Text of the page (random words):
than their country sadly the people of this country chose to worry only about themselves and not about the country as a whole and as i thought about it more and more i realized our country was no longer the country i thought i knew but instead it was more like europe we are making many of the same choices now that many of the people in europe did generations ago that s not being a sore looser that s just looking at facts our country now mirrors european history much more than it does us history then i realized something else i need to learn more about european history posted in politics tagged 2012 election europe european history history us history 1 comment the war on women 4 october 2012 by denisethinks politics it s all about politics this ill conceived war on women the left says is taking place it s all about politics nothing more as a woman i feel qualified to speak on this issue first of all let me state this there is a war on women going on in this country right now but it s not coming from the right and it s not manifesting itself the way the left portrays it i m going to be very bold here and i make no apologies for it some will not like what i have to say but that s ok the war on women is being waged by the progressives in this country it all started back at the beginning of the twentieth century and was done in a stealthy way getting women to participate and be the champions of the cause pretty brilliant i don t think any of those early activists realized they were being used pawns in a much more elaborate plan tear down the family and you will tear down society tear down the family and society and you create a people dependent on the government for providing for them create a people dependent on the government and get all the power it started off sounding great give women the vote i fully believe women should have the ability to vote everyone who can should vote women fought long and hard for that and they should have it s after getting the nineteenth amendment passed that things took a turn for the worse and namely after wwii but getting the vote women s suffrage that s what planted the seeds for women s liberation and my question is this what did we need to be liberated from we ll get back to that during wwii women had to go to work as so many men were fighting for our freedom it was a noble cause and those women should be applauded for stepping up to the jobs that needed to be done but then the war ended and those men came back to their jobs many of the women went back to being homemakers but some did not enter the 1950 s when i think of the 1950 s i get an instant image of june cleaver in her heals and pearls and apron i mean really doesn t everyone and that s where things fall apart suddenly being mrs cleaver wasn t enough i mean really it was ward who ran things in that family right and that s no good right i mean we can t have women being treated like second class citizens right wasn t it better when the women were a large part of the workforce during the war why just be a wife or mom there is so much more to life than that right during the 1960 s the country was turned on it s head and shaken up a bit the radical leftest movements of the 60 s forever changed our country and our mentality women took their fight to a whole new level burning bras and free love no more being oppressed right women were showing they were a force to be reckoned with and no one was going to keep them down any more right because nothing says take me seriously like sleeping around and burning your underwear in the streets and as time went on more and more women left the home and went to work and had someone else take care of their children but they were empowered right i mean they missed their children s first steps and first words but they had everything right a career a family what more could a woman want right as all of this was happening something else happened too more and more women had many sexual partners because that was liberation right that s what the left taught us free love don t be tied down and as more and more women became more and more casual with sex more and more men became more casual with love and by love i mean actually loving a woman and valuing her and cherishing her and as the love between the sexes became more casual more and more men stopped acting like gentlemen and became focused on their next sexual conquest sex became less and less about making love and more about making jolly but that s liberation right and as sex became nothing but part of a date pregnancies increased tends to happen that way and because women were so liberated they didn t need children right wouldn t kids just get in the way of their careers and their travels and such so women had abortions because it became easier to kill the babies instead of loving them but that s liberation right so let me get this straight according to the left in this country who have over the course of the last hundred years drastically changed the way we as a society view women we are liberated because giving your body away killing your babies making your career more important than your family having someone else raise the children you do decided to have not being valued by your husband boyfriend one night stand somehow those things make you important and liberated yeah i just don t get that not at all let me tell you something having sex with a man just because doesn t make you free in fact it makes you a piece of meat you really think that all those men you sleep with really value you and think you are important i think not when you give yourself away like that you are saying that you don t value yourself enough to be with someone that loves you and deeply cares for you that doesn t sound like any kind of liberation i want when you are pregnant and decided to kill that child because you just don t want a child that doesn t make you free or liberated or anything else it makes you at best exceptionally selfish you are willing to kill a human being because you ve been told all this time that it was your right what a barbaric society we ve become when we kill our own children that does not make you of great worth or liberated from oppression or any other thing that s good when you choose to leave your children in the care of someone else so you can build up some great career that doesn t make you