stay and fight. The zombies out there will learn to never underestimate the power of an angry woman, much less millions of us.

I am a PUMA, now and forever!

I have tried and tried to talk to people about this. I’m starting to believe that hypnosis theory. My friend with brains have literally thrown truth, reason and logic out the window. I can’t believe I have to tell these nuts that it’s unacceptable to have a President who fights the courts to show his BC. WTF? And all of the other lies and fraud. It’s like Day of the Dead around here. Zombies. And all I do is cry. All the time.
