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:

 “She was 20 when she posted that picture,” Wasserman Schultz said. “I spoke to my own children and gave that unfortunate posting as an example of how, no matter what you think is funny among your friends, nothing on social media is private.”

What? “Jewbags” is totally hilarious, but don’t let non-friends know that! THAT is what she taught her children. Not that calling people “jewbags” is wrong, but that you should worry about saying what you revoltingly believe publicly. This is what got Rosen in trouble. She was “ill-advised”, as President Obama called it. Not ill-advised in what she believes, but ill-advised in admitting it outside of the Smarter Than You Lefty circles. We rubes just can’t understand the nuance-y nuance of their bigotry and misogyny, you see.

Make no mistake, they hold women in deep disdain. Hillary Clinton, conspicuously silent on this flap, admitted it years ago. Dumb old stay at home moms just sit there and bake cookies. President Obama only feels empathy for mothers insofar as they’ve been “punished” with children. He lauds Roe v. Wade as a way to let our daughters fulfill their dreams. Because what kind of idiot would be fulfilled by having children and dedicating her life to nurturing them? No, no. Your dreams must be predicated on the slaughter of over 50 million children, to save you from punishment.

When a pregnant Natalie Portman accepted her Oscar and referred to her impending motherhood as the most important role of her life the Left went even nuttier than usual. Pregnant and happy about it? Think being a mom is your most important role? For shame!

Talk about out of touch! They don’t understand what we, the women at whom they sneer in contempt, do. While there is nothing wrong with working outside of the home and having children – every woman has that choice – there is nothing more important than our children. One’s work is never in any way on par with one’s children. Most sane women work for their children; their children come first, always. Their jobs don’t make or break who they are; they embrace motherhood and understand it is an attribute in and of itself, not a detriment.

How miserable and sexist does one have to be to be upset or offended because women love their children and because women think that being a mother is unparalleled? I sometimes get weepy when I’ve had to shush my Gracie because I’m working on something. That is a moment I will have missed forever. Those are her words that I lost, never to be heard. But, then, I’m a gender traitor and such. I just don’t know any better, much like I can’t possibly understand economics thingies. Such stuff is totally beyond the ken of “just moms”. Perhaps they’d value our opinions were we incessantly screeching about our right to “free” birth control? Or perhaps if we point out that Ann Romney has created or saved more jobs by raising her five sons than President Obama has.

Nah. We’d still be women, warranting only a pat on our purty little heads and told to hush up so the big, smart men can save us, even from our own anatomies. This is why abortion is a sacrament to them. By devaluing the lives of children, they can assuage their guilt at devaluing women. Children are to be aborted at, and for, one’s own convenience or else a woman can’t function in any meaningful (as judged by the Left) way. Women are too stupid to raise children and do anything else at the same time. It’s lucky we all aren’t constantly tripping as we chew gum. Moms are dumb, incapable, non-functional and should be secluded from the rest of society, apparently. And how dare they ever presume to know anything at all besides how to make pipe cleaner animals and such?

We might not know the price of arugula, but we do know the price of everything else. We, not the alleged experts, are the boots on the ground and we see when the economy is in the crapper before anyone else does. We budget. We run the household finances. We don’t spend 40% more than we take in; granted, that does mean we can’t understand Obamanomics but only because we know that does not work. We see when we are paying more money for smaller size cartons of food. We see when we can’t afford the gas we need to chauffeur our children around to classes and sporting events as we do our best to nurture and raise them. We don’t get a day off nor do we try to foist our problems off on others. We fix them ourselves. Mommy always makes it all better!

Yet we are lesser, in the eyes of the Left. And just too stupid to realize it. Even when Rosen issued her non-apology apology, she again talked about the faux anger from the right. How can y’all be angry? You aren’t even smart enough to know what is good for you! This is what they believe. Take note, ladies. Watch for who accuses you of being fake angry; they hold you in deep, deep disdain and they always will.

They are just mad at Hilary Rosen for inadvertently letting you know that.

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.

