Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
21 Days until Nov 2: I am the Other Woman
Yesterday Meg Whitman, candidate for Governor of California, received a huge sucker punch from her opponent, Jerry Brown. He called her a dirty name that rhymes with “bore” (like him) and starts with a “w.” You would think the women would rally around Meg but oh how wrong you are.
The National Association for Women (NOW) threw their support to her opponent! Check out more about this story at http://hotair.com/archives/2010/10/09/now-endorses-brown-within-hou...
I grew up in the 60’s and graduated from high school in the early 70’s. NOW was established during my formative teenage years and their influence on my life was big. I loved that they wanted to free women from oppression in business, schools, the military, their conservative families and any other place where women were second class. Growing up without a mother and under the thumb of a strict father, I enjoyed listening to their ideas. I believed I would grow up to be like them and be free from the struggles of a teenage girl under the rule of a horribly conservative father!
That never happened. Instead my father’s roots deep inside of me kept me on a principled path of the Conservative Woman – the other women’s movement in America. The quiet movement – too quiet I might add!
The Other Women in America …
…watched as liberal women burned their bras and posed nude on beaches to express their freedoms
...continued to love their friends as they headed to abortion clinics to get rid of a problem in their life
…married her high school sweetheart while the liberal women experienced the sexual revolution with many partners
…waited to have their children until after marriage
…raised their children to understand rules and consequences
…went back to work and became successful women in the classroom, the office, or the boardroom
…kept quiet while her liberal friends made all the noise and eradicated the moral foundation of our country.
I am ashamed to call myself “the other woman” because I allowed the extreme-mean women to take over my country. Their voices were loud and I was busy and did not have time to respond to their sanctimonious words. I thought they would grow up and get a life but they didn’t. They became mean-spirited lobbyists, corrupt politicians and angry women.
Because I didn’t speak up, the world thought they represented me. They didn’t then, they don’t NOW and I’m sick of letting them have the podium.
Another example of extreme-mean women syndrome happened last Thursday. Emily’s List president, Stephanie Schriock went after House Minority Leader John Boehner in a speech to the Women’s National Democratic Club. She warned that the number of women in Congress might drop in November and “empower a party that believes women belong in the kitchen.”
Kathryn Lopez of National Review Online asked for a comment from us on Ms. Schriock’s claims. Here’s what we gave her:
“It’s not the number of women in Congress Ms. Schriock is really worried about. It’s the number of women with Nancy Pelosi’s behaviors that she wants to keep there. The women like Nancy are behind the liberal policies that have just about ruined this country.
And, contrary to what Ms. Schriock wants you to believe, women have become more involved in politics in the last two years than they ever have. The Tea Party Movement is a great example of this.
Women who were in the kitchen, on the soccer fields and in the boardrooms have stood up and said “Enough.”
These women are now challenging the other women to a different way of running our country. America’s women want a country that is financially sound and is safe from terrorism and attacks on our homeland.
Women want to be led by common sense and we are going to vote for that on Nov 2. And, by the way, a lot of those who will be heading to DC will be new women with those common sense ideas and they will be happy to collaborate with John Boehner on righting the country and securing Liberty for all.”
The Other Women in America are coming into their own. We may be viewed as crazy by the crazies on the left but they’ve had their time and it’s our time now.
Some action items for today:
1. WATCH: This tribute to The Other Women: The Rocking ladies of the Right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36H8_gA_WUs&feature=fvw
2. THANK YOUR CONSERVATIVE FRIEND: Many conservatives have been sounding the alarm for a long time. Many of us ignored them. They deserve a “You Tried to Tell Us” acknowledgement. This will encourage them to continue the work they started.
3. SEND A MESSAGE: Let’s have some fun. Send Jerry Brown a bar of soap and tell him it’s not nice to use bad language. The Other Women raised their children better than that! Let his campaign office have some fun opening up packages of soap thinking they are getting checks for the campaign! Here’s the address: Brown for Governor 2010, 291 3rd St., Oakland, CA 94607

"It is pricipal's office"
LOL!!! So we are down to spelling lessons?
At least if you are going to correct me make sure you have spelled it correctly yourself.

"you are verging on trite and mean spirited"
LOL!!!! Am I to report to the principles office for this offense?
This is almost as good as the tirade you left on the other blog.
My intention is not to ridicule but to inform, unlike yourself who LOVES to ridicule at every chance possible.

Weird, I thought you read all my posts starting from the beginning.At least it seemed that way since you did respond to every single post, although you changed the subject each time.
And good for you for accepting the fact that you are holding completely opposing views at once.Its about time.

Nice deflection John,but I'm not buying your attempt to modify the conversation to your liking.The topic you have brought up has nothing to do with what I originally wrote.Although this sentence does
" the ability to hold completely opposing points of view at the same time"
Give yourself a compliment for that while your at it.
It's good to see you finally "got" what I was talking about this entire time... Except that you convienently accuse someone else instead of yourself.

Bank of America got what they got because of friends in high places - like Alex Sink.

John this isn't about my positions,its about yours. I have already written what I wanted to say on the subject and won't rewrite the same thing over and over,its a waste of time and of space. And I don't have to address issues that have nothing to do with the original post where I cited the inconsistancies. IMO constantly bringing up new issues is a debate tactic that is designed to deflect and divert from the original debate until a weakness can be found and exploited in an effort to defeat your "opponent".
I will not be baited.

YEA, Billie. This gentleman (?) is most annoying. He would not be any loss.

John: You are a bully. You do not have your facts and it is funny that you will believe what you read in the papers IF it is something you can use against someone you dislike. If you like them, then the media is wrong. You need to go away and if this continues - we will ban you from the site. It's getting to be ridiculous.

LOL!! John,I'm not the one trying to defend a position here ,YOU are. Don't get angry because I caught you in your own contradictions using YOUR own words.I'm not the one who came in here with a different position than I had 2 months ago.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
