WAR ON WOMEN?

For further information…

Is there really a war on women or is this simply political propaganda?

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court released its opinion on a Mississippi case (Dobbs v. Jackson) that restricted abortion to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.  In its 60+ page opinion, Justice Alito detailed the rationale for overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Court opinion that gave women the right to an abortion.  Basically, the Court argued that it never was a right in the Constitution.

By overturning Roe v. Wade, laws governing abortion revert back to the States and abortion is therefore dependent on the laws in the State where you reside.  If you don’t approve of the abortion law in your State, then you can do what you need to do legally to persuade the politicians in your State to change it (or you can move to a different State).  Was this part of a war on women, as some on the Left contend?

Beginning with Betty Friedan’s, The Feminine Mystique, I’ve been following the feminist movement and now follow many women’s issues.  I read Katie Pavlich’s book, Assault and Flattery, and now have a better understanding of how the Left has kept women down, while claiming that it is the champion of women.  Here are some interesting facts…

As far back as 1920, Democrat President Woodrow Wilson and the Democrat Party opposed women getting the right to vote.  Today the Democrat Party constantly fights against Second Amendment rights (the right to bear arms) which women (and men) need to defend themselves.

Democrat President Bill Clinton was an accused rapist (by Juanita Broderick) and the accuser was very credible.  Of course this was just one of many allegations made by women against him. In addition, Massachusetts Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy was a big philanderer and was responsible for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick.  Then there’s Democrat President Kennedy who had numerous affairs while President.

You might reply, “you’re referring to their personal lives, not their policies.”  True, however I only cite these examples to show the hypocrisy of the Democrat Party.   Let’s look at Democrat Party policies.  The most significant example I can think of involves women receiving welfare.  There’s a provision in the welfare law concerning women with dependent children that requires that a man can’t reside in the house of the (female) welfare recipient, otherwise the woman would be removed from the welfare rolls.  This provision has the unintended consequence that led to 78% of African-American children, and about 30% of caucasian children, being led by only one parent.  This is very important because many of societal  pathologies stem from boys being raised without fathers in the home.  Although Massachusetts Democrat Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan studied welfare in the 60’s and reported on the problem, the Democrat Congress would not revise welfare to address it, for fear of  African-American voters (even though it caused havoc in many African-American communities).

Frequently, you hear feminists say that women make 77 cents for every dollar men make.  I first heard this statistic way back in the seventies so naturally I questioned whether it could still be that amount 50 years later.  I learned years ago that it really was due to the disruption in paid work-life that most women encounter because of child-rearing.  In addition, I learned that the gap has significantly narrowed and that black women now make more than white women with the same education and experience.

There are countless examples in Katie Pavlich’s book, Assault and Flattery and I believe its message is very clear: the Democrat Party, though claiming to champion women’s rights, has actually acted opposite of what it claims.

Since the publication of Pavlich’s book, the most significant assault on women’s rights has been transgender women  competing in sports with biological women.

 

 

UNETHICAL, CORRUPT, OR CRIMINAL DEMOCRAT PARTY?

INTRODUCTION

For more information…

In the old days, political candidates would tell voters what they stood for and voters would vote for those politicians whom they agreed with the most.  With the advent of polling and the use of focus groups, politicians now know in advance what voters want and most then tailor their speeches and “promises” to tell voters what they want to hear.

Politicians usually refer to this as “spin.”  Up to a point, it is spin.  But many politicians simply lie about their real intentions before they are voted into office…and go far beyond “spin.”  This is deceit and unethical but many people are easily deceived, partly because they want to believe whatever “their” politician and political party is advocating.

How does one find out which politicians are telling the truth and which ones are conning voters?  Start with being skeptical of all politicians.  Look at their record because what they’ve done in the past is the very best predictor of what they’ll do in the future.  Finally,  don’t be fooled by great and inspiring speeches.  We live in a sophisticated and complicated age where not much in politics is what it seems.  

BODY

These are some current examples of “unethical politics?” First define “unethical”.   We’ll just jump in with specific examples and you, the reader, decide whether some behavior is unethical or not.  You should be able to verify every example I cite on the Internet using the search engine DuckDuckGo.  Let’s go:

The Republican Party or GOP (Grand Old Party) is also known as “The Stupid Party.”  The Democratic Party is also known as “The Treason Party.”  Here’s why…when it comes to political strategy, for whatever reason, the Republican Party is naive, and possibly stupid.  When it comes to issues related to national defense, security, terrorism, and the economy, the Democrat Party has demonstrated that it is not only very weak, but its policies actually make things much worse.  But these are superficial labels and characterizations, so let’s go deeper and more substantive so, for the sake of time and brevity, I’ll simply cite just a few examples that I consider unethical:

-Former Vice-President Joe Biden, now President,  for numerous corrupt and illegal activities (a “Quid Pro Quo”) with Ukrainian government officials to assist his son, Hunter, to obtain millions of dollars (see Peter Schweizer’s book, Profiles in Corruption).

-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for  political reasons, not providing for the rescue of U.S. Ambassador Chis Stevens and other Americans in Ben Ghazi on September 11, 2012. 

-Secretary Clinton for deleting 33,000 emails from her server after receiving a subpoena to provide all of her emails to a Congressional Committee.

-President Obama, for political reasons, not pushing for a “status of forces” agreement with Iraq and consequently not leaving a small contingent of American troops to protect the victory that we won there (and ISIS consequently taking over much of Iraq and Syria).

-The Democrat Party for encouraging and funding violent demonstrators at Trump rallies.

-The Democrat Party for fabricating the phony “war on women.” (read Katie Pavlich’s book, “Assault and Flattery”)

-The Democrat Party for blaming climate change on carbon emissions rather than addressing the real upcoming global cooling which is due mostly to solar flares and sunspots, specifically weak Solar Cycles 24 and 25 (read John Casey’s book, “Cold Sun,” David Archibald’s book, “Twilight of Abundance,” John Casey’s book, “Dark Winter,” and my article “Is Climate Change due mostly to the Sun and Solar Flare or is it mostly Man-Made.”).

-The Democrat Party for advocating banning guns, thus endangering the lives of millions, especially women  (see John Lott’s book, “More Guns, Less Crime,” and Dana Loesch’s book, “Hands off my Gun”).

-The Democrat Party for: 1) stealing millions of votes (see Troy E. Nehl’s 2022 book, The Big Fraud, Andrew Gumbel’s book, “Steal This Vote,” and John Fund’s book, “Who’s Counting, How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk”), and for 2) its phony “voter suppression” charges as a pretext to be against Voter ID efforts and legislation that prevent voter fraud (see Ann Counter’s book, “Mugged”).

-The Democrat Party for constantly falsely claiming that the rich don’t pay their “fair share” of Federal taxes when the fact is that the top 10% of the wealthiest pay 70% of Federal income taxes.

-The Democrat Party for trying to suppress free speech (see Kirsten Powers book, “The Silencing”)

-T he Democrat Party for turning into a political-unethical organization intent on seizing and retaining power at any cost (see David Horowitz’ book, “The Shadow Party,”  Dick Morris’ book, “Power Grab,” and Mark Levin’s book, American Socialism).

-The Democrat Party for its racist history: being pro-slavery, pro Jim Crow laws, pro Klu Klux Klan for over 150 years (see Ann Coulter’s book, Mugged).

-The Democrat Party for opposing border security, and advocating extended-family chain migration, and the VISA diversity lottery, due solely on its desire for more undocumented workers who, when they become citizens, will vote almost exclusively for Democrats.

-The Democrat Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign for jointly paying $12 million to pay former British agent Christopher Stihl for having Russians create a fake dozzier on candidate Trump and then pass it on to the FBI, who used it to convince the FISA court (and keep it secret that it was funded by the DNC and the Clinton campaign) and issue a warrant to listen in on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page and ultimately to instigate a special counsel to investigate President Trump for non-existent collusion with the Russians.

-ad infinitum.

CONCLUSION

It’s possible that any politician can become corrupted and lie through his/her teeth to the electorate.  America needs two major honest political parties.  Democrats need to do whatever needs to be done to return their Party to the honesty of one its former Democrat presidents, John F. Kennedy.  The health of the United States and all of its citizens depend on it.  It’s ultimately the responsibility of voters to keep their politicians honest by voting them out of office when they lie and deceive.  The corrupt media, however, has made it very difficult for most Americans to learn the truth about what their politicians are doing because it has taken sides, is no longer objective, and even goes so far as lying about the politicians and political Party it disagrees with.