They are quite literally saying that women need a Daddy State to come rushing in to soothe ouchy feelings and be their white knight protecting them from icky mean boys. Which is the same thing Fluke said; the woman for whom they are prostrating themselves to Big Daddy to defend.  She said that silly little women can’t control anything, let alone their ‘reproductive justice’ (whatever in the heck that is) without someone else rescuing them and, you know, picking up the tab. It’s also the same way they infantilize women by screeching about ultrasound laws. Helpless women are too stupid to see an ultrasound before killing their child because they might be so stupid as to change their mind! Feminist heroine Simone de Beauvoir said “No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one. “

The horror! Women making choices of their very own? Does not suit. In fact, Gloria Steinem also said that one cannot be a feminist and be conservative and pro-life. We aren’t real women, you see. Real women let others who ‘know best’, like The State, make their choices for them. Or, as another bunch of feminists proved this week, they empower themselves by demanding neither respect, honor nor care. A group called Liberal Ladies Who Lunch has launched a campaign to withhold sex (unladylike language at link) because ‘if our reproductive choices are denied, so are yours.” Idiocy, of course. But there is a larger point that they inadvertently exposed. The founder of the group said the following:

“American men enjoy the benefits of women making their own choices about when to get pregnant. Men get the advantage of free, easy access sex with young women of child-bearing age. It wasn’t like that sixty years ago. If women can’t get reliable birth control, they will just have to keep their legs crossed to prevent pregnancy–even married women. I don’t think anyone wants that.”

Huh. Can you feel the empowerment, ladies? Once again, those on the Left reduce women not only to the sum of their girly bits, but to 25 cent carnival rides requiring no respect just ‘easy and free access’. They throw themselves at pro-abortion men and laud them with tshirts saying ‘I heart pro-choice boys” because, hey, if he knocks you up, he’ll totally drive you to the abortion mill. Who cares if he’s too cheap to pick up the tab for a pack of condoms? We don’t need any respect or care, only Big Daddy Government! No responsibility for you, men. We are just here for your amusement, subservient and willing. As long as you are all pro-abortion-y and treat the children we may create without respect and as disposable, the same way you do us. That’s your legacy, Gloria Steinem. Kudos!

Conservative women can’t be Feminists, says Steinem. Thank Goodness. We’d rather be around men who respect us and honor us. And who aren’t, you know, too cheap to pick up contraceptives if we so choose. We aren’t 25 cent carnival rides. We won’t prostrate ourselves to Big Daddy Government, in fact we want him to get the hell out of our way. We won’t prostitute ourselves for Leftist politicans like Obama, to whom women are an expendable means to a political end. We’d rather think for ourselves and rely on ourselves, with the support of loving family and friends. We aren’t idiots who must think with one collective mind. We not only honor ourselves, but we honor and respect freedom and liberty.

The Left has wrongly held the For The Women card for too long and President Obama is now clearly using it as campaign strategy. It’s far past time their card was revoked. They aren’t For The Women. They are For Using The Women. They absurdly claim the GOP wants women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Well, they want us in hooker shoes, fearful of motherhood and in a cell servicing our Big Daddy Government masters.

““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):

BRAVA.

This isn’t gender identity politics; this is truth to false narratives. This is truth to lies. This is truth to Lefty scare tactics and punishment aimed at driving ‘the wrong kind’ of woman from the political arena. Conservative women are demonized, sexualized, demeaned and dehumanized as punishment for refusing to toe the victimhood-embracing ‘feminist’ line. Shatter the glass ceiling? Only if you walk in lock-step with us! Otherwise we’ll slam the doors we claim to want to open right in your dare-to-think-for-yourselves faces.

“Vote for only ‘authentic’ female candidates” – Patricia Ireland of N.O.W.

Sarah Palin is Pat Buchanan in drag” - Eleanor Clift, in Newsweek

“Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.” – Wendy Doniger, The Washington Post

“Do you cheer if the (glass) ceiling is crashed by two conservative businesswomen?” – Slate

feels as if all these women winning are kind of a blow to feminism. - Tina Brown, Daily Beast on Good Morning America

Sarah Palin’s Mama Grizzlies are merely the latest incarnation of the anti-women’s movement — a movement to oppose real solutions for women,dressed up in a skirt and lipstick, as if to legitimize their efforts to block progress. – Alternet

“She may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman” – Salon, in reference to Sarah Palin

They have to try to shame and dehumanize us to the point where even our gender is taken away from us.

