I’ve had this post started in drafts since yesterday morning. But, you know, was busily “just being a mom” and all. Eating my bon-bons and swilling my chilled Riesling took far longer than expected. Now it’s the next morning and I’m already so darn tired. If only I had a “real job” and “worked a day in my life” instead of this mom stuff. Still, I suppose my day was better than Hilary Rosen’s, who was thrown under the bus repeatedly by fellow Democrats frantic to distance themselves from her denigrating comments about Ann Romney and stay-at-home moms. As always, the Left was quick to use and toss aside a woman when she became inconvenient. Why? Hilary Rosen was merely parroting Lefty talking points, started by the very man for whom she was carrying water: President Obama. As others have pointed out already, he started the ball rolling by proclaiming that he and Michelle didn’t have the “luxury for her not to work.”

This is clearly a campaign strategy; try to use the tired old class warfare stuff. Oh, those Richy Richies! Only silly little tea-having rich ladies stay home with their kids. And their nannies! So out of touch! Only, that’s not true no matter how hard Rosen’s fellow travelers try to spin it so, and the average stay-at-home mom knows that. Many women choose to make sacrifices and live with less in order to stay home with their children. Others do the math (I know! How can they understand economics thingies? That’s for boys!) and realize that the cost of childcare would outweigh whatever money they could bring into the household. So, fail again, Obama. Nice try.

It was also a tactic taken to try to destroy Mitt Romney’s best weapon — Ann Romney. I knew she’d be a target right after Super Tuesday when she gave a fantastic speech after her husband’s victories. If I, a silly little mom from bitterly clinging South Carolina could see that, then surely the ‘experts’ paid to figure out such things also saw it. Rosen’s mistake was that she couldn’t stop the sneering contempt that Democrats have for “the wrong kind” of woman from creeping out. She let out their dirty little secret: they think they are better than you and that women are unable to think for themselves without proper guidance from their Democrat overlords. Her mistake was saying too much and letting the mask slip.

She couldn’t help it. She has internalized all that she’s been taught about women and how they are unworthy unless they meet their ‘full potential” , as outlined and judged by the Left, and encouraged by many of the same people rushing to distance themselves from her today. One of the Democrats who was quick to disavow Hilary Rosen was Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The obvious hilarity aside (Wasserman Schultz was being advised by Hilary Rosen when she first offered the absurd “war on women” phrase) Wasserman Schultz exposed herself last week as someone who only worries about dirty little secrets being exposed publicly. When it was discovered that one of her aides had an old facebook posting that disgustingly called Jewish people “jewbags”, what was Wasserman Schultz most concerned about? Her own words:

Gloria Steinem has once again resurfaced from whatever cuckoo pants mammary tower she’s been hiding in to help pen an absurd opinion piece at CNN calling for the FCC to take Rush Limbaugh off the airways. Because, meany pants. I think it was supposed to be serious. I can’t really be sure because, oh boy, did the hilarity ensue. Her ‘writing’ partners, because it apparently takes three feminists to write one op-ed (collective thinking, baby!) were Jane Fonda (I know! My sides ache, too) and radical feminist author Robin Morgan, also an editor at the ever-inane Ms. magazine.

This op-ed, as well as the actions of some other feminist/Lefty groups, are of great value in one way: They totally expose the Left as subjugators, users and abusers of women. But let’s get the side-splitting article itself out of the way first. The trio of attention-seeking irrelevancy open with quotes they didn’t bother to source. Research is hard. Then they go on to include environmentalists in a list of The Most Vulnerable whom Rush Limbaugh has allegedly ‘attacked’. By attacked they mean people with whom he disagrees. Environmentalists! Who among us hasn’t lamented the plight of the poor environmentalists, aimlessly roaming about the country only to see signs like ‘Environmentalists need not apply”? What happened to all those ‘green jobs’ Obama promised? He is oppressing the environmentalists! Who will think of the environmentalists? WHO?

The three then exhibit a staggering lack of self-awareness by claiming that Rush Limbaugh seeks to “dehumanize” people. Um. Did Gloria Steinem forget that she called housewives “dependent creatures who are still children” and “parasites”? That is the Left’s standard operating procedure. That is what they do, always, and especially with regard to women. This has been proven over and over again and only the willfully ignorant can’t see it. This is followed by the pièce de résistance of the op-ed — they equate Rush with Josef Goebbels. No, for reals. While fascistically demanding that The State’s FCC shut down Rush Limbaugh. While seeking to silence those with whom they disagree – using hysterical lies and propagandist rhetoric – they Godwin themselves with Goebbels. Irony is lost on these geniuses.

