The ongoing Political Musings of a former (now Stray) Yellar Dawg Dem.
***Warning***
This is a Feminist Blog, in the tradition of Susan B. Anthony.
"Just Tell Them...
I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."
And to Gina at Team Sarah for sending me this response:
Look, I am not one to wear my patriotism on my sleeve. But, I have family members in the military ... and I don't think their mother (my cousin) should have to be subjected to what Debbie McLucas was. On Memorial Day, of all days!
And I don't really care if someone else is "offended." If s/he doesn't like the American flag... and wasn't even born here.... the question begs to be answered: Why is s/he here?
In "real life" Dawg is a mom, a nurse, a pet rescuer and a tireless advocate for animal rights.
Dawg is happily married for thirty years and has raised three awesome children. She holds an advanced degree in Family Science, wherein her research was focused on women's support circles during parturition. Her dedication to Women's Rights is directly affected by her belief that motherhood should not be a sentence to isolation and disenfranchisement.
Dawg is on hiatus from political bloggery d/t the intense demands of her engagement in the No Kill movement at this time. However, she remains influenced by PUMA politics and reads the blogs of her fellow PUMAs (at right) regularly.
