DISQUS

I love speech -- especially people speaking out for their political point of view, even if I don't agree with them. This is the foundation of democracy,which I'm lucky to live under.

If I meet people who I think have an irrational outlook I will do what I can to persuade them to a more rational one -- I don't fantasize about giving them a deadly disease. Ehrenreich crows about the possibility of it. I find that horrifying.

On a related note, I just posted about flag burning. I'm somebody who tears up upon coming back into the country through customs. I think I'm incredibly lucky to have been born American -- which isn't to say I don't have criticisms about this country.

While I don't see myself ever burning a flag, I will staunchly defend your right to do it. In fact, I think that the freedom to burn the flag sets this country above all others. In Barbara Ehrenreich's world, however, speech should be free just as long as yours agrees with hers. I believe they call this fascism. Let's hope hers is the minority position for many years to come.

Thanks so much for posting on this. My landlord got one of these, and I got it at my house, and I was about to waste a stamp mailing it to her.

Where's my weekly shoe allowance?

Don't be going all soft on me now!

Oh, I'm very fond of all Matt's writing...and after reading the very funny remark you made above, I'm starting to have a thing for yours, too.

I don't hate it; I'm just not interested in it, so I'd rather read Matt Welch on other topics. He kind of misquoted me and corrected it within the particular blog posting.

Sorry - posted the wrong link above. Here's further evidence of how I feel about men:

And, no, I don't blame my error on "the patriarchy."

NEWSFLASH FOR DIMWITS:

Every woman who disagrees with you on an issue isn't a man-hater. Are you truly that tender-headed, or is it just something you put out there for comedic effect?

I am passionately for justice -- whether it's a man or a woman being beaten or being cheated out of what's fair. I am very passionately for fathers rights, against no-fault divorce and the de facto kidnappings it permits, and against criminals like Sheila Kuhn.

In fact,I have a contact who books guests at Oprah, which I give to NO ONE, but I called up Matt Welch and offered him the bookers name and number, because he wrote that incredible piece in Reason about men being turned into the "fathers" (read: Human ATMs) for children whose mothers they'd never even slept with; let alone knew -- and I want to see that publicized. That link is on my site, too. You can dig that up, and while you're there, take a look at this:

Pretty surprising from a man-hating bitch like me, huh?

Are the shrill, whiny, lie-disseminating victim-feminists really that attractive that men want to emulate them? Or do you just need something to do while you're not getting laid?
