Imho, it is somewhat typical of the sons of women such as that to develop a hatred of women. He’s a mess.

To: nhwingut
Sir, with all due respect to you, I think I dis-agree with you. First, I will save you the trouble of checking my posts. No one on FR was or is a bigger supporter of SP than myself. And, if she were on a ballot even today, I would vote for her.
But, in the end, as she herself put it, she put “family” first. George Washington and all his loyal fighters, when push came to shove, did not put their families FIRST! 500,000 DEAD men on both sides of the Civil War did not shrink from serving their country and leaving the wife, and babies at home by themselves. Hundreds of thousands of DEAD men in WWI and WWII did not either. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, same thing, and so on. And, along that same path, lots of women did not put FAMILY before COUNTRY either and faced down death and some died leaving a grieving family at home.
When I served my country for 2 years active duty, putting “MY” family FIRST.............. was not an option. There was a hot war going on not very far from me!
I am sure I will get flamed for saying this but “oh well”. No one will ever convince me that the Giffords shooting did scare the hell out of Sarah Palin and her family. And, I understand that! If she were my daughter or wife or mother, I would feel the same way!!
But, let’s don’t put the Palins, and Sarah in particular, up on the same pedestal as all the men by the hundreds of thousands who put their country first and then paid the ultimate price for doing so;...................and, in the same vein, let’s not equate her either to those that are still out there in the arena each day taking risks by the hour (Gingrich, Romney, Paul, Santorum), not sitting at home safe around a warm fire in the fireplace knowing full well that there are still crazed shooters out there.
But for those that died, or were turned into mist in the sky by artillery and bombs,or drowned, or flew a disabled plane into the ground, to say nothing of the millions of arms and legs blown off, none of us keyboard crunchers would be here tonight.
Hopefully, since indeed crazed shooters ARE still out there, Gingrich won’t lose his nerve and we get stuck with Romney....................or, jeeezzzz........Obama! Because, clearly, Gingrich is about the only hope us TRUE conservatives have left.

To: RedMDer
" "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable Rights; that among these, are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the govern ed; that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." ~Thomas Jefferson

With all due respect, how many of those men carried, gave birth to and raised five children? Do you expect women to go into battle? Men and women are different, but both can be brave and patriotic.

Mary Ludwig Hays' noble selfless actions in the Battle of Monmouth during American Revolution earned her the endearing name of Molly Pitcher
by the American troops she was aiding . . . She was and remains a Great American Patriot! And the best way to honor Molly Pitcher (17441832)
is the following account of her efforts during the Battle of Monmouth...
Molly Pitcher's fame began two years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the American Colonies. The fight for independence
had yet to take a favorable turn toward the Colonials. As the war continued, 28 June 1778 proved to be another day of fighting with stories of bravery.
Monmouth rocked with musket and gun fire.
The colonial cannon line under General Stirling aimed the barrels of its guns straight down on the British Redcoats as they attempted to cross a causeway.
Stirling's left-wing cannons bought time for General Washington to take command and regroup General Lee's scattered forces.
The gun line met the demands of the mission.
The heat of June 1778 soared to 96 degrees as the guns barked at the British. The cannon barrels smoked, and men fell from heatstroke.
In this stifling heat, a woman, Mary Ludwig Hays, walked back and forth from a well (or possibly a nearby creek)
carrying water to the hot men and smoldering guns. Her husband, William Hays, manned one of the valuable cannons.
They were making a difference by holding the causeway.
As American men fell from wounds and heat, the woman's bucket of water (or "pitcher") became precious. The men among the cannons began to call her ...
Molly Pitcher. A large woman, she reportedly carried wounded men away from the line to shade trees as she made her trip back to the well.
During one of her many returns to the line, she saw her husband fall.
A Colonial officer ordered his gun moved to the rear to make room on the line; he had no one left to man it. But Molly Pitcher stepped forward
to keep her husband's gun roaring - every cannon was important.
