Was It Worth It, Ladies?
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | September 19, 2013 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Meanwhile, now that the 2012 elections are safely past and the midterms of 2004 are still relatively far away, we have a random act of journalism here from Bloomberg. They have an article here. Headline of the article: "Women Waiting Tables Provide Most of Female Gains in US." Women waiting tables. The money that women waiting tables earn makes up most of the income gain women in America are experiencing. However you want to call these jobs. Waitresses.

Women waitresses are earning more, a larger share of all income earned by women. What Bloomberg has done here, is they've committed a random act of journalism by going behind the misleading jobs numbers to point this out. Even though the jobless rate for women seems to be improving -- seems to be -- most of the new jobs that women are getting are "lower-paying industries such as waitresses, in-home health care, food preparation and housekeeping.

"About 60% of the increase in employment for women from 2009 to 2012 was in jobs that pay less than $10.10 an hour," and this is the feminist administration. This, again, is the Democrat Party looking out for all of these disparate interest groups that make up the coalition. This is the Democrat Party, which is gonna protect women from predatory males. This is a Democrat Party that's gonna guarantee abortion for whoever wants it. This is the Democrat Party that's gonna make sure that women get all the birth control pills they want paid for by other people, including the Catholic Church.

This is the Democrat Party that's going out of its way to make women believe that it is their greatest champion -- and yet, since Obama took office, through 2012, 60% of the increase in employment for women was in jobs that pay less than $10 an hour. All this time, we've been told that it's the Republicans that have this War on Women. We're told it's the Republicans who are the sexist pigs.

It's Republicans who are engaging in a War on Women by wanting to deny them birth control pills and deny them abortion and deny them this and deny them that. It's the Republicans who don't like women. It's the Republicans who are evil. It's the Republicans who are hateful. Meanwhile, just like every other interest group that slavishly devotes itself to the Democrat Party, women voters -- Democrat women voters -- are doing horribly, compared to others.

Now, where are the feminists on this? Where are the NAGs? (That's our pet name for the NOW gang, the National Association of Gals. The NAGs.) Where are they? You have to wonder why we never heard anything about this from the news media before the 2012 election. Don't forget, this goes back 2009. These stats go back to 2009 including and after the stimulus. Why didn't we hear that the employment circumstances for women was this dismal?

Well, we know why.

All we heard about was the Republican War on Women over some manufactured question in a debate of Mitt Romney about contraception. The article points out some other statistics. "The number of men working full-time rose by one million from 2011 to 2012, while the change for women wasn't statistically significant..." Women have not gained any full-time jobs at all. So for the million jobs that men got, full-time jobs, women have not gained any.

The full-time female workforce hasn't changed under a regime that loves and cares about and protects women. Supposedly. We also learn this. "About two million married women have dropped out of the work force since 2008." Do you know the percentages of married women and how they voted, Obama versus Romney? Let me tell you, 'cause I happen to have that right here at the tips of my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, and that is Romney got the votes of married women by a 7% margin over Obama.

Two million married women dropped out of the workforce since 2008. That, again, is the Obama economy. Married women drop out. A majority of them, by 7%, voted for Romney. Now, all week, folks, I've talked about African-Americans and how in my mind they should all be livid at the Democrat Party and the policies that have resulted in these circumstances -- and it is policies, folks. I mean, 93% of the black vote goes to Democrat Party. They are totally governed by Democrat Party policy.

They have thrown their lot in and discussed yesterday, they have decided as a group that they're going to seek prosperity through politics, rather than through the economy. By that, they are seeking prosperity by investing in the Democrat Party to bring it to 'em, and it isn't happening, and women are doing the same thing. Women have decided to invest their chances for economic prosperity in Democrat Party politics rather than in working in the private sector and being apolitical.

So all of these groups throwing in with the Democrats are at the lower level of income level, they're at the highest level of poverty, their- median incomes are the lowest. We want through all of these numbers yesterday. So, ladies, I need to ask you a question. I'm serious. Given the story... Let me give you this number again: "About 60% of the increase in employment for women from 2009 to 2012 was in jobs that pay less than $10.10 an hour." So, ladies, I ask this question honestly.

