However, you are right. The cries and tears and hair on fire rants over NSA are overdone. The issue is being blasted loudly and angrily here and by the Pauls of the world. Where were they when VAWA was the topic, where were they? They were AWOL!
You are correct, half the population is female. Did they stand for us, did they fight for us. No they were silent. As for the GOP they have tried everything to suppress us, deny us and take our civil liberties away. The outrage was silence.
Beautiful quote by JFK, thank you~
“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”