free i know several women who have to work they don t have a choice they hate leaving their children every day they hate missing milestones and important moments in their children s lives they hate feeling like they don t have as strong of a bond with their children as they would like and you know what else society has suffered greatly from so many children being raised by daycares and such so many children would be in less trouble and have less problems if their moms were just there for them when they need them despite being told contrary from the left men and women are different we were created to be different we have different roles we are supposed to fill men were designed to be the hunters and providers women were designed to be the nurturers and caregivers that is our natural role so why does the left constantly fight for us to go against what we were designed to do why do they fight so hard for us to go against our natural instincts that doesn t sound like liberation to me in the twisted process of women s liberation we have devalued women and their natural role we ve devalued motherhood and made it seem like it s nothing we ve also devalued men and made them much less masculine with the mentality of we don t need men we ve devalued fatherhood and stripped men of their natural role too but guess what our children are suffering because they have absentee fathers and mothers too wrapped up with themselves our society is suffering because we have so many problems from the fallout of these ideals how is any of this good for women i may laugh at the image of june cleaver in my mind in her heals and apron but i wish women today would be more like her she embraced her natural god given role in life she nurtured her husband and children she enjoyed her time with friends she loved her children and they never doubted that she was their for her children whenever they needed and they knew it and she had a husband that loved her really really loved her a husband that would do anything for her a husband that recognized her value as a mother and wife and praised her for it that is what this society needs now the war on women hasn t been waged from the right and the republicans in this country but from the left slowly over several decades the war on women isn t about being able to have an abortion or get free birth control it s about a woman s identity and role being trashed and smashed over time it s about motherhood being attacked as something not worthwhile it s about women being degraded and demeaned and feeling like they aren t of any worth as little girls most of us dream of being queens and princesses but those ideals are lost as we mature in this world of women s liberation what a sad sad thing i really hope women in this country wake up and embrace what they were born to be a beloved daughter of heavenly father prepared to come to the earth at this particular time for a sacred and glorious purpose i want to leave you women with this thought from dieter f uchtdorf you are truly royal spirit daughters of almighty god you are princesses destined to become queens your own wondrous story has already begun your once upon a time is now posted in politics tagged democrats liberals progressives republicans war on women women 3 comments one small step for man 25 july 2012 by denisethinks last week we celebrated the 43rd anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing being a person that loves history and space i ve always felt drawn to this particular era in space exploration there is something about it that is majestic and noble i m not quite sure what it is but i do know this i love how we were never deterred even when things were beyond difficult i love how we weren t afraid to reach for really big things i love how we turned grandiose ideas into actual realities i love that we weren t just impartial observers of the heavens from the ground but that we actually became part of this new frontier i wanted to share with you especially in light of recent comments by political leaders my thoughts on the first moon landing and what it means to me in may of 1961 president john f kennedy delivered an address to congress that forever changed the nation and the world smack in the middle of the cold war president kennedy challenged america and america answered the call first i believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth no single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important for the long range exploration of space and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish what a challenge some thought he was crazy developing a manned space program to travel to and return from the moon in less than 9 years this wasn t a science fiction movie how could that even be accomplished 9 years he knew it would be difficult but he wanted this done in 9 years nasa easily could have backed out and said that it just wasn t enough time the public would understand that but they didn t and the american public proudly stood behind nasa and the space program the astronauts were heroes idolized by the public people looked at president kennedy and nasa as great patriots everyone was excited by the possibility of actually landing a man on the moon and not just any man but an american it obviously wouldn t be easy 9 years is not much time when you are talking about traveling almost 239 000 miles away and coming back home 9 years it would require tremendous effort but we weren t afraid of the challenge in fact we welcomed it 19 months after his address to congress president kennedy again addressed the nation this time from rice university the whole speech is really amazing but one part in particular stood out to me we choose to go to the moon we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept one we are unwilling to postpone and one which we intend to win and the others too we do it because it is hard did you catch that because it is hard wow this is profound to me we aren t taking the easy road here we want to be the leader in space exploration we want the american flag to wave on the moon of course this won t be easy but we are americans and we do things because they are hard and challenging we are up to the challenge and we will lead the entire free world in our quest for knowledge of the worlds beyond our own we are america talk about american exceptionalism holy cow sadly president
