The Fluking of America
Mar 21st
According to Bridget Johnson at PJ Tatler the democrats are planning to reintroduce the Equal Rights Amendment in Congress today. The new bill would require only 3 states ratification as it incorporates the losing votes of 1972.
As in all things democrat, “equal” doesn’t mean “equal”. It means special, and unequal. It means white men will pay – unequally. It also means the democrats think women are helpless and unable to make it on their own.
After all, if women are actually equal, shouldn’t we have to pay for our own birth control.
Pardon me while I sip my tea
Mar 14th
I’m bored to tears with the republican primary. That’s an odd thing for a political junkie to admit, but it’s true. Once I came around to Mitt, (after Perry’s debate performance and Newt’s bashing of capitalism) I guess I wanted the country to come around with me and be done with it. The country rebelled. I’ll admit being turned off by Santorum. His petulance reminds me of a high school talent contest. And I’ll never get over how miserable his kids look when dragged out on the stage every time he appears anywhere, for anything. He brought them out for his speech at CPAC. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for his daughter who looked as sad as I’ve ever seen.
There are two schools of thought in this election. The preferable one: Obama can be beaten by a garden gnome so it makes no difference who is the nominee. The scary one: The primary is weakening the ultimate republican candidate so the country is pretty much screwed.
Last night I ran into a young woman I know who is quickly becoming successful in the banking field. She told me she didn’t like Obama, but she also didn’t like any of the republicans so she doesn’t know who she will vote for. I wanted to tell her it wasn’t about likeability but freedom. Since we were in a noisy bar with 137 of our closest friends it didn’t seem like the time or place. But she illustrates the problem. She is too young to realize the president makes a difference, and this one is stealing our freedom and prosperity on a daily basis. She has no idea that the reason things are so bad in this country now is because of the president’s policies. And she is too busy doing precisely what she should be doing, working hard and living her life, to figure it out. That’s a pretty big problem and one without a solution.
That excuse doesn’t apply to another friend of mine. He’s a life long democrat and very successful former business owner. Being a democrat is a religion for him. He once wondered aloud if he could vote for me if I was on the ballot as a republican. Yesterday he sent me a link to a “Rush Tribute” called “Reformed Whores”: I asked him where the Maher tribute was. His response: They haven’t done one for him. He is a nobody. On the other hand, Rush is a somebody – thus proving it was never about women at all. What must his mind do on a daily basis to keep reality at arm’s distance?
I’m convinced the issues have to be dumbed down to the point where everyone gets that this president is opposed to the Constitutional Republic we live in, and wants more control to run it like a kingdom. And while my friend may believe he is still fighting the 1970′s war for sexual freedom, he really making it possible for government to take any choice in his own life off the table.
Critical Race Theory
Mar 11th
Clarice Feldman explains precisely why we should be very nervous about our president’s embrace of critical race theory, and the media which actively covered it up.
Go read it. You won’t regret it.
We are all Breitbart
Mar 5th
Andrew Breitbart died last Thursday and the conservative blogosphere is still talking about him. Everyone knew him. Everyone has stories. I think I only met him twice but have probably been at the same events as he several times, most recently at this year’s CPAC. He wouldn’t know me if he fell over me, but he still felt like a friend.
Andrew’s death has left people sad, like most deaths, but it has also done something I’ve never experienced before. His death has activated people. His death has resulted in all sorts of conservatives vowing to carry on his mission. We are all Breitbart now. And we are dedicated to calling the media to task for its ridiculous prejudice of anything conservative.
Because that is what it is all about. In the words of Andrew as told by Bill Whittle:
It’s not Obama, it’s not the left, it’s not Alinsky, IT’S THE MEDIA!
Come join us in carrying on Andrew’s work, here.
Sex is now a right?
Mar 4th
Last night I had dinner with a gay friend who I have known since he was born. As is always the case with me, at some point the conversation turned to politics. In the course of that conversation, he declared that “marriage is a right”. I told him to check his constitution. Marriage is no more of a right than driving a car is. Marriage (like driving) is a privilege which can be doled out as the state sees fit. It is not and never will be, a right.
This week was dominated by a Georgetown law student, Sandra Fluke. In an effort to detract from the administration’s assault on religious liberty, Ms Fluke was brought to Congress to tell us contraception is “a right” and must be paid for by everyone but her.
The whole conversation simply flabbergasted me. Ms. Fluke is a single woman, an activist for women’s “rights”, who is demanding that we that we underwrite her sex life. I don’t think I’m alone when I say I don’t want anything to do with her sex life, and I could have lived a long and happy life if I never heard of her apparant prolific activities.
Clearly I am showing my age when I recoil at the thought of women publicizing their sex lives. What on earth happened to at least a modicum of modesty? And if contraception is a “right” is sex also a right? Can we demand it? And who should be forced to supply it?
And where exactly does this leave the men of the world? I note condoms aren’t free (yet) and for men, assuming the “right” to have sex can result in lots of jail time. So please, someone tell me where the lines are. Inquiring minds want to know.
And Ms. Fluke, my guess is, your invitation to allow the government to take up residency in your bedroom will backfire on you before obtain a verdict in your first jury trial.
