Freespirit and anne, thanks!

Freespirit – ya gotta start early with the bots. Repetition is the key.

I really hope those of us on the left who did not support Obama, can get them to let go of their irrational CDS and sexism, or we can really never embrace the same causes. And that would be a horrible shame.

Oh yeah. This article nailed it. No doubt the adult obots, capable of self- reflection and insight – all 12 of them, have begun to figure out that they have shoved (literally) Bush Lite into the position of POTUS. The latte liberal elite whose racism (yes – racism) blinded them to Obama’s flaws are going to need a little more time to figure this out. I mean, wouldn’t it make them really racist if they recognized an actual short-coming in this African American candidate? Guess some of them just couldn’t and still cant, judge him by the content of his character, but the color of his skin.

Then there are the baby bots – the Obama Kids. They loved the chanting, the cool slogans, the super-intellectual feeling they got from blindly following their peer group off Cliff Obama, knowing little about him, about life, about government – and caring less. Who the hell cares about some slum lord named Rezko? They had Obama, and he was cool. Plus he’s gonna legalize weed, man. We can stay high all the time.

I applaud the effort to enlighten the bots. But, it may take some time, because you’re right – they’re slow learners.

Good luck with that, Foxwood. I won’t be joining your effort, though. Just because I am not an Obot does not mean I am a conservative.

Do you believe the Constitution is the rule of law?
Do you believe in the original intent of our founding fathers?
Do you want to reform Congress? If your answer is yes, we have
to work together to make this happen.

Oh good, comments are back!

This is TOTALLY off the topic, but I wanted to let you know of an an interview that I put together that was published at New Agenda. Julie Halpern of Love Street Theatre, a feminist theater company based in New York. One of the articles that you wrote way back inspired me. I forget the exact topic but you wrote about feminist musicians, playwrights, etc. My “dream” is to organize a collective of feminist artists / graphic artists / art directors / etc. to help market “the cause” and to support each other. A 4th Wave kind of thing

Anyway, here’s the link:

Owen – Well-said, although “jailed for life” works for me too.

That poor girl. Now she has to go through the terror of thinking her parents are going to hell…and blaming herself for it.

If that’s “moral,” I’m Madeleine Albright.