Even their children aren’t off-limits and are egregiously part of the shaming and punishment. I guess it’s okay to be that despicable as long as you think their mom has cooties. It’s far past time we recognize it for what it is. The Left aren’t just hypocrites, running to their fainting couches when a conservative calls a ‘Reproductive Justice Activist’ an insulting term, all while spewing far worse bile themselves. They are true misogynists and anti-woman. They believe women are lesser. They seek to keep women victims so that they are dependent on Big Daddy government and are easily controlled. Tot them, women are tools for political gain and are tossed aside when no longer politically expedient.

They will punish those who ‘stray’ by attempting to shame and marginalize them, much like ‘outing’ in the gay community. To the Left, all people are boxed up into little groups. The girly bits of women are to be tied to their political ideology inextricably. Think for oneself? What dark magic is this? That doesn’t suit — the greatest crime to the Left is CrimeThink. And Conservative women, for refusing to fall for the anti-woman Left’s lies, are the biggest offenders.

Make no mistake; this is a key campaign strategy for President Obama. He will seek to scare women so they don’t keep defecting and he, through surrogates like Bill Maher and with the complicity of the Press, will punish those who seek to challenge him and his harmful ideology. ShePAC knows the only way to combat this is through good offense. And they’ve got it. Jenn Taylor and I had the shake fist-y pleasure of speaking with Teri Christoph about ShePAC, their plans, the Left’s exploitative ‘war on women’ false narrative and the reasons behind it on our podcast “That’s What She Said” this week.

Gird your fancy wombs, ladies. It’s on.

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. By doing this, Murkowski has given credence to those lies and is helping to perpetuate the entirely false ‘GOP war on women’ meme. NO ONE is trying to take away anyone’s contraceptives. You can buy them anywhere and no one has any plans to change that. But, hey, what does the truth matter? As long as we can scare dames away from straying off the plantation and use them for our gain! Murkowski has aligned herself with those (the always sexist Left) who seek to do that. As always. They care nothing about ‘women’s health’. It’s all about power and their deplorable ideology. If it’s about health, why is the Obama administration putting ‘the cause’ of abortion over women’s health?

What about championing the truth? What about actually standing up for women by acknowledging that they aren’t helpless idiots who couldn’t possibly understand facts and basic reasoning skills? How about fighting the false narrative and explaining the truth? Hey, you know who did do that? An icky old white man. I suppose now it’s sexist to have enough faith in women to tell them the truth. See, when David Gregory once again tried to frame the debate as an ‘attack on women’s rights’ and “blah blah blah ‘access to contraceptives’” (as if you can’t buy them at every single pharmacy everywhere) Newt Gingrich said this:

“Nobody’s blocking anyone from having access to contraception. No one. The young lady who testified can get access to contraception. Nobody said she couldn’t. The question is should a Catholic institution, or for that matter, the Ohio Christian University which is a Protestant institution, which is a very pro-Life institution, which is now being told it will have to pay for abortion pills. Should a Protestant fundamentalist institution be dictated to by Washington politicians over whether or not it can have its own religious beliefs, or have we become a country where it’s okay to go to church on Sunday morning for one hour, but let’s not actually express those beliefs the rest of the week?”

“This is the most fundamental assault on religious liberty in American history,” continued Gingrich, “despite every effort by the elite media to distort what it’s about. It’s not about access to contraception. People have, people who want to can get access to contraception everyday.”

Exactly.

But Murkowski would rather cave and ‘empower’ women by being complicit in their exploitation. That’s a ‘moderate’ for you. Afraid of the Left, lacking convictions and more concerned that willfully ignorant people will think she’s meany pants than she is concerned with the truth and the good of this country.

Oh, and FYI Ms. Murkowski — maybe you want to explain to the poor helpless women that this mandate will likely increase the cost of their contraceptives? I won’t hold my breath. Truth is hard.

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.  

The Left is trotting her out, in collusion with the media, as a way to distract and deflect from the real issue and the real debate. They’ll use her to seek to further exploit women with transparent ploys to try to scare them, in order to help their false narrative and re-elect their Golden Boy. And then toss her aside, like they always do.

She knows no better, as her ‘testimony’ clearly showed. Which testimony, by the way, the members of the alleged Press have not questioned. They are too busy rushing to anoint her a victim-y heroine, who they won’t let be silenced! Hey, you know who won’t ‘be silenced’? Conservative broads. And we procreate (insert maniacal, yet girly, laughter).

