as someone who buys into all that "men are created equal" and "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness jazz", i think that anyone who expects you to accept lesser citizenship for any reason is full of crap and just plain un-american

oh, heavens ... don't ever accept political expediency as justification for lesser citizenship! that is how we've ended up with two major parties, one right wing and the other right wingier, that are organized around the interests of wealthy campaign donors, not the people

the privileges of marriage are not just the tax-breaking thing ... married people, and their children, are able to share their partners' health insurance policies ... they can make medical and financial decisions for one another ... they are eligible for the pension/ss benefits that their partners have earned ... and…

the president has finally figured out that the people who hate gay and lesbian americans enough to actively interfere with their most fundamental pursuit of happiness aren't going to vote for him, while those of us who believe in equality for all citizens would be re-inspired to support him if he came out against the…

and the death penalty for adulterers? nothing says "sanctity" like the death penalty

to be fair, 50% of them also ate divorce decree-shaped canapés

if you stand on the bus during rush hour in chicago, it may even count as dating

if mitten's campaign is profiting from "abortions", i don't want any of my tax dollars going to support it ... let him pay for his own secret service protection

frost knows that, no matter what the christo-fascists and political whores like romney say, women will use plan b ... because they need it ... and if the republicans have their way with this country, making it impossible to feed, clothe, house and educate a child, women will need it even more

uh ... duh ... women aren't supposed to date casually ... and those four who are participating had better still be virgins ... unless, of course, they are bringing the slut factor

"when we leap to clinton's — or any woman's — defense, are we buying into the flawed notion that a woman's aesthetic appearance is something worthy of defense?"

with global warming and the destruction of the ozone, this is probably a good time to hand over the reigns anyway ... let people of color take the blame, and "the causcasians" can be all "there were no water wars when we were in power"

you are right ... such a comparison does suggest, painfully incorrectly, that we are right on blacks in america, that they are the lucky, lucky ones ... but i do understand why minhaj used it

demon spawn

thank you for reminding me that the alternative to parenting isn't like living perpetually in one's 20's, feasting on a neverending banquet of potential and possibilities ... i, too, need to focus more on my blessings

well, yoana, the sort of folks who weep and wail for "the caucasians" aren't too keen on evolution theory ... they don't want change, they don't give a damn if the fittest survive ... forget the survival of the species ... they want to maintain the status quo, in which they get the lion's share of everything, and…

much appreciated

i think "the caucasians" fear losing the advantages of dominance ... just like "the christians" ... and so they perceive any diminishment of their presence as a threat, even if they still have so much more power and influence than everyone else

for what it is worth, parenthood does not cure or prevent loneliness ... it creates it
