GOP Doubling Down [View all]

The GOP is doubling down on the war on women. They seem to be ready to pass more and more onerous laws. I do believe that women and men of conscience will be faced with going to the streets and confronting republicans personally. What bothers me is that they are smug and giddy about trashing women's rights. And somehow we are going to have to wipe that smug right off their little faces.

In the end it looks like women and men of conscience are going to have to develop a new and personal militancy against the GOP.
What is so amazing is how the RW now plans to form organizations to attack women incessantly now using religion as a cover for their despicable deeds.