Not one has even questioned the veracity of the statements in her ‘testimony’, which were so absurd they were almost comical. Most of it was typical slacker/entitlement mentality nonsense. We are to feel sorry for her, a thirty year old woman at Georgetown Law School, because she can’t afford some things. Paying for one’s own birth control is an ‘untenable burden’. No, really. She said that. If this mandate is supposedly (wink, wink, nudge nudge) to help The Poor ™, why is she asking – nay, demanding – that religious institutions be forced to subsidize self-absorbed 30 year old students at a fancy pants school? Instead of a law degree, she should receive a PhD in mooching; Doctor of Entitlement! Listen, honey, grow up. Get a real job and not some made up ‘reproductive rights activist’ job and, you know, stop buying stuff you can’t afford. Prioritize, baby! It’s easy. We grown-ups do things like that. Get out of your perpetual childhood-ridden Ivory tower. Try for a little less whinies and a little more thinkies. “Your body, your choice?” Your money, toots.

She then upped the absurd by testifying that numerous female students at Georgetown are so stupid that they wander aimlessly about not seeking medical care because they can’t read insurance policies. She publicly announced that women are so stupid that they don’t know how to read. Perhaps they should pick a different field of study than law where reading is, you know, fundamental? And perhaps ‘Reproductive Rights Activist’ isn’t the best job for Sandra Fluke if she can’t explain things to these poor, silly little women so they won’t be shocked – SHOCKED – that a Jesuit school won’t pay for their contraceptives. Further, the cost of contraceptives that she offered in her testimony indicates that the Planned Parenthood just down the road must be price gouging. Shouldn’t this be investigated? For The Women and all. She then grossly stated that a woman who was raped didn’t go to the doctor because she assumed it wasn’t covered as it was a ‘reproductive health’ issue. Beyond despicable. Yet not one question from the Press.

Once again, the Left demagogues rape and re-victimizes rape victims all as an end justifies the means. And this is the woman we are to apologize to? This is the kind of disgusting false narrative, full of exploitation and outright lies that we cravenly cave to? We just did it yet again during the reprehensible ‘an ultrasound is just like rape’ meme that the Left perpetrated in collusion with the Press. Governor McDonnell caved. Joe Scarborough disgustingly adopted not just the narrative, but the terms of the Left. Once you accept their premise in any way and adopt their revolting terms to boot, you are saying their argument is legitimate. And you’ve lost.

Why apologize to our enemies ever? And believe me, that IS what Fluke is. She is an enemy of the First Amendment, enemy of the truth, enemy of individual liberty and is harmful to all especially women. It’s ironic, and not in the slacker-hipster way, that they seek to quash the religious liberty of some while trying to force us all to ascribe to their religion of Leftism.

On the plus side, as constant shake fisty scowling gives me wrinkles, this Fluke circus and the Virginia ultrasound bill jackassery has made it easy to spot who falls for feminist/lefty/media spin and lies. And we’re watching. With our sets of brass ovaries. I know, I know – optics! We don’t want to be meany pants. We want them to like us! Guess what? They don’t and they never will. You aren’t even really human to them. They have no moral compasses; they are gleeful when we die and when four children become fatherless. I always say this is the difficulty we face, as people with moral compasses. We face an opponent who has none and who will use ours against us. And they need the War on Women lie to win. Stop giving it credence!

And  if protecting liberty is bad optics and if calling out lies and giving instead the simple truth is bad optics, then isn’t it far past time for some collective corrective vision? Maybe there is a mandate for that.

Cross-posted from Breitbart’s Big Journalism

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.

The transvaginal ultrasound that I had when pregnant with my daughter did not cause me violent, bodily harm. It did not put me in fear for my life. It did not cause me to have to still sleep with a light on. The rape did, even to this day — twenty years later. It did not make me have to constantly plan my shopping trips to avoid the dark or suffer the fear and heart racing caused by walking alone through a dark parking lot. To this day. It did not make me introverted and fearful in social situations, convinced that everyone was staring at me. Hello, mad hair twirling!

It did not leave scars on my face and chest, caused by a broken beer bottle used as one of the weapons against me. And while those scars may have faded to the point that only I can see them, the scars that no one can see on the inside are still there. And always will be.

The Left is claiming that an ultrasound is rape because it is an object being penetrated inside a woman’s body. Or something. (warning: unladylike language). I’m not really sure what they are attempting to say because I’m not insane. Rape is not about penetration and only those who would diminish rape and re-victimize those who have been raped would think so. It’s about dominance and fear and power and assault and the evil that lurks in the minds of some alleged men. But, hey, that’s exactly like a standard medical test for a voluntary procedure. A euphemistically called “procedure” that takes someone else’s life, by the way.

Oh, and if you dare question that – or even mention the fact that transvaginal ultrasounds are not even mandated in the Virginia bill that has the Left grossly exploiting rape victims – then you deserve to be raped. Just ask Dana Loesch, who had rape wished on her this week.

Her caller must have been channeling our very own Vice President. Not long ago, when trying to snake oil-y sell us the Jobs Bill, he talked about how he wished opponents of the bill (including women) had some notion of what it was like to be raped and have a 200 pound man standing over them telling them to submit. I have, Joe. Would you care to ask me that to my face? I’d like to respond with my fists. Again, demagoguing rape is not surprising from an administration who uses women for an agenda and then supports and embraces a ‘movement’ that treats women as objects to be violently assaulted and then thrown under the tent when they become inconvenient.

They diminish rape, empower rapists and re-victimize those who have been raped — for attempted political points. Demagoguing RAPE. They have truly moved past rock bottom and are scraping the earth’s mantle. Their abuse of women knows no bounds. They know an ultrasound is in no way like rape; in fact, Planned Parenthood uses them themselves before sucking a child from a woman’s womb. But that’s the point, isn’t it? They just don’t want silly little women to see the ultrasounds themselves. They are trying to scare women with cries of ‘it’s just like rape”- an ultrasound –  as a way to push the ‘ball of cells’ lie to women. All so that more women will kill their children completely uninformed. Informed choice my strappy sandal-clad foot. See the actual baby? That doesn’t suit. It’s not good for the blood money bottom line.

Using rape and women who have been raped in an attempt to kill more babies. I’m sickened by these revolting cretins. The blood money and the deplorable The Cause ™ are more important than the lives of children and the women who bear them.

The pathetic excuse for a man who assaulted me killed himself in jail awaiting trial. Which was yet another thing that scarred me further, unlike the ultrasound that only brought me the joy of seeing my daughter for the very first time. But one day a dear friend of mine told me that killing himself was the most honorable thing that man ever did or would have done in his miserable life. It’s sad that he, a rapist, perhaps had more honor than the people on the Left exploiting rape victims, as a way to ensure the death of more children via abortion, today.

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.

You see, some are claiming that some people already knew that Governor Perry’s pollster was gay (even though that still hasn’t been confirmed nor denied – and shouldn’t be. It’s nobody’s business). See, it wasn’t an outing-0uting! SOME people – like Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia of GOProud, conveniently – already knew. No big whoop! It was just a sorta outing. Sheesh, people!

First, I don’t know who they spoke with other than members of GOProud’s advisory board, but I heard from several D.C. based consultants who have known and worked with Governor Perry’s pollster for years and never knew his sexual orientation. One long-time Republican political consultant who has worked with Fabrizio said:

“We’ve worked with him before and he’s outstanding. And…I had NO IDEA he was gay and had never heard it anywhere. It IS an outing. And it’s nobody’s business. Period.”

Second, Jimmy LaSalvia admitted to the outing himself, before issuing false claims of ‘oh, we didn’t know he wasn’t out-out!’. When asked by a radio host to come on the air to clarify his revolting F-word tweet aimed at Fabrizio, LaSalvia chose not to by replying that what he’d said already said enough and he didn’t want to play in the ‘outing sandbox’. Huh. That’s weird. How could it be an outing sandbox if no one was being outed?

Third, while the outing is reprehensible and vile, even if one wants to fool themselves into believing it wasn’t a purposeful outing, the reasons for the contemptible F-word slur and the tactics involved in everything that occurred thereafter are right out of the Lefty playbook.  I mean, right from the start GOProud showed they were not a conservative organization. One of their ‘we are the victims! Totally not our fault’ excuses is that the press called them up asking about a gay man working for Governor Perry while he ran an ‘anti-gay’ ad. A conservative organization would have said a) the man’s sexual orientation has nothing to do with his job nor his political beliefs. Every person is an individual. and b) while we may not agree with the ad, since we supported the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’, it is not ‘anti-gay’. People can disagree with things like same-sex marriage or the repeal of DADT and not be painted as anti-gay H8Rs!!

They did neither. Instead, they demonized Governor Perry as an anti-gay hater and went so far as to call him Un-American (Gee, when have I heard that before? Perhaps from Nancy Pelosi and Senator Reid in regards to the Tea Party and the town hall meetings prior to the passage of Obamacare?) They then employed the tactics of shaming and of personal destruction to punish Fabrizio for daring – DARING – to work for a man who did not agree with their agenda and for being a ‘f**gots who line their pockets with checks from anti-gay homophobes while throwing the rest of us under the bus“.

How dare he? He’s gay (allegedly) so he must think the exact same way we do. And if he doesn’t, we’ll make damn sure he knows he’s punished for not conforming.  And, well, we’ll throw HIM under the bus. We’ll then blame him for ‘not keeping it secret well enough.’ No really. They did:

if Tony Fabrizio wanted it to be a secret that he was gay he probably should have done a better job of letting other people know it was supposed to be a secret.

If he was outed-outed or not doesn’t change GOProud’s intent nor the fact that they are enforcing conformity by blackmail and/or punishment. They demanded Fabrizio resign. They demonized him and his boss. They are still blaming him for what  they did (classic victim mentality; it’s nothing we did wrong. It’s everyone else). Because they disagreed with something his boss said. Because, gay. Andrew Breitbart had it right; he resigned because he knows that we should not and cannot accept such behavior. He could not in good conscience remain a part of such an organization, as he notes in his resignation letter, printed at The Daily Caller:

I have a zero tolerance attitude toward the intentional infliction of vocational and family harm by divulging the details of an individual’s sexual orientation as a weapon of political destruction. As an “Advisory Board member” I was not consulted on this extreme and punitive act.  Clearly, there are more productive means to debate controversial ideas and settle conflicts. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience stand with GOProud. I still stand by gay conservatives who boldly and in the face of much criticism from many fronts fight for limited government, lower taxes, a strong national defense as well as the other core conservative principles.

We cannot and should not ever condone the vile Leftist tactic of ‘Conform or you shall be punished!’ It is no different at all than how the Left insists that all African-Americans or all women or all Hispanics think the same. Nor is it different from how they seek to treat some with preferential treatment – excusing any and all bad behavior – because they know that encouraging and enabling a victim mentality means more control for them while they treat the ‘victims’ like pets who must obey their behavioral rules. Identity politics – race based, gender based, orientation based, whichever – is their bread and butter. It’s how they control and force conformity. It is, quite frankly, political correctness Totalitarianism. And they will blackmail and personally destroy if that is threatened, in order to keep the collective masses in line.

We would not accept this from a woman’s group who maybe sometimes threw in some talk about fiscal responsibility. We wouldn’t accept it if they then also constantly railed against any female politician – or a female employee of said politician – and called her a ‘gender traitor’ because she spoke out as pro-life. We wouldn’t accept an African-American man being called an Uncle Tom if he worked for a politician who was against affirmative action. Why on earth would we accept it in this case?

And if we do, that is the very definition of bigotry. If that’s the new conservatism, then no thank you.

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:

He followed that up with a tweet confirming that he “was talking about Rick Perry’s pollster/strategist.” He reaffirmed both today, including his use of the F word which I can now only assume is fair game, as it has been GOProud Approved ™. Not content with just putting themselves in identity politics-laden boxes, they decided to ‘out’  Tony Fabrizio in a contemptible attempt to force him into the box they made for him. This is a typical Leftist tactic and one that cannot be tolerated by, or on, the Right.

Make no mistake; what GOProud did is a typical leftist tactic. ‘Outing’ is used as some sort of brave action defending the ‘gay community’, for which the outers pat selves on back for being so true to the cause ™ and exposing the alleged ‘hypocrisy’ of the outees. But there is no hypocrisy! One can be gay and also be opposed to gay marriage or the repeal of DADT, for example. That is allowed; people have this pesky habit of thinking for themselves. So, in actuality the bullying ‘outing’ tactic is in no way honorable; it is simply disgusting, nasty, vindictive and super assy. The sole intent is to attempt to shame and marginalize those who don’t bow to a liberal agenda and stray too far from the plantation (just as they constantly try to sexualize or dehumanize conservative women). See, even the slightest hint that gay people don’t all think and believe the same things is a danger to the Left, much like how they believe all African-Americans should think the same.

Remember Barbara Boxer, Ma’am questioning Harry Alford, the chair of the National Black Chamber of Commerce and being all ‘but… but … the NAACP disagrees! How can you not think the same as they do?!” She was shocked and in disbelief that he could possibly disagree with the NAACP and the 100 Black Men of Atlanta. How can this be? This does not suit! All y’all must think the same – race politics are our bread and butter! Or when Harry Reid was flabbergasted at the very thought of a Hispanic being a Republican. Harry Reid is someone whose ivory tower should be padded. He said “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican.” Think independently?! Unheard of.

In the same way, gay activists, liberal and faux-conservative alike, want people to believe that political ideology and sexuality are somehow magically and permanently tied together and cannot be separated. One’s sexuality must dictate whether or not one believes in gay marriage legislation, repeal of DADT and the like. The same way that a fancy womb must dictate whether or not one is pro-abortion (you are gender traitor if you disagree). Outing is the blackmail and ‘punishment’ for not toeing this revolting line. And it’s disgusting. It’s vile when the Left does it and it’s even more vile when an alleged Right group does it.

I’ve supported GOProud in the past and this greatly disappoints me. It would have been one thing had GOProud simply denounced the ad. I would have expected that, even if it had shown them to be a one-note organization. That’s to be expected with identity politics groups. It’s kind of the purpose of  organizations founded upon some sort of group identity, no matter how forcefully such groups try to proclaim – or even try to be - otherwise. But they didn’t stop there and they’ve supported similar bullying tactics before. They support Human Rights Campaign and their gestapo tactics against Cleta Mitchell, wherein they are going after her law firm for daring to have an attorney at their firm who is openly against gay marriage. Funny how *some* people aren’t supposed to be “living openly and honestly“, huh?

You know, this is not the way to make nice-nice and convince people that you are right on an issue. All they’ve done is engaged in a circle of jerks smugly back patting – we expose the supposed hypocrisy of men who dare to be both gay and socially conservative! Or who even just work for someone who is.

But, in reality, all they’ve exposed is the reprehensible tactics of gay activists and the Left. Which is, evidently, redundant.

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.

They were allowed to build what amounted to a squatter city for *months* to the detriment of the entire neighborhood and those trying to do an honest days work in said neighborhood. But who cares about people who are actually struggling, right? I mean, y’all had drum circles! And ‘income inequality’ chants – the irony of those who sit around on their arses all day, squatting in a park, screeching about ‘income inequality’ is lost on you, huh, Ezra? Kind of hard to complain about inequality when one refuses to even bother earning an income at all. Maybe if one bothered trying to earn an income or, you know, live in reality then one would realize that the whole ‘income inequality’ thing is a total myth anyway.

Also a myth? Your entire grossly romanticized idea of the ‘Occupy movement’ – a movement the press has been trying to whitewash since its inception. The rampant examples of violence and degeneracy were spun as ‘fringe’. Well, guess what? If everyone is fringe, then no one is. At some point, fringe becomes the norm – and oh how it did. Not just at the original Zuccotti Park site, but at every major ‘Occupy’ site; the rap sheet is miles long.

Funny how the opposite was true with the Tea Party. In that instance, the press desperately tried to demonize them and continues to try to do so. Two years of frantic attempts to paint the Tea Party with a villainous brush, but to no avail. You can’t invent things that aren’t there, toots, no matter how hard you try and hold your breath and stomp your feet and clench your little juicebox-laden fists. People saw with their own eyes that the Tea Parties were nothing like the Occupy protests. There were no acts of violence, no filth, no assaults, no law-breaking. Because, Conservatives aren’t cretins. Further, Tea Party ralliers played by the rules; they applied for and obtained permits, they paid for them, they assembled peaceably, cleaned up after themselves and left peacefully, always. What squares, huh? Puritans!

With the ‘Occupiers’ you can attempt to whitewash all you want, but contrary to your Oh So Much Smarter Than Us opinion, people aren’t stupid. They can see the difference between the Tea Party rallies and the Occupy degenerates. I would have not one smidgen of nervousness taking my 8 year old daughter to a Tea Party rally. I would never, ever take her within miles of an ‘occupy’ protest, however. They are not safe for grown women, let alone children.