I don't mean to sound -- What, domineering? -- 'cause I'm not. I don't mean to sound intimidating, 'cause I'm not. I don't mean to sound threatening, because I'm not. I don't mean to sound scary, 'cause I'm not. I just have a question for you. I don't mean to sound insulting because I'm not. I don't mean to sound threatening, mean, or any of that, 'cause I'm not. I don't mean to sound chauvinistic. I don't mean to sound above it all. I don't mean to sound condescending. I don't mean to sound arrogant.

I just have question.

Has it been worth it?

Has it been worth it to get all your free birth control and your free abortions while you're waiting tables?

Has it been worth it?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: So here we go, folks, again, based on the story from Bloomberg News, which is based on Census Bureau data. It's not based on anything I'm making up. This is Census Bureau data that Bloomberg dug deep. What we have learned here, feminism, under Obama and the Democrat Party, has come to reach its pinnacle. Women waiting on men in restaurants for $10 an hour or less, before tips. Feminism. And it's the pinnacle the Democrat Party. Isn't it a great day?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Yeah, I'm sitting here, I'm thinking about that song from Donna Summer way back in the 70s, "She works hard for the money." Little did Donna Summer know how prescient she was. This is from the disco days of the late seventies, eighties, "She works hard for the money."

Hi, folks. How are you? Great to have you here, El Rushbo, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.

Let me give you a quote from this waitress story. "Women Waiting Tables Provide Most of Female Gains in US." It's a Bloomberg story. It's census data. And here is a quote from the story. "Alexandra Allmand, 22, said it might be difficult to find a position in human resources or recruiting when she graduates from George Washington University in December. ... At the Hamilton, two blocks from the White House, Honard often waits on lawmakers and government officials, giving her a glimpse of people she would like to work with someday. This summer she served a member of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet, to whom she recommended a glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc."

This is from the story! A George Washington U grad, big deal to have waited on a member of Obama's cabinet. But she's got every reproductive device and whatever she needs.

Where is the National Organization for Women (NOW) when you need them? Oh right, promoting socialist/communist causes. They never comment on these stats nor ever say anything about the atrocities to women in Islamic countries all over the world.

When is the last time you heard their leadership say anything about the Islamist rapes, murders, female subjugation? Not to mention the genital mutilation of young girls? Probably one of the most horrific barbaric practices that Islam has produced. It's beyond my thought process that it still occurs in this day.

They disgust me even more than the race pimps.

Females elected 0bama.. TWICE. Tell me I'm wrong.

Democrats used the 'War on Women' tactic (Sandra Fluke) to scare females into voting for 0bama because they KNOW women are gullible and easily manipulated. OTHERWISE, THEY WOULDN'T RISK THIS TACTIC. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AND I WILL NOT DENY IT. IT IS FACT. RESPOND TO FACTS WITH PERSONAL ATTACKS IF YOU WISH.. Have at it.

Notice how the 'War on Women' comes around only at election time? Why do you think that is? BECAUSE IT WORKS!!!!

If the Republicans don't lift the veil on this tactic as it rears it's ugly head again with Hillary in 2016, WE ARE DOOMED AGAIN AS WELL.

Settle down there Sparky. Of course you’re right. We here know that. And you are correct, women are generally more gullible.

The problem is, that Republicans panic. They freak out and sound all apologistic and therefore sound guilty. No fight in them so the Democrats frame the issue and get away with it. And it worked.

"Waitressing is the number-one occupation for female non-college graduates in this country. It's the one job basically any woman can get and make a living on. The reason is because of their tips."

I was generalizing, but yes, "mostly liberal single-females and not most conservative females" are to blame. The schools are churning out more as we speak and this will only get worse.

And my name's NOT Sparky! And I am PASSIONATE about this issue because we will LOSE again in 2016 if Hillary runs and this 'War on Women' tactic isn't shown for what it REALLY is.. A MANIPULATIVE PLAY ON EMOTIONS FOR VOTES!

To be honest, the so-called women’s movement is about nothing more than free contraceptives and abortion on demand.

If they really cared about anything else, they would have rejected Obama wholesale.

I didn’t call you “Sparky”. That was another poster.

I do agree with you that it’s an important issue.
