Saracuda vs. "Feminist" Piranhas
Posted by Dave Blount at September 26, 2008 9:04 AM
Bruce Walker explains the difference between the personification of true feminism, Sarah Palin, and the rabid moonbat "feminists" who denounce her with such hatred:
What we have been taught to call "feminism" today has nothing to do with original feminism. The pseudo-feminism of NOW is simply the Ladies Auxiliary of modern Leftism. When Clinton brutally raped a woman, where were these feminists? No where. When radical Moslems right now treat women in ways that would have horrified Americans two centuries ago, where is the support for American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan? Again, no where. When a woman, lovingly supported by her husband, builds a career as a reformer against a corrupt political machine, where are the pseudo-feminist cheer leaders of the Democrat Party? Cheer leading for Obama, the product of a corrupt political machine.
What the original feminists had and what Sarah Palin has is what the pseudo-feminist party hacks lack: Principles. Feminism was based not upon the proposition of advancing "women's issues," but upon [advancing] principles of individual equality. The platform for these principles was not the Democrat Party Platform but the Judeo-Christian moral tradition of divinely created human souls. Feminism was concerned above all with the process of fairness, not the equivalence of result.
Like the civil rights movement in general, feminism has been corrupted into something its founders would not have wanted any part of.
On a tip from Byron.