They ended with the most hilarious line of all when they claimed ‘this is not political’. Of course it is. Everything they do is political. Perhaps Robin Morgan forgot that she said “I feel that “man-hating” is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.” She also said ‘Kill your fathers, not your mothers’ – yeah, no ‘issues’ there. And Feminism itself is not about women at all; it’s about serving a political ideology and agenda always. What they fail to realize, being too busy beclowning themselves constantly, is that they are subjugators of women. They are being used – willingly, no less –  to help oppress and infantilize women, making them subservient to The State and Big Daddy Government.

“What about saying she’s a wh*re?” – Jerry Brown and aide in reference to Meg Whitman

““You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote!” – Democrat Congresswoman [edit] State Rep. Janis Sontany (D-TN)

“She works the pole” (as in stripper pole) – Joe Scarborough about Jerri Thompson

“She performed [redacted sexual act] on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee” – John Sylvester, WDTY about Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch

“She’s a balloon head” – Chris Matthews, MSNBC in reference to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann

“Christian Stepford wife in a ‘sexy librarian’ costume” — “hardcore pornographic centerfold spread.” – Salon, about Sarah Palin

“Distracted by the lure of celebrity’ and “the gubernatorial equivalent of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.” – Democrat Chair Dick Harpootlian in reference to Governor Nikki Haley

The above quotes are just the very tip (and cleanest for a family site) of the iceberg of what Conservative women face in the political arena. Michelle Malkin did a great job highlighting some of the worst in her column this week ‘The War on Conservative Women“. Conservative women seeking political office are heretics, you see. How dare they stray off the Lefty plantation? For that, they must pay. And be punished.

Enter ShePAC. Not only are they refusing to cave, but they aren’t even playing defense; they are on offense (I may faint, having made a sporty thingie reference). First up? Using their brass sets of ovaries to totally annihilate the ever-repulsive Bill Maher a.k.a. Million Dollar Obama donor and the opportunist who is hypocritically embracing him. Here is their fantastic first video, exposing all Maher’s vile, misogynistic attacks on Conservative women (warning: language – all Bill Maher’s reprehensible language aimed at women):

On Thursday, the Senate voted on the Blunt Amendment which would have allowed religious institutions/employers to opt out of the mandate in Obamacare requiring “free” coverage of contraceptives and abortifacients. I know, it’s not as sexy as someone being called a ‘slut’, but that is what the actual amendment was about. Individual freedom and religious liberty, funnily enough things on which this country was, you know, founded. In fact, the rights delineated in the First Amendment are so crucial, America would not be America without them.

But what says Murkowski, who did vote for the Amendment on Thursday? Total mistake! Because pandering to false narratives is more important than the truth and The Constitution. Also, silly women. Can’t expect them to understand facts.

Asked if she would vote for the amendment again if she could do it over, Murkowski said, “No.”

Why the swift change of heart?

The Anchorage Daily News column says Murkowski returned to Alaska after the amendment failed and kept running into female voters unhappy with her over her vote. Murkowski told them she had voted for the amendment because she wanted to send a message that the health care law needed stronger protections for religious conscience. But public debate on the measure had changed, she said, and what was supposed to be a “messaging amendment” on religious freedom, an issue Republicans were hoping to champion, ended up becoming a vote on contraception rights.

WHAT?  So she would have changed her vote because she would prefer to vote on a false narrative and outright scare tactic lies rather than on the actual facts and issues?

Useless, thy name is Murkowski. With friends like her, who needs enemies? This is exactly what I mean when I say that we cannot continue to fear extremists on the Left and cravenly cave to their lies.

I learned something this weekend. Evidently, using the word slut is far more egregious than peeing on the Constitution and on personal and religious liberty. And being equated to a slut due to demanding that others pay for your personal sexual choices is more egregious than actually being a thirty year old perpetual student leech, spouting outright lies. Because, entitled. I had another teachable moment as well: the GOP has yet to realize what a travesty it is to cravenly cave to lefty false narratives, unbelievably giving them credence. I realized that I am very concerned about the lack of testicles (is there a mandate to cover a pill for that?) in the GOP.  But, hey, us dames will handle it with our huge sets of brass ovaries. I’ll start, as I’m a giver.

Let’s get the absurd slut faux-outrage and the hypocrisy out of the way first, since Leftist hypocrisy and misogyny happens so often that it’s nearly a cliche. For the record, Rush Limbaugh never called her a slut just for being on birth control. Or even for having lots and lots of sex, if she does. I don’t know and I don’t care to know.  That’s yet another media/Lefty (concentric circles on Venn diagram) lie. Stop falling for it. Secondly, maybe Rush should have just called her a K Street whore? N.O.W. would have endorsed him for Congress or Governor of CA. Or called her a c-word or a ‘dumb tw*t? Or called Laura Ingraham a ’slut’ instead? That’s hunky-dory, apparently. It’s totally okay if it’s the wrong kind of woman, the kind whose skirts you have to lift and check to make sure they are actually women before they vote.

