Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Imagine you live in a small village in Zimbabwe, and there is a hotly contested presidential election. The standing president is Robert Mugabe, and the opposition is Morgan Tsvangirai. Now imagine that Mugabe rounds up all the tribal elders in your village, you know, the folks who meat out punishments for untoward behaviors. The very folks who are intimidating in exactly the same manner a sheriff or local prosecutor might be in the U.S. Now…..imagine Mugabe convinces these law-enforcement folks to loudly proclaim they will fight any untruth said against Mubabe.

Andrew Sullivan writes for the Atlantic; Andrew Sullivan is now the FACE of the Atlantic; the Atlantic was once a storied monthly periodical for intellectual reads; it is now nothing more than the Enquirer with gloss. Andrew Sullivan is a man who despises Hillary Clinton and now has gone over the edge re Governor Palin.

From LA Times columnist Jonah Goldberg : The press corps “sees itself as the publicity arm of the Obama campaign.” Link to story: From the Washington Times by Tony Blankley, on op/ed that charges the media with failure to perform as journalists, instead acting in concert to elect Obama: “The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight-out propagandists for the Obama campaign.” And this GREAT kicker : |
