To Jim, from another thread from yesterday: You commented on my comment "The best way to make an enemy is to tell a man he doesn't count." I stole that quote from Frank at ConservativeCave.com. He mods & lurks in the DUmpster, where we make fun of the DU. A wise man. I just wanted to attribute.

Feminists and Feminazis
The title epithet, “feminazis,” is a word popularized by Rush Limbaugh to describe extremist feminists who have adopted feminism as a last resort to conceal a basic lack of attractiveness and for whom the rite and right of abortion border on the sacramental. Rush is sometimes a tad less kind and, after three wives, he may be a tad jaded so we’ll leave it at that.
I don’t know if Jessica Valenti quite fits that definition; she certainly doesn’t when contrasted with the late Betty Friedan whose book, The Feminine Mystique, had to have been written with a ton of input from women who were endowed with much more feminity and mystique than God gave Betty.
Valenti, however, does add an odd, new fillip to the decades-old struggle for . . . I’m actually not really sure just what modern feminists are struggling for. In apparent frustration, Freud said, “What do women want?” and I’m just as confused as to what feminists want.
Valenti’s stimulating contribution to the feminist evolution concerns virginity as pointed out in ” ‘Today’ Show Feature: ‘There’s No Such Thing As Virginity,’ ” by Warner Todd Huston: http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/2009/04/today-show-feature-theres-no-such-thing-as-virginity/.
To males, female virginity is a skitchy topic but unless feminazis have banished us to an underclass due to our gender I think we’re entitled to an opinion on the subject. After all, the “myopic feminist” Valenti’s opinion begs challenge. I would only add to that ”myopic feminist” is a clear redundancy.
Ms. Valenti is an ardent left-wing blogger, posting on Feministing.com as well as writing for NARAL Pro-Choice America. NARAL, originally founded in 1968 as the National Association for Repeal of Anti-abortion Laws by that same Betty Friedan and arch abortion apologist, Bernard Nathanson, changed its name after their victory in Roe v Wade in ‘73 and after the number of little dead abortion victims began to grow exponentially.
With her NARAL affiliation, it’s not much of a stretch to say Jessica Valenti is probably an ardent pro-abortionist and also probably a committed lesbian, leftist believer in the sacramental nature of extinguishing the lives of pre-born human beings in the name of feminism.
For that ilk, turkey basters work just fine for procreation and without all the fuss and muss of normal baby-making and if the product isn’t perfect, as in female, they can always just dismember and flush it and start all over again. No biggie.
The thirty year old Valenti, marital status unknown, appeared on the “Today” show to promote her new book, The Purity Myth, How America’s Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women. . . .

Where she writes anti-FEMININE articals. The Disney princesses are a favorite target on that site.
I have no problem with women doing "mens' work", but I am against women trying to copy men in clothes, hair, names and attitudes as the "feminazis" demand. There IS a diffrence between the sexes!

After another nearly four years of this crap, if the Republican challenger will run as a true conservative, he or she will obliterate this fascist; run as another McCain jellyfish, and this country is genuinely and forever doomed, regardless of what happens in 2010.

And this, while a carefully engineered "bull run" has been manufactured for 7 straight weeks by faux announcements of economic recovery. Imagine what that approval index is gonna look like when the market realizes it's been duped by the Tax Cheat and his buds.

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Good News for America, on Principle
News reports filtered through the mainstream media are best read by thinking people with a generous dollop of salt. The salt serves to add flavor and a degree of truth to those reports. There’s been some good news of late for patriotic Americans which, post-filtering, is being cast in a negative light.
Specifically, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter has finally admitted what most people have long known, that he’s not a Republican. Actually, he has been a RINO, a Republican in Name Only, for decades, ever since he fled to the Republican Party to escape certain defeat as a Democrat.
The other tidbit of positive news is that Associate Supreme Court Justice David Souter has announced his retirement from SCOTUS. He has served for 19 years on the court as a living example of George H.W. Bush’s biggest mistake as president.
Arlen Specter: Specter’s bailout from the Republican Party was long overdue but, of course, he insisted on putting a positive political spin on his decision by suggesting he was making his move based on principle. God forbid that a United States Senator concede the truth as opposed to customary political prevarication which everyone including his plastic surgeons knew was a lie.
Arlen had as much chance of winning the Pennsylvania Republican nomination as Punxsutawney Pete has of escaping his groundhog prison. Arlen was due to get whupped in a primary next year: http://www.nypost.com/seven/04292009/postopinion/editorials/specters_principle__he_comes_first_166697.htm.
Returning from whence Specter came in 1965 when he pulled a similar switcheroo and for the same reason, the probability he was going to lose the next election, Specter is no loss and could very well be replaced next year by a true Republican, former Rep. Pat Toomey.
Much is being made of his giving Harry Reid a filibuster-proof majority, which is all poppycock. With Liberal RINO’s Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins already in Reid’s pocket and John McCain, who doesn’t seem to know what he is, thrashing about for an identity, the Dems don’t need Specter except for bragging rights, bragging that a Democrat has returned to the fold. Good bye, good luck and good riddance, Arlen, and do let the door hit you in the ass as you depart. It hasn’t been good to know ya!
It’s time for a clean sweep of the Republican Party and let the chips and the country fall where they may. Then we can pick up the pieces and un-make Obama’s “re-making of America” in his socialist image. America doesn’t need re-making. It needs a renewing by returning her to traditional values, limited government, and true prosperity devoid of overbearing Obamian bureaucrats in 2012.
David Souter: Before he packs himself off to New Hampshire to live out his days reflecting on how he fooled Bush 41 into thinking he had some Republican principles, David Souter should be given an award for being the greatest flim-flam chameleon of the last two decades.
With the notable exception. . .

