NahnCee,

You are caricaturing everything I have written on the subject here. I only make comment on two things, and only two things. The demographics that are cited in the polling data about Obama’s support – where it’s coming from. And the political-cultural nexus of values that tend to make up and undergird that support. I’ve said nothing about the things you’ve stated I’ve supposedly commented on.

I happen to agree with whiskey insofar as he’s, I think, accurately described the kind of milieu within which young females support Obama. And by that I mean the intellectual currents of post-modernism and socialism, inculcated within them and our young men in the education system.

Go and look at the statistics of the demographic data and tell me I’m full of shit. And by the way, I have gone to great pains to also state that his support among young males is strong too. Just not quite to the levels as it is among young women. I’m not attacking women as a sex or in general.

And gratuitous remarks about how I make judgments about the desirability of overweight gals for dates is worse than unfair. It says something about your character that you take out the knife in that way.

No doubt I’ll get ganged up here, as I have been on another topic, for standing up for myself against straw men arguments. Bring it on, folks.
