The War on Women
TownHall.com ^ | 5/12/07 | Lt. Col. Oliver North

WASHINGTON -- This Sunday we Americans celebrate Mother's Day. It's been that way since May 8, 1914, when the second Sunday in May was designated as a day to honor our maternal parents. For those who are still fortunate to have their mothers with them, they will shower her with cards, flowers, love and affection. Wise husbands among us will do our best to give the mothers of our children a day of peace and relaxation.

But no culture can truly celebrate mothers unless first they respect women. In the United States women hold top positions in government, law, academia, business and even the military. Democrats claim to be the favorite of America's women. Indeed, polling data shows that upwards of 55 percent of American women vote Democrat in national elections. And Nancy Pelosi, the first woman Speaker of the House, insists that Democrats care about women's rights. Unfortunately, if Pelosi and her Democrat Party allies have their way -- 650 million women around the globe may well be abandoned to the most misogynistic abuse imaginable at the hands of radical Islamists.

Too many people in the press have too narrow a view of "women's rights".

Col. North, sir, why are you not running?

Once again, he exposes the left's blatant hypocrisy.

Mothers Day. It's a wonderful occasion for Pelosi and her comrades in Congress to reflect on what will happen to millions of Muslim women if Congress pulls the plug on their protectors.

Yep, it is a good idea, but their BDS won't allow them to do that.

You betcha, Panther, you’re on and welcome.

Ollie writes some great columns, there’s no better when it comes to our military, IMO.
