Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.

John Boehner's got a lot of Friends

For your consideration, the Friends of John Boehner. In case you haven't heard, Speaker Boehner went along with democrat Chuck Schumer's Ex - Patriot Act meant to stick it to those who renounce citizenship, an ex post facto law extraordinaire. Makes me think that someone who's name started with a Z might have gone off the reservation. The Left Coast Liberal has the outrage, I'll just give you some clues, let your eyes wander down the list and count up the banksters, Big pharm, etc. you'll find. These are the people who pay for such laws that retain power for them and shut you out. Some might have just thrown in money for Boehner, thinking that they were supporting a Republican to reduce the government. Hopefully, they're wiser now.

    Boehner is worthless, less actually. He's in the very next district to me. I know a number of people who will be voting against him.

      He's less than worthless because he's working for the other team. Maybe his voters will put some fear into him. I know that Bart Gordon hasn't returned to TN after his Obamacare vote. He's living with his own kind now, as a DC lobbyist.
