I was browing a feminist website the other day......I don't even recall precisely what it was I was looking for. Skimming through the articles, I noticed a comment directed toward John McCain. The comment, dripping with irreverant sarcasm, went something along the lines of, "You're a P.O.W. John??? Oh my goodness....why didn't you say so???" The author then went on to mock McCain's references to the years he spent as prisoner of war in North Vietnam.

I imagine this is the reason I can't visit a feminist site without coming away with a slightly nauseous feeling, like I've been exposed to something especially repugnant. They hold nothing sacred, not religion, not the lives of unborn children, the lives (or deaths) of men; not motherhood, fatherhood, or marriage. Not even the 5 1/2 years a man spent being tortured in a prison camp.

Overwhelmingly, odds are the woman who mocked McCain will never, EVER be in a position to make such an extraordinary sacrifice. I'll never be in such a position.....but at least I have an appreciation for the enormous amount of character it took for a man to be offered the chance to leave and refuse because other men had been there longer. That someone would mock such a man; would mock such a sacrifice is chilling. Come to think of it.....I find a lot of things chilling on feminist sites. They seem to have abandoned all positive attributes such as kindness, compassion and empathy in exchange for "empowerment". Of course, to me, empowerment looks increasingly like jaded and angry bitterness.

The more I visit feminist websites, the more convinced I become that there is only one thing they care about....the feminist agenda. They don't care about women. What's best for women, what women want.....if these things should at any time be in opposition with the feminist agenda, then they are rabidly attacked. McCain's pick for VP is a stellar example of this.

The assaults on Sarah Palin and her family have been incredibly ugly and vicious. I find it reprehensible.....unfortunately, such is the nature of American politics and I wouldn't expect it to be much different for Gov. Palin. What I do find interesting is that some of the most venomous attacks have come from feminists.

Watching the Republican National Convention tonight, I thought Sean Hannity stated it quite well. He made a comment that feminist groups don't really care about women, they only care about liberal women who promote their agenda. Very astute observation, in my opinion.

I don't know that McCain will make a great president and I would hesitate to say that his P.O.W. experience qualifies him to run a country. What I do know is that he was tested in a manner that few of us will ever be tested, and he proved himself to be a man of enormous courage and integrity......a true hero, who deserves our admiration and respect, not mockery and scorn.

Frankly there is no 'qualification' for running a country.

Good character, strong personal, social and professional values, strong moral grounding, intellligence, ability to Judge and Discriminate.... these are good indicators.

McCain's experience as a POW was a huge test of character that he more than passed with flying colours. For anyone to decry that is a very clear indication of the attacker's willing and easy appalling judgement. His sound track record of serving his country as a politician is moot considering everyone's silence on the corruption of Law and the facilitation of the marxist/feminist agenda.

It is notable that the feminists and their sick lackies are the first in line to forbid Judgement and outlaw discrimination.

Yes Kim indeed, no honor. I went to a US conservative forum over a year or so ago. The memebers were for everyone but McCain. I was the lone voice for him at that time. I argued for days that you might not like McCain on all his issues, but you must see his character and see he will do often what is best for the country over the party. There were many conservatives at that time bad mouthing him, like you hear from almost all democrats and all radical feminists now.

They demeaned much about the man, as they wanted their candidate to win and were ready to weaken a brave man's character to do it. We need a new movement to deal with such characters for their are so many and things continue to dip lower and lower into the dishonor from both sides. I cringe when I watch CNN, as the air is thick with weasels.

Very interesting article Kim.

That is a very big comment to make in such an important speech. Bravo for his courage. Do you have some more information on what the rightwing intends to do to the feminists?

.....

This is what makes it hard to vote. (for me anyhow)

I don't want the Rightwing for I am against giving the rich more money and corporations more power.

But I am against policies of the left also.

I too look at the candidates but I don't go on their past good deeds too much. Scar Face did a lot of good for his community, too. But what he was connected with was very WRONG.

Good luck in voting.

"They hold nothing sacred,"

what about their right to choose cause it is their body etc

that is the most holy of holy wouldn't you say !!!

here in Vic Australia the feminits have all but won the right to abort at 24 weeks and don't worry the abortion doctors are sharpening their scalples for the windfall from invoices to Medicare - for procedures

wimin are natural born nurturers but it must be confusing all those choices they have to poke a stick a nowdays

will I or won't I will I or won't I -

Being elected by the majority of a jury of ones peers, to run the biggest State in the
US, ain't so bad either.Let me reiterate my position that the majority of those that caaaaall themselves "feminists" are no such thing. THEY are the lackies, emboldened by "permission" to ,
winge (and otherwise consume as many resources earned by others as possible)
without the prerequisite credentials.
They serve at the end of slack puppet strings held by those
that exist, survive, and thrive on the collection cups of mayhem, in ANY geographical area where there are fruits (of other folks labor) to be "harvested" and subsequently manufactured into trinkets- "by others", and paid for- "by others", that their imagined social comforts and standingmight be addressed.

The promise of table scraps, and a warm spot near the fire, is generally enough to keep
such "activists" warm, fat, and happy. Alas, it's NEVER enough. There's ALWAYS something
"new"important enough to bark madly at, with the expectation of ANOTHER pat on the head or scratch behind the ears.

Why is it that "leaders" of successful revolutions always seem to end up in palaces with servants- and an VAST entourage of ort-fed hangers-on insulating their treasure from the hoi polloi?

Minstrels of MY generation sing about it.

*sigh*
.....to be harvested-"by others",....

I think everyone needs to get away from the generalisation that women are NATURAL anything.

Nature throws a lot of curve balls. (so to speak)

I think if men weren't raised to beleive women to be the fairer sex nor nurturers, we wouldn't have so many broken men.

Nature in the animal world is cruel. We are only animals. Not gods and goddesses.

For all we really know, we may be perfect. Maybe we aren't meant to be anything more than we are.

Natural nurturers, no way. Women are exactly the same as men when it comes to nurture. Some are good at it while others aren't.

""I think everyone needs to get away from the generalisation that women are NATURAL anything. ""

I know it but I was alluding to the recurring theme of the feminits blanket propaganda that wimin are natural born nurturers ha ha ha

Yes, I am sure you know it.

I guess the nurturing part has to do with being a mother as in carrying a baby for 9 months and then delivering it and then raising it. (OK, maybe it is not a good description. PC off the radar in my home)

I do find it easier to relate to parents than men and women who have never had a child. There is something that makes them different in their behaviour and treatment.
