Why do Democrats hate Mothers?
The Democrats continue to give us gifts. Here is NOW President Terry O'Neill on Ann Romney:
TERRY ONEILL: What would we be saying if Hillary Clinton had said this: that Ann Romney has never, has not worked for pay outside the home a day in her life? Thats my understanding thats an accurate statement, and that raises the exact issue that Hilary Rosen was trying to get to, which is do Mr. & Mrs. Romney have the kind of life experience and if not, the imagination, to really understand what most American families are going through right now? I think that that was what Hilary was getting out, and so she left out the words for pay outside the home.
Lack life experience and imagination because they raised their children? Are you freaking kidding me?
That's your modern day feminist I suppose. Why support woman in all walks of life when you can marginalize and demean some (stay at home Moms) while support those who choose to leave the kids with babysitters.

To: Starman417
FOLLOW THE MONEY - "housewives" don't pay income taxes...plain and simple.
And they give working democrat women someone to look down on.
Probably if these peoples' Mothers would have stayed at home, they wouldn't be democrats today, they would have been taught some morals and values.
No worries though, once they manage to abort and kill off all of the conservatives (read: grown-ups), they'll just fight amongst themselves for the bounty, just like pirates, until they're all gone too.
Prosperity, like freedom, must be constantly attended to, or both will dry up. The loyal subjects of obamaland might someday succeed in taking all we have, but once its used up, its used up...once all of the producers have shrugged, or gone before death panels.
The ignorant street gnomes live in a fantasy world and through their crack-fogged brains will buy and believe any fantasy obama cares to utter...and most of his utterances ARE fantasy.
We're not fighting intellectual battles any longer, it has devolved into "jungle law", survival of the fittest. They can't make it, so they'll just take it.
Right now they're in the midst of taking our Republic, using one of our most famous quotes - "United we stand, divided we fall" - against us.
Having become sideshow, carney, hypnotist victims from the one-eyed monster - television - we just don't seem to concern ourselves with digging for the truth, and true history. The more ignorant they are, the more they believe whatever the plug-in drug tells them; it's been said that the less intelligent amongst us, watch the most television.
The last several awards of the Nobel Peace Prize have proven beyond a doubt what a farce it is, the ones who should received these prizes are the men and women who stay at home and raise their kids to become responsible people.
I have always believed that raising kids to make it on their own in the world, IS the PRIME role of parents. My sole focus was that parents don't last forever, and my kids need to be able to make it after I'm gone. The theory worked in my case, both my kids are college-educated, successful people raising their families under those same principles.
Stay-at-home Moms - in most cases - produce happier, and more successful children. The tend to their children, not put them into the streets to allow thugs to influence them.
The "moms" who squirt out kid after kid just to increase their government stipend are populating the streets - not the world. The streets teach them to steal, to engage in violence, join gangs, and take drugs. Then - when this behavior leads to their death, or incarceration - these voodoo parents feign remorse, claiming instant victimhood status and demanding "no justice, no peach". Well, perhaps what happens to them IS "justice", in a macrabre manner.
The family is the basis and backbone of freedom; when we started paying people to procreate we destroyed the family as a unit. This self-centered society shows us parents that still have a long way to go in the maturing process; still caught up in drugs and alcohol themselves, yet populating the streets with more of the same.
It's a "good deal" for them though - have all the free sex you want, get pregnant, have the government pay for the delivery, and send you over a grand a month for EACH CHILD you produce. It's a way for them to never have to work a day in their lives...by the time all of the kids are grown, they're eligible for Social Security, food stamps and welfare.
What person that wallows in that world wouldn't want obama as president - he EMPOWERS them. His presidency reflects the "all play, no work" theme and he has convinced the ignorant that he has a "stash" and will share it if they will only vote him back into power.
But the question is, how do you put the toothpaste back into the tube? That is the conundrum we face today.
One thing is for sure, pandering to the left and to the media for Republicans is a useless drill, they are brainwashed and ideologically cemented in place, and nothing a conservative says is going to change their thought process.
It is going to take courage, and there is going to be mayhem before its over. For proof, give the average dog a bone, and just as he's gnawing on its goodness...try to take the bone away.

Lesbians is right.
They call themselves ‘feminists’ when all they are is lesbians. Why do normal women even listen to these man hating failures? The only way they achieve any relevance, if only in their own eyes, is by creating an artificial, parallel unnecessary and unwanted world where up is down and black is white.

