Newsflash: Liberals Oppose Working Mothers
Author: Michael Eden
About the Author: The Party of Kennedy is NOT the Party of Pelosi. The Democratic Party has radically degenerated into a socialistic and postmodern perversion of its former place in American political thought. In place of Judeo-Christian values they embrace secular humanism; in place of a strong national defense they embrace a reliance upon internationalism; in place of a strong family they embrace a radical abortion agenda that increasingly includes outright infanticide.
I can't sit idly by and watch the culture war pass me by. It is time to choose sides. As Joshua 24:15 puts it, "choose this day whom you will serve."
Polls have shown that the more committed one is to (any) religious belief, the more conservative one tends to be politically. One’s views toward religion profoundly affect one’s commitment to political, social, and moral issues. In my articles, I seek to argue in favor of a religion-friendly view of culture, morality, and politics. Read more from this authorWhen I was a kid growing up in Southern California, I used to see a lot of commercials from a car dealer named Cal Worthington. He’d get upside down and proclaim, “I’ll stand on my head to beat anyone’s deal.” Well, Cal Worthington was willing to stand upside down to win a deal; liberals are demonstrating that they are willing to stand their core principals on their heads to win an election.
The New York Times suddenly discovered it’s concern for children when mothers went off to work. They’ve got something like 4 articles out today, and all of them pound on this theme that Sarah is essentially abandoning her children in running for Vice President.
So there you have it. Them damn woman-hating liberals, trying to keep women barefoot and pregnant.
Meanwhile, John McCain is really doing something for women in the workplace:
Barack Obama has campaigned on the issue of “equal pay”, casting John McCain as a villain for not supporting federal legislation widening grounds and timing for pay-discrimination lawsuits. Yet Obama may have a fair-pay issue of his own. According to Fred Lucas at Cybercast News Service, women on his staff made $6,000 less than men on average. McCain, on the other hand, has more women in key positions — and the women on his staff average slightly higher salaries than the men
And, just to make it official, the Report of the Secretary of the Senate backs that up. Obama’s supporters are talking smack about standing up for women even as they trash a woman in the most fundamental and personal way imaginable; John McCain is paying women better than men and naming a woman as his running mate. Obama, meanwhile, should have named a woman as his VP pick, and panned on it.
Obama can talk about working women all he wants; John McCain has done something about it. Obama hasn’t.
The hypocrisy on the left is frankly beyond stunning. When liberals attack Sarah Palin as being a bad mother for running for Vice President when they have for years claimed to have championed women in the workplace, it is analogous to Republicans tearing up a Democrat for being pro-life as a cheap political tactic to undermine her pull with a certain voting block. Can you imagine a Republican claiming that his opponent is pro-life in order to win liberal voters? That’s exactly what these Democrats are doing now.
It literally proves how cynical, how manipulative, how ,disingenuous, how conniving, and how amoral the Democrats and liberals engaging in this tactic are.

Michael:
I remember old Cal. (I grew up in Riverside.)
Didn’t he also do a series of “my dog, Spot,” starting with a german shepherd, then moving on to a tiger that he still introduced as “my dog, Spot”? Or was that someone else?
Monica Crowley, Saturday, said Richard Nixon predicted 20 years ago that the first woman elected to high national office would be a Republican.
I was once a Democrat. I am a Republican neo-con because I know this is where the real advances are taking place: freedom, self-reliance, self-fulfillment, equal opportunity, judging by character not skin color - these are Republican virtues, and always have been (a la Lincoln).
Yep,
Old Cal and his dog “Spot.” Spot - as the ads continued, could be a lion, or an elephant, or darn near anything.
Never bought a car from him, but I loved his ads.
Well, I ALMOST voted Democrat once. I voted for a Democrat Senator in Oregon when I lived there because he was a good Senator. Other than that, I’m a “purebred.”
In that case, I’m not going to confess all my voting sins…
I voted for our Democrat governor–twice. First of all, he’s pretty conservative. He promised not to raise taxes, etc. Second of all, the Republicans ran complete morons against him. Our state party is really weak, and we are a red state, through and through.
I’ll vote for a Democrat if he or she is truly the best candidate. It’s just that it’s happening less and less and less now.
I’m still not telling.
Tbascom voted for Bill Clinton. There, we got it out of the way.
Outed.
Twice.
I didn’t wake up until the January following the second vote. I remember the ‘doh’ moment quite vividly.
Years before that, though, I was nearly recruited by the Farmworkers movement’s inner circle - real communists.
A few years later, I was recruited by the then-President of now-defunct Franconia College in Franconia NH. At the time, the President and 2 compatriots had gone to the college with the intention of turning it into a marxist school turning our social activists. I was one of those recruited to learn how to ‘invisibly’ manipulate democratic processes. I learned a lot about group dynamics and how to ’steer’ groups.
I got disgusted and left the school after one year. The school lasted 3 years and went broke. The ‘economic distribution’ of tuition just couldn’t sustain the place. Marxist economics destroyed the institution - and that’s everything we need to know about marxism.
There’ve been a lot worse Presidents than Bill. Older Bush didn’t deserve victory in 1992. I did think that Dole would have made a fine President, though.
Of course, Bill did have some issues…
It’s the personal immorality that got to me first. The blatant denial of what he had been doing; the too many claims by women of his forced attentions.
Well, you’ll always carry the fond memories of smoking weed and quoting Timothy Leary and Jack Kerouac.
Hmmm. that was in response to #9
I heard this thing about Sarah Palin’s improper interference in the firing of a state trooper, and couldn’t help but think, “If she’d simply stuck with using them to procure sex partners, she would have been fine…”
Wow, usually colleges wait until Christian conservatives grow them into outstanding institutions - and THEN come in and ruin them. Schools like Harvard got their huge endowments by being Christian universities, not by being socialist brainwashing clinics.
Ah, those were the good old days, when you had to be tricky to start a socialist brainwashing clinic.
Nowadays, you can just announce you are starting one and the incoming funds will knock you over.
Poor Black women who have to do the same day in day out, with no husband to help her. The purpose of these articles is to get Black women mad against White women with money and husband without drawing attention to Obama’s “elitist” family situation. Obama wants to make sure his female voters do not switch to Palin so to speak.
That’s a pretty fine line to walk, BA.
