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.

To be in the 1% you hear so much about these days you must make ~350K per year. No matter if you made 60K every year of your life and then sell your home in one particular year, you are now in the 1% that Obama wants to take 60 to 70% in government collections. Live your entire life doing the right thing and then collect your nest egg that allows you to live your remaining years without worry and pass along small bit to your kids or give to the charity of YOUR choice..no, GIVE IT TO Obama-san.

Check out this video that shows Larry King doesn’t even know the meaning of misogynistic and Michael Moore thinks the concept is funny! “Never to late to learn a new behavior,” quips Moore. (The Larry King and Moore exchange is halfway thru the video.)  |
