The War on Women

Rosie the riveter helped the war effort before the War on women

The war on women is really a war on your intelligence.  Every year politicians have to demonize the other party to get elected because they do not have anything to offer.  This year the democratic talking point is the war on women.  It all started when a 30 year old college student and political activist named Sandra Fluke was brought into prominence by Nancy Pelosi.  Fluke wasn't exactly Rosie the riveter, she was just some woman that wanted the government to pay for her birth control claiming that it was a healthcare need.   Rush Limbaugh took the bait and made some unflattering comments about Fluke and the war on women was born. 

Bush and McCain were never accused of a war on women

To say that the Republicans have a war on women is ridiculous.  The only thing that is shows is how gullible the Democratic Party views women.   The Democratic Party thinks that the level of intelligence of women is so low that they can tell women anything in order to get their votes.    Right now the Democrats know that they are in trouble.  Obama barely beat McCain, a man that conservatives did not support, even though Obama was very popular and turned out the African American demographic at record levels.  This election Obama can not run on hope and change, because he has to run on his pitiful record and economic disaster.  Due to these inconveniences, the Obama administration is showing their cards early.  

Communists tried to divide America by race and Obama
is still using the same tactics

Obama has played two cards so far in this election season.  We have the war on blacks by whites through the Trayvon Martin case.  A case brought to prominence by Obama even though the case involved a Hispanic man that killed an African American teenager.   Obama wasn’t going to let the facts get in his way and the administration and the state owned main stream media are still promoting this case as white racism against African American children.  The goal of this is to build upon white guilt and turn out the African American vote for Obama.  Operation scare the African Americans and divide the country is underway, way to go Mr. President.

Meanwhile Obama has his state owned media trumping up this war on woman.  Does Obama think that he can manipulate the African Americans as well as the women of this country?  You bet he does!  He sees dividing lines everywhere.   Sex, Race, income, region, sports team affiliation, type of dog that you own,  these politicians have no shame.   And by these politicians, I am not just saying Democrats, but they are the party that is stooping to the lowest possible level so far.  Obama is shameless.  He knows that he isn’t going to get the white vote.  Not because of racism, even though that is what the media is going to tell you.  He isn’t going to get the white vote because white people vote Republican.  This is problematic for a race hustler like Obama because white people cast about 74% of the votes in the last election, which represented the smallest percentage in history.  That means that Obama needs to turn out as many African Americans in last election and still hope that he can fool enough white people with some form of hope and change.  That isn’t going to happen, so plan b is to create a war on women and try focus his manipulation on woman.  I guess that he considers himself some sort of ladies man.

El Presidente Obama will do anything for votes

Speaking of Obama’s shameless manipulation for votes, did you hear the news about Obama giving amnesty to a bunch of Hispanics recently?  That isn’t politically motivated at all is it?  He is trying to turn out the vote, and he knows his demographics of choice.  Do you think that he is trying to represent the people of the United States or divide us for votes?   So far he is trying to get a race war going to turn out the African American vote, he is giving some form of amnesty to Hispanics to turn out their vote.  He is attempting to water down the impact of the white vote.   Now all that we have left is the Democrat orchestrated war on women.  The Democratic Party developed this war on women because they know that they need to get more of the woman vote than they did last election.  The African American turn out is not going to be what it was last election.  That election was historic and African American turnout was record breaking as a result.  Obama needs his white women, so he is conducting a war on their intelligence.  He can’t win them over with his record, with his failed promises, with hope or change, so he is going to try to win them over through division.  In order to accomplish this he needs to demonize the Republican Party with his war on the intelligence of woman.  We will find out if he can do it.  I have a feeling that he can.  Not that I have that much faith in Obama’s skills….

Morality is a big deal in Politics

Honest Abe: He always tried to be a moral politician
As a lawyer he never took a casethat he did not believe in.

In politics today a lot of people want to set morality aside and overlook the immoral lifestyles of today’s politicians.  So what if Obama grew up a Muslim and went to a radical black liberation theology church for twenty years.  So what if Obama’s preacher, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, said “God damn America”.  So what if Obama admitted to using hard illegal drugs like Cocaine.  So what if Obama broke dozens of campaign promises and lies to the American people on a regular basis.  Hey it is politics, and we overlook some of the sleaziest things when “our guy” is guilty of immoral behavior.   

My newest pet peeve is this idea that “it’s politics; so of course they are going to say what they need to say in order to get elected”.  Hillary Clinton embraced this point when she told Tunisia to ignore campaign rhetoric.   Essentially, she told the world not to pay attention to America’s leaders because we are a bunch of liars.  After hearing that do you think that the Arab world believes us when we say that America is not at war with Islam?  The lack of morality and accountability is unacceptable in today’s politics.  I realize that most of our politicians are lawyers that are trained to lie in order to get their way in court.  That doesn’t mean that we have to look the other way while we are lied to in politics.  The government expects us to trust our leaders to make decisions that are in the best interests of the American people.  I have absolutely no trust in this government.  They don’t give me any reason to trust them, and I am not alone. 

The government gives us unemployment numbers and forecasts that do not represent reality.  We have stimulus packages that only stimulated debt and the pockets of crony capitalists that “invest” in candidates.  We also have a healthcare bill that very few people wanted, but everyone has to pay for.  We have representatives that do not represent the people, because they are too busy representing their party.  This is evident during the townhall meetings before healthcare when several congressmen refused to face their constituents’ opposition to their votes.

You might be wondering how bad political decision making is linked to morality.  There is a direct link between the two.  If a politician lives his personal life with a me-first attitude, then of course he is going to bring that same attitude with him into politics.  Most of the people that we are electing into political office are political opportunists.  They have lied their whole lives, and put political agendas and big money donors before the people that they are supposed to be serving.  Their consciouses have been seared with a hot iron, and they do not see a problem with politics as usual.  Many of them preach family values, yet they live their lives completely different than they preach.  I am not just talking about the Democrat party here, I am talking about all of our politicians. 

The sad thing about this situation is that people look in the mirror and forgive the mistakes of our leaders.  People think that politicians are entitled to a second chance because many of us have fallen victim to the same mistakes as our leaders.  I pointed out Newt Gingrich’s three wives, and someone told me that I have obviously never been divorced.  This man was justifying Gingrich’s behavior which led to two failed marriages because it reflected his own past.   The difference is that this man is not running for President of the United States.  What the man that I was talking with does with his life is his business.  What you do with your life is your business, but what a President of the United States did in his life is everyone’s business.  I don't want my president to be my intellectual and moral equal.  I want someone that is better than me to serve as the president of the United States. 

We have 300 million people in this country.  Can’t we set the bar a little higher than it is currently set?  I don’t want to have a beer with the president.  I don’t want my president to be Joe Blow the taxi cab driver.  I want the best of the best to lead our country.  I don’t want to simply measure his intellectual capacity; I want to know that our leader is has a constant focus on morality.  Not a focus like Bill Clinton, who lied about his morality in order to protect his image.  I want a person of moral character that is proud of the life that he lives.  A man that wants to serve the American people out of a sense of duty, not as a sense of opportunity.

Have you ever heard the term evil genius?  It is about time that we stop placing smooth talkers, guys that we want to have a beer with, and evil geniuses into positions of power.  We need to start electing men of high moral character that can get the job done.  How much is trust worth to you?  I would like to trust the government to serve me for a change wouldn’t you?  Until America raises its expectations and demands to a certain level of morality in politics, we will continue to be lied to and misrepresented by politicians.  We need to stop defending liars and hypocrites on the political stage if we want some real hope and change in America.  The support of the lesser of two evils is getting old.  I don't want to put my support behind anyone that is evil, even if he is less evil than the other guy.  It is about time for Americans to start to insist that we have men of high character to lead our nation.
