think the economic is bad ? "dont be economic girlie men" according to arnold.

we all know who arnold is so lets not go further on his use of 'girlie men'. we know that he is a man of hate.

but im writing this diary b/c there is something even worse in his latest comment.

Arnold saying that people who know that the economy is weak are in themselves 'weak'..

..it is the final straw in the outrageous gendering of issues. feminine issues = peace, healthcare, unemployment insurance, even social security.

REAL MEN don't say the economy is bad...therefore saying "The economy is good" b/comes as masculine as saying "saddam needs to be killed"..and saying the economy is bad, becomes as feminine as saying that women should be given equal pay. as feminine as saying we all deserve health care.

saying the economy is bad shows that you are weak.--therefore, "real men" will say it is good.

we all know that one of the most obvious manifestations of fascism is rampant sexism.

arnold's comments were met with "deafening applause"

As sentator byrd said about the invasion of iraq...today, i weep for my country.
