If you oppose the Bush regime or the War on Terror, post this to your journal or blog.

"Liberals don't let liberal friends sleep with conservatives. If they must be so very dense, let them settle for their own hands, closeted gays, and what passes for sexuality among conservative women."

I am a liberal woman and I am proud of being a slut.

You have my sympathy, but ...

You seem to be responding to an argument other than the one that I made. The argument that I made is "Love is more important than politics, because politics is much more transient and less personal: hence it is foolish to decide who to love based on politics."

It was Drewkitty who argued that in the case of liberal women the issue under discussion was mere "lust."

By the way, even if it was only "lust," I wouldn't let politics dictate my choice of who to sleep with. After all, I don't let politics dictate my choice of where to eat, or what clothes to buy.

The personal isn't political. Thank sweet Athena!

And if you pay attention...Drewkitty's post was mostly tongue-in-cheek.

Learn to have a sense of humor when it comes to politics. Or anything.

Don't automatically jump on everything that seems to be a political attack or statement.

This is not about you. This is about having a sense of humor.

Because, being human can be such a tragedy.

Then you lack the courage of your convictions, like a vegetarian who owns a butcher shop or an environmentalist who works for a petroleum distributor.

Liberal women should not sleep with conservative men because such men are opposed to 1) liberals and 2) women. Not necessarily in that order.

I don't care who you want to sleep with. I merely think that responsible people should not sleep with you.

One of my "convictions" happens to be that the personal is far more important than the political.

Liberal women should not sleep with conservative men because such men are opposed to 1) liberals and 2) women. Not necessarily in that order.

"Conservative" men are not "opposed to women."

I don't care who you want to sleep with. I merely think that responsible people should not sleep with you.

My fiancee would be amused -- or angered -- by that thought.

By the way, she's a Democrat.
