Call for a Lipstick Revolution

Watching a series about World War II, I remain haunted by one story. A soldier was relating an attack and the death of a friend in combat. He described the horrifying scene as life poured out of his buddy as he screamed for his mother. My heart wept for every mother who lost a son or daughter in battle or in life, for a young innocent boy caught up in the web of evil.

It is long past the time for women to speak up and demand an end to this painful exercise of war. Our silence has been deafening.

Let the Lipstick Revolution begin. The battle can be won: No force on earth is stronger than a mother defending her child.

Iran’s stall tactics are no accident. Adolph Hitler successfully appeased the allies before World War II by assuring them his arms buildup was no more than an attempt to restore Germany’s ability to defend itself following the devastating impact of World War I.

The German leader was betting on the world’s stupidity, and he won. Despite Hitler’s direct defiance of the Treaty at Versailles, European leaders like Neville Chamberlain continued to adopt a policy of appeasement. When they realized their folly, it was too late.

The situation in Iran is no different than Germany before World War II. Had Chamberlain’s England been the only country to suffer for his imprudent decisions, we could chalk it off as too bad for Great Britain, they elected such an obtuse man.

Unfortunately, when countries make a deal with the devil, the entire world winds up paying the price.

Iran’s egregious defiance of some kind of fantasy international community of nations is blatant and calculated. They have no fear of anyone aligning against them.

This corrupt mindset is based on a simple truth: good people will not act badly until provoked past their limit. A bully will continue to beat up a docile child until that child pushes back. Iran banks on the countries of the world taking a beating, and it is correct.

In the past few years as every world leader went about pointing a finger and repeating “bad, bad Iran play nice,” Iran continued refining and creating the technology to invite Armageddon.

Watching carefully as the same techniques were used against North Korea, Iran is certain no one would stand in their way. Aided by the usual suspects of evil, Russia, Syria and China, Iran played the world for fools, and laughed as one weak leader after another ignored their terrorist activities and buildup of nuclear capability.

Had Israel not destroyed Syria’s reactor, we may be facing an even worse dilemma than at present.

The nations criticized and clucked their tongues saying “bad Israel” in public. Then, as always, they walked behind closed doors and thanked God Israel had dealt with the problem and they need not become involved.

In recent years Russia has regularly shipped nuclear material to Iran through Azerbaijan who notified the US of these shipment. The United States instructed Azerbaijan leaders to do what they wished with the shipments.

This feigned world surprise is no more than a charade. The US and others have been well aware of Iran’s activities, and Israel has validated the progress regularly through reports from Mossad.

Once again the world has ignored a bad seed until it is too late for any amount of fertilizer to neutralize what has become a giant Oak. Now only the blood of innocents can remove this sick tree from the international landscape.

Had the most severe sanctions been implemented years ago, Iran would have new leadership today.

The saddest of all sadness is man’s inability to heed past lessons. Iran’s desire to destroy Israel and the Jews is not a claim the world hasn’t heard many times before.

Unfortunately, as Netanyahu warned that band of lower intellects that comprise the UN, when evil sets its sights on destruction of the Jewish people, the world pays the ultimate price.

Leaders of countries like Iran are a cancer on the body of the world. If ignored, it will spread quickly to destroy whatever good cells and organs it passes through.

What is so distressful about the situation we face now is that a group of evil men were allowed to laugh and mock the world. Our leaders have been impotent and blind. Now it is not they who must put their lives on the front lines to battle evil once more, it is the children.

The world is larger, the evil greater and the cost in human life will be beyond comprehension.

Had any leader had the courage to stand against this evil empire and its minions, the world would be safer. None has, so the world is not secure and may never be again.

Nuclear engagement will leave a devastating scar on earth, far greater than World War II.

Not a single country has cared enough about its people to stand up to Iran’s wicked regime and protect lives.

What can the citizenry do when we suffer for the fools we empower? Nothing. We have learned nothing from past folly. Man has proven himself to be no more than an animal roaming the planet until, as so many species before, we are extinct. Iran is rushing us toward that extinction and our so-called leaders are marching in step.

The time has come for women to take the reins and protect our children from evil.

Watching the women of Iran murdered in the streets of Tehran with no whisper of an outcry from women of the world was unimaginable to me.

Where was the outrage of Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton or the First Lady? What happened to us, have we become so complacent we care nothing for our children or our own embattled gender? Is the women’s movement the one-trick-pony pro-choice pitiful joke it appears?

Women are being stoned and malevolence is allowed to wander unfettered, plotting its murderous intent. Where are our voices? Why are we mute? Too many sons and daughters have died already as we cowered in the shadows.

As we who are complacent enough to suffer these fools of history and allow them to lead us into slaughter again, are fully aware this war may be humankind’s last.

Let the Lipstick Revolution begin and let us honor all dying soldiers crying out for their mothers. Women must hear and act to save our children now. Fight for our sisters—for our world—and pray it is not already too late!

### In the series “Postcards from Israel,” Ari Bussel and Norma Zager invite readers throughout the world to join them as they present reports from Israel as seen by two sets of eyes: Bussel’s on the ground, Zager’s counter-point from home. Israel and the United States are inter-related - the two countries we hold dearest to our hearts - and so is this “point - counter-point” presentation that has, since 2008, become part of our lives. Feel free to share with others.

Sorry, but this one is going to require a gunpowder Revolution, and frankly, much of the blame goes to our having been too “lipstick-influenced” over the past 40 years in this country. The men stepped aside while women and emotion too often drove the decision-making processes in this country. So now we have a mess to clean up.

you’re joking right?