But using a provocative way to point out the absolute wrongness of the arguments of a woman who freely inserted herself in the public eye and who willingly publicly discussed her personal choices (if you seek to have others pay for your personal choices, then that opens you up to scrutiny of the same. Hooray, Nanny State!) Well, that’s apparently The Worst Thing Ever. Warranting a phone call from the President, for cripes sake. Will Obama call Andrew Breitbart’s grieving family to “offer support” over truly despicable things being said about him by the Left? Gleeful reveling at the death of a husband and father of four is no big whoop. But use the word slut in reference to a liar-pants slacker who wants others to subsidize her personal choices by mandate at the expense of religious and individual liberty? Presidential phone call!

Clearly, the President did that because he knows a Useful Idiot when he sees one. But shouldn’t Sandra Fluke be all Fem-offended that the President felt the need to call and pat her on her little woman head? Oh, The Patriarchy! See, the real War on Women is being waged by the Left, who seek to keep women victims, dependent on and controlled by the Nanny State. Sandra Fluke is a tool.

Out: Hitler analogies. In: rape demagoguery.  If you are a morally bankrupt Leftist, that is. And it’s not just ‘fringe’, either. Mainstream Democrats, including our own Vice-President, are hopping on the revolting bandwagon that reached the nadir of it’s journey this week. While it’s been well-shown that Democrats are not For The Women, in fact they are anything but, the reprehensible actions of late have shown the depth of their depravity and their outright contempt and disdain for women.

Their true misogynistic colors were never more clearly exposed than they were during the putting forth of two contemptible memes, invented by the Left, in the past couple of weeks. The first one was that the rampant rapes at OWS camps are totally okay. Because, A Cause. Jumping right in came the ever disgusting Keith Olbermann, late to the whitewashing of OWS gravy train. He started by not denouncing  Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas’s statement that no one cares if women are raped at OWS camps because it’s about the message. Suck it up, ladies! What’s a little rape if it’s for a cause? It’s all about the “movement”. Women, as always, are disposable and expendable to the Left. And victims can be re-victimized and exploited; the end justifies the means, you see. Even if the means are raped women.

He then doubled-down by claiming that a 14 year old girl had consensual sex, so it wasn’t rape. With a 24 year old convicted sex offender. To Olbermann, a vile, despicable excuse for a man (I wouldn’t want to disparage illegitimate children by comparing them to this scum), it’s no big whoop. I mean, she’d probably just grow up to be a mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick anyway, right Keith? It wasn’t truly surprising, since the Left pulled the same thing in defense of their fellow traveler, Roman Polanski. Remember, that wasn’t rape-rape of a 13 year old child. It’s not child rape if someone who shares your Lefty ideology does it. Plus, I’m sure they think, hey, he only sodomized her. He was saving her from the risk of a ‘punishing’ pregnancy and the threat of actual rape via ultrasound. Which leads us to the second exploitative meme: transvaginal ultrasounds are the equivalent of rape.

As a woman who has experienced both, the equating of a transvaginal ultrasound with rape is beyond despicable. For the women, my arse.

Andrew Breitbart resigned from the GOProud Advisory Board this weekend. I wrote about GOProud’s retaliatory outing of Governor Perry’s Chief Pollster and how this really ended up outing them – and their bigotry and Leftism – last Friday here at RedState. I had hoped to leave it at that because I’m not fond of beating dead horses; it gets kind of icky and messy and I’m a girl. However, GOProud just keeps doubling down on the jackass, as do their apologists, and their lame attempts at excuses must be refuted.

See, there is a dirty little secret about a strain found in some GOP circles. People are so desperate to be all ‘I heart my gays! I’m not like those redneck rubes!” that they will immediately jump to be ‘allies’, warranted or not.  Because, ‘hip and enlightened.’ I have no such qualms. I’m a 40 year old broad who embroiders for fun and watches reality shows un-ironically. I drink Miller Lite beer from a bottle. I wear aprons, for cripes sake. Clearly, I don’t care much about  being hip or enlightened; in fact, I’ve seen nothing to convince me that either is a good thing.

While some think it’s being all super cool and allies-y and ‘friends of the gays’, it’s the exact opposite. It’s the same as ‘some of my best friends are black’.  Some of it is silly wanting to be cool stuff, as Stuff White People Like so hilariously explains. But even when it’s sad, little desperate coolness-craving, it is still totally NOT being “a friend of the gays.” It’s ridiculous to claim ‘friend of the gays’ when defending the insistence – and enforcement –  that if you are gay you must hold certain beliefs. It is the opposite of  helping gay people when you condone and excuse those who seek to force them into conformity and who will punish them for the crime of not believing their orientation is indivisibly linked to their politics/beliefs.

It is also absolutely bigoted.

