I'm beginning to like her commentaries more and more. This started my day off with a good laugh...because it's so true.

Hysterical Women for Kerry
By Michelle Malkin
CNSNews.com Commentary
October 20, 2004
Rosie the Riveter has given way to Sally the Sniveler.
During World War II, young Rose Will Monroe was the face of American women in adversity: strong, supportive and resolute against the enemy forces that threatened our existence.
Tens of thousands like Rosie rolled up their sleeves, gritted their teeth, and flexed their muscles in factories and shipyards and arsenals across the country.
They made rockets and rifles and bombs and boats.
They painted and drilled and welded. When they got home to their kids, they cooked and cleaned and collapsed in bed after praying for their husbands and brothers and uncles on the battlefield.
Rosie and her sisters in arms didn't have the luxury of complaining about their lack of "me time." There was a war to be won. And so, as this presidential campaign season has constantly reminded us, there is today.
But Rosie is gone. And in her place, we have Hysterical Women for Kerry.
They are self-absorbed celebrities who support banning all guns (except the ones their bodyguards use to protect them and their children).
They are teachers' union bigwigs who support keeping all children hostage in public schools (except their own sons and daughters who have access to the best private institutions).
They are sanctimonious environmentalists who oppose ostentatious energy consumption (except for their air-conditioned Malibu mansions and Gulfstream jets and custom Escalades.)
They are antiwar activists who claim to love the troops (except when they're apologizing to the terrorists trying to kill our men and women in uniform).
They are peace activists who balk at your son bringing in his "Star Wars" light saber for the kindergarten Halloween parade (but who have no problem serving as human shields for torture-loving dictators).
They are ultrafeminists who purport to speak for all women (but not the unborn ones or the abstinent teenage ones or the minority conservative ones or the newly enfranchised ones in Afghanistan).
In battleground states, the Kerry campaign has dispatched such incoherent nervous Nellies to scare the pantyhose off of young women and moms.
Kerry's sister, Peggy, landed in Ohio at a Women for Kerry rally to scare up female votes to oppose President Bush's "war against women."
At a time when Islamofascists are chopping off heads and kidnapping aid workers and plotting to kill schoolchildren, and at a time when untold numbers of malefactors are crossing into our borders, Peggy Kerry chose to whine about the alleged gender gap in white-collar salaries. "That is not fair," she said. "Let me tell you what my brother is going to fight for-pay equity."
Meanwhile, a teacher for Kerry complained: "If we lose the White House again, it is very possible we will lose public education."
In Michigan, actress/legal observer Christine Lahti rallied Kerry women by warning: "Listen up. If (Bush) is re-elected, he will appoint a (Justice) Clarence Thomas clone and reverse Roe versus Wade."
The Kerry campaign has also sent actress Sharon Stone-who recently blamed President Bush for preventing her from kissing fellow actress Halle Berry in the awful movie "Catwoman"-to drum up female votes in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.
But if Hollywood had to crown a poster girl for the new Sally the Sniveler campaign, it would be Cameron Diaz. Rosie the Riveter delivered a unifying message to her fellow American women with simple, rousing clarity: "We can do it!"
In stark contrast, here's a painful partial transcript of Diaz's vote-beseeching appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last month:
Diaz: "We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo-if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote, and those are the . . .
Winfrey: "It's your voice."
Diaz: "It's your voice. It's your voice, that's your right."
We've come a long way, baby. The wrong way. Get a grip, girls. You are an embarrassment to a nation at war.

linda, I'm surprised that you find hysteria for a political candidate so funny since you are the personification of that condition. You, just like Rosie, roll up your sleeves every morning, grit your teeth, take your mean pills and copy paste until late at night.

Not only was your post a waste of reading time again Porkloin, it's difficult for some of us to imagine you're a Bible person with all the derogatory terms you use for others. Having said that, I want you to know I thought your added "Never mind" statement was brilliant.

Michelle Malkin is the one whose book says that interning Americans of Japanese decent after Pearl Harbor was OK.
Mathews also nailed her on his show when she said that Kerry's wounds in Vietnam were self inflicted. She left with her tail between her legs.

Not hardly, she was scheduled for two back to back shows with mathews. After she refused to play along with his game plan, they canceled her second appearance.
Guess we can include Reamond in the catagory of "Hysterical Women for Kerry"
Hey, hey Ho, ho Kerry - sign the 1-8-0
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The person who has nothing for which he is willing
to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

edited to add Rosie's pic.
linda honey,
You again forgot to tell the whole story on Rose Will Monroe. She worked in the Willow Run factory in Ypsilanti, Michigan. When the war was over that factory, which was at the time, the longest building in the world made Kaiser cars.
But Rosie didn't go home and make cookies like the devoted woman you portray.
After the war, American women were encouraged to return to their kitchens to make room in the factories for the men who were returning from Europe and the South Pacific. The U.S. government even went so far as to conspire with the budding television industry to show glorified images of women performing domestic duties in the newly developed programs on television to encourage this as the cultural norm.
Ms. Monroe, unlike many women, didn't return to the kitchen after the war. She held jobs as a taxi driver, a beauty salon operator and formed her own construction company in Indiana called Rose Builders. The company specialized in high-quality custom homes.
Also linda, in case you didn't know or forgot, 1946 was the year for the highest divorce rate in the US. It seems that women liked the freedom they encountered when they EARNED THEIR OWN MONEY.
In a sense, WW2 was the start of the women's rights movement. Just as it was the start of the emerging gay rights movement. Gay men that served in the service, and that weren't married, returned to San Fransisco and New York. These places already had small, but established Gay communities.
Now you have the facts!

Funny, but linda is going to VOTE for bush.
I got news for her....the women who fought to get her the right to vote were also deemed "hysterical".
They also were vilified, ridiculed, divorced, disowned, and jailed.
They were called anti-family, un-natural, radical, un-womanly, anti-American troublemakers and worse.
But THEY were brave, fearless, intelligent, and would've kicked linda's asp for being a wienie!
linda, a little education goes a long way...try some.

linda honey,
I apologize for my unfounded comments. Everyone knows what you say is true and correct. Some of the women that support Kerry are REALLY NUTS. Too bad they couldn't model themselves after what Pat Robertson likes women to be.
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." -- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992
"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/8/92
I think that all women should reform themselves starting today. Don't you linda? OK, now that we've got that straight, get me a sandwich, a beer from the fridge, turn on the game, and rub my feet.

Yeager that reminds me of a take on the "I am Woman Hear Me Roar" line. A friend on mine changed it to "You are Woman, Mop my Floor"
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
