Liberalism is a religion to these people. They are ideologues in search of a utopian, statist society. Anything that threatens the momentum toward utopia must be destroyed. This ideology arises from a mixture of arrogance and ignorance. Barnard Student ’13, you are a perfect embodiment of this attitude. I would like you to tell me (without name calling) why Republicans are anti women? Abortion you say? Women are split evenly in their support for abortion just as men are. There is no distributional difference. How about access to free birth control? Let me ask you something, Barnard Student ’13, why birth control? Why not free mammograms? Why not free visits to the OBGYN? More broadly, last time I checked, women get sick too. They get heart disease, diabetes, cancer. Why then do the Democrats believe women want birth control more than any other preventative care? Maybe Republicans are anti women because they don’t support equal pay for equal work. Barnard Student ’13, if you knew a lick of history, you’d know that under the Equal Pay Act of 1963, employers are required to compensate employees equally for the same job and the same hours worked as well as quality. But what about the Lilly Ledbetter Act? This is where you, Barnard Student ’13, are uninformed. Do you even know what the Act does? Of course not as it is just one of your party’s talking points. The Lilly Ledbetter Act extends the amount of time under which an employee can file a wage discrimination suit. The previous window of opportunity was 180 days from the first occurrence. Now, the window of opportunity is virtually forever. You can see how this is a slip and fall lawyer’s dream — more crony Capitalism. Under the statute, only 32 cases have been filed since 2010. Basically, this act has done nothing but provide headaches to employers and opportunity to ambulance chasers. As the cool kids say these days — Truth.

Is this typically how liberals react when faced with a dissenting opinion? They call the person names and cry to others for help?

i see no mention of the most pressing issue in this election: that of the unfortunate continued existence of clean water. everyone knows that clean water exerts a terrible influence on our community and society as a whole and yet neither party is brave enough to face this pressing issue at hand and stand up to the evil potability. that is why this election i am writing in the third party that really cares about the issues that matter to me and other every day citizens the most. this election day, write in the clean watery masked fappiness. his bravery is unmatched as evidenced by his willingness to face the powerful entity of bwog and working hard to bring it to its knees as editor-in-chief of the his powerful blog. thousands are already members and following the progress of overturning the societal power dynamic which has placed clean water at the top and pulling all the strings. a vote for democrats or a vote for republicans is a vote for bwog. this year, choose the truth that clean water does in fact sucks, choose the uncloaked mask. long live mao!

Since when did woman’s rights get confused with the right to kill unborn babies, or the right to make someone pay for your stuff? List of actually important woman’s rights: the right to vote, equality under the law, the right to not be stoned to death for getting raped or cheating, etc. You get my point. Women have it better in this country than any other country in the world.

Hey now, our libel laws would be reduced to “don’t insult people”, so you better be careful what you say. Do not think the underlying point has escaped me, just because I’m not a “mainstream” republican candidate. I understand that laws which are too long are just part of the picture. We take a universal stand against supporting things that you haven’t read in their entirety. For example, starting after the third year of our mandate, it will become illegal to vote for a candidate if you haven’t read their life transcript. We see this not only as a direct mitigator of harm, but also a new system of incentives for candidates. Candidates who wish to be voted for must spend the majority of their life living an acetic lifestyle, saying close to nothing, except on issues of sure gravity. Instead of this pathetic mishmash of candidates who have said any old thing over the course of their lifetime (who has time to read through the transcript of every order they made at the drive-through?) instead the free market will create an elite class of uber-candidates, born and bred for their intended purpose, speaking sparingly, built to rule. Surely with them in charge, we won’t have rhetorical imbeciles still walking the political landscape (ahem).

Yes, agreed. In fact, we should take a cue from ancient athenian democracy and require that all laws be short enough to be immediately chiseled into stone by their legislative proponents. Finally, a solution to logrolling (or more summer internships in DC).

“And—to my Democrat friends—it means letting unelected federal bureaucrats decide what “minimum benefits” are, putting abortion coverage for low-income Americans in jeoparady.”

And of course woman’s rights is not even mentioned by the CUCR, or as I like to put it, Columbia University Misogynistic Pig Republicans. Pathetic yet again.
