Another question: can someone explain to me what exactly Annette King did or didn't do that causes so many people to unquestioningly accept and support her so much?

Low or no thresholds are what allowed Hitler into goverment and brought endlessly unstable governments to places like Italy an Israel. The reason for setting a 5% threshhold like Germany's was that that had delivered stable coalition governments for many years.

"Arab", yes; "Arab terrorist", no.Did you just make that up? According to this article Obama had a white mother, a Kenyan father, an Indonesian step father and he was brought up in Hawaii.

And just to restore the self respect of we ladies, here's an interesting comment on tax credits from Mary Holm

Anyway, if you want a relaxing day, don't feel compelled to read her delusional ramblings. Although they are a fascinating study of immature entitlement in the pampered boomer.
Too late. I somehow couldn't stop my crap loving mouse from clicking on the link! You have to admire her though for her mastery of the great illogical leap.
