Just keep in mind that while ageism is not a good thing, it is nowhere as bad as sexism and racism.

After all, all old people were once young and all young people will grow old. A black person can’t turn white, nor a woman turn into a man–not that they should want to.

But it is a bit tricky when it comes to Obama, McCain and Palin. The later three are all playing bait-n-switch: Obama’s record is that of a flaming liberal and McCain and Palin’s is that of rightwingers. Indeed, Palin’s record is that of a rightwing wacko. They are not the moderates they pretend to be.

That being said, both McCain and Palin can (somewhat) rightfully claim to have been reformers. But then again, Washington has a way of corrupting you: Bush43 was a moderate in Texas who then morphed into a rightwing neocon in the White House. Bush43′s father, Bush41, was anti “trickle down economics” and undeclared w.r.t. the abortion issue, but as a prez, he toed the line as all good little boys should.

But this is ideology. I also can’t say for sure how the three would respectively turn out in terms of competence and the ability to lead, particularly in times of crisis.

I meant to say “sexually assaulted“.

Not if you’re being oppressed:

1. Criminal-justice data taken year after year shows blacks are racially profiled buy cops, US customs, department store employees, etc. With the case of US customs, blacks are less likely to try to smuggle in contraband, but are 8-9 times more likely to be searched. Combine this with non-verbal “microinsults” done by the “typical white person”, and you have a pretty sure-fine way of destroying a persons self-image creating alienation, etc. Alienation is the seed from which criminal behavior arises. This is well known to criminologists: ALL RACES & ALL CULTURES ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ITS INSIDIOUS, INDEED DESTRUCTIVE AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, EFFECTS. There’s a mountain of sociological and economic data going back 150+ years that says precisely this. And it is hardly unique to the US. Hint: Look into all those ethnic gangs of the past, namely the English, German, Irish, Italians, Jews, Chinese, etc., and compare them to the gangs of today, i.e. the Bloods & Crypts, MS-13 and even those white biker gangs, neo-Nazi’s, etc.

2. Socio-economic data shows year after year that it is easier for a white guy with a criminal record to get the same job than a black guy with NO criminal record. Everyone knows that crime and unemployment go hand in hand.

3. 1/3 of all women will be sexually in their lifetime, in the US.

4. Men kill women. By comparison, it is very rare for the opposite case to occur.

5. Women make 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work.

And btw, what the FUCK you think Hillary’s (sincere) reference to “the glass ceiling” and Palin’s (opportunistic) echo it of it means? What the FUCK do you think Palin’s (insincere) reference to “the good ol’ boys club” means?

It means the same Goddam thing as “Yes, we can!”: The Man is keeping us down!

THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH POSITIVELY PLAYING UP THE GENDER ANGLE. LIKEWISE, THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH PLAYING UP THE RACE ANGLE. IT IS ONLY WRONG IF OBAMA FALSELY ACCUSES HIS OPPONENTS OF SAYING SOMETHING RACIST–i.e. PLAYING THE RACE CARD.

You’re a real ignorant dumbfuck. You do know that, right?

Oh, I would pay to see that happen.

Up close, the maw of the money machine can seem a weird place. (Having purchased a ticket in order to bypass Obama’s press sentries, I am the only reporter, it appears, who is free to roam the event.) When Morgan Freeman comes over to greet Obama, the senator begins bowing down both hands in worship. “This guy was president before I was,” says Obama, referring to Freeman’s turn in Deep Impact and, clearly, getting a little ahead of his own bio. Next, a nod to Bruce Almighty: “This guy was God before I was.” (Okay, more than a little ahead.) But Freeman is eating it up. Leaning in, he tells the senator to win it. “I will,” Obama replies. “That’s why I’m running.” [Source.]

If you have no doubt that Obama thinks he’s G-d, then you shouldn’t now.

That all by itself will be significant.

Yeah. And electing a WOMAN would have been even more significant. And bashing women because they don’t fit into Queen Michelle’s Plan for World Domination is even more significant.

Not all PUMA’s are pro McCain or pro Palin. Many are staying home. Some are voting for Nader. Many, like myself, are voting for McCain-Palin only because we want to defeat Obama.

And what the fuck is wrong with you?!? Palin has cited and even thanked Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary. The McCain-Palin campaign has (rightfully) trashed Obama over his deliberate sexist “Lipstick on a Pig” comment. Palin has explicitly invoked the “glass ceiling” and the “good ol’ boys club”, which means the same things as Obama’s (or rather Cesar Chavez’s) “Yes, we can!”, i.e. “The Man is keeping us down!” They constantly talk about how Obama should have picked Hillary as VP. Of course they are playing the gender angle–the gender card.

Repeat: What the FUCK is wrong with you?!?
