She nails it (them) again! The war on women is not ebbing, it is growing stronger.
Will we soon hear of a bill that denies women the right to vote?

for a while, and I hope I'm wrong, but they've made a few comments that made me wonder.

The party will never exist again after that.

Think about who they've blown it with

African Americans: Check
Latino Americans: Check
GLBT Americans: Check
Independent voters: Check
Asian Americans: Check (well at least I think so, I don't know of any GOP supporting Asians)

And now women.

What they do have are the vulture capitalists and moneyed king makers plus the crazy Christian fundies.

that the first successful European settlers and conquerors in America were theocrats, the resiliency of stupidity in power is less an affront to the intellect. Also, the fact that such people fought tooth and nail against the Enlightenment and a secular American republic, and continue to do so, is less incomprehensible.

Born Cristoforo Colombo, Christopher Columbus was as much a pirate as any other of his contemporaries whom have been immortalized as heroes.

From the Native American POV, they were pirates killing, raping, marauding and destroying the Native Peoples as they went along.
Of course those traditions have not died.

Too hurt themselves as badly as possible as fast as possible...

Might I suggest...
a romantic soak in the hot tub with running air conditioner.
disguise yourself as a trailer park and stalk Oklahoma storm systems.
Open the Iranian branch of the Zionist LGBT Alliance and pork wholesaler.
Wander around the Kenai Peninsula just after the bears emerge from hibernation wearing a lovely Honey mustard sauce.