This is the bigotry and the lefty tactics that those who are desperately spinning for GOProud are perpetuating. And some of the spinning is just absurd.

Earlier this week, Governor Perry released a campaign ad which contained a line about gays being able to serve in the military, but children not being allowed to pray in schools. The theme of the ad was ending President Obama’s ‘war on religion.’  It was, of course,  met with the usual and expected responses from various quarters. I’m not going to defend nor bash the ad; it’s neither here nor there to me. What I found most disturbing, and most telling, was GOProud’s reprehensible, bullying and bigoted response to the ad.

A report surfaced that Governor Perry’s Chief Pollster, Tony Fabrizio, was opposed to the ad. GOProud jumped on that and ran all the way to Vileville with it, exposing their belief that all gay people must think the same way. Granted I’m one of those icky breeders, but I’m fairly certain that gay people are, you know, individuals. With thoughts and beliefs of their very own.  Not so, according to GOProud! Stray too far, and we will shame you into lockstep! You see, in the midst of a stompy foot temper tantrum, GOProud’s true colors came out – and the colors are so not fabulous:

Between updates he made on his Twitter feed and an interview he gave to The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein, the co-founder and executive director of the gay GOP group GOProud, Jimmy LaSalvia, appears to be claiming that Rick Perry’s top pollster Tony Fabrizio is gay — and using an ugly antigay slur to describe him….

Reached for comment and offered to appear on my radio progam to discuss the comments, LaSaliva passed, saying that what he said to Stein said enough and that he didn’t want to “play in the outing sandbox.”

Um. You can’t say that you don’t want to ‘play in the outing sandbox’ while playing in the outing sandbox. Further, the anti-gay slur appeared on his twitter feed and is pictured below:

The ever absurd Ezra Klein of The Washington Post is at it again, refusing to remain silent and just be thought a fool rather than speak, or write, and have it confirmed. This turn on the idiot merry-go-round is his little defense of Occupy Wall Street and his breathless desire that the eviction save them. Not the women assaulted at the protests nor the people harmed by other actions of the protesters, mind you. No, no – it’s The Movement ™ that he glorifies and about which he’s concerned:

The occupation of Zuccotti Park was always going to have a tough time enduring for much longer. As the initial excitement wore off and the cold crept in, only the diehards — and those with no place else to go — were likely to remain. The numbers in Zuccotti Park would thin, and so too would the media coverage. And in the event someone died of hypothermia, or there was some other disaster, that coverage could turn. What once looked like a powerful protest could come to be seen as a dangerous frivolity.

After the excitement wore off? You mean all the super exciting rapes and assaults and tuberculosis outbreaks? LOLZ rape – such a frivolity! But, hey, at least the Mayor spared them from raping and assaulting while at risk of catching a chill! And maybe some of those raped and assaulted were some of those ‘undesireable’ types who would have ended up costing us more money in the long run, right Ezra? Like babies of those who don’t have the means, according to you, to care for them? Plus, it’s all about The Cause, as always, to you. What’s a little rape, assault, outbreak of disease and homicide? It’s all about The Movement, baby! Everyone, including women and children, are disposable for ‘the greater good.’

In aggressively clearing them from the park, Bloomberg spared them that fate. Zuccotti Park wasn’t emptied by weather, or the insufficient commitment of protesters. It was cleared by pepper spray and tear gas. It was cleared by police and authority. It was cleared by a billionaire mayor from Wall Street and a request by one of America’s largest commercial real estate developers. It was cleared, in other words, in a way that will temporarily reinvigorate the protesters and give Occupy Wall Street the best possible chance to become whatever it will become next.

First, they were in no way aggressively cleared from park. To the contrary; they were indulged and coddled at the expense of all around them.

The Sheriff of Spartanburg County in South Carolina gave a news conference yesterday wherein he offered reason number 7,283 why I am a Conservative. You see, while the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement is making those pesky women who’ve been sexually assaulted and raped ‘hush up‘(they aren’t good for The Cause ™), Sheriff Chuck Wright is walking the talk of true empowerment by encouraging women to arm themselves to prevent being violently assaulted.

This news conference was a result of an attempted rape that occurred in the Spartanburg area over the weekend. On Sunday, a woman was walking her dog in a local park when she was grabbed and assaulted by a 46 year old career cretin (convicted of more than 20 crimes, dating back to 1983) named Walter Lance. Lance choked her, forcibly removed her clothing, threatened her life multiple times and attempted to rape her. Sheriff Wright has had enough, as he makes clear in the news conference. He says that “our form of justice is not making it. Carry a concealed weapon. That’ll fix it.” He makes that point throughout the conference and he further encouraged women to walk in groups and said “I want you to get a concealed weapons permit. Don’t get Mace. Get a firearm.”

In case you can’t watch the entire video, key – and awesome – quotes follow below:
