....can you hear me screaming????????????/
it's so bad I had to say it twice..........geeeeezzzze
Thanks, I need them!!!
I've always got one to share!
;-)
Thank you. :)
Laugh all you want, but do you truly understand what you are ridiculing?
Do you think your great-grandmother thought it funny at the time?
The 2nd amendment is the Equal Rights amendment.
"Laugh all you want, but do you truly understand what you are ridiculing?"
Did you read my comments? I was ridiculing the fact that the DEMOCRATS and feminists like Abzug feel that women NEED this type of "affirmation" in the form of "special days" so everyone knows how "special" we are, and the feminist agenda (which I have seen as very harmful to society as a whole) can continue.
"Do you think your great-grandmother thought it funny at the time?"
Actually, that would be Great-Great Grandmother, and I'm certain she would've laughed at the socialists as well, while she was supporting her family of four children on her own, on her farm. ;) Most of us have more important things to do in our lives than to worry that we're "special" in any particular way. It ain't braggin' if you can do it.
Women have done many more important things over the years. Working for the right to vote was one of them, but it's no more important, nor does it deserve a "special day" more than, say:
Inventing Penecillin
Forming the Red Cross
Running water and supplies to the men in battle (Molly Pitcher)
Flying fighter jets
I could go on, but you get my drift. It's just more proof of where the socialists place their priorities, and it's really NOT supporting ALL women, as they make choices in this world. We're all sick to death of the "you don't speak for me" mantra these days, but Bella Abzug does not speak for me. :)
And when Hitlery is sitting in the White House I think we'll all agree that it was a very bad idea.
Let's hope it never comes to that.
Amen to that! :)
This is more symbolism over substance.
This "deocrat" would have not lead the charge but she takes credit for the "struggle".
The purpose was to promote the "issue" not any solution.
