Tastless -Vile Re's Re: The Ailment that is Destroying Women

As the host of this blog I have avoided commenting on the responses to Ms. Ziemann's article "The Ailment that is Destroying Women." Discourse, debate is the most healthy and patriotic process of assuring that "the people" are heard, one of the elements of Democracy.

What I see now is pure vitriolic cowardice by another sheet wearing "anonymous" creature.

Ms. Zeimann's post is open to criticism both for her positions and for any contradictions she might express. We are all fallible, frail living creatures ... perhaps humans most of all on this precarious planet.

I would bet that "anonymous" is ...

Check out this Democrats.com piece, "Stop Bush's 'October Surprise' Attack on Iran":

Pentagon planners have moved from routine 'contingency' war plans to 'second-stage' war plans. And the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier U.S.S. Eisenhower and its accompanying strike force of cruiser, destroyer and attack submarine are sailing towards Iran.
Why would Bush want war with Iran? To prevent Democrats from sweeping the November elections, as all polls now predict.
"How would Bush start a war?

As of Tuesday night both Internet and TV news shows headlined Bush's new power grab to deny Habeas Corpus to "terror suspects" and to indefinitely detain them anonymously under the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

Background: Bush and Cheney used the infantile organization of al-Qaida's 9/11 terrorist attack to enact laws giving the president sole discretion to use the weapon of military dictatorship upon his arbitrary command.

The process: The majority of Democrats in the Congress of the United States enabled him to do it by allowing him to begin a fraudulent war in Iraq, enact two Patriot Acts, one more negating of the Constitution than the former.

Who Were Responsible? We, the voting public who allowed it.

What is it about these Creepy Christian Conservatives?

First there is the White House Press scandal wherein gay porn star - and hustler for pay - aka, Conservative news reporter Jeff Gannon of whom Daily Kos said:

"... has been extremely anti-gay in his writings. He's been a shill for the Christian right. So there's a certain level of hypocrisy there that I thought was fair game and needed to be called out."

According to the Washington Post,

"In 2003, when Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) told the Associated Press that legalizing gay sex could lead to judicial approval of "man on dog" activities, Gannon wrote a Talon article headlined "Santorum Won't Apologize; AP Reporter Has Kerry Ties."

The question is always on the mind of those observing George W. Bush with a critical eye: Why does he behave the way he does? Why does it seem that he can’t keep track of his own message in speeches and press conferences? Why does he seem to be able not to answer a simple, logical question? Why does he at times seem fuzzy and out of sorts?

Why ...
