About the failure of the Blunt Amendment
This defeat is not an end to the GOP’s war on women, however. It is merely a skirmish in what looks to be a protracted struggle for women’s freedom and dignity in this country. This attack on women is, and I am grieved to say it, driven by a particular Christian theological perspective that denigrates women and holds them responsible for sin, particularly sexual sin.
When you have nothing to back up your claims that your party is the one voters should trust because historically, it just doesn't hold water
Again in Bloomberg today
The exercise has been fun because through the 1990s and 2000s, it showed that, on average, Democratic presidents make better Republicans than Republicans do. That is, if you’re interested in higher growth, lower inflation, less government spending and taxes, and so on (and even if you don’t care much about the poverty rate or number of Americans without health- care insurance), your best bet over the past half-century -- on average -- has been to vote Democratic for president.

your foreign policy consists of only of "upon whom should we drop our bombs next.
As the GOP race narrows towards the nomination, the Middle East will be looking more closely at the statements of Republican presidential hopefuls. It is still not too late to learn about the Middle East for what it is, rather than what Republicans think it is. Obsessing with bombing Iran is not a solution: being less of an embarrassment and a liability to Iran's opposition could be more helpful. That way, when the mullahs may fall, Iranian democrats will want to be allies of the west.
The again assuming the GOP has actually studied anything other than their own navels, is probably a false premise since
they view science as one long conspiracy theory.
If you came up with a bumper sticker that pulls together the platform of this year’s crop of Republican presidential candidates, it would have to be:
Repeal the 20th century. Vote GOP.
It is the reason when backed into a corner they grab the nearest Bible and scream
someone oppressing them
The idea of oppression is incredibly powerful in certain circles these days—among conservatives in general, and among white evangelicals in particular. Conservatives are oppressed by liberals, white people are oppressed by minorities, Christians are oppressed by government doing the bidding of militant secularists. These beliefs may be absurd, but they are genuinely felt. And the people who feel them are the ones Rick Santorum is talking to.

In this article we concentrate on one specific type of ecclesiastic discrimination--the one practiced against women. In her History of God, Armstrong (1993, p. 124) writes as follows: "A religion which looks askance upon half the human race and which regards every involuntary motion of mind, heart and body as a symptom of fatal concupiscence can only alienate men and women from their condition. Western Christianity never fully recovered from this neurotic misogyny." Yet, it appears to us that Armstrong is unnecessarily selective. It is not just Western Christianity that suffers from this shortcoming. By examining selected writings and exegeses of the major world religions, we shall show that they are all inherently misogynic. Based on our background as psychologists and our experience as family therapists, we attempt to analyze such misogyny and inquire into its roots and consequences.
Hallelujah, and we don't even have to discriminate against other religions.
Women are the root of all evil.
Hence we have the War on Women, it is all they have left
Sex, sluts and witches, it is nice to know how they really feel.
