Like actress Sally Field, I am a mom. Unlike Sally Field, I do not live in La-La Land. We breathe a different brand of oxygen. We hold diametrically opposed worldviews. We have nothing in common but stretch marks.
Contrary to tongue-tied Sally's incoherent Primetime Emmy Awards diatribe, childbearing and childrearing experiences do not bond all women in a universal sorority of nonconfrontation. There are sheep moms. There are lion moms. We know which kind Sally Field is.
"If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, there would be no [expletive] wars in the first place," Miss Field bleated. In the Gidget Guide to Parenting, mothers are appeasers and hand-holders. Our maternal instincts supposedly lead us to shun fights and coddle bullies instead of disciplining them. There would be "no [expletive] wars," Silly Sally, because we'd all be conquered chattel if Field Diplomacy "ruled the world."
Motherhood and peacemaking are not synonymous. Motherhood requires ferocity, the will and resolve to protect one's own children at all costs, and a lifelong commitment to sacrifice for a family's betterment and survival. Conflict avoidance is incompatible with good mothering.
On the playground of life, Sally Field is the mom who looks the other way when the brat on the elementary school slide pushes your son to the ground or throws dirt in your daughter's face. She's the mom who holds her tongue at the mall when thugs spew profanities and make crude gestures in front of her brood. She's the mom who tells her child never to point out when a teacher gets her facts wrong.

“If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, there would be no [expletive] wars in the first place,”
I think the expletive proves her wrong.
You forget the Sally Fields of the world don’t like ‘confrontation’....all liberals prefer speaking one way, down to everybody else, without any chance of a rebuttal.
Thats why they do things like Gidget did....only one microphone, and they cling to it with ferocity.
Cat fight!
Good tag-line material...
A stunning correlation to Ron Paul world come to think of it.
Liberals are a people who spend their lives desperately seeking a truth they passionately deny exists.
If this debate between Michelle and Sally were a fight they’d end it, Ls-La Sally just got smoked.
Feminism is at the root of all the unhappiness, depression, dysfunction, and unfulfillment todays woman experiences. Those who follow it, that is.
If Michelle Malkin is yelling a guttermouths in the mall, I just may ask her to go shopping someday!
What was Golda’s remark long ago? ...re so called pallies....When they love their children more than they hate us, then there will be peace......
Amen, sister!
If you and Silly Sally have looks in common . . . well . . . my compliments.
Who wants: "I'm a LION Mom not a sheep Mom!"
Sally,
If mothers like you rule the world, it’ll turn men off and therefore, there won’t be any [expletive] anyway.
That will be good to prevent you and your ilk from breeding trashy lefties. This scenario will definitely prevent wars.
“If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, there would be no [expletive] wars in the first place..,”
Tell it to the muzzie mommies who dress their little darlings up in toy bomb vests.
If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, it’d be the muzzie mommies against the Western mommies. And I bet my mommy could whip their mommy.
Well thank you very much! Not being the least bit feminists, compliments are most welcome! ;)
Michelle would make mincemeat out of Gadget.
By the way, Gadget....mothers DO rule the world-just not YOUR caliber of mother.It’s the mother that most of us had growing up...the one who tells you cheaters never win,it’s ok to lose once in a while,be sure to say ma’am and sir and thank you;work hard and be honest because no one’s going to give you anything in this world,you have to work for it.My mom always taught us those things,as well as many other important things,like how to catch lightning bugs in a jar,sitting up straight at the dinner table,and,when someone hits you,hit them back...too many things to list here.Thanks mom...I love you.
I’m shocked, shocked. Michelle has stretch marks? Not a chance — bet you could bounce a quarter off her hard body.
