Just a little food for thought:

Post by valerie »

This didn't seem to really fit the other threads so I put it here.

Don't have a source yet if I get one I'll certainly post it:

Subject: Different outlooks

If you're a minority and you're selected for a job over more qualified

candidates you're a "token hire."

If you're a conservative and you're selected for a job over more qualified

candidates you're a "game changer."

Black teen pregnancies? A "crisis" in black America.

White teen pregnancies? A "blessed event."

If you grow up in Hawaii you're "exotic."

Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, you're the quintessential "American

story."

Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you're "unpatriotic."

Name your kid Track, you're "colorful."

If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the

individual you're "reckless."

A Republican who doesn't fully vett is a "maverick."

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization from

a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then become the

first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration

drive that registers 150,000 new African American voters, spend 12 years as

a Constitutional Law professor, then spend nearly 8 more years as a State

Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman of

the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, then spend nearly 4

years in the United States Senate representing a state of nearly 13 million

people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and

Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you are woefully

inexperienced.



If you spend 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town

with less than 7,000 people, then spend 20 months as the governor of a state

with 650,000 people, then you've got the most executive experience of anyone

on either ticket, are the Commander in Chief of the Alaska military and are

well qualified to lead the nation should you be called upon to do so because

your state is the closest state to Russia.



If you are a Democratic male candidate who is popular with millions of

people you are an "arrogant celebrity".

If you are a popular Republican female candidate you are "energizing the

base".

If you are a younger male candidate who thinks for himself and makes his own

decisions you are "presumptuous".

If you are an older male candidate who makes last minute decisions you

refuse to explain, you are a "shoot from the hip" maverick.

If you are a candidate with a Harvard law degree you are "an elitist-out of

touch" with the real America.

if you are a legacy (dad and granddad were admirals) graduate of Annapolis,

with multiple disciplinary infractions, you are a hero.



If you manage a multi-million dollar nationwide campaign, you are an "empty

suit".

If you are a part time mayor of a town of 7000 people, you are an

"experienced executive".

If you go to a south side Chicago church, your beliefs are"extremist".

If you believe in creationism and don't believe global warming is man made,

you are "strongly principled".

If you kill an endangered species, you're an excellent hunter.

If you have an abortion your not a Christian, you're a murderer (forget

about if it happen while being date raped.)

If you teach abstinence only in sex education, you get teen parents.

If you teach responsible age appropriate sex education, including the proper

use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

And finally:

Quiz question for the RNC, specifically those on the Religious Right.

Who is one of the most revered, and famous community organizers in history?

I'm clapping and I think the anwers the other posters gave were insulting and sexist. I'm curious, why MEN think women are less intelligent?
