As feminism has elevated the status of women, it has necessarily diminished the relative status of men. Fewer high-status men are available--and given the revealed male preference for sexual variety, they're likely also less willing to commit.

Feminism has diminished the romantic prospects of today's young women--and that is true even if, as McClintock suggests, socioeconomic homogamy trumps female hypergamy. As we noted last March, women graduating from American colleges increasingly outnumber men; the ratio fast approaches 3 to 2.

...

They suggest just as strongly, and to our mind more plausibly, that the traditional marital division of labor is better attuned to the biological differences between the sexes than is its reverse. If that's true, then the continuing march of feminism can be expected to leave many more unhappy women and men in its wake. Happy Valentine's Day.

Obama is aping 1934 Germany. He realizes that he can't control the economy through socialism and is now turning to Fascism. He is noting more than a two bit Nazi. I can only hop he lives a long a painful life followed by a lingering violent death. The man hates America.

As I recall, in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow," a group of people is attempting to survive a period of intense cold in the NY Public Library. Naturally, they start burning books to keep warm. The atheist character ultimately consigns Nietzsche to the flames - perhaps the last surviving copies of Nietzsche's work. Shockingly, he retains a Gutenberg Bible - because it represents the dawn of the age of reason.

I think the point is obvious. If all of Western Civilization were to be suddenly destroyed, what ONE THING would you choose to save? With the Bible, you could rebuild all the rest.

The King James Bible stands as perhaps the most influential version of the Bible, and thus is one of the most important bases of Western Civ.

[In response to the comment "I'd save an Encyclopedia":]

An encyclopedia won't help you develop the belief that time is linear, that the universe was created by a rational being and therefore can be rationally studied, or that a man has unalienable rights. It also won't inspire Handel's Messiah or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The list goes on.

Plus, they won't let you bring the entire set of encylopedias on the evac helicopter!

Google, "Gay is not the new black". It's an editorial, that was published by several newspapers, I think in July. Don't try to capitalize on real human misery. The subjugation of a race is no no way to be likened to a society that has moral standards. Every gaybo who spouts the nonsense you just vomited forth is one lowlife lying sack. You display a gross disrespect for the sufferings of blacks when you compare a gene to a despicable lifestyle. Go back to the closet, and keep quiet, and we won't bother you. Come out in public and try to convince real people that you are "normal", or that you are comparable to a race, and you can expect to be spit on. It's happened EVERY TIME the VOTERS get the opportunity to speak.
And, the VOTERS are sick of you buying off our judges and politiicans.

Good deal, Maine voters. Gay "rights" activists whine about "rights" - but like so many people, forget about "responsibility". The navel gazers can only think about what they want, and never consider how their wants might affect society at large. There appears to be correlation between increasing gay rights, and decreasing fertility both in the US and in Europe. Causation has not been established - but, how do you establish cause? Do you wait til civilization collapses to prove causation? The fact is, fertility rates fall in correlattion with increased gay rights. Meanwhile - more virile and fertile peoples invade both the US and Europe from the south. Peoples who reject homosexuality.
Given free reign, the gay community and the invading hordes will destroy our homelands. Count on it.
I congratulate the people of Maine for rejecting the sacrilege of gay marriage.

[Apparently, saying "Happy Holidays" is the cause of our economic recession]
It has been my view that the steady secularizing and insistent effort at dereligioning America has been dangerous. That danger flashed red in the fall into subprime personal behavior by borrowers and bankers, who after all are just people. Northerners and atheists who vilify Southern evangelicals are throwing out nurturers of useful virtue with the bathwater of obnoxious political opinions.

The point for a healthy society of commerce and politics is not that religion saves, but that it keeps most of the players inside the chalk lines. We are erasing the chalk lines.

Feel free: Banish Merry Christmas. Get ready for Mad Max.

[On a McCain ad that compares Obama to the Anti-Christ)

The End Times, a New Testament reference to the period surrounding the return of Christ, were popularized in recent years by the "Left Behind" series of books that sold more than 63 million copies. The Rev. Tim LaHaye, co-author of the series, said in an interview that he recognized allusions to his work in the ad but comparisons between Sen. Obama and the antichrist are incorrect.

"The antichrist isn't going to be an American, so it can't possibly be Obama. The Bible makes it clear he will be from an obscure place, like Romania," the 82-year-old author said.
