a second shrub term would be The Haidmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood

Read the book or see the movie. If the American Taliban takes over, women will lose rights, too.

A month or 2 ago, a freeper winger called in and said women shouldn't be allowed to vote ( I guess because women tend to favor Kerry ).

If they can pass an amendment for Defense of Marriage, they can revoke our right to vote.

1. And that horrible nightmare depicted the Handmaids Tale
has not ever been far from my awareness during these past 3 to 4 years.

2. Either that or we'll end up like "Iron Heel" or "It can't Happen Here".
None a "good" outcome...

3. Federalist Society judges would
allow the religious zealots to make women second class citizens. And they'd probably undo many of the 60's civil rights stuff too. I do not trust my future to any of these idiots.
