Wow. I just read this post over at Tabitha’s, and it’s like spending 10 minutes over at Canadian Cynic’s. Seriously, gynecologists don’t talk about vaginae that much (of course, unlike leftist “men”, they actually get to see vaginae).

So without further ado, grab a strong drink and settle down to read Liberals in Their Own Words:

****

Let’s look at the type of language we’re actually dealing with. I’m not talking about “I can see Russia from my house” jabs. Top Definition of Sarah Palin on Urban Dictionary:

Heinous bitch who only go elected because she sucked McCain’s dick

That fatherfucker is such a Sarah Palin that I bet she gets it on with politicians to save face. Or to moisturize face.

And it only goes downhill from there. And this is the source they were making fun of conservatives for not using to look up “teabagging”? There’s a reason I personally do not frequent the site. That language is exactly it.

Regarding Ann Coulter:

The granddaughter of Adolf Hitler, Ms. Coulter started at a young “girl” playing with toy soldiers, whom she decimated because each one was either Muslim, gay, liberal, or simply “had it coming”. She did several hours of selfless volunteer work in high school, aiding in programs in her youth group at Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, the Christian based organization “Focus On The Family”, and the prestigious Ku Klux Klan. This lovely woman then excelled onto college at Cornell University, majoring in eugenics. The author of several wonderful books such as “Slander” and “How To Talk To A Liberal (if you must)” are undoubtedly some of America’s favorites. She has also started her own religion, Coulterism, where they believe she is Christ coming back in the image of a woman. They use her classic books as their bible.Actually no. There is only one word to describe this woman (synonyms: see cunt)

Ann Coulter is a neofascist cunt who will basically do anything that goes by if it has a quarter and a penis.

Thayalan Reddy, who goes by criticbooks is another that stood out as a particularly hateful human being. This guy is a Christian hater. And honestly, most of the hate mail I get, since I have the AUDACITY to be open about the fact that I am a Christian, is religious. Here’s a sample:

Come on Christian assholes, followers of Dick Cheney and George Bush. Do you have shit for brains that you can’t institute simple reasoning

Hey christians if your mother told you that she was a virgin and that god had “begotten” would you believe her. Obviously yes. Therefore, you must be a retard if you believe that God fvcked Jesus mother.I believe that Levi fvcked Mary and Sarah Palin’s daughter.

But his hooker mother had no sense of guilt, She was in every sense very much like Sarah Palin’s daughter – proud of being a slut. But, the cunning bitch then blamed it on God.Which idiot in his right mind believes such $hit? Do you think that God wanted Mary’s pu$$y.

As usual most of the world shows such a blatant double standard with respect to Israel and frankly, everyone else that we tend not to even notice it and on occasion, like Hitler’s ‘big lie’ tend to think there must be something to it for so many to buy into it. In a way I suppose there is. Oil money and fear of terrorism by immigrants to western nations. But here are a few links which offer some clear as day thought on the matter. Of course, when the UN passed a resolution against Israel as the worlds worst actor in terms of women’s rights it was so laughable that most ignored it. But now we are down to the existential.

First, from www.thereligionofpeace.com 9 questions that should be answered before anyone can criticize the Israeli actions in Gaza. I could add quite a few myself but this is a nice list.

Next an op ed from the National Post on same subject. Pithy and spot on. It’s not that this is profound or hugely insightful. It’s that a Canadian national newspaper has the courage to make a clear moral stand. I wonder if we could find this in a British major paper or any other European one. It is worth reading even if most of us already know these facts.

As an aside,
there was an attack on an American Jewish center. I doubt this will be an isolated event. Look for more in Montreal.

Meanwhile the religion of peace advances it’s cause for world domination while nobody much notices.

The Swat Valley in Pakistan has been pretty much taken over by Taliban/Al Queda. A close look at a map and some thinking about US Canadian operations in Afghanistan plus rapidly rising tensions between nuclear neighbors Pakistan and India will show why this story deserves attention. Pakistan is losing a lot of territory to the Islamists. They are moving troops away from the allied areas and re enforcing borders with India. This creates opportunity for Islamist expansion on that front. I recently spent close to a hundred dollars I really do not have to buy a decent world map. It may have been the worlds first sub prime map loan actually. Who knew in high school physical geography would actually matter.

Also Stratfor reports more deadly mortar attacks by Islamist forces in Somalia killing ten people today alone. The amusingly named MILF continues to attack bomb and spread hatred and fear in the Philippines and the western media either ignores it or claims its a separatist group. It is not. It is a group of Islamic supremacy.

This article about Russia’s approach to Islam is quite good as well. It explains the little known use by Russia of Islamic proxy’s. The US likely did this as well during the cold war. Chechen’s where most likely funded by the US to annoy and distract resources of the Soviets during the cold war and we all know about Afghanistan and the Mujahadeen proxies for the US. However what should be evident by now to all of us is that this backfires. Not just sometimes but all the time to most of the world. Even Pakistan and Iran have used Islam as the tie that binds disparate tribes to try and create a national identity. We see how well that works in both places. Well, I suppose in a way you can say it does.

Here is an article albeit an older one from Jeff Jacoby at the Boston Globe on UN hypocrisy with respect to Israel. Lots of links as well and a good read. Perhaps the fact that this was written before even rumors of a retaliatory strike on Gaza makes it more meaningful.

This to paraphrase Dr. Wafa Sultan, is not a war of civilizations. Civilizations compete. This is a war of civilization against barbarism.

This post is timely, because during Coren yesterday, Marilyn Churley spoke of something similar.

At the behest of PINK Magazine editor Cynthia Good, Atlanta officials are replacing “Men Working” signs with “Workers Ahead” signs. It seems “Men Working” is now deemed sexist.

Good began bellowing her demands after the police took issue with her vandalizing the signs by spray-painting “wo” before “men.” Now she plans to take her campaign national.

Uh huh. I wonder how these people would feel about the French language, where you can have 1,000 women in a room, but if there is one man, the group is referred to as ils - the masculine plural. And after all, isn’t that what a modern day construction site looks like? A few dozen men, and one or two women for diversity’s sake?

Yesterday, on the Coren show, during the segment about the Anglican church, Marilyn related a story of how when she was elected as an Alderman, she petitioned City Hall to have the title changed to Councilor. My question (which was drowned out and not answered) was “Is that what you spent your constituents’ money on?”

For shame.

I used to be strongly anti-child. Mr. Right and I were happy to be DINKS. My mother was from a huge family (really, whatever number you’re imagining, her family was bigger than that), and so chose to have only one child. Both my parents are dead now, so I have no familial pressure to provide grandchildren.

But then last year, the clock began to tick. And tick. And it hasn’t ceased. I thought it was a phase that would pass; that I could just ignore it. That isn’t going to happen. There will be little Rights running around in the next few years, guaranteed.

I love the way his head nestles in the crook of my neck. I love the way his face falls into a mask of eager concentration when I help him learn the alphabet. But most of all, I simply love hearing his little voice calling: ‘Mummy, Mummy.’

It reminds me of just how blessed I am. The truth is that I very nearly missed out on becoming a mother - thanks to being brought up by a rabid feminist who thought motherhood was about the worst thing that could happen to a woman.

You see, my mum taught me that children enslave women. I grew up believing that children are millstones around your neck, and the idea that motherhood can make you blissfully happy is a complete fairytale.

In fact, having a child has been the most rewarding experience of my life. Far from ‘enslaving’ me, three-and-a-half-year-old Tenzin has opened my world. My only regret is that I discovered the joys of motherhood so late - I have been trying for a second child for two years, but so far with no luck.

Alice Walker was - and still is - a man-hating feminist who raised her child, Rebecca, in her madness. In fact, when Rebecca announced she was pregnant, her mother disowned her.

I have a feeling this is going to be a very exhausting and frustrating book to read, but there are still many emotional walls I need to break down before I consider bringing a child into my life.

We all know how well this went over the last time. I mentioned that women bloggers tend to get insulted on the basis of their looks and gender, and a bunch of mysogynists called me a fat c*nt, thereby proving my point.

Regardless of the taunts and general hate-on we’re often faced with, five more women speak out as to why they blog, what they face, and why they’re not giving it up anytime soon.

Emily, Do you think women are subjects of more vitriol in the blogosphere than men?

I think the old Marine war handbook says when you are attacking an enemy, you have to look for their point of weakness. For women, when you attack us personally, on our looks, how we dress, what we look like, it’s an automatic bullet to the heart.

What we end up getting is more of that because people know women are sensitive to it. When I get hate mail after I’ve been on television, it’s always like “You don’t know how to dress,” “You talk like a Valley Girl,” “Your earrings are horrible.” It’s never, “Your arguments are really ineffective!” (Laughs).

…I mean, I remember when I was on CNN and I basically (debated) this idiot from the HuffPo….When I got home, I had a box full of hate mail…none of it addressing my points or my argument. I got tons of emails about my earrings –how ugly they were, how cheap they looked, about how I should “go back to the mall” where I came from.

John Hawkins has an excellent piece today about some of the issues that women bloggers face - from men, and from other women. Truth be told, most of Pamela Gellar’s (Atlas Shrugs) detractors are other women (I know even I’ve gotten my hits in from time to time).

And Malkin… whoa. She hears about death threats to other female bloggers and can’t help but shrug. She gets them almost daily. She’s had to move ferkrissakes!

(We had) people posting photos of our past house…people urging their minions to come and stake out my house. ….I had tons of people email me and tell me they were going to come to my home. They posted my private phone number and I had dozens of people calling and leaving crude messages.

Although she’s not interviewed for this piece, my pal Kathy Shaidle is often subjected to rape threats… “If you just got properly laid… I’ll take one for the team…” that sort of rubbush.

As much as I am loath to admit that there has to be a difference between men and women bloggers posting about the very same subjects (in this case politics), sadly there is. Take liberal Canadian blogger Canadian Cynic. He used to have a whole category labeled “Cunt”, where he viciously maligned females in the news, and female bloggers. He has since removed categories from his blog, probably because of the flack he was taking, though really, he never seemed to mind. Believe me, it hasn’t stopped him from using the word, or maligning females. Former blogger Ian Scott of Ianisms (now defunct) had been banned from more than one blog for being downright creepy in a way that he certainly wouldn’t behave toward other men. Chances are he wouldn’t send a male blogger a pornographic description of what he would like to do to him!!

Does it bug me, personally? No, not really. I find it sad, but I have a “that’s just the way it is” attitude about it. When a male blogger/reader threatens a female blogger, he does it in a personal - often vulgar - way. When he threatens a male (if he has the balls to do so at all), he will usually do it by threatening his family, specifically his children. People who make internet threats are cowardly. They hide behind pseudonyms, don’t disclose email address or use fake ones, have cloaked IPs… they are pussies. Believe me, if they show up at your door and are greeted by your handgun, you’ll be scrubbing urine stains out of your Welcome mat.

Basically, we can’t let it get to us. Women have been silenced by men before, and we’ve ceased to allow it. We shouldn’t pay it any mind on the internet. There’s room for everyone here.

Update: Instead of adding anything worthwhile to the above subject, like a word from his female co-bloggers about any flack or threats or even support they may receive, Canadian Cynic instead chose to call me a cunt. Hmm…

This is a timely article for us Torontonians.

A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die.

“Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die,” said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.

Yet we’re told the hijab is a choice….

I’m sure even Madonna never had this in mind.

Women are being given controversial “virginity repair” operations on the NHS, it emerged last night.

Taxpayers funded 24 hymen replacement operations between 2005 and 2006, official figures revealed.

And increasing numbers of women are paying up to £4,000 in private clinics for the procedure apparently under pressure from future spouses or in-laws who believe they should be virgins on their wedding night.

Doctors said most patients are immigrants or British of ethnic origin.

So Muslim women are using Britain’s health service to dupe their arranged husbands into believing they are virgins. And Brits are paying for this. Nice.

Suffice it to say I was no virgin when I married, but it was a choice I made (sort of). I could have just kept my damn pants on and not fucked around before getting married. And I suppose if that were still what was expected of women in my society and culture, I would have cared a little more about it.

Another option for these girls is honesty. Read the comments over at the Mail. One after the other is pointing out how these women are beginning their marriages under false pretenses.

But it can also be conducted as a purely cosmetic procedure. A membrane is constructed, sometimes including a capsule of an artificial blood-like substance.

This operation is intended to be performed within a few days before an intended marriage.

Wow.

The Charter is merely a list of then-current Received Liberal Pieties and should have as much bearing on the average Canadian’s life as a six-year-old Chinese takeout menu. If written today it would include a clause making the separation of paper and glass mandatory for all householders, every other Wednesday. I do my best to ignore the Charter and so should any thoughtful person.
