It’s a miracle Shea-Porter didn’t talk about cooking her colleagues’ dinners.

RESIZE: AAA

Come, I will conceal nothing from you: when I read this title (“Shea-Porter: Send the men home and Congress could pass health care reform”) I assumed that it was just some garden-variety nonsense about the war. Rep. Craol Shea-Porter is a Democratic Member of Congress who was active in the antiwar movement, so she’s going to be saying stupid things about national security at pretty much the same rate that you or I emit carbon dioxide. This is hardly acceptable, but it’s a situation that exists. People get used to it.

But no. No, Rep. Shea-Porter actually just fell out of the Stereotypes about Women tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

Apparently, the reason why we don’t have health care rationing is because all the MEN (from both parties) in Congress are keeping all the WOMEN (who are all automatically nurturing caregivers) in Congress down. And the WOMEN in Congress are being kept from doing anything about it because the MEN won’t listen to them. And the WOMEN don’t complain about it because the MEN… I’m not sure what Rep. Shea-Porter thinks that the MEN are doing to keep the WOMEN down, although I have my suspicions at what she thinks what it’d take. And how does Rep. Shea-Porter know all of this? Because she talks about it with other WOMEN. In the bathroom.

In. The. Bathroom.

162 years since Seneca Falls, and we’ve come this far.

PS: Rep. Shea-Porter has two potential Republican opponents: Frank Guinta and Bob Bestani.

    or we’d be rationed for sure! This woman (meaning me) does NOT want this monstrosity to pass – ever. I shudder to think the inmates are trying to run the asylum.

    I lived with this attitude almost daily. That I was raising a young girl made it even more so. Almost every person I came in contact with was certain that it was nearly impossible for a man to raise a young girl by himself.

  • monstermom

    rather than blame men every time they don’t get what they want. I’m a woman and it’s women who hold other women back more than men.

  • LisaDe

    just isn’t working any more. They needed to go bigger…they needed to blame ALL men. Maybe this will work!

  • monstermom

    The women who treated you with that attitude ought to be ashamed of themselves. I’m a mother of 2 boys and I am so sick and tired of this girl power and girl this and girl that stuff. Test scores for boys in our school district are tanking – especially in math and science. Does anyone care – NO! It’s all about closing the gender gap. I had no idea that closing the gender gap meant shoving boys down, not raising everyone up.

    Imagine if a male member of Congress made a similar statement…”the men could get it done if we sent the women home”? That person would be immediatly be reprimanded and probably forced to resign. The double standard used by the left prevails once again and they get a pass. Why isn’t such a video shown on the major news networks? Of course we all know why…the blind support of the Democratic administration.

    It bugs me how so many women are only concerned about girls. Some of them must have sons. No wonder we have so many men dropping out of college. I worry for my son when he starts school.

    It seems women are making all the rules on what is acceptable. Men are becoming more like women. By the way I am a woman. I just wish our society appreciated men a liitle more.

    Really? I thought the speaker was a woman. Is she not woman-ly enough to get things done?

    Bush-bashing and race-baiting hasn’t worked, so now we will play the gender card. I suspect next will be the age-discrimination play, or perhaps sexual orientation blame.

    What is it with these lefties that they always need to villify someone?

    The bio on his site says he has one kid named Colby and another named Jack. For the next one I propose either Gouda, Muenster, or Bergenost.

    And be quick about it.

    Well, if I’m going to be stereotyped, I might as well get a beer out of it.

  • mrorange

    I wonder if she would talk to Alan Alda and Phil Donahue like this? With any luck, she will be rendered irrelevant in November. Until then, back to the kitchen with you, little lady.

    When I was looking for scholarships for law school, there were a ton from women’s organizations if I wanted to focus on “women’s issues.” If I wanted to do tax, security or just general practice law, nope, no money. I had to pigeonhole myself solely as a woman interested in “women’s issues.” Of course, women’s issues are people issues, but the Feminazi haven’t figured that out yet.

    Does Shea Porter know that the Speaker of the House is technically a woman?

