Obama Hitches his Wagon to the Radical
Feminist Agenda
Barack Obama has a habit of hanging out with
flamethrowers who espouse radical causes.
There’s Obama’s long-time associate,
former Weatherman William Ayers, who once boasted,
“I don’t regret setting bombs...I feel we
didn’t do enough.”
And Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s spiritual
mentor, who has defended the notion that Zionism is
racism, compared white kids to “rocks,”
and propounded the theory that the government
invented AIDS to kill off Black folks.
Last week Obama finally decided he had heard
enough and rebuked the Raging Reverend, calling his
latest rant “divisive and destructive”
and “giving comfort to those who prey on
hate.”
Then there’s Mr. Obama’s embrace of
radical feminism. Like Rev. Wright’s black
liberation ideology, the core of feminism is a
dogmatic belief in a malevolent, all-pervasive
conspiracy that renders its victims helpless. Call
it capitalism or the patriarchy, the effect is the
same.
And just as Jeremiah Wright spews his hatred for
American society, feminists blame every
unpleasantness on the alleged shortcomings of men.
This past Thursday New York Times columnist Gail
Collins indulged in her latest anti-male diatribe:
“Men with egos are, of course, the central
topic this week.” Every roadbump in the
campaigns of the two Democratic challengers,
Collins insists, can be blamed on those
nincompoopish, self-centered men.
It comes as an enormous relief, I’m sure,
to learn that Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi
don’t suffer from inflated egos.
Let’s take a look at the issues the
National Organization for Women is pushing --
www.now.org/issues/
-- and then compare them with the Women for Obama
website: my.barackobama.com/page/content/womenissues
. (Both bear a remarkable resemblance to the
women’s platform of the Community Party of the
USA – but that’s another story.)
As you can see, Sen. Obama is marching lock-step
with the radical feminist agenda, pretty much from
A to Z:
Abortion: Obama endorses the entire abortion
package, including partial birth abortion. The
National Abortion Rights Action League gave Obama a
perfect 100% score over the last three years.
Child Support: Obama wants to spend $4.9 billion
over 10 years to throw more low-income dads in
jail. That will force more single moms onto the
welfare rolls. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t
it?
Contraception: Obama wants to expand
teenager’s access to contraception. Remember
last month’s comment that he didn’t want
his daughters to be “punished” with a
baby?
Domestic Violence: The democratic candidate
believes that women are never violent towards their
husbands. (I guess Hillary laying tracks on
Bill’s face and singer Amy Winehouse beating
up her hubbie don’t count.)
Gender Wage Gap: Barack insists discrimination
is the reason why women chose to work fewer hours
than men, and that needs to be fixed with stronger
enforcement of the Equal Pay Act.
Math and Science: Women hold only 12% of science
and engineering jobs in business and industry. More
proof of the patriarchy keeping women down.
Title IX: Obama wants to continue Clinton-era
policies that impose government-enforced quotas on
men’s participation in college athletics.
Women-Owned Businesses: Female-owned businesses
are more likely to have their loan applications
denied. Didn’t I tell you discrimination lurks
everywhere?
Women’s Health: Obama wants to fund the
separate-and-unequal “Centers of Excellence in
Women’s Health” that turn away uninsured
men with serious medical problems.
And then there’s the matter of Michelle
Obama. An intelligent and charming woman, I’m
certain. But is she First Lady material? I have my
doubts.
At a New York fundraiser, she tweaked the
Illinois senator for not “putting his socks
actually in the dirty clothes” – a
necessary qualification, we know, for every man who
one day hopes to become president.
And at a Hollywood event, Mrs. Obama uttered
this derisive remark: “I am always a little
amazed at the response that people get when they
hear from Barack. A great man, a wonderful man. But
still a man.”
But still a man? Somehow this reminds me of the
patronizing attitude that once galvanized the civil
rights movement.
Michelle continued, “And then there’s
the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house,
and that guy’s a little less than
impressive.”
Lives with me in my house? That’s right,
Barack was a waif who showed up one day on
Michelle’s doorstep. He should be
appreciative.
“For some reason this guy still can’t
manage to put the butter up when he makes the
toast, secure the bread so that it doesn’t get
stale, and his 5-year-old daughter is still better
at making the bed than he is.”
Barack Obama, the latest hen-pecked Democratic
candidate who has pretensions of becoming the next
Leader of the Free World.
