REPOSTED DUE TO INCREASED RELEVANCY

If there is one thing that still unites Americans across the ever more intellectually suffocating and bitterly polarized political spectrum our imaginations have been crammed into like rush hour commuters on the Tokyo Metro, it’s our undying love of identity politics.

Who doesn’t love identity politics? Liberals love identity politics. Conservatives love identity politics. Political parties love identity politics. Corporations love identity politics. Advertisers, anarchists, white supremacists, Wall Street bankers, Hollywood producers, Twitter celebrities, the media, academia … everybody loves identity politics.

Why do we love identity politics? We love it for many different reasons.

Hillary and My Vaginal Vote: Best Identity Politics Ever!

Dear Hillary Rodham Clinton,

I am voting for you to be our first woman president because Sisterhoodis Powerful, and who doesn’t love power?  For a woman to be accepted as “one of the boys,” she has to be twice as good at the things boys like.  War, for instance.  That’s you, Sister!

As Senator, you masterfully voted for the war in Iraq, and have for years expertly supported just about every U.S. military intervention — without losing an ounce of your femininity.  As Secretary of State, you deftly orchestrated the bombing of Libya. And when Muammar Gaddafi died, sodomized with a bayonet blade, you wittily quipped on TV news: “We came, we saw, he died.”  You even got the State Department to approve$165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments gave big bucks to the Clinton Foundation.
