Too right! It’s too bad that this came out too soon for her to address (I read elsewhere that she had just met with Karzai and/or didn’t have full details at the time):

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/04/silence_meets_despair_of_afgha.html

‘Afghan President Hamid Karzai has just signed a law that forces women to obey their husbands’ sexual demands, keeps women from leaving the house — even for work or school — without a husband’s permission, automatically grants child custody rights to fathers and grandfathers before mothers, and favors men in inheritance disputes and other legal matters. In short, the law again consigns Afghan women to lives of brutal repression.

‘”This is really, really dangerous for everybody in Afghanistan,” Soraya Sobhrang of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission said in a telephone interview from Kabul. Noting that violence against women already is rampant, Sobhrang said the new law effectively “legalizes all violence against women in Afghanistan.”

‘The legislation zoomed through Afghanistan’s parliament quickly. Karzai, who faces elections in August, signed it in an apparent effort to placate conservative religious factions.’

Hi:

No, I never saw her/his name. It’s a pretty cool name, though.

Talking/thinking about Hillary …this country would be so much better off with her at the helm. Every time I see her, I think if she were running the country, we wouldn’t be considering $trillion dollar deficits. AND . . . Princess Pelosi would be kept in check.

Hello, Sportsone234, forgot to say the other day that the FR name I was thinking of was ‘springtime4hillary’. Did you get to know that person on their boards?

I so agree with you, Sportsone234! It’s ironic in this age of ‘tolerance’. It’s censorship, from people who fought against it only a generation ago!

Puma for Life, are you referring to Taylor Marsh? Apparently, a lot of people got banned there once the DNC had made its decision.

Puma for Life:

How sad. Are we so deeply divided, so over sensitive and closed off that we cannot allow differing opinions? Assuming for a moment that your comments were respectfully written, the outright banning of an opposing point of view . . . without warning or explanation is unacceptable behavior . . . dangerous where the free exchange of ideas should be welcomed, encouraged, defended.

I was banned from a forum that I had been posting at for a very long time with no complaints or warnings. Suddenly, banned, no explanation. They refused to reply to my requests for an explanation. Probably for the best. I was spending too much time there and it really isn’t that exciting. But, I think the least they can do is tell you why you’re banned. I thought it was crude.

You’re right about the PUMA’s. They rock!!! I’m in awe of their enthusiasm, dedication, and focus.

Hi, Sportsone234. Thanks for your reply. The Freeper I was thinking of was someone else. Agree about FR posters’ wicked wit! But, on balance, I think the PUMAs were/are way on the ball before the Freepers were. There’s a load of stuff I learned from the PUMAs a few months ago that FR folks are only just finding out about now.

Hi churchmouse:

Thanks for being a regular reader.

As for FR, I rarely comment up there, although I like posting there (or should I say did) because there is always an opportunity to view a topic from a different perspective.

Besides, one can find people with a wicked wit up there . . . something I appreciate. I love snarkiness (think that’s a word?) when its deserved.

I’m not sure about your question about a name with a “4″, although I sign as sportsone234.

Hi, there! I’m a regular reader of your blog. Loved these two posts on your FR experience. Thanks for the inside scoop. Did you post with a name that had ’4′ in it? If so, they were good comments. I only started lurking there post-election but was always happy to see a PUMA post. I think there might only be one other PUMA on FR, not sure.
