Why Liberals Hate and Fear Conservative Women

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


You are going to have liberals openly discuss gang raping you. You'll be photoshopped with a fishhook in your mouth while liberals publicly call you the worst, most obscene things you can imagine. You will be photoshopped into pornography, you will receive death and rape threats, you'll get strange stalkerish emails, you'll receive demeaning, sexualized hate mail, and if they can find out where you live and where your children go to school, the info will start showing up on left wing blogs, comment sections, and forums before you can say, "We know where you live, lady." These sort of attacks are not unusual or out of the ordinary; to the contrary, they are standard operating procedure on the Left when they go after strong, conservative women.

But, what about the liberal feminist blogs? Don't they stick up for the conservative women? Oh, sure they do -- just like they stuck up for Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey. To the contrary, the thing I have heard again and again from female bloggers is that the "feminist" blogs at best, turn a blind eye to the most grotesque smears aimed at conservative women and at worst, are leading the pack.

But, how can it be that liberals, who constantly pretend to be tolerant, enlightened supporters of feminism, regularly engage in this sort of crude sexism and misogyny?

There are three reasons for it.

First off, liberals believe that by virtue of being liberal, they can't be sexist, even when they say sexist things. Combine that with the feminists' willingess to turn a blind eye to misogynistic attacks on women who don't share their views and liberals feel like they have a free pass to say absolutely anything about conservative women. If you are a liberal, you can call Condi Rice "Mammy," say Sarah Palin can't love her children and be Vice-President, and post the home address of a conservative woman on your blog -- and you won't have to pay any price for it whatsoever on the Left. In fact, attacking conservative women based on the fact that they are conservative women will earn you nothing but plaudits and plugs from other liberals for "fighting back" against those bleeping conservatives.

Next up, the Left has a creepy, Stalinesque approach to individualism and politics. Unless you are a straight, white male, the Left does not seem to believe you have a right to hold an independent political opinion. Whether you're talking about blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, gays, you name it -- if you're not a liberal, they're going to try to intimidate and browbeat you back into line or drive you out of the public arena altogether. If you're black, you're a "race traitor," if you're a Jew, you're a "neocon" who's loyal to Israel first, if you're a woman, then you're a sexually repressed Stepford wife who's not qualified to hold office, etc., etc.

Last but not least, because liberals don't think that anyone other than straight, white males should be able to get away with having political opinions that differ from Ted Kennedy or Howard Dean, they do everything within their power to absolutely destroy any prominent examples, that blast their stereotypical view of the world, to tatters. That's why the Left reserves their blackest hatred for people like Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and now Sarah Palin; it's because they're living, breathing, inspirational examples of people the Left is supposed to "own," who don't want or need liberalism to be a success. That, most of all, is why liberals hate and fear successful conservative women.

Palin Saves GOP
With the low approval rating of Pres Bush and the high approval rating for Sen Obama it appeared that the the Dems would achieve a blowout victory. Then Obama made a crutial mistake by not taking Sen Clinton as VP. This would have been an unbeatable combo. Sen Biden is comical because of the politically incorrect things that he says, but he was tied for fourth place in the primaries.

Obviously this is the year for "Hope & Change", so two old white guys were not going to win the Whitehouse. But then Sen McCain made a brilliant tatical move and picked a girl for a running mate. Now history will be changed no matter who we choose.

Granted this only infuriates the ultra-feminists, but the pratical women of this country connect with Gov Palin despite what the media is trying to do to her.

Abortion vs Death Penality
I know that this is stretching the Sarah Palin connection but the media always tags her with Pro Life, so here it goes.

I have never understood why Libs are Pro Choice. They never want a convicted murder/rapists/terrorists to recieve the death penalty. They want every animal on the planet to live out it's natural life without human interference. They believe that plants and even air have rights. They would sue a doctor for millions of dollars if he/she negligently aborted their fetus. But when a young girl wants to undergo life threatening, volentary surgery, with the intention of terminating an innocent human life, that is a perfectly normal and acceptable behavior?

I don't get it.
