Proof positive that Republicans are GIRLY MEN:

(...) On a deeper level, the ascendancy of the male-dominated family as the highest moral value for the fundie Christians also functions primarily to keep the Republicans in power by encouraging people to seek out paternalism in their leaders, which the Republicans are only too happy to provide. (See: George Lakoff.) Consider this verse that the Southern Baptists are notoriously fond of:

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

It's a model of marriage where an adult woman essentially chooses her mate (in theory, she does so carefully) and then puts all her trust in him to guide her. It seems to me that this model is being used by a lot of people to understand their relationship to the President -- they chose him when they voted for him, so it's downright immoral now not to trust his judgement. As leader, he's the ultimate Husband to a nation, and it's not our place as the collective Wife to question him. (...)

There you have it. Somebody should tell Ahnuld.

1. Interesting theory. But it doesn't explain why they hated Clinton so much

After all, its not their place to question him.

That's what bothers me so much about all this "we must support our president" bullshit.

Where were these people back in 1996 when he was trying to take measures to prevent terrorism, or in 1998 when he was being impeached?

2. Why, because Clinton was not "their" husband.

Clinton was that heathen demonic husband from that disgusting heretic family down the road who broke in and took charge while Daddy was distracted.

And then Prince Charming slew the Beast (with the help of five wholesome, black-clad knights), kissed them in the mouth to wake them from that horrid liberal slumber, and they lived happily ever after.

How on Earth could anybody question such an heroic man? :puke:

3. too far out for them

Interesting theory. But it doesn't explain why they hated Clinton so much

Hillary made the remark about "two for one." That sent them into a frenzy. BC let it be known theirs was an equal partnership and Hillary's record of accomplishment reinforced that. The wingnutz rejected the Clintons out of hand. Never for a moment did they consider them as our leaders. They were just too far out of their mental grasp.

10. actually it does explain why they hated Clinton so much

Clinton did not govern with an iron fist. Clinton sought and took in other view points before making a decision.

4. There's just one problem

And that being a rather large turd floating around in their swimming pool of thought....the people didn't choose or elect this pResident, the Supreme Court did.

5. Now that sounds like the Middle East and the Middle Ages

Great for men and every one should read 'Every One Needs a Wife'

[Skidmore]

6. The nation is not just the "collective Wife" right now but the

"collective abused Wife". We need to find a safe house fast and petition for divorce.

7. well if my husband allowed my children to starve, go without

medical care, and force a shitty education (note! Nothing against teachers most try their damnedest to give our children quality educations, unfortunately they aren't given all the tools to do this), forced our children to kill innocents and risk their lives for a lie, you can bet your ass I would be divorcing (impeaching) his worthless ass.

Does this mean my husband and I can quit working while our collective husband brings home the bacon for us?

[No Exit]

8. I WANT A DIVORCE!!!

9. why oh why oh why

use a female term in a derogatory way? Particularly when your point is about paternalism. Why put all women down when you are talking about certain MEN as the problem?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Why, to hit where it hurts THEM.

Edit: Also, that was a spoof on Schwarzenegger, who called Democrats "girly men." Remember that?

[meg]

13. I remember where it came from ...

Schwarzenegger is obviously a misogynistic pig. Thanks for the reply. Still, you wouldn't call them 'niggers' or 'dykes' or 'fags' would you? The same logic applies with those epithets.

11. I've always said..

... that anyone who was afraid of Saddam Hussein should find their mommy's skirt to hide under.
