Or are you applying a different standard? <br /><br />Because I'm not aware of a whole lot of gender/race/income prohibitions on voting these days. And I'm not aware of a whole lot of prohibitions on speaking your mind either. If the street corner isn't good enough, you can always start a blog. Don't have a computer? Go to the library.<br /><br />"Privilege" is leftist code for "I want to discriminate against a class of people, but can't actually justify it with a valid argument."W.B.

Not that any Liberal's POV is being accurately reflected in that description.<br /><br />I've never heard the comparison between campaign promises, but if I had to guess, the reason isn't as nefarious as is being insinuated. The Left represents Liberals, yes, but it is also the party of those who would be disenfranchised, if they, or their elected leaders did not fight for those rights. Examples include immigration rights, gay rights, civil rights for women and POC - people who by either overt disenfranchisement (preventing poor people from voting) or simply lack of privilege (in terms of race/sex/income, ie. white male privilege) would not have a voice, or as much of a voice.my name is Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484587200951022679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-82012227902406064652010-04-27T12:56:17.962-05:002010-04-27T12:56:17.962-05:00Isn't sterotyping and bigotry supposed to wron...Isn't sterotyping and bigotry supposed to wrong?