What kind of women do you know?

A true, American woman prays, believes in God, guts, guns and Country, and can be the most fearsome foe you’d ever encounter.

But, I can only speak about the Alabama women I know :)

We don’t have enough of the “Alabama women” to counter the majority of the rest of America’s women, who lean heavily left. They have consistently supported the Democrat candidates for 40 years, they consistently support emotion over reason decision-making, they consistently support many of the corrupting influences on our national institutions, and it goes on and on. And for far too long, men have allowed it to happen. We can’t afford to anymore.

In some ways, I agree with you, and in some ways I don’t.

This country has been listening to FEMINIST women...failures. They are feminists because they simply couldn’t manage their own lives, support their husbands, nurture a family, and be professionals at the same time.

Many of us do not support them and their ideology. Some of us, the very strong ones, CAN do all these things and be very happy.

And believe me, we can be viscious when protecting our family unit. We are on the edge right now of being pushed to our limits.

We are not blind to the plucked up men in our government, nor are we blind to the feminist failures.

A lipstick revolution is not an impossibility at all.

A great example is the Israeli women who have been great warriors right along beside their husbands since the country’s inception. There didn’t have to be a revolution for them...their family unit is whole and woe to anybody that threatens it.

Ah, baloney. Look at Harry Reid, Axelrod, Emanuel, Obama, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Barney Frank, The Kennedys, Ray Nagin, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Robert ‘sheets’ Byrd, the ‘men’ in the media, McCain, Bill Clinton, Al Gore...plenty of men to point fingers at. PLENTY.

This lipstick schtick is stupid, I grant that. There are many mothers who raise fine young men and know that they’re going to do what they’re going to do. And defend this country. And they pray and wait while still living their lives and taking care of their families. These lipstick broads are an insult and crazy and Cindy Sheehan.

You didn’t read. Our culture has stepped aside for women’s influence. Every democrat/lefty you mention in your post has embraced the cultural/political/societal trends that had their origins in the feminist mindset, and the mushy ‘emotion over reason’ thinking processes that govern their lives.

I don’t want to argue about the women in America who don’t follow this bs, I know they are out there in great numbers. But the direction the country has taken due to the aforementioned influence has been extremely detrimental to the country and we can’t afford it anymore.

Israel is the only country in the world where women are REQUIRED to serve in the military. They are only banned from serving with the elite forces. They serve as border patrols, rocket launchers, and last I heard Israel had five or six women combat pilots. Israeli women were part of Israeli militia’s even before 1948.

Look, I understand that Israeli women are required to serve in the military. But the reality is, Israel has lost their way politically too, for many of the same reasons our country has lost ours. And a primary reason is that leftist ideas appeal to women, who use emotion over reason when making decisions. Leftist leadership TARGET women, knowing they are easy marks, knowing they will go mushy when the discussion gets harsh. And the most disappointing aspect is that American men have allowed it to happen.

We can certainly agree to disagree.

The implication that women do not have the ability to apply logic instead of emotion is flat wrong.

Your implication that men have the option to allow or not allow female opinions speaks volumes.

Here’s a for instance...”Women are too mushy in harsh situations...for how many hundreds of years has it been mostly women who are nurses and operate logically in very harsh situations and very harsh reality while people die.

Here’s a hypothetical...you are sending a group of men and women into the mountains of Afghanistan.

Assumption: Women cannot trek as far, carry as big a load as males, will hesitate to make the kill.

Logic: Lighter burdened they can trek as far and fast as men. They can carry their rifle, some extra ammo, and some food packs. During combat, they can man a machine gun while the male maneuvers for different positions, goes in for the close kill, can be lookouts or spotters, and free men up for combat. And of course there’s always that extra ammo they carry and extra food. And, women’s bodies are designed to feed two people at any time requiring less food because they metabalize slower.

You are right that democrats TRY to target women, but you have to remember the great number of MEN who are the liberals or we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Well, there’s just a lack of critical/analytical thinking here. You apply the same flawed logic that I hear when someone (generally a woman) says that she knows some illegals who are good people, hard-working people. Well, SO THE HELL WHAT? On balance, they are not, they come here to freeload off the system, and they have broken the law to do so. I don’t care that your gardener is a nice guy, I can point out hundreds of gang members dealing drugs and shooting people while receiving my tax dollars illegally through a corrupt welfare office run by mexicans. So NO, they aren’t good people, screw them.

I have made a general claim about the politics and thinking processes of the majority of American women, and that claim is accurate. And you counter by saying that ‘well, there are many conservative women who ‘have the ability to apply logic instead of emotion’. Well SO WHAT? On balance, they do not. And as a majority, they do not.

So, like I said, we can agree to disagree.

I haven’t made a statement on FR about immigration. So now I will.

As a person I can have compassion for these people that are coming into our country seeking prosperity and for the children they are spawning here who are American citizens now.

As an American, however, and a supporter of our sovereignty, I think they should all be rounded up, including their children and sent home. I think our borders should be secured, and that ALL immigration numbers be severaly reduced because our government cannot support them and the needs these children are creating.

I am also a conservative who thinks if we have to control population growth it is much better to spend money to round illegals and send them home, and liimit immigration, so as to stop having high dependent population, and I can’t support murdering off American babies at the rate of 50,000 a day for control.

By the way, how did this conversation go from women in combat to immigration?

I only went to the immigration issue because I wanted to use an analogy for illustration purposes.

I too have ‘compassion’ for many people in many situations. But when runaway compassion overrides right-and-wrong, law-and-order, and common sense, well, we get America in the year 2009. Which gets back to my original point.
