2. Politics by Gender: From  

After enfranchisement, women were more politically conservative than men in their ideology, party attachment, and vote choice across most democracies (Lipset, 1960). Scholars typically reasoned that women’s higher levels of religiosity encouraged stronger ties to religious and conservative parties. Further, fewer women participated in the paid workforce, and thus they were less likely to join trade unions, the very organizations that historically connected workers to leftist parties

Trends in American elections reflect those found cross-nationally. Figure 1 displays the difference between the proportion of women who voted for the Democratic Party and the proportion of men doing the same in U.S. presidential elections from 1948 to 2008. Positive values signify more women voting for the Democratic Party than men. These data come from survey respondents’ reported vote choice from the American National Election Studies (ANES). Despite the ebb and flow over time, the overall pattern clearly shows that women are more supportive of the Democratic Party over time

5. Freedom: 

Freedom is the discipline to use personal moral strength to not be a slave to vice. It is a measurement of discipline. 

Epictetus wrote " Freedom is the only worthy goal in life . It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control." 

Epictetus also wrote "Only the educated are free." and " No man is free who is not master of himself." 

He also wrote " Freedom and slavery, the one is the name of virtue and the other of vice, and both are acts of the will." 

Seneca wrote "Tis the upright mind that holds true sovereignty." 

Unfortunately, it is a harsh reality that freedom ultimately requires death in order to be maintained and secured. Thomas Jefferson observed "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." 

Freedom is therefore a measurement of discipline and in order to be disciplined, one must accept the possibility of harm and/or death. For only in our greatest pain and discomfort does lasting change come.

Your life is completely in your control and so is your ability to take another life. I am not speaking of murder but the invocation of justice. Murder does not bring discipline, murder is and escape of personal problems. But justice is a virtuous quality and all too often the reprobated cancer in society needs purged. I speak of capital punishment under the rule of law, do not mistake my words. It takes discipline to submit to righteous laws and discipline to oppose unrighteous laws.

Freedom is a fragile thing. I liken it to gaining weight. One day you look in the mirror and ask "What Happened!" You know full well what happened. A series of poor decisions made over a long period of time. As Thomas Sowell has noted " Freedom is unlikely to be lost all at once and openly. It is far more likely to be eroded away, bit by bit, amid glittering promises and expressions of noble ideals."
