    identity politics is the republican thing?

    how many times did michelle obama talk abuot how she was a women and a mom and all that shit? who the fuck cares about if you are a woman or a mom? we are electing a presiden and this is what we are talking about? "womens" issues? there is no such thing! abortion is right or it isnt. its not a "womens" issue. nothing is.

    identity politics is used to sway stupid people.

    oh god does it.

    you and i do not agree about lots of things but at least neither of says things like "as a southern male with kids i think this" or "as a single white atheist new yorker i think...." i hate that shit. issues are issues, your identity is not relevant. you and i can argue aout keynes vs hayek i would hope and realize that policy informed by reason and not by identity is better

    Jindal is a convert to Catholicism. He call himself a Catholic, but I say you're not a real Catholic unless you got in a fist fight with a nun by the third grade. :cool:
