Flip Flopping Liberals Flip Out Over Palin


“Sarah Palin is to the left what sunlight is to a vampire. Her high heels have knocked them back on the heels of their comfortable shoes.”

Never has a woman been so attacked for simply being a woman. Democrats, Liberals and the media are shooting darts at Sarah Palin for being feminine. Latest to join the round table was the host of the recently concluded VMA’s on MTV. I have come to the following conclusions as to exactly why it is that Sarah Palin is being criticized and mocked.

She represents feminism, true feminism. She represents a feminism that fights for children and their lives (no matter if they are not “perfect”), that doesn’t hate men, and that isn’t pretentious and bitter. We only see the type of feminism that thinks that true freedom resembles “Sex and the City”. There’s more to life than fashion, promiscuity, fast cars and expensive vacations. Sarah is the light that cuts through the intellectual red tape and exposes feminist hypocrisy for what it really is. She takes a stance and stands by it.

They do not recognize what women have been fighting for all these years. Sarah has shown what women have known for years - they are strong, bright and capable and do not have to embrace the “feminist” agenda of gay rights, pro abortion, not to mention the political correctness / liberal agenda of energy caps, higher taxes, more government regulation, and the class war mentalities. She shows that no door was closed to her. Her choices should be admired. She and her husband should be admired for committing themselves to a marriage through the good and bad times for 20 years.

Palin is human like the rest of us. And maybe that is what is so attractive about her, she acts human. Sarah is the breath of fresh air that is needed, after years and years of hot air in Washington. She shows that there are smart women (and men for that matter) who believe in large families, who consider it noble to be a mother, who are against abortion, who bemoan the promiscuity of our times, who don’t believe that offering birth control to teens is the answer to out of wedlock pregnancy, that the most common sense answer lies in strong families who consider it a privilege and a sacred responsibility to have children. This is feminism in its truest sense!

As for all those objecting along the lines of “I don’t see the problem…isn’t it good to be pro-choice/secular/open-minded etc.” On the other hand, if the pro-choice claim were genuine, there would be no discussion of it, because the number of abortions throughout history would be zero. Everyone would choose the human experience, regardless of how they were conceived. Abortion is never the solution. The taking of another person’s life is never a reasonable response to our pain, no matter how much we hurt. To abort means to kill. To be pro-choice means that you freely support someone’s right to kill…to kill an innocent and defenseless life. There is hypocrisy in such stances. If human life is not important at the miracle of conception, how can life be somehow more important after birth? To be Pro-Choice does not mean that you are forward thinking or open minded. The whole “People will do it anyway” is also equally bogus. People shoplift everyday, people steal, so how come no one is campaigning for this to be legal?

I think that we are essentially teaching our children through abortion that we have no responsibility for our fellow man or accountability for our own actions. If a pregnant woman who wants and loves her child is killed, 2 counts of murder can be filed against the perpetrator. However, if a pregnant woman who doesn’t want her child decides to kill it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and it is even encouraged and promoted!

There are many reasons why I am Pro-life. Morality is not something that society can vote on. What is wrong is wrong, and what is right is right. No matter if 99.99 percent of the population believes something is right…IT DOESNT MATTER, if God says it is wrong its wrong.The pro-choice claim is anything but choice because the person whose life is at stake was never given that choice. To be Pro-life also means actively doing something. How many Pro-lifers have adopted a child, volunteered at an orphanage, or taken some other type of action to support their beliefs? If we are not willing to volunteer and step up to the plate, then in all honesty how big of an issue is it to us?

The media will not ask the hard questions of Obama because they want him to win, and anything negative will be overlooked, and the questioner will be attacked as being racist or a liar or both. Would the media be so kind as to afford the same excuses to me that they allow Obama? I’m tired of hearing people say that Obama can’t be held to any kind of standard. It’s really scary to see someone rant against people that “cling to their guns and religion”, when he, most obviously, has a rubber spine when it comes to his “beliefs”. He will change his rhetoric and his actions at the drop of a poll to suit his audience of the moment. He says what you want to hear, he says what you need to hear. Obama has an uncanny ability to be on both sides of an issue at once. He tries to be “all things to all men.” He will be whoever you want him to be. To the church - “I personally hate abortion”. To the abortionists, “I fully support a woman’s right to abortion.” Obama is changing his positions to get votes, and in the end, the line between right and wrong in America gets fuzzier and fuzzier… McCain and Palin have already addressed more issues that are vital for the future growth of America than Barack Obama has in the whole time he’s been campaigning. He talks “change” but is neither specific nor believable. People talk about the flaws of the Obama ticket, the biggest flaw is probably the thinking that he is the answer to all the woes.

What more is there to say, Sarah is NOT a threat to the women’s movement. She IS the women’s movement! The Democrats know that if this woman becomes the Vice President she will open the door to current feminists to see that they don’t need to subscribe to radical liberalism to shatter the glass ceiling! In the end, with your own hands in the ballot box you seal your own fate.

The Sexual Revolution- The Use and be Used Philosophy


The sexual revolution promised freedom, but resulted in captivity. It promised enlightenment, but led to new darkness. It was, in truth, a god that failed. Almost half a century ago, the prophets of the sexual revolution went mainstream, preaching a gospel of joy and fulfillment through the practice of free love.

Those prophets attracted an army of true believers, and their gospel became the unofficial creed of the postmodern West, weaving itself into the culture’s films, art, literature and lifestyle. Another gospel, however, once warned that a tree is known by its fruit and 40-plus years after the sexual revolution began, its fruit isn’t looking so good.

The dawn of contraception brought with it the deception of ‘safe sex’, a do whatever you want world, if it feels good do it, just do it! Lust and sin increase the rupture between body and spirit. When we use our own and others bodies as objects for pleasure or to fill the emptiness inside us, there is an increased break. And this is indeed what we are seeing today.

The making and breaking of feminism, the divorce culture, the sexualisation of our children, the rise of the porn culture, sex education, the break-up of marriage and family, the meaning of love, and the importance of morality in our thinking and discussions of sex all came with this sexual revolution.

Everyone has been a loser in this revolution, but it is the children who have especially suffered. We are really letting our kids down big time because of the new sexual paradigm that now reigns. It is the gospel of non-judgementalism, libertarianism and market-driven sexploitation. And its the kids that have been the major casualties.

Let’s consider the tweens, those aged between eight and twelve. They are a market niche group who are being robbed of their childhood while parents are being robbed of their hard-earned cash. We have kids being sold g-strings and coerced into looking like a porn star, or at least a rock star (often one and the same, at least in terms of appearances).

There are two main themes that run through the lives of tweens, both directly related to the sexual revolution. One is absentee parents, and all the problems associated with that major social malady. Then there is the corporate world which markets tween sexuality, promoting the media image that to be cool is to be sexual, and the younger the better.

Thus peer pressure, driven by the corporate marketeers, is replacing parental authority, as the major formative force in the lives of tweens. And the outcomes do not look good.

Sex is a passion too powerful to be left unconstrained, and in the old days, conscience, religion and the personal sense of shame kept sex in check. Today it is running out of control, and ‘stigma’ needs to be regained. Sexual mores are a matter of public concern, and we need all the help we can get in curbing harmful sexual appetites.

Mere legislation cannot compensate for the loss of social sanction. The inner directed sense of shame and guilt used to perform a wondrous task of keeping people out of mischief. But now that we have thrown out stigma, we have either the heavy hand of the law, or nothing, to help keep ourselves, and especially our young people, from engaging in harmful and destructive sexual practices.

I’m not saying that we should teach kids that sex is something shameful, it’s a beautiful, awesome, humbling experience within the constraints of marriage. I mean something where two become one, something used by God as the pro-creative mechanism can be nothing but beautiful. I’m not saying to shout it from the mountain tops, ones sex life should be private, between husband and wife, not the daily soap opera gossip as what it has become. But one does have to talk to their children about it because trust me its better for them to hear it from you. If you don’t teach them, talk to them, the world is more than willing to teach them about free love and self indulgent ‘love’. The fact remains that sex outside marriage is wrong and needs to be regarded as such.

The popular television series, Sex and the City, and now Desperate Housewives, a major premise of the show, at least expressed through its female characters, is that equality means having women acting as debauched as sex crazed men. But aping male promiscuity and crudity is hardly the path of women’s liberation. Instead it drags them down to the same vulgar and animal level. Some of the earlier feminists disapproved of promiscuity, because they knew that real power for women came through morality, not immorality.

Sadness best describes the four females on the show. And that is exactly one of the bitter fruits of radical feminism and the sexual revolution. Women were promised freedom but instead have been newly enslaved. Indeed, while men can now much more easily love ‘em and leave ‘em, women are often left literally holding the baby. So much for liberation!

Obviously, the problems with sexuality are nothing new. Sexual misuse and abuse have existed for centuries. However, since the onset of the "sexual revolution" in the late sixties, an ever wider variety of sexual problems has confronted us, these problems are more numerous and severe than ever before in human history.

The number of illegitimate births is increasing dramatically, sexually transmitted diseases are infecting adults, teenagers, and newborns at record levels, new diseases and new manifestations of old diseases are surfacing at an unprecedented rate, debate over abortion is more impassioned than ever, censorship by those offended by sexually graphic works is bitterly opposed by the artists, hate-filled confrontations escalate in the battle over homosexual rights, women express outrage over sexual harassment and date rape and the divorce rate has skyrocketed.

Today, the harmful consequences of sexual behavior are increasing at an alarming rate among the young, the old, the single, and the married. I am afraid for my relatives and friends and my children to be, in this time of sexual crisis. But through all this some of us still believe that sex can and should be the source of the greatest pleasure and human joy.

In the early decades of this century, many people were dismayed with what they saw as repressive, "Victorian" attitudes toward sex. They may have been right that some sort of change was needed, but what we now have is the wrong revolution. Ideas of the past have been replaced with worse ideas.

Any thoughts ??

Women- What’s wrong with some of us?



Open up any woman’s magazine, and you’ll see advertisements that unabashedly appeal to self-entitlement. Everything from hand soap to resort vacations is peddled with tag lines such as, “Take time for yourself,” “You deserve it,” and “It’s all about you.” Don't get me wrong, we all need a little pampering but let's face it, alot of women are selfish and are only looking out for themselves.


I see far too much of that as I look around today's world. Modern women demand all the privileges traditionally afforded us during years of the past, but also want the new freedoms of a “liberated” era. When women were placed on a pedestal they were also protected, cherished, and honored. Doors were held for them and rough language was restrained in their presence as befitted their delicate sensibilities. We don't seem to understand that those privileges were granted in recognition of a woman's special role in society.


I think the women's lib movement got it all wrong. They are making women into miniature cardboard cutouts of men instead of freeing women to be ourselves. Unfortunately, this would include letting us make choices that include staying home with our children, or even subliminating what we want at times to the needs of our loved ones, because that is what women do. It would include giving women permission to be...women, in all the variations from tomboys who never wear makeup to girly-girls who don't feel dressed without fake eyelashes, dangly earrings, and nails. There is a harshness, a stridency that grates on the nerves. They want to have their cake and eat it too!


Feminism starts in the mind. Many women feel 'ugly', so they don't even try to be feminine. Other women have been ridiculed for trying to be feminine and are afraid of being labeled. The motivation to dress and act feminine for a woman should radiate from a heart that loves God and wants to please God. If we only live right because some religion told us to, then we will be miserable. A woman should dress modestly to please God.


We were all created to PLEASE GOD. Most people strive only to please themselves. A feminine woman is a blessing to all around her especially her husband. A woman doesn't have to be ‘thin’ to be feminine, weight, height, skin and eye colour have nothing to with femininity. Femininity is a state of mind more than anything else. A feminine woman doesn't mind a man holding the door open for her, she welcomes it. A feminine woman doesn't even try to lift something bulky or heavy, she asks a strong man to lift it. A feminine woman makes a man feel like a real man because she requires his masculinity, strength, and courage. A feminist on the other hand doesn't need anything from a man, she has the mental disposition of a man already. She is a mental homosexual at a minimum. She thinks like a man. This is why so many women wear men's clothing and business suits.


Why is it so hard for women to embrace the role and purpose given to us by God? Why is femininity looked down upon? Why is the woman with a soft and gentle spirit seen as a weak subservient? Mention the word children and they break out in hives. There is a big difference between being a woman and being feminine.


Let’s dig deeper and see what we can come up with.
