I disagree. I also think a lot of women are liberal because they are more concerned about social issues and long term issues, like the environment and education, because historically and even still women are taught to be family-oriented (men are more so now than before, but that didn't use to be the standard way of bringing up boys).
(another huge generalization ahead) Women also tend to be more social active, making decisions cooperatively and inclusively, caring as much about "the group" as individual interests. This means they think as much about the "greater good" for the country as how to line their own pocketbooks. Saving money for the individual is great, but women also think about what that may cost for our children and our future. Many men also think that way - but I think that is why so many women have liberal leanings...
As for the terrorism issue... Frecks, we can't just blow up the rest of the world. It isn't going to go away no matter how many countries we attack. Many of the terrorists are our neighbors, and many of the terrorists are CREATED by our own militant actions. We need a strong voice against terrorists and terrorist attacks, but simply "going to war against terrorism" isn't going to eliminate it. No matter how much you hate muslims (you really need to work on that, btw), attacking them won't get rid of terrorism.

Hey - I said they were generalizations! ;D Not all women think that way, nor are all men out to line their own pockets. And if it is a guilt trigger, wouldn't you agree it is a trigger most women are installed with quite a bit by society? And frankly... I wish everyone was! I think a little looking out for each other goes a long way!

If they are easily led masses, they will be led by someone! Prefer it be someone with the good of us all and our future at heart, rather than someone just looking to keep as much of their inherited... er, I mean... hard-won (yeah, thats what I meant) money in their own pockets!

AND Many Terrorists want to Kill Us because we were Born
Because you dont wear a Blanket over your head with peep holes to see through
Just because of that, they want to kill you and your family
You did not attack them
Yet, they still want to Kill You
And they have every intent on doing so
Except for our Solders in the Military who prevent them from doing just that.
Obama wants our solders to not have bullets in thier guns
That is what Jimmy Carter did
And we have dead solders to prove it

When Muslem Leaders and Religious People say that OK - there is a certain amount of truth to that one. There needs to be a MUCH more vehement denouncing of these assholes by the mainstream Mulim communities. They need to separate themselves from the fringe as much as possible and publicly put forward that there IS a difference. Just expecting people to see that is wishful thinking. They are going to have to MAKE people see it.

They are going to have to MAKE people see it. Yes, I agree. Much more needs to be done. Also, a wider education of Muslims themselves would be beneficial. Its being done in places like the UK. But people also need to realise that the Middle East is not the mouth piece for the millions of other Muslims around the world. It's certainly not the mouth-piece for me, my friends and family. Its not the mouth-piece for ANY Muslim I know. Frecks, your views are astounding sometimes. If there were more people with your views this world would probably be on the way to its sixth world war.
