If you’re Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann or any other conservative woman, you’re fair game for filthy name calling from the likes of Bill Maher and other misogynistic liberal, Marxists in this nation. I’m sure the video will be posted online someplace before this day is through.
And once again, NOW has clammed up; the useless organization that stands for no one and nothing.

From FOX News comes this, a left-handed defense by NOW if ever there was one:
A NOW rep told FOXNews.com early Tuesday it was a “known fact” that NOW does not correspond with FOX News after being contacted for comment regarding Bill Maher’s statement on his HBO show Friday that Sarah Palin was a “dumb tw*t.”
NOW never did respond FOXNews.com, but the group’s communications director, Lisa Bennett, wrote on a NOW blog later Tuesday: “Listen, supposedly progressive men (ok, and women, too): Cut the crap! Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don’t like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs.”
She also chastised the press for bothering NOW with questions about derogatory language toward women
“You’re trying to take up our time getting us to defend your friend, Sarah Palin. If you keep us busy defending her, we have less time to defend women’s bodies from the onslaught of reproductive rights attacks and other threats to our freedom, safety, livelihood, etc,” wrote Bennett. “Sorry, but we can’t defend Palin or even Hillary Clinton from every sexist insult hurled at them in the media. That task would be impossible, and it would consume us. You know this would not be a productive way to fight for women’s equal rights, which is why you want us stuck in this morass.”

The attempts are obvious.
The attempts to dumb down the American populace through liberal philosophies has succeeded to a degree, except for the fact that there still enough of US out here to put the brakes on their efforts.
Vigilance is essential.
This time it isn’t the British that are coming,….
It is the progressives.
The unions are involved in a desperate attempt to shore up the teachers’ rights.
Our tax money pays their salary, and their pension, and the health insurance benefit they enjoy.
Wake up America !!!!
I worked for a private company.
No taxpayer will ever pay for my retirement, and I would never expect them to.

It’s little wonder that more conservative women don’t enter politics. Smart conservative women are treated with the same ridicule and disdain as smart black conservatives.

Boy howdy, you got that right! The press and the left will roast you to death and your family, as well. There is nothing sacred anymore, let alone civil.