Berlet:
I read your posting about Ms. Valenti's book with great interest. Let me first say that I haven't read it, but it sounds like another book about how the evil white-male dominated anti-choice right wing is hurting women, especially poor women and women of color, by putting pressure on them to be virgins, whether they want to or not. Hmmm . . . My 20 year old daughter is smart, ambitious, and talented -- she is going to do an internship in Washington this summer -- and is a sophomore at a well-known liberal arts college. She doesn't have a boyfriend at this time and wants to save sex for marriage. However, she is quite liberal on most issues and supports Obama. I'm not quite sure what Ms. Valenti is getting at, but maybe I miscontrued her thesis . . .

Gays on the Warpath!
I rarely disobey my bride of 41 years.
Well, that’s not actually true since I don’t feel I have to obey her, nor she me. Like the newspaper comic strip, “Pickles,” we have achieved a detente of sorts, meaning I do what I want and she does likewise.
She did request that I cease and desist with articles about our gay brethren since they were getting redundant and because homosexuals tend to misinterpret undue attention as subliminal interest in their activities and lifestyle. When that attention is invariably of a very negative cast, that’s as logical as interpreting attention paid to alien life forms suggesting innate desires to relocate to Uranus. Yet they persist.
Thing is, in the last year or so especially, homosexuals have shown they haven’t given up or let up in their various campaigns. To avoid referencing what they’re up to implies, to them, a craven cowardice which only encourages them to pursue their strategy of intimidating heterosexuals in order to achieve their goals of not just acceptance but endorsement and all that such acceptance and endorsement entails.
Rather than reiterate my views on their multi-faceted campaign of intimidation, their strategies, and goals, I suggest readers of this article type in “homosexuals” and/or “gays” on my website’s “Search” box to avail themselves of my dozens of well-researched, fully-documented, and brilliantly-written opinions on this topic.
Warning: Many of those articles are not for the faint of heart nor do they cater to that element in our society which adheres to the credo of “live and let live.” That philosophy would be fine and dandy with an adversary–and the Gay Lobby has indeed evolved into a potent and unrelenting adversary– which is capable of compromise and rational discussion. However, the Gay Lobby is fixated on a total, take no prisoners, victory.
If gays take any offense at that observation or to the content of those articles, then so be it. They should be advised that I take great offense to their agenda.
Some homosexuals get almost as turned on by the cowering of the straight majority as they do by teabagging, which is not a reference to the tea party tax protests of April 15th. No sane males would engage in the aberrant behavior which so attracts gays any more than they would encourage copulation between gays and orangutans. Gerbils seem to be their preferred partners, anyway.
Nevertheless, gays must be commended for their persistance as evidenced by their recent court and legislative victories permitting gay marriage despite overwhelming public opposition to that debasement of the institution of marriage.
Further testimony to their doggedness in pursuit of recruits from the ranks of school kids–something they deny vociferously–was last month’s outrageous “Day of Silence” staged in many of America’s schools.
Without needlessly elaborating on that now-annual event, suffice to say it involves a day promoted by many schools and dedicated to homosexual indoctrination as students are expected to sheepishly listen and learn about the wonders of being gay while being prohibited from commenting or protesting with objections.
The stated purpose of “Day of Silence” programs is to abolish bullying of homosexual students, which I would wholly endorse–if that were all the day entailed. See “Day of Silence”–”Day of Gay Seduction,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=931.
As I said, grudgingly to their credit, the new breed of homosexuals never gives up. Even a year ago I would have bet all I own that their chances of ultimate success didn’t have a chance in Hell but now I’m not so certain. They seem to have the bulk of the liberal mass media, virtually the entirety of the entertainment world, and an indeterminate but significant number of national and state legislators, and now the President of the United States, in their camp.
See here for a very favorable lesbian take on Obama’s pro-homosexual positions: http://lesbianlife.about.com/od/lesbianactivism/p/BarackObama.htm.
Not able to read minds, I can’t unequivocally delineate the motivations of gay advocates among the media and politicians although a reasonable surmise is that many closely identify with the gay agenda and, with politicos, also want their votes.
Absent a crystal ball as well as functioning powers of telepathy, I’m unable to predict the future with a great degree of accuracy. However, as of May, 2009, all indicators are pointing to an eventual, possibly imminent, smashing victory for the homosexual agenda and a crushing defeat for the forces of tradition, morality, and common sense.
Residents and churchgoers in downtown Boston can attest to the bitter scent of defeat in the air. Last Tuesday, they were harrassed by a phalanx of 30 extremely noisy gay . . .
