Equal? Nope.

The Progressive (read:  Marxist) goal is to eliminate individuals in favor of "units."  Ruling "units" is a lot easier than ruling individuals.  Thus, the perversion of the concept of "equality" into the rule:  'equal outcomes.'  (For those of you who think, this has everything to do with atheism.)

High on the list of the "unit"/'equal outcomes' agenda is placing women in front-line combat.  It won't work, of course.  But ideology--to the Marxist--rules.

The testimony of this woman, decidedly not a "unit", will be a warning.

You don't know what you are talking about. Progressives are not Marxists and have nothing to do with Marxism.

You don't know what you are talking about. Progressives do not believe in equal outcomes. This is perhaps the biggest right wing fallacy of the past five or six years.

You don't know what you are talking about. Atheism has nothing to do with equal outcomes any more than progressive-ism does.

You don't know what you are talking about. Allowing women to serve in combat roles has nothing to do with equal outcomes. It has to do with equal opportunity.

Interesting article you linked to. I'd say she knows what she is talking about. Of course it was also said that there was no way that gay service men and women could serve along with straights even though they have been for millenia.

It was also said that integrating black men and women would have "ruined the morale" of white soldiers.

And Marxist policy prevails when it comes to enabling more women to be eligible for increasing roles on the frontline? Say that to an Israeli female soldier, for example, and see how far you get...

When you're interested in learning something about Marxism aside from your indoctinated PC babble, read W. Chambers' "Witness."

Or read Solzhenitsyn. Here's a good start: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/augustine/arch/solzhenitsyn/harvard1978.html

You point out that "outcome" is not the same as "opportunity." That's correct. Now reconcile the progressive income tax code with your statement, hmmmmm?

Or to choose a slightly different mode, please demonstrate how the impoverishment of the USA through EPA mandates is not simply another progressive tax by other means.

Finally, to ignore the reality of sin and its effects is, at best, practical atheism. Marxism and Pragmatism--the foundations of Progressive "thought" happen to be atheist, whether explicitly or not.

It was Woodrow Wilson, Progressive god, who insisted on segregation in the Armed Forces, as you recall.

And I don't confuse the USA with Israel, as does NPR.

If someone making a million dollars has an effective tax rate of 35%, they still have $650,000 to live on.

If a middle income family making $50,000 has an effective tax rate of 20%, they have $40,000 to live on.

This is hardly equal outcomes.

That's another part of liberalism/Marxism. Deciding how much someone needs to live on.

Nobody said anything about need. However, I think "need" can be determined. After all, there is such a thing as a "federal poverty level".

Which is as irrelevant as cats are to tuba playing.

And that "war on poverty"....how's that working out?

Indeed, he sought to maintain the status quo, a conservative trait.

Regardless, American women are serving in combat roles. It's the correct call to make to expand their opportunities. Too bad Dad29 and his ilk can't do anything about it.

OMG, you didn't write the word need. You only implied that you know what someone else needs to live on.

OMG. I did NOT imply that I know what someone else needs to live on.

I DID imply that it can has has been analyzed and calculated what people NEED in order to house, clothe, and feed themselves and get themselves to work.

But that's really not the point. The point is that a progressive tax system does not and is not designed to create "equal outcomes".
