Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote.

I'm sorry. Is insanity too strong a word? How about we go with foolish, irrational, senseless, absurd, folly, reckless, stupid, and/or crazy? That seems to fit any woman who would knowingly and consciously decide to vote for the Tea Party platform.

She votes as I instruct her.  She's wise enough to know that politics are man's domain.

And MEN DRIVE :contract:

Ah, I see. There's the problem. The above bolded part isn't in play. Easier to control when kept stupid, aren't they? Just curious: Are you planning to let your daughter go to school past the fifth grade? Might want to consider yanking her before then, actually, now that I think about it, or maybe even homeschool her. Wouldn't want her to think that she's an equal, would we?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Incorrect. Best she see how fucked up everyone else is in public school so she'll value the teachings and examples at home all the more.
PDH!

I saw your pic. You are a fugly fat troll with a pedo stache. Was your mailorder bride really that desperate or did you corce her?

Foul play.  Unnecessary stupidity, the Pole goes back 10 yards.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Is it time to resurrect: THUNDERDOME?!

Someone contact KAP, ITBitch, and CCR.
PDH!

Oh, I think Marty's set the Pole back quite a bit more than ten yards.  :lol:

Umm... I thought equal rights meant you could vote for whomever you want to vote, not whomever the feminist orthodoxy approves of.

Spicy and Ed are of course just trolling you, but I'm sure you understand this one chowderhead is not a spokesman for the tea party movement as a whole.

Nah, not really.  She just doesn't care about politics (believe it or not, some women just have other things they care about a lot more).  FWIW, the brief moments where I've gotten her to discuss politics with me, she tends to agree with me. 

If I left her alone she'd probably just not vote.  But she knows how important is to me so she's happy to vote and do so for the same candidates I choose.

She'll have whatever she wants.

When a woman is allowed to think for herself, she comes up with silly ideas like how women's suffrage ruined the country because all the women she's worked with are bitches.  :nelson:
