Spreading the Wealth

Who are we kidding; capitalism redistributes wealth as surely as socialism. Capitalism left unchecked redistributes wealth from the pockets of the poor and middle class to the pockets of the wealthy. Our economic system benefits the rich and penalizes the poor. It's expensive to be poor. The least the government can do is limit the plundering. If the government can also ease the burden a bit, what's so wrong with that? Where do you think the poor and middle class spend their dollars? Paris?  Read more >

I've always thought of myself as an issues voter. I don't have any one issue that determines how I vote; my vote is shaped by the constellation of issues I consider to be most important in a given election cycle. Or so I thought. It took this election year for me to realize that I'm a values voter.  Read more >

Tell me. Where is the real John McCain? I found this by far McCain's most disturbing performance in a debate. It was like he drank a potion that changed him from McCain to McNasty. Another chance to talk substance, and instead he spent most of his time either attempting to terraform Obama's plans to suit his own needs or else engaging in character assassination. When McCain won the Republican nomination, I never thought his campaign would look like this. The man I respected has disappeared.  Read more >

About Me: 

I spent most, but not all, of my growing-up years in rural Montana. While I was raised socially and religiously conservative, I was raised by parents who allowed questions and differing beliefs from their children. Consequently, by the time I was twenty I was on my way to becoming a feminist.

I consider myself to be a Christian Liberation feminist. I consider myself to be Pro-life, but I believe the effort should be directed towards the reduction (or elimination) of the causes of abortion, not the elimination of legal abortion. I believe that the separation of church and state should not eliminate religion or religious discourse from the public sphere. I am an independant at heart, but tend to vote Democrat. As for the liberal/moderate/conservative designation, I consider myself to be...independent.

I am currently living overseas.