  • i8bugs

    imagine if John Boehner said something like “We could win the war on terror if we could just send all the women home.”

    It was men as well. The school sent a social worker to my house to check things out because my daughter mentioned the house was cooler than she liked. After a few minutes of discussion, he was astonished to find out that I actually wanted my daughter with me. He was sure we must’ve been abandoned and I was just stuck with her.

    Another incident was when I went to register her at a school after we’d moved. On one of the application forms, there was a selection for Salutation. There was every conceivable selection and combination of selections available except just “Mr.”. I got so frustrated I just scratched all of them out.

    of a teenage daughter all through her high school years. I got all kinds of “attention” from teachers, school counselors, and, of course, the inevitable visits from the lesbian social workers when teachers “had questions” about how “things were” at my house. I had it better than other men I have known because I didn’t have my ex playing the system to make my misery her mission; the daughter didn’t want to live with her and she certainly didn’t want a teenage girl either cramping her style or competing with her. My hatred for Educrats and “childrens’ services” became finely honed in those days.

  • Tbone

    we should be allowed to vote. That is why I have to keep it repressed.

  • eburke

    Moron!

  • USNJIMRET

    something like, “If only we could get that inexperienced, but colorful, man in the White house to stay off the TV……we could get things done!”
    On a separate note, She claims that every woman in the ‘Ladies Room, Republican and Democrat (every single one of them), had personally raised their own children, had to deal with the care of their own Mothers, their husbands Mothers, their sisters children.”
    Uh, not a single one of that particular tribe of women in the bathroom had families that did ANYTHING to help? Every single one of them had to personally deal with all those members of their families all by themselves? And they also had time for whatever professional careers they had before becoming Congress Critters?
    Every single one of them?
    Really, every single one of them?????
    What is it with politicians in general, and lefty ones in particular, that they take a generally likely concept, and apply it to absolutely everyone?
    Sheesh…..

    Yes. Shea-Porter is pretty much what opponents of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution warned us about. /s

  • Read Chesterton in New Improved Jersey

    Bill Clinton dispatched the political teeth of the feminist movement with the willing help of a twenty-something intern in a blue dress. Their rush to his defense was the low water mark in their history and the overturn of Roe Wade will be their 40 years in the desert.

    This woman may as well be wearing a clown nose and a cow bell and she’d fit right into the stereotype her Marxist feminist movement has created for itself.

    “Women took to the street carrying signs saying ‘We will not be dictated to!’ and then they all took jobs as stenographers.”
    G. K. Chesterton – What’s Wrong With the World

    I have a neighbor who fits that moniker… she’s a public school guidance counselor, actually. We got along great because we both have Shelties, and there was always some good neighborhood or community gossip to share – and she let’s us use her dock. But the day she saw the pro-life bumper sticker on the back of our Ford is the last time she stopped to chat when she passed our house. She no longer comes out when we take the dogs over to see her dogs on our walk either.

    Nothing like the open mindedness of a liberal.

    If he avoids naming the next one “Limburger”, the kid’s got an excellent chance to someday play in a B-52s tribute band.

    My ex wife was of this ilk, and one of the main reasons she’s my ex is that she wanted me to act more like Alan Alda and Phil Donahue, and I decided that I wasn’t willing to make that particular visit to the vet.

    These crazy women get away with this sort of thing because of people like Alan Alda and Phil Donahue, who grovel and toady and appologize for being penis-bearing fascists when they hear this kind of nonsense. If you get to spout this crap in an echo chamber for a generation or two, you actually start to beleive it. Typically, when confronted directly by someone who stands up and voices an objection, they fly into a rage and threaten bodily harm (and within 30 seconds or so bring the conversation around to Nazis), but occasionally one of them will actually stop and appologize. I like to think that they’ve started down the road back to reality, but that’s probably too optimistic.

    By the way, I could swear that when she says “not to diss the men”, someone in the audience calls out “you just did”. It’s hard to hear because of the general noise, but I’m pretty sure it’s there. Good on whoever said it.
