From TeaParty Update blog:
Michelle Obama’s Secret War on Women
One of the Democrat’s favorite Republican-bashing themes is its bogus assertion that the GOP wages some kind of “War on Women.”
It seems that a simple disagreement over whether or not the American taxpayer should have to pay for abortions, subsidize insurance payments for women’s contraception pills, or even that somehow Republicans cause or support “income inequality” between women and men is tantamount to the desire to keep our ladies barefoot, pregnant, and slaving away in the kitchen most of the time.
And in a recent speech to the United Nations, Michelle Obama took to the stage to rub even a little more salt in the wound as she proceeded to expound on the sad plight of women in America.
Although not specifically directed towards Republicans, Mrs. Obama whined: “Women here are woefully underrepresented in our government and in the senior ranks of our corporations. We still struggle with violence against women and harmful cultural norms that tell women how they are expected to look and act.”
The horror! The horror!
Hey Michelle, how about the women who are regularly raped and beaten in Afghanistan, forced to slay their female babies in China, and not permitted to even drive in Saudi Arabia ?
It seems Mrs. Obama omitted those sad facts in her speech. Now THAT is what a REAL War on Women looks like.
Even the acerbic HBO TV talk show host Bill Maher, whom we very seldom agree with, sounded downright Conservative Republican with his recent comments on the silly “War on Women” argument from the Democrats:
“We hear a lot about the Republican ‘war on women.’ It’s not cool Rush Limbaugh called somebody a slut. Okay,” said Maher. “But Saudi women can’t vote, or drive, or hold a job or leave the house without a man. Overwhelming majorities in every Muslim country say a wife is always obliged to obey her husband . That all seems like a bigger issue than evangelical Christian bakeries refusing to make gay wedding cakes.”
Well said, Bill. (Sure you won’t join our side? Oh, never mind).
And according to a recent article in Investor’s Business Daily from the Heritage Foundation’s Ericka Andersen, “The U.S. serves as a role model for those countries that treat women as less than human. The first lady should confidently remind other countries they can be better and their women, too, can have the opportunities we have here in America.”
That seems to be a much better stance to take rather than Michelle Obama’s psychological “War on Women” composed of constantly reminding them of “how bad” they have it here in America.
