A matriarchal society will inevitably annihilate free speech. Consider that female socialization strategies do not select for "free speech". On the contrary. Female dominated societies will produce mass conformist populations, and that is what is happening now. Millions of adult males are conforming to their wives' and girlfriends' political expectations during various social and family interactions: This behavior is fundamentally female and conformist and not individualist. Meanwhile, the gender gap in the Michigan primary set a record. Men are rejecting matriarchy in the privacy of the voting booth...it is amazing that they aren't doing it in larger numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31316838390314097242008-01-16T05:25:00.000-08:002008-01-16T05:25:00.000-08:00I voted in Michigan yesterday, and I didn't vote f...I voted in Michigan yesterday, and I didn't vote for McCain.

You have to vigorously, through the force of your personality, push for it - because otherwise you go the way of the rest of Washington, won over by Strange New Respect, well-financed special interests, and constant pleas from various constituents to "do something" when they "hurt."<BR/><BR/>Given that, that gives at least some legitimacy to being more concerned about temperament than policy. Scored on points, George Bush had better policy positions than McCain in 2000. But he's certainly been no better a president, and arguably worse. Perhaps more than his ideology, his temperament has been his undoing.<BR/><BR/>McCain?<BR/><BR/>The problem is that whatever gains McAmnesty might actually make on shrinking government will be lost shortly after the recipients of his amnesty start voting en masse. He may shrink spending for a very little while, but in the end it will have all been pointless. So I'm willing to take my chances with Romney, who can't afford to flip again on immigration.<BR/><BR/>As for immigration's effect on this election - the 3 states the media's paid any attention to have relatively few illegal immigrants. As the races move to states that do, they are also moving to states where campaigning will be more wholesale than retail. That puts a premium on where a candidate stands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-78661547102275642782008-01-15T21:18:00.000-08:002008-01-15T21:18:00.000-08:00Oh, and I forgot...* exporting our "American Way" ...Oh, and I forgot...<BR/><BR/>* exporting our "American Way" world revolution to ungrateful 3rd worlders using ever growing loans from our main capitalistic rival, China (hastening our decline)<BR/><BR/>* formally (hate speech laws) and informally (pressuring family, friends, colleagues, and employers into denunciating transgressors) enforcing public “criticisms and self-criticisms” when anyone dare utter crime speak whether based on facts (Dr. Watson, Imus) or not imagined (Duke LAX, Jena 6)<BR/><BR/>And I’m sure I’ll think of more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-68132846911263484792008-01-15T21:09:00.000-08:002008-01-15T21:09:00.000-08:00Though he's an awful lefty, Chris Hayes has a good...Though he's an awful lefty, Chris Hayes has a good explanation of just how ignorant voters are <A HREF="http://www.chrishayes.org/articles/decision-makers/" REL="nofollow">here</A>.
