“What a load of sexist crap.”
My stars and garters, did you actually use the word “sexist” with a straight face?
Here is my default position regarding women in any position except housewife, schoolteacher, or nurse, as expressed by Thomas Jefferson:
Were our State a pure democracy...there would yet be excluded from their deliberations...women, who, to prevent depravation of morals and ambiguity of issue, should not mix promiscuously in the public meetings of men. (Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval)
However, there are exceptions: Catherine the Great, Elizabeth the First, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, and now Sarah Palin.
The Republicans have long been known as “The Stupid Party.” They should now be known as “The Stupid, Cowardly, Rubber-Chicken-Eating, Surrender-Sissy Party.”
When Joe Wilson shouted out to Obama, “You Lie,” which was nothing more than the simple truth, every decent man in that room should have leapt to his feet and joined in a spontaneous demonstration, chanting “You lie, you lie, you lie,” until the Kenyan Commie had to leave the room. Instead, they left the only real man among them to twist in the wind.
But was he a real man, despite that one display of courage? He let people badger him into apologizing, when he should have stayed on the attack.
The only demonstrations of courage that I have seen from Republicans since Ronaldus Magnus have been by Republican women. Republican men, cowards, traitors, I spit in your faces. Come and do something about it.
Wow. That is amazing. If only Republican men would give speeches at tea party rallies and go on Fox News and toy with running for President then they would be courageous too. You gave Joe Wilson as an example of courage then excoriated him for apologizing. Bachmann was there. Did she jump up and applaud or meekly sit on her hands? If you think Palin is a bold and courageous leader you'd better go back and look at some of her endorsements in 2010 again. Her picks were political, not ideological, and she picked some absolute hacks. Rush Limbaugh even said she's a Republican first and conservative second.
There are some fine conservative men out there fighting every day to get our country back. Just because they don't spend all day giving interviews and FReepers don't post their pictures on every thread doesn't diminish them.
