21 Days until Nov 2: I am the Other Woman

[FCTP]

Yesterday Meg Whitman, candidate for Governor of California, received a huge sucker punch from her opponent, Jerry Brown. He called her a dirty name that rhymes with “bore” (like him) and starts with a “w.” You would think the women would rally around Meg but oh how wrong you are.

The National Association for Women (NOW) threw their support to her opponent! Check out more about this story at http://hotair.com/archives/2010/10/09/now-endorses-brown-within-hou...

I grew up in the 60’s and graduated from high school in the early 70’s. NOW was established during my formative teenage years and their influence on my life was big. I loved that they wanted to free women from oppression in business, schools, the military, their conservative families and any other place where women were second class. Growing up without a mother and under the thumb of a strict father, I enjoyed listening to their ideas. I believed I would grow up to be like them and be free from the struggles of a teenage girl under the rule of a horribly conservative father!

That never happened. Instead my father’s roots deep inside of me kept me on a principled path of the Conservative Woman – the other women’s movement in America. The quiet movement – too quiet I might add!

The Other Women in America …

…watched as liberal women burned their bras and posed nude on beaches to express their freedoms

...continued to love their friends as they headed to abortion clinics to get rid of a problem in their life

…married her high school sweetheart while the liberal women experienced the sexual revolution with many partners

…waited to have their children until after marriage

…raised their children to understand rules and consequences

…went back to work and became successful women in the classroom, the office, or the boardroom

…kept quiet while her liberal friends made all the noise and eradicated the moral foundation of our country.

I am ashamed to call myself “the other woman” because I allowed the extreme-mean women to take over my country. Their voices were loud and I was busy and did not have time to respond to their sanctimonious words. I thought they would grow up and get a life but they didn’t. They became mean-spirited lobbyists, corrupt politicians and angry women.

Because I didn’t speak up, the world thought they represented me. They didn’t then, they don’t NOW and I’m sick of letting them have the podium.

Another example of extreme-mean women syndrome happened last Thursday. Emily’s List president, Stephanie Schriock went after House Minority Leader John Boehner in a speech to the Women’s National Democratic Club. She warned that the number of women in Congress might drop in November and “empower a party that believes women belong in the kitchen.”

Kathryn Lopez of National Review Online asked for a comment from us on Ms. Schriock’s claims. Here’s what we gave her:

“It’s not the number of women in Congress Ms. Schriock is really worried about. It’s the number of women with Nancy Pelosi’s behaviors that she wants to keep there. The women like Nancy are behind the liberal policies that have just about ruined this country.

And, contrary to what Ms. Schriock wants you to believe, women have become more involved in politics in the last two years than they ever have. The Tea Party Movement is a great example of this.

Women who were in the kitchen, on the soccer fields and in the boardrooms have stood up and said “Enough.”

These women are now challenging the other women to a different way of running our country. America’s women want a country that is financially sound and is safe from terrorism and attacks on our homeland.

Women want to be led by common sense and we are going to vote for that on Nov 2. And, by the way, a lot of those who will be heading to DC will be new women with those common sense ideas and they will be happy to collaborate with John Boehner on righting the country and securing Liberty for all.”

The Other Women in America are coming into their own. We may be viewed as crazy by the crazies on the left but they’ve had their time and it’s our time now.

Some action items for today:

1. WATCH: This tribute to The Other Women: The Rocking ladies of the Right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36H8_gA_WUs&feature=fvw

2. THANK YOUR CONSERVATIVE FRIEND: Many conservatives have been sounding the alarm for a long time. Many of us ignored them. They deserve a “You Tried to Tell Us” acknowledgement. This will encourage them to continue the work they started.

3. SEND A MESSAGE: Let’s have some fun. Send Jerry Brown a bar of soap and tell him it’s not nice to use bad language. The Other Women raised their children better than that! Let his campaign office have some fun opening up packages of soap thinking they are getting checks for the campaign! Here’s the address: Brown for Governor 2010, 291 3rd St., Oakland, CA 94607

Wow, John, that was completely uncalled for. Just like the Times-Union, you have decided to make a judgment call about Billie's work without ever talking to her to learn exactly what it is that she does. I honestly hope you don't form all your opinions based on the bias at the Times Union.