Sane and honest people can see through your spin and see things for what they are. No one’s rights are being squashed – in fact, the ‘Occupiers’ are the ones who seek to trample on the rights and peaceful existence of others. Most people who don’t live in their mom’s basement will understand how Governor Nikki Haley said it today:

Nikki Haley

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:

Wright said Lance has been in jail more often than he has, and he runs the jail, and he said he gets out easier. He punctuated by saying, “And I’m aggravated.” He said he doesn’t believe every person needs to be kept in jail, but he said, “I don’t think this animal deserves to be out in our society, walking alongside our women.”

Wright said,”Liberals call me and tell me the chain-gang form of justice isn’t working. Well, let me inform you, your form of justice isn’t working either.”

The LA Times highlights this bit from his conference:

Wright suggested that the women of Spartanburg carry their weapons in fanny packs. “You can conceal a small pistol in them,” he said. “They got one called The Judge that shoots a .45 or a .410 shell. You ain’t got to be accurate. You just have to get close.”

Gun control, he said, “is when you can get your barrel back on the target quick. That’s gun control.”

Amen, Sheriff. I have but one quibble – fanny packs? Those aren’t very fashionable. Can someone at least manufacture some cute ones, please?

The stark difference between Liberals/Lefties and Conservatives is most apparent when the good Sheriff expressed his frustration and sadness and said “I’m tired of looking at victims saying, ‘There’s life after this’ … I’m tired of saying, ‘We’re sorry, we can’t keep them in jail.”

That’s it right there. Sheriff Wright cares about women and doesn’t want them victimized. He is striving to help them protect themselves and be truly empowered. The Left, on the other hand, wants them to shut up. Occupy Wall Street is doing one thing at least; it’s exposing the true misogyny of the Left. Their way of dealing with sexual assaults on women at their ‘protests’? Shut the women up, handle it ‘internally’ and ‘counsel’ the RAPIST for ‘his issues‘. Um. His ‘issue’ is that he’s a rapist. How about, you know, counseling his arse right into jail? They even discourage women who’ve been violently assaulted from contacting the police. Instead, they are to go talk to people like some broad named ‘Koala’. Because THAT is what every woman needs after being assaulted – to talk to a Furry.

‘Feminists’ who only give lip service to being For the Women while they are in actuality anything but, are already pish-poshing the Sheriff’s suggestions because guns are super scary and icky. Or something. I have a hard time translating without my Bitter, Perpetual Victim Harpy to Sane Woman dictionary. They will likely take umbrage at this statement made by the Sheriff: “”I don’t think this animal deserves to be out in our society, walking alongside our women.” Our women! What a chauvanist, they’ll fret. Their grievance mongering minds have been so deluded that they don’t even realize that it’s the opposite of chauvinist. It’s care and respect for women. It puts women in a higher position to be respected and cared for and protected. And, of course, there are already the oh-so-predictable cries of ‘but – what about fair trials! Vigilantism!” and ‘oh noes, presuming guilt before innocence’ as an idjit on MSNBC blathered today:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

The Sheriff’s response? “Well, it’s easy to fix that. Just don’t attack a woman.” But to the left, that’s just pesky logic – reality is hard for them. They are more worried about the rapists and their alleged’rights’ than they are the women being violently assaulted and raped. Let me explain a little something to you, Mr. Craig Melvin of MSNBC – when a woman is being raped, she knows she is being raped. There is no ‘presuming guilt before innocence’ because she is being raped; the assaulter is raping her. And self-defense is not vigilante justice. I’m not surprised you can’t tell the difference, though. Given that y’all on the left continue to embrace the Occupy Wall Street movement rather than denouncing it and the rampant sexual assaults therein. We women should just shut up and suck it up, right? I mean, what’s a little rape if it’s for an agenda?

Well, we here in South Carolina are instead heeding the Sheriff’s words. That is *our* right; the Second Amendment exists for just such a reason. Like the Sheriff said and like all people who are sane realize, the police cannot protect everyone, all at once, all the time. They protect the citizenry and investigate crimes as well as they can, but they cannot – and do not – stop them all. We don’t live in a land filled with unicorns and fairy dust. It’s just not possible for them to do so, no matter what. Citizens must be able to protect themselves. And we ladies here in South Carolina intend to.

“The phone has been ringing off the hook since last night,” said David Blanton, a master instructor at Top Gun Shooting in Boiling Springs.

“I’ve had 16 women call … and maybe eight to ten husbands call who want their wives to go through my class,” Blanton said. “It’s been nuts.”

That’s empowerment, baby.
