Martha McSally Wants to Kick Rick Santorum
politico.com ^ | 2/17/12 | MJ LEE

Posted on 02/17/2012 8:42:54 AM PST by BarnacleCenturion

Martha McSally, the first female Air Force pilot to fly in combat who is seeking ex-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s seat in Arizona’s special election, blurted out in a TV interview Friday that she wanted to “go and kick him in the jimmy.”

“You know, I agree with many of the things that Rick Santorum says, but when I heard this, I really just wanted to go and kick him in the jimmy,” McSally, a Republican, said on “Fox & Friends,” referring to Santorum’s recent controversial comments about women in the military.

Women in the military...

This is a bell that can’t be un-rung
A song that will not be un-sung

As everyone knows, ANYTHING GOES will stick to Rick like glue.

Co. Martha McSally, will Rick get a kick out of you?

Rick gets a kick from disdain
Mere womanhood doesn’t rate like it should
So tell him, why should it be true
that Rick gets a kick out of you.

Rick gets a kick in a plane
Flying too high
like some pie-in-the-sky’s his idea of something to do
so he’ll get a KICK out of you!

I highly doubt that there will be any 5 kill aces in the future. If you do a search, they now list pilots with only one kill under the “Aces” category. (Don't flip out and correct me, I know good and well the old standard of 5)

I am a pilot myself with over 15,000 hours in various aircraft. (P-51, F-4U, C-46 among them.) I flew under part 91, Cargo mostly. A flew airshows, etc, owned my own FBO. for a few years. In the process, some of the best pilots I have ever known were Women. (Some, rather HOT ones included! Ever Heard of Patty Wagstaff?)

My point is, what ever your problem is with Women pilots, go in for help for it if you need to, but deal with it. It's not a healthy outlook.

The point he’s making (though not very well) has been tested and confirmed by the military for years. Male soldiers were able to withstand brutal and intense torture without breaking, but when they heard the screams of abused female soldiers they broke immediately. It makes you wonder how they’d withstand being made to watch the gang rape and mutilation of female soldiers by Muslim cowards.

Thank you. Liberals create gender and race issues. I made a point a few days ago that I saw three TV shows in recent days in which women hit men in a certain area and in each instance a laugh track followed. How is violence funny? And something comparable would never be called humor and would likely be termed “violence against women.” Conservative women rule. :-)

“If you do a search, they now list pilots with only one kill under the “Aces”

Is that the new Obama definition of an Ace? I wouldn’t doubt the DoD would like to redefine an Ace like that...or maybe 5 kills in a simulator. But no, an ace is NOT someone who shot down one plane.

I’ve known good women pilots. According to 100% of the people I’ve met who knew her, McSally wasn’t one.

When you’ve met a number of people who knew another person well, and without exception they despise her, there just may be fire behind that smoke.

I agree, the new “Ace” meaning for one kill goes against why I even became a pilot myself. (Bud Anderson, P-51 “Old Crow”.)

For some reason McSally became a Colonel. That designation does not exactly come out of a cereal box, and it does not come over night either. Since My family is Air Force, I could not tell you about the woman, but I still do respect what she represents, just out of traditional honor for the service if nothing else.

...She is obviously a tough cookie and would not fit in well with the country club RINOs. However, she is kind of independent conservative we need in Congress....

She is for strong borders,sanctity if every human life,enforce our immigration laws,repeal Obamacare,reduce federal regulations, etc. Sounds quit conservative to me.

No women should be in combat, period.

Why not?

Do you have specific reasons other than simple tradition?

Women should register for the draft.

Even those who oppose women being in front lines combat should support women having to register for the draft and to fulfill a service obligation just like men have to.

Yeah, it's called respect for females. Very, very few of them have the body strength of men, and as has been reported, they don't do too well in combat (I'm sure you don't agree) and the male fellow soldiers spend too much time worrying about the woman's safety rather than killing the enemy.

I feel sorry for you if you feel that women deserve an equal chance to be captured, raped, molested, and killed.

No need to throw insults: that's all people ever do in debating the issue, and it makes things superficial.

Very, very few of them have the body strength of men and they don't do too well in combat

Those could very well be valid points.

the male fellow soldiers spend too much time worrying about the woman's safety rather than killing the enemy.

That also could be a valid point.

Yeah, it's called respect for females.

There is the real motivation, or a partial expression of it, why many don't want women in combat.

So, why?

Respect for all women? The good women and the bad women equally?

On exactly what basis?

And on what basis are men alleged to merit less respect?

Do you and "St." Santorum have so little respect for women you can't let them decide what risk to take upon themselves?

He lost 61% of the women's vote in his last election.

Even in his successful 2000 reelection he could only tie his Dem opponent.

How in the world did a woman of such low intellect rise in the ranks?

My Nephew is a commander of an F-22 squadron himself. I differ greatly from your outlook. He has been in service since Desert Storm, flew countless sorties, is an “Ace”, has made several SUPER BOWL/NFL Game flybys and his comment about all the wings under his command, you won’t find one derogatory “flaming assholes” illustration in his vocabulary.

I guess that’s why he is a Colonel and has made it as far as he has. He carries a strong sense of honor, duty and respect for all who occupy the cockpit.


You obviously never served in a fighter squadron in the Air Force. Mr.Rogers is spot-on. Some of the guys are good guys and good”sticks”, some aren’t. The ones that think that they are Tom Cruise are laughable, along with the majority of female “pilots”. Your nephew knows this..he’s only playing the PC game so he can advance from 0-5 to 0-6. No mystery there...

It's not. Crudeness is the basis for comedy today; it's just not creative nor funny.

Didja' ever watch COPS when a female cop tries to take down a big lug? Huh? Didja' ever see her get thrown around like a rag doll? Huh? Using that same situation, should we let women go into combat just because they're women or because they had to meet the same physical standards as guys?

If you have the time, compare the physical requirements for being firemen, cops, and military and look at the ridiculous double standards for each.

Just to see the females with long, much longer hair, standing next to guys who got "buzzed" p----- me off immensely. You see, I was in the service and noticed the double standard in looks, ability, strength, and combat readiness.

Any country that feels a need to put women into combat is a nation that becoming pathetic.

Jessica Lynch: I was raped

Boy, didn't this story get buried in a hurry by the feminazis . . . mainly because they couldn't live off of her torment. If, again, you have time, read up as to what was done to this young lady. If you have any respect for women, you'd agree with me. If not, then you must feel that she got what she deserved because she was a POW. Forgive me, but I'm not that insensitive nor disrespectful.

Women will always have my respect. Maybe you should respect them also for being women and not fodder for the feminazis designs.
