the thing that really gets me with this broad is she has only been out of the country once in her life (not including canada but that cant really count). wow what an enlightened world view you must have!
Yeah the abstinence-only plan hasn't proven to be successful at all. After it was implemented in Texas schools, teen pregnancies skyrocketed. And now, 1 in 4 teen girls in the US have or have had an STI.Little Boh Peep wrote:Nice to see the abstinence-only rhetoric she spouts worked out so well for her daughter!
This is so true, lots of people think i am just being all pissy and commie when i describe new labour as being thatcherites, but if you look at what they are doing...Tomity wrote:The middle ground is a term they've come up with. It basically means all the parties are right wing. Maggie did an awful lot of damage but Labour haven't changed her policies, they've just continued them. We are in a situation now where the NHS is going private, the schools are being taken over by companies and most of the social care and councils aren't too far behind. On top of that poverty is rising and all of our fundamental rights have been taken away. In the 80's you could still have a protest, its not even legal now...Slothrop wrote:I hate nu-lab as much as the next guy, but that just isn't true. At the moment they're all vying for the middle ground, but Thatcher was somewhere to the right of Ghengis Khan.Tomity wrote:A name is just a name.

my thoughts exactly. and now she's parading daughter and husband-to-be around like show ponies.Little Boh Peep wrote:Nice to see the abstinence-only rhetoric she spouts worked out so well for her daughter!
"Maggie: Her Fatal Legacy was published earlier this month and opens with Blair voicing his own admiration for Thatcher and revealing that he had been in "reasonably regular" contact with her throughout his premiership. More tellingly, the PM reveals to Sergeant that Thatcher proved invaluable during the Kosovo crisis of 1999 when, having agreed to launch a joint US-UK air attack on Serb forces, Blair faced mounting international criticism. Thatcher told him to ignore the carping, stay resolute and get the job done."Slim wrote: people think i am just being all pissy and commie when i describe new labour as being thatcherites, but if you look at what they are doing...
Apart from Russia (and only for a few years under Lenin) there has never been a socialist/communist state. It makes me laugh when people say china is a communist state. They're the worlds biggest exporters of genuine tat.Slim wrote: Same with china, not that i really have had any respect for their government since... forever, but that is about as far from socialism as you can really get.

you're dissenting right now.seckle wrote:fox news is the biggest circus imaginable. i can't believe that they have the audacity to say that their convention was "victorious". this convention just underlined the divide in not only morality in thsi country, but in the basic notion of dissent, and what it means to be a citizen that chooses to dissent. i feel that "family values" is sort of the paint that the republicans use to coat over everything they do, no matter how ugly it can be.
complete disgrace.
