A Republican thing, not a southern thing

It's easy to come to the conclusion that attacking transgender people is a "southern thing," but that's not true. It's a Republican thing...a Daddy Party thing.

In real life situations, transgender kids most often find more support from their mothers than they do from their fathers. Fathers tend to have real problems with gender concepts.

In Warwick Rhode Island, transgender girl at Pilgrim High School who has been attacked on social media by a former Republican candidate for mayor because the school administration is allowing her to use facilities which accord with her gender identity.

Please Tell Me, Hillary: Do You Support Late-Term Abortion Exceptions for ALL Doomed Pregnancies?

Dear Hillary,

I recently published a diary, [Daily Kos] Hillary Clinton, the Feminist who is Open to Taking Choice out of "Pro-Choice." It tells the story of Taylor Mahaffey, a woman denied modern medical care by doctors who were in tears; their hands were tied by late-term abortion “pregnancy” regulations (as you now call them) in the state of Texas. The article also tells my own story: a woman who discovered after 20 weeks that my fetus would not survive due to severe fetal anomalies. If late-term “pregnancy” regulations had been in effect in my state, I too might have suffered like Taylor, [Daily Kos] a woman forced to continue a doomed pregnancy against her will and against the advice of her doctors. That possibility still haunts me today. I speak out now in an attempt to prevent future women from suffering. How can I live with myself if I do not?

Whoa! 91.41% of Bernie Sanders supporters will NOT support Hillary Clinton if she is nominee!

I have spent the last three months compiling data over three separate surveys. At 95% confidence, and within a 3.7% +/- margin of error, 91.41% of Bernie Sanders supporters will not be voting for Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee.

More, not less, uphill

An ad for something I don't remember said of a spelling bee, in passing as the bee was going on in the background and the ad wasn't for literacy, "...like words you don't need to use anymore" of a four syllable word "ambrosia." That celebrates pig ignorance, encourages pride in stupidity. The ad was, I *think, for food Fast food. Non-GMO poison. Utterly non-nutritious (oh my, another 3-1/2 to 4 syllable word) crap that people use to fill their guts that they don't have to learn how to prepare for themselves. Crap that costs them more than twice what it would if they made it from scratch. Bad nutrition. A veritable (that's four syllables, folks) PAEAN - hymn of praise, not to a deity but to a word, "food". IOW, it's not only a "word you don't need to use anymore" but also ::gasp!:: heresy.