And you are exactly right about the libertarian platform. Only in a perfect world would the libertarian fantasy government exist successfully. What's truly funny is that a libertarian-type government is exactly what the Bible says will be instituted during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ, yet since libertarians wholly buy into the "separation of church and state" hooey, I guess they will reject that as well.

And thank you for your analysis of me, though I can assure you that, though I am a decent person, I am not a "very" decent person.

Now, I have work to do and hopefully you do as well.

"Dems sucking up to unions is not even newsworthy."

Thats not what you said 2 months ago.

"You attempt to identify Ms. Sink by listing those who support her, AFL-CIO, FEA, Emily's List, etc." "You WERE trying to identify by association, that isn't fair and you know it. "

[FCTP]

John: You absolutely are oblivious to how you come across to people. You are ineffective in how you communicate. Everyone on this site appreciates debate. You are just a bully and a know-it-all and are unwilling to listen to other opinions. That is why I said you should set up your own blog. Then those that want to engage with you -- can. Signing off - Billie, the FCTP Police

[Valerie Sawyer]

John, are you a libertarian?

[Tracy]

John ,You smash one candidate for union connections while wholeheartedly supporting another with the same connections.If you want to share advice on how other people should or should not vote because of that then get your own story straight first.

[FCTP]

John. Go away. You are using this area as your own blog. Get your own website and stop taking up so much space on ours. Then let people comment on your blogs. You love to debate so why not call it. Debate with John. Goodbye

[Tracy]

John you seem to be obsessed with getting the last word no matter how many times you have to change the subject to try and "win" a debate,
Your new subject is off topic... the old subject is done
Get over it.

[Tracy]

LOL!!! sooner rather than later...

"I am not sure what you are talking about "
You responded each time so obviously you know already .
I won't waste time rehashing what I already wrote.

[Tracy]

You're all over the place again John. I already made my point about your double standard.You had no real answer for that.I see no further need to keep delving into more diversionary topics which are getting further and further away from the original topic.
And you've threatened to leave us before,so it's not like that's a new one either.
I'm sure we'll see you again, sooner rather than later.

Hey John, look what your buddy Ron Paul did (saw this in CSM and copied it):

With a federal deficit of nearly $1.3 trillion, $13.6 trillion in federal debt, and a congressional budget process in shambles, 56 Democrats and Rep. Ron Paul (R) of Texas on Wednesday called on an independent commission to look for “substantial reductions” in one particular area – the national defense budget.

In another year, calls for defense cuts on the eve of a national election would play into a toxic electoral narrative for Democrats – that is, that they are soft on defense and national security.

But with many Republicans, too, facing a “tea party” rebellion on their right, the political calculus around even big defense cuts is shifting. Libertarian and tea-party groups are calling for a major downsizing of the federal government, and Democrats want to be sure that is not accomplished entirely on the back of social programs.

If current polling trends hold, a focus on defense cuts could get a boost after the Nov. 2 elections, as new House members come with a mandate to shrink the size of government.

“We are in a zero-sum situation,” said Rep. Barney Frank (D) of Massachusetts, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, in a conference call with reporters Wednesday.

“It is now indisputable that if we do not substantially reduce planned worldwide defense expenditures, particularly on behalf of our allies who can and should be doing more to defend themselves, that we will not be able to meaningfully reduce our budget deficit without doing significant damage to our quality of life here at home,” he added.

In their “Pledge to America” as part of the midterm campaign, House Republicans previewed how they would approach budget cutting – by targeting nondefense, discretionary spending. But because the Defense Department accounts for nearly 56 percent of all discretionary spending, any viable budget-cutting proposal must go where the money is, say the 57 lawmakers.

“I am pleased to join Chairman Frank and so many of our colleagues who realize that the United States cannot sustain a military budget that costs nearly as much as the rest of the world’s defense budgets combined,” said Representative Paul – a libertarian and the lone Republican to sign on to the group’s statement.

Without identifying specific cuts, the signers are calling on the 18-member National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform – due to report to the nation by Dec. 1 – to identify ways the US can cut missions overseas and reduce personnel and weapons systems without putting national security at risk.
