Sarah Palin: Don’t Shackle Us With Your Snobbish Shunning, Obama Needs to Be Spanked

“You ain’t too smart”
Wingnuts • Views: 39,353

Sarah Palin’s latest word salad is even more incoherent and ranty than usual — a monumental wall of authentic wingnut gibberish. That nasty Obama guy is oppressing her again by suggesting women should have access to cheaper, better day care.

(Do I even have to tell you that the Obama quote that launched her into this confused tirade is completely out of context and deceptive?)

Obama Declares Stay-at-Home Moms Aren’t Worth a Hill of Beans; Says It’s a Choice ‘We Don’t Want Americans to Make’

Well that just takes the cake. Sure, Obama’s latest shot across the bow in his own “War on Women” is easily deflected by women like my friends and me testifying to the most precious, irreplaceable seasons of our lives when we were BLESSED to be “stay-at-home moms” (though I don’t remember any of us actually “staying home” in those busiest times of our children’s lives), but Friday’s jab deserves something right back nonetheless. On behalf of former and current stay-at-homers, including my girlfriends who still get together to bake cookies for the bake sale (see photos in my kitchen above), and volunteer to coach kids ball teams, and man the church’s food bank, and entertain latchkey kids, and all that other obnoxiously “housewifey” stuff, the President needs to be spanked.

Barack, do you not know any stay-at-home moms? Are you and Michelle so disconnected from the real world that you think women will accept your intolerant view that we should not have a choice in how we wish to live our lives? You have a way of arrogantly demanding that we fall in line with your sad opinion of today’s American woman. It seems you’d shackle us by your snobbish shunning of one traditional lifestyle choice while taking advantage of power to manifest your liberal view by manipulating public opinion and resources to diminish moms who put career on hold to raise a family. You are really messed up. And you’re so 1960’s.

Yes, the 60’s are calling and they want their ardent yet narrow sexist confines back. See, you just set the women’s movement back a few decades, and I think it’s hilarious because for being the smartest man in the room, you ain’t too smart.

Whoa, Nellie! Caribou Barbie’s on a tear! And it continues in this vein of rich idiocy for five more interminable paragraphs.

Thanks, John McCain.

The thing is, and this should trouble us, is that there are plenty of Americans out there who will nod along with Sarah the Beauty Queen as if what she has said has some real value.

Part of this, and I think I might be showing my aging curmudgeon side here, is that we live in a society where the crafting of narratives is now a principal occupation of so many in our society, who see their own vested interests in creating controversy.

Consider this major Reuters news wire from this morning:

To salvage his presidency, Obama faces pressure to reboot - but will he?

Consider that headline. This article is not obviously marked as an “opinion”. Yet the writers makes it sound as if Obama was on a Nixon-esque verge of being ousted from the White House.

The Reuters writers are playing off of the wingnut lines, no doubt to get eyes on product, the great tool of click-baiting. The writers themselves are just Reuters correspondents, not obvious plants by Republican organizations.

Somehow, and The Beauty Queen is an extreme example of this, it is now de rigueur in our society to foist some fantasy as fact and call it “news”, add some flashing lights, and then wait till tomorrow to create a new headline that might be totally discontinuous with all the yesterdays and with their own headlines.

Others have remarked on this irony of our age - where information has never been easier to access but truth is now overwhelmed by the easier-to-digest made-up stories sold by hawkers.

Not to mention as a now, umm retired, stay-at-home mom (kids are grown) and still active housewife, I’ve never met an actual feminist who made me feel bad about my choice. I don’t wake up in the morning and feel the Democrats are oppressing me. The Republicans would like to, but I’m in the fortunate position of not having to care about them.

I made a choice in conjunction with my husband. We were fortunate to have that choice. I have made valuable contributions to our household, but I have never dumped on women who made other choices. This whole stay-at-home vs. working moms thing is stupid and more honored in the media than real life.

Sarah is really late to this particular party.

However, while constantly vilifying and trying to discredit the OSCE’s observation missions, Russian state-controlled media intentionally present fake “election monitors” as members of the OSCE. For example, in March 2014, the Russian TV channel Rossiya 24 claimed that notorious fascist Michel was “the organiser of the OSCE observation mission” at the illegal “referendum in Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea that Russia annexed afterwards.

The new women’s issues

“…Informed by extensive research, Democratic women’s groups have encouraged the move to pocketbook issues. After all, they say, a woman can’t finish school or compete in the workplace if she can’t control when she’s going to become a mother.

“Birth control is only a social issue if you haven’t had to pay for it. It’s all economic issues,” said Stephanie Schriock, the president of the Democratic women’s group Emily’s List at a forum this week in Washington hosted Sirius/XM radio. “What’s driving this election and what’s motivating our women voters in particular are equal pay for women, minimum wage increases, access to full health care, paid sick leave. These are the driving issues.”

If you’ve ever wanted to gaze directly into the maw of madness and despair, well then! LaPierre’s article will be a treat for you. It breathlessly begins “Brace yourself. You won’t hear about this from the mainstream media” and goes rapidly downhill from there. It’s all about the imminent chaos brewing across our country that the AK-toting forces of order need to prepare themselves for - sort of like a zombie apocalypse, except instead of zombies it’s terrorists, illegals, commies and any other number of code words for people of a certain complexion.

Saying that chaos is “at our door,” it’s accompanied by ads urging NRA members to “Vote your guns