What people want is wrong. <br />They should want what the leftists tell them to want.<br /><br />Like their inability to see the inevitable consequences of their errors, they cannot see that never in human history has ignoring basic human realities succeeded.<br /><br />It's so stupid it's maddening.KCFleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124201866124646626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-43382681416427592862015-11-10T15:29:24.471-08:002015-11-10T15:29:24.471-08:00Clearly I do not have the academic credentials and...Clearly I do not have the academic credentials and licenses to steal money to justify having an opinion, but I will report that more than thirty years at Pacific Telephone and Creighton University as a technical manager convince me that if you used a text editor and replaced every occurrence of "woman", "women", "her" or "she" with the appropriate grammatical construct of "affirmative action beneficiary" you would be able to see clearly what is going on here.<br />Larry Sheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653436584890594776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-8281521716176052562015-11-10T15:15:17.731-08:002015-11-10T15:15:17.731-08:00"There is no field more brutally demanding of..."There is no field more brutally demanding of the days and hours of an individual's life than big-time law.

It looks like she's got the crazy uncle Bernie properly boxed in as "too progressive", so maybe ambitious women can rise to the top after motherhood, as grandmothers.<br /><br />I don't know if Hillary thinks women can "have it all", or if she advocate that. It is a curious thing for anyone to imagine they could be president.<br /><br />My 11th grade history teacher joked women's right to vote in 1920 helped get Warren Harding elected in 1920 and got us the Teapot Dome scandal, perhaps our first big time Executive Order president?<br /><br />There are still people today, men and women, who think it was a mistake to give women the right to vote. I suppose if Hillary was elected just in time for the second great depression, that might stain all women's chances to become president for a long time. <br /><br />Maybe women will feel so humiliated at Hillary's incompetence that they'll give up their suffrage and let men decide from now on? Could we yet reverse the 19th amendment? Maybe after we reverse Roe vs Wade?<br /><br />Oh, we can imagine so much fun, to explain why women should go back home and make babies for us men so we can run the world in peace.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.com
