		<description>By the 80s, the South managed to largely shed the image of monkey trials, Bible thumpers and ignorant rednecks. Sadly that image is returning and the region&#039;s inherent pugnacity leads many of its residents to be proud of the fact. As long as voters keep electing grandstanding, self serving pols like McMaster, the trend will continue and the South will become an intellectual and cultural backwater, valued for uneducated cheap labor and not much else, kind of like a north of the border Mexico.</description>

		<description>Adam,

With all due respect, you can&#039;t honestly believe that the men who disagree with you are all &quot;Left Coast Techies&quot; - as if you would want to alienate an entire class of upwardly mobile male engineers, many who work in the Myrtle Beach area, who are driving the economy now. No, most of the men who disagree with you would be military servicemen and vets. Sure, you can find a holy roller vet to argue with me here, but the fact of the matter is that holy rollers are a minority in the military. 

In 2008 servicepeople made it very clear they wanted someone similar to Ron Paul albeit most would prefer someone without the anti-war rhetoric that doomed that campaign.

So continued BS about the Republican Party standing against heterosexual lifestyles that politically correct church-goers don&#039;t like will only create a civil war within the party that those who want freedom from big government cannot afford.

So rather than conduct a civil war against the majority of servicepeople and vets + &quot;Left Coast Techies&quot;, you might want to stop pontificating about how you don&#039;t like things like strip clubs.

We don&#039;t need to hear an argument in favor of big government mimic the lefties when they say &quot;The majority voted for this law so its fair&quot;. We live in a Republic not a democracy. If enough people say a law is unfair, it doesn&#039;t matter if the majority says it is.

Believe me, the law and order stuff was only relevant to the Republican Party during the race wars of the 80s when the Democrats pretended that upper middle class people weren&#039;t being mugged in New York City and Giuliani had to finally say &quot;enough is enough&quot; about the muggings and vagrant loitering in Times Square.

Now a bigger issue is that you just allowed a rabid feminist to comment and you did not criticize her.

If you are a conservative you are obliged to argue with feminists.

Look at the way she used the lefty phrase &quot;Human Trafficking&quot; and jumped all over me for saying &quot;Conservative men need to tell their women to stop using feminist phraseology&quot;. That comment was filled with paranoia which is the hallmark of feminism.

You have to join in kicking that type back to the Democratic Party and, for Heaven&#039;s sake, don&#039;t date or marry someone who would fly off the handle about someone saying &quot;conservatives need to tell their women not to be feminists&quot;.

Statistics show that men refused to vote in NC and IN which caused Obama to win both heavily Republican states. The Men&#039;s Rights Movement, which any real conservative man should be informed about and participating in, was critical of Coleman in Minnesota because Coleman was pandering to feminists - he would have won if he hadn&#039;t ticked off thousands of men like that.

A comment the above feminist &quot;Republican&quot; made was that libertarian Republicans already have their own party, the LP. This shows ignorance of the fact that almost half of Republicans are libertarian, not social conservative. We fully intend to take over the Republican Party and give socons a minority voice as long as they play fair and don&#039;t tick us off too much.

Socons would be smart to push now for a third party amendment while they still have 22-24% of the electorate. As they die off and control only 16-18% of the electorate in 2016, the libertarians who will control the Republican Party will ignore them or condescend to them like some socons are doing now by stealing the tea party rhetoric...which isn&#039;t fooling anybody.</description>

		<description>the worst kind of pundit is one who blindly follows their leaders, even when they stray intellectually and morally. You should have called McMaster out on this for selective and inefficient enforcement, Adam. Instead you blindly followed your AG and engaged in intellectual dishonesty.</description>

		<description>Jake,

You&#039;re right on.  The fact is, it isn&#039;t McMaster&#039;s job to make laws, but to enforce them.

A lot of these left-coast techies seemed to have missed that lesson in civics class.  Ya know, the whole three branches of government thing.

The people of South Carolina, through their elected officials, have made prostitution a crime.  As the state&#039;s top cop, it is McMaster&#039;s job to ensure the laws are obeyed.

If you don&#039;t like the law, encourage your legislators to change it.  That&#039;s democracy.

But don&#039;t take it out on the executive branch for ensuring people obey laws passed by the legislative branch.

- A.F.</description>

		<description>Wow! What a misogynist screed from VA (JP). Please provide documented evidence for the following claims:

... victim feminists already completely own the Democrat Party.

... MEN refused to vote in 2006 and 2008.

There is room for Christians in the RP if they keep their traps shut where it comes to heterosexual sexual preferences.  [Implies there is no room for them if they don&#039;t speak out against other sexual acts or orientations.]

... Christian men have got to tell their women.... [Implies ownership, the fundamental basis of all human trafficking.] 

... idiots on the left and right think that women should be kept from giving their contact info to strangers.

Until the libertarian Republicans vocally take over the RP, the RP will keep losing badly. [The Libertarian Party is a different one.]

... [Mark Sanford] might be badly hurting his chances to be President right now because we males will remember his timidity. [Barack Obama is U.S. President right now. Hadn&#039;t you heard?] ;-)</description>

		<description>The internet prostitution will just go use another website or take over a different section of craigslist.

McMaster is playing a shell game he can never win.</description>

		<description>Why is the software telling me that my comment is &quot;still being moderated&quot;? Is it visible like it would be on Twitter (and like the other person&#039;s comment that came after it) or am I seeing the reason why newspapers will no longer be viable as for-profit organizations...they moderate what they think people should read. Fact checking can be done in the Legal section of my site. A Republican judge (6th Circuit Bush appointee - on Veterans Day Friday 2006) really did say that Americans had no Constitutional right to say hello to Russian women online or otherwise.</description>

		<description>As soon as I see the AG bringing suit against telephone companies, free weekly papers, posterboards and bars that let people meet and get friendly -- I&#039;ll believe this doesn&#039;t have anything to do with his political plans.

And yes, I&#039;m sad to say, Craigslist is far far more important than my adopted home state.  It&#039;s a major engine of commerce around the world.</description>
