When I was in grade school, some ..um 40 years ago, we had a sex education conversation. The boys were led to one room, and because there were so many more girls in our class, we got the auditorium. We were told about menstruation and kotex and belts and then the women who was an older woman and about 10 of us were actually listening, told us about how men could come upon us and force us to have sexual intercourse with them. I seriously did not know what she meant, for my Mom, bless her, did not ever give me the talk, I don't know if it was out of embarrassment, but she failed me at that, but back to this woman. She said, if that happens, I want you to CLOSE YOUR EYES and lay back and pretend you are enjoying it. I still remember thinking if a boy did that to me I would fight like a rabid dog, but still didn't understand the whole concept. I obviously do now, and when the moronic, insensitive Governor Tom Corbitt, of a once proud state of Pennsylvania told me to CLOSE MY EYES when I had an invasive procedure that was voted into law only to demean women and make them take one more step before they had an abortion....Sir, seriously, have you no shame? Do you have daughters? I always hope that their daughters have precarious situations that they have to make hard decisions about so they know what life for women is like, but this is beyond the pale.
So, my fellow wonderful women (and enlightened men) of the U.S.A., we need to stand up, shake off our cobwebs and show them who they are dealing with. We have all kinds of things we can do that can make men uncomfortable. We can also vote EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM OUT OF OFFICE. These people below are the architects of the War on Women. Look what happened when we went after Rush's advertisers. I hope NONE of you are buying anything he is selling, and if it is insurance, change companies. Banks, move your account. Every little bit hurts.
I have always had reproductive choice as one of my hot button issues, and so far, Mitt "I love dogs" Romney has said that his first decision will be to ABOLISH Planned Parenthood. Just you try, you buffoon. We will be marching in the streets, and if you think you can get away with that, just imagine that there about 10 MILLION more women than men in this country, and at least half believe that you have overstepped your bounds by miles, and gotten caught up in your lies so many times, I have no more room to write about your antics. He spent time as governor of Massachusettes, enacting one of the broadest health care programs in the nation. The Obamacare is based on it's premise. But, now, he is against it, liked gays, hates them, and I guess hates women. He likes to fire people, he doesn't care about the poor. These are his quotes. He is a man who will change an opinion with a whisper in his ear. God, he wants this bad, because his cult desperately wants to take over this country and have us all be Mormons. It is still legal in his religion to have as many wives as possible and as many children as possible. Who knows what we don't know about him and his scary religion. I always find that when a religion will not show you their holy books or shrines, they have something to hide.
I admit not to being a religious person, but was raised Unitarian, and you could come in and go through the minister's desk. There were no secrets, no covenants forbidding any man or woman from entrance.
Go to any Christian church, and you will be gladly shown their most beautiful bible, and can probably be shown their really beautiful baptismal fonts and other goodies of their religion. Catholics will probably do it too, but they are trying desperately to get over their horrid rape scandal and the U.S. Catholic religion is being left in droves. As long as a religion keeps to themselves and does not try to make me a part of their show, I am fine with them. Do not try and convert me. I'll show up if I feel like it. This is AMERICA. We started this country JUST so we could have a separation of church and state, so Santorum, you have NO business saying that you will abolish that. You cannot without a vote of a majority of the states, and we are too busy working on the gay marriage issue to be appalled by some idiotic idea of yours. You may pray at home all dang day. Just leave me alone.
The Jews have Torahs that are things of beauty. Scrolls, hand calligraphy and drawn with beautiful pictures. If you get a really wonderful Rabbi, they sing in their synagogues with the most beautiful voices. I just went to a service because a friend of mine told me her Rabbi had the most beautiful services, and it is true, he did. I didn't know half of what he was singing or saying, but it was like opera.
But, you cannot even enter the front door of a Mormon church, unless you have converted to Mormon. Just like Scientology, if you were in the church and decide to leave, you are ostracized and your family is supposed to cut off all contact with you FOREVER. Is this the man you want in the White House?
Then we have the House run by two of the biggest buffoons in the country. They could be a comedy act,but they don't smile. Bohner just cries, and I think it is because he has withheld any and all things that were good for the middle class of the country and he is ashamed, or maybe it is because he has been using that tanning stuff for so long that he wants to look normal again. Bohner and Mitch McConnell, do you think they have women's best interests in mind? Are you kidding me? They are using everything they have to block every single bill except bills that make sure women cannot get birth control. That is the most important thing going on in this country right now to you two clowns? It isn't even in my top million. It should be NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I always thought that the Republican party was for small government and the government staying out of your business. Yet they loved that homeland security where it infringed on all our personal rights, and now they think the only thing left they NEED to do is keep women from having personal and rightfully so, conversations with their doctors.
Let's talk about Rick Santorum for a moment. He thinks nobody, ANYBODY has any right to have sex at any time except for procreation. Ricky, if that is the case, and yours is a wonderful god that we all should be following, WHY did he give us orgasms? So we can procreate once a year? I think you should stop. You have WAY too many children to never be home, and make your poor wife home school them all. You are so out of control that I am worried about your kids. I'm really more worried about your wife. I can only imagine what a good life and good sex she has. Here's my favorite part about this clown. He was FOR all this stuff twenty years ago.
Newt...he gets a few lines. One, he was kicked out of congress with an 85 page document detailing all his wrongdoing. He keeps forgetting to talk about that. Then he leaves two wives both ill, to start up with the next one. Calista? She is Morticia Adams with stiff blonde hair, but if I had to touch Newt, my hair would stand on end too.
Then we have the Arizona law, enacted by a basically all white man congress and signed by a woman that is completely and utterly out of control. She was screaming at the president when he stopped by her state. She is a nutcase. She said GOOD when she heard that Gabrielle Giffords was shot. The bill says if you want birth control, you will bring your medical records to your employer and THEY will decide if your birth control is NECESSARY or just for preventing children from being born. If it is for wanton sex, you HUSSY, you don't get any. Move. Seriously, move out of Arizona today. If your kids are at Arizona State or the University of Arizona, have them transfer.
This is a war on women, and our personal issues that have no business in the government sphere, let alone in your bosses drawer are being brought to the forefront because the Republicans have NOTHING to run on and no good candidate. If they have a right to do that, we must have a right to know why they need viagra. Is it because you are impotent, sir, or because you just wanted to see if you could get a heightened sexual experience? I think if you have to know what we are doing, fair is fair. We want to see your records as well, and if we find out you are using taxpayer money to get viagra to have a heightened sexual experience, you do not get any. This includes any men who are over the childbearing age of let's say 50. I think it is time you stop divorcing the wives that raised your children so you can look like an ass and go after some bimbo who will give you two months of sex, and take you for everything she can, or at least I hope so.
Remember this "CLOSE YOUR EYES" when you vote this fall, and remember who said it and the Republicans who are backing it with everything they have. Let's knock one out of the park and kick the whole bunch of them to the curb. THAT is what we women can do. I guess they forgot about WWII and Rosie the Riveter.
Sat Mar 17, 2012 at 8:30 AM PT: Ricky Santorum wants us to not only keep the child of rape, but "enjoy" it. Sounding suspiciously like close your eyes and enjoy it, doesn't it? I want him to have something similar done to him and have him close his eyes and enjoy it. He would squeal like a stuck pig. Probably because sexual procreation is for child producing reasons only. What's the matter, have you not read that portion of the bible? I love the way these dogs make everything fit their story.
