How interesting it is to note the silence from the liberal women cheerleaders when a politically conservative woman "makes it to the top" — into a position of executive power.
Example: Condoleezza Rice.
More and more, with every passing year, Ms. Rice has been put into strategic speaking spots and administration positions, some concerning especially significant global issues.
It is Ms. Rice who was the highlighted power mover in the Middle East. She represented parties concerned about peace. She stood for calm and reason. She deliberated with those in a most contentious situation. Ms. Rice dialogued with Israeli leadership. Likewise, she spoke with Palestinian representatives. She was there, in the middle of tension, intrigue and hope.
Ms. Rice is a talented spokeswoman, skilled speaker, deliberate thinker and team player on the Bush Team. She has not tried to upstage her colleagues; instead she runs with the ball, passing it to another when necessary, ready to resurface when called upon. It appears that the President has utmost confidence in her abilities.
Therefore, it was Ms. Rice who spoke regarding putting forth another advance in the "road map to peace." It was a feminine voice. It was a woman speaking primarily with men.
Working alongside Ms. Rice has been US Secretary of State Colin Powell, the two seemingly working hand in glove, a striking encouragement to American politics.
Ms. Rice talked with Mahmoud Abbas on the West Bank. Then she met with the Israeli leadership, beginning with Dov Weisglass.
Ms. Rice’s intent put the urgency of US pressure upon both parties, especially the Arabs, to shore up the peace lines by quelling terrorist attempts against the Israelis. She also spoke with Israelis about their moving away from Gaza and Bethlehem. It was a delicate dialogue she maintained, chiefly diplomatic in content.
Ms. Rice stated that the United States would welcome most heartily a truce.
Understanding that Ms. Rice is front and center in these crucial deliberations is to understand that a female leader is putting in place peace frames for the future. It is a woman working ably among men. It is a female who is not touting her womanhood but is living it out graciously, yet forthrightly.
Noting Ms. Rice speak to one audience after another is an enriching experience. She is noble. She is impressive, patient and courteous. She is knowledgeable and particularly talented in weighing issues’ pros and cons.
But does the feminist movement take note of this female leadership who is highlighted within a politically conservative context? No. The feminist movement at such a juncture shows its bias most plainly and disgustingly. As women of politically liberal persuasion seek to evangelize other women for their liberal causes, they continue to put up the walls. They continue to parade their own exclusive natures. They are as closed minded as closed-minded can be in that they will not tolerate dialogue with a genuine, intelligent conservative like unto Ms. Rice.
Of course, Ms. Rice could not care about being shunned by the political opposition. She is too consumed with her mission to be drawn aside by those who are prone to ignore her abilities. She has chosen a higher road of principal rather than pandering for attention from the feminists.
But it is always alarming, yet confirming of their prejudice, that feminists who claim to be reaching out for the welfare of all women worldwide will shut out any politically conservative females. The latter are an especial threat to the politically liberal agenda. For that reason, the feminists fear the conservative female. The feminists fright at any accomplishments by women of conservative persuasion.
It's all about abortion...period.
NO.
Let me be the first to say, "why h*ll, no!"
You're fast, man, you beat me to the draw...
Well...great minds think alike...some just pull the trigger faster...no offense...just depends which way you're looking when the moment comes...
heck, i'm still waiting for one word from the socialists of thanks or recognition to the Bush administration and Military for freeing the Afghani woman and young girls of horrible oppression and obuse.
She has got to be the most hated creation in a lib mind,a black,female,Republican.
An even more imperative question:
WILL FEMINISTS DENOUNCE ISLAM?
Ms. Rice is Dr. Rice and the feminists have no interest in average women advancing in this society or in any society.
The fact that the first voter in the Afghan elections was a 19-year old woman, one of four million women who were voting in a free election for the first time in Afghan history, is not praised by the feminists.
Their's is a radical leftist agenda, not a movement to advance women. Just as the environmental movement, which has been taken over by the communists, is interested in destroying capitalism, not in saving the environment.
The only way the left can win is if America loses. (Not a bad tag line, eh?)
You left out one more credential..
She has got to be the most hated creation in a lib mind,a black,female,Republican AND SUCCESSFUL.
It's the last part that really drive 'em apesh*t because the libs know that means they've thrown off the chains and don't need them.
I like the one you've got.
There is NO third choice.
Will Feminists praise C Rice? Not on your bippie!
The feminazis will stick to their demented liberal agenda.
People with low IQs hate the intelligent and principled
ones, doncha know?
NO.
Condi Rice chose not to be a victim. Feminists only want angry self made victims who are unaccomplished.
The feminists at NARAL have already taken a stand on Dr. Rice. It's called the "Crawford Wives," a take-off on the Stepford Wives.
The long version of this insulting piece of tripe appears to have been removed from the web, but here is the trailer:

I also forgot attractive,something a lot of lib women seem to have an aversion to.
WILL FEMINISTS PRAISE CONDOLEEZZA RICE?
no.
castigate her?
bet on it.
The only thing feminist denouce are Christian Conservatives.
Libs are disgusting hypocrites. IMOHO
