Nope, nothing racist or sexist to be seen here.

I am willing to bet that rape would become exceedingly rare if parents taught their sons to give girls and women the respect they are due.

That presumes that the parents have the right values to impart.

A third of the children are brought up by a single parent. I am sure this has a bearing on their upbringing especially for those that live without a mother.

I am going to be having lunch with a very good friend (confirmed right winger) who lives in Carson City, close to Reno/Sparks. I will bring it up and see what he has to say. So thanks in advance Dave.

It's not about women, it's about power.

It's never going to go away until one human doesn't desire to be more powerful than another.

And when is that going to happen?

Never.

Do not forget that the legislature originally voted him in to this leadership post. That more intelligent individuals were able to push him out after he got embarrassing press exposure does not negate that he was the caucus's first choice.

You keep seeing this kind of crap coming out of the mouths of Republicans over and over and over. And I'm not talking about Billy Bob down at the C&W Titty bar either. It's coming from Republicans in leadership positions. And every time we are told that these are just "outliers" and "fringe" elements that don't reflect the thinking of the majority of Republicans. Well, I call bullshit on that.

How predictable...

“The deliberate character assassination and the politics of personal destruction have totally distorted my views and record,” said Mr. Hansen, who owns a plumbing business in Sparks, Nev." NYTimes

Don't these troglodytes realize that the rest of the world can hear them when they let their inner freak speak up?
