Appeals to the court of public opinion

A Bloomberg piece about the number of Hispanic Cabinet members caught my eye today. Everyone is putting pressure on Senator Obama to ensure that he appoints a diverse Cabinet. As well they should.
With the appointment of Bill Richardson to Secretary of Commerce, Obama has tapped only one Hispanic Cabinet member thus far. (And not everyone [...]

I am not here to build a community. I am a thought leader in the pursuit of individual rights. When anyone or any group seeks to infringe on civil liberties, I will call them out.
Proposition 8 recently stole the civil rights of the LGBTQ community in California. It was passed with an amazing amount of [...]

It is a sad day for our country. Same-sex marriage bans have been passed by idiotic hateful voters in California, Florida and Arizona.
I have to remain hopeful, but these people are likely reproducing and spreading their hate. Same-sex marriage bans are simply the result of Abrahamic androcentric villians having their way with individual rights.
Separate but equal [...]

I voted for Obama. I agonized about it. In the end, the race was for President. If Palin were at the top of the Republican ticket, I would have voted for her in a heartbeat. I know I have been all over the map in this blog but I feel that any thinking voter would [...]

I’m voting for a woman for president. Why? Because the equality of women is the most important issue facing humanity. I’ll say it again, the equality of women is the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE facing humanity.
Not the engineered financial “crisis,” not the occupation of Iraq, not racism, nothing else even comes close to gender equality. If [...]

I think I understand the sentiment behind the slavish devotion to Obama. I voted for Bill Clinton in ’92 and ’96.I know that this country is fucked, and that W. was at the helm during our demise. And because of that, people will do anything to not have another Republican in the White House. 
I also [...]

I am responsible for the care and upbringing of my young children, and yet I am willing to be less of a parent to satisfy my selfish political ambitions.
I have absolutely no foreign policy experience.
The highest political office I have held is the governor of a small state.
Finally, I am the youngest governor ever elected [...]

Obama didn’t choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate. I’d wager that 18 million voters disagree with his decision.
If he can’t even change the gender politics within his own party, why does anyone think he can unite the United States?
For those of you reading this who are thinking, “that’s preposterous, Obama isn’t sexist.” Ask yourself [...]

I voted for Hillary. I might vote for Sarah Palin. But damn Palin makes it hard to like her. Anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage. Anti-Iranian nuculear (sic). But what she really is is just the flip side of the statist/collectivist coin. 
I disagreed with Hillary on almost every issue too. Therefore, in the interest of getting a woman President [...]

Total number of women presidents: 0.
Total number of women Supreme Court Justices: 2.
(Out of 110 in total, or 1.8%.)
Total number of women in Congress: 246.
(88 are currently in office or approximately 16 percent.) 
Total number of women governors: 29.
Total number of women mayors: 127.
(262 cities in the U.S. with populations over 100,000.)
Shameful.
Women are the most oppressed people on the planet, [...]