Democrats and other liberals wage their hateful war on families and traditional American values. They should be ashamed of their selves. Since when have liberals ever demonstrated shame, except as a form of self hating guilt in support of the false premise of social justice?

“Why do Democrats hate Mothers?”
Because they made the CHOICE to HAVE children.
The WRONG choice, according to the leftist homicidal freaks.

Sixty years ago, Hollywood created a phony image of mothers — Donna Reed, June Cleaver, etc. That type of mother hardly existed in real life, but the uppity leftwing writers and producers didn’t know that. They looked at their own empty Hollywood lives and began to despise the fantasy image they created. We’ve been watching and reading expressions of their hatred ever since.

This is why they hate Sarah Palin. They can’t stand that Mrs. Palin is attractive, physically fit, had 5 kids, grandkids, ran a state government, and has a hunk for a husband. “It’s not fair!”
The whole issue is about women’s self esteem, or NOW’s lack of it.

NOW means that they need to undergo political re-education under the Feminazi model. No dissent. No escapees from the liberal plantation.
A reminder, NOW supported a known perp of workplace sexual harassment, and likely serial rapist.
NOW is not for women or their rights. They are the female arm of the liberal establishment, that is all.

Let them keep digging this hole for themselves...they will bury themselves in it.
Most Americans have mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, duaghters, friends...people they know who either stay at home to take care of their children and at significant sacrifice, or who wish they could.
These people are diss’ing them all and it will reflect on them badly.
...as if though Barack Obama and Michelle had the type of down to earth life’s experiences that these people are trying to infer that Ann Romney does not have.
I know this...even though on a couple of occassions she had to work to help financially get us through, for most of our lives my wife, Gail, has been able to stay at home and raise five children. Doing so, meeting all of those needs and demands, doing all the shopping, dealing with the daytime schooling and sports, juggling money and time schedules, cleaning the house, assigning xhores and keeping track of them, running them here and there, instilling good values and ethic into them...even while they fight and bicker with one another...is harder work than most of what I have had to deal with at my own jobs.
I respect unendingly those Mom’s who make that choice...because when they can, IMHO, it helps improve society and the next generation far better than a day care can. The more who want to do this and can, IMHO, the better for us all.
And in so doing, they get a more healthy dose of what real life is all about and how to make it in this day and age with food, budgeting, crisis resolution, education, etc. (the list goes on and on) than most of us professionals do.

My mother was a “stay at home Mom.” To the upper middle class, that meant organizing large events like charity fashion shows, volunteering at the local convalescent home, Children's Home second hand shop and the Republican Party. She did try to be home when we came home from school and she was a Brownie Scout leader.
Bless those ladies (and gents) because without volunteers, non-profits that do so much in our communities would be in dire straights.
I have worked outside the home all my adult life in the corporate, non-profit and local government world. I supported myself and raised two kids.
My daughter has been a teacher and is now a “stay at home Mom” of three kids under the age of five. If you think THAT is not work, try babysitting them for just one day!
Having served on a local Children and Families Commission for many years, I know that the first five years of life are the most important developmentally. Neglect and abuse during that period of time can actually shrink the physical brain - affecting development for the rest of that child's life. [ http://www.childtrauma.org/ ]
I also know that, in lieu of quality parent time, long term studies have recently shown that children who receive early Head Start and other developmental programs are more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to enter the jail population that peers of the same economic class who have not. [http://www.nhsa.org/files/static_page_files/0610CCDD-1D09-3519-ADAF419AF96C38E0/Head_Start_Return_On_Investment_Brief_LAS-yv.pdf]
Quality time from parents in literacy, numbers, appropriate behavior, sports, arts and other skills will lay a wonderful foundation upon which that child can grow into a healthy teen and adult. I would say that it is definitely a job and a demanding one at that.
The early years are also where children gain what is called “emotional literacy.” I believe that the preponderance of the evidence shows that attention given to the parenting and development of young children in their first five years has tremendous pay back in the success of that child as an adult in society and the decreased likelihood that they will require public assistance, court, mental health or other assistance.

War on motherhood?
- Insulting comments towards motherhood
- Pro-abortion to prevent motherhood
- The Obama economy hurts families, especially single income families

This is a calculated strategy. The White House is behind it, but publicly denying it.
Good. This is pissing people off, and Obama will be associated with it, despite his denials.
