State rep thankfully stands alone in misguided criticism

The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — If you are as flabbergasted as we are, you hardly know where to begin to rebut, refute, reject and repudiate Indiana state Rep. Bob Morris’ contention that the Girl Scouts of America has become a “radicalized organization” — an organization that, in his view, marches blissfully, liberal hand in hand, with Planned Parenthood while encouraging abortion, promoting youthful sex and championing homosexual and transgender lifestyles.

Perhaps at some point you should ask women what they think is important to women and stop assuming that you know better than they do what is important to them.
Conservative women don't hold the same views as conservative men? Uh, I beg to differ.

Protecting their allies is more important that helping women.

If Texas wants federal funding, they get to follow federal rules. It has always worked like that, and Texas' legislators full well know that. (Weren't they all agog about seceding a few years back, anyway? What happened to that?)

Ah, fair enough. He seems to have increasingly seceded from reality as well, lately...

Absolutely! If Freud hadn't been so coked-up, he might have taken his theory of "penis envy" to the next logical step: Equality envy. Now every girl can fulfill her dream of being a doctor, lawyer, scientist, and so much more. Getting the right to vote was huge, but IMHO the roots of modern feminism began after WW II, when all of those "Rosie the Riveters" were
miserable at being stuck back in the hausfrau role. There were many widows with children who needed the jobs being given to returning servicemen. How stunning that it took the election of President Obama to
enact the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, guaranteeing women equal pay for doing the same job as their male co-workers. Judging by the vote, it isn't Liberals who'd deny a working woman that right:

There is to insecure men who listen to Oxycontin Rush religiously, and greatly fear their women having a real job.

thank you sir. Nice to see a decent man with manners and breeding here.

I do know Roy works as as a janitor, so I try to have sympathy.

Like at the supermarket, I didnt critique the disabled boy, yesterday packing my groceries and almost tripping the elderly woman blocking the check-out aisle.

Default Democrats declare war on women

Good grief! Now the 'progressive' Lefties and Democrats have declared war on those nasty, bad, terrible, no good Stay-At-Home Moms

Democrats Declare War on Women

The intolerance of the Left is shockingly sad.
