"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."

Bitter Clingers Do Vote (Psssttt.... Some of us are atheists, who don't even own guns.)

Anglachel NAILS IT about us "bitter clingers."

From the link:

But the Stevensonians have reified the concept of racism into a demographic - the bitter white working class - and have identified that group as the traitors to the good and the just, the filthy apes who once were true to the party but followed the siren call of Reagan racism and now delight in their infamy. The proof of this betrayal is that they voted for another Bubba when given a chance, someone all the Very Serious People know was trying to rise out of his place. The wretched, bitter Bunkers, clinging to guns and God, they are doing The Precious in. Never mind, as per Bartel and Krugman, that the working class whites were the least likely to defect from the Democratic party and were the first to return when offered something material.


By "Stevensonians" I assume Anglachel is referring to the Obamacrats. As a sort of "new Stevensonian." Because boy does that description fit them. (They do insult us mid-westerners with relish.)

But I've got news for the Stevensonian Obamacrats....

"Bitter Clingers" vote! Every year. (Unlike their fly-by-night "Obama coalition.")

And we're fightin' mad.

And... well...

Well, heckie darn, some of us are atheists who don't even own guns.

Nowhere to Go in This Upcoming Election, Sorry to Disappoint

Like Femisex, SYD simply cannot abide the Politics of sucking up to Religious Fundies.

Of any stripe.

Which means, essentially, that I have nowhere to go in the upcoming election.

This weekend, so far, I have been visited by the Democratic party (at my door) twice. They are polling to see if we plan to vote.

DH tells them he's not voting at all. And I tell them "only for women."

Needless to say.... it didn't go over well. Wonder if they'll be back today???
