For refusing to wear a head scarf while in Saudi Arabia..

I'm torn on this one.

Then you're one wet napkin, because it's pretty hard to be torn on something like this.

It's disrespectful. I believe that you can make a political statement without doing it at the funeral of a world leader. I think we all would be pissed if someone disrespected Carter or HW Bush the same way in the next 5 to 10 years. On the other hand I agree with the statement she was making.

You similarly cool with people wearing shorts and tank tops to the Vatican?

It isn't disrespectful. Forcing her to wear one would be.

sounds like the queen is the reason women still arent allowed to drive in saudia arabia

Looks more like she's getting ready for the 'Wizzo the Wizard' cosplay convention.

Who's grandma had sex with Bozo?

It's funny that neither Condi Rice nor Susan Rice wore them either, but got no scorn. The continual need for some to nitpick the First Family never ceases to amuse me now.

I'm actually glad she took the stand. I'm really tired of certain hypocritical and misogynistic Muslims' playing the disrespected victim card. Especially those leaders in the countries that sponsored Al Qaeda & others for years but were never formally acknowledged as conspirators in terror.

In any event, there are exceptions in the cases of foreign visitors, especially visitors that aren't entering a mosque/religous site. But since it's FLOTUS, some don't seem to care.

Here's an example of why, even though my politics are liberal- sometimes radical- I just can't identify as liberal. The liberal goes on and on wailing about some fictional "war on women", mainly based upon the very human discussion about the morality of killing the unborn, while turning a blind eye to an actual war on women within an entire religion/culture that treats women as property.

I see what you are saying here.

If a state says that a woman can't drive her body around, must cover up her body, cannot use her intellect and labor to earn money, etc, these are all treating a woman as property. I mean if a woman has no choice over her body due to state sanctions, then you are right JORR, she is nothing but property.

However, when a woman tries to control what happens with her body as it concerns pregnancy she doesn't have to worry about the state treating her as property, because that doesn't happen in the US. Oh wait, that is exactly what happens in the discussion of the morality of killing the unborn.
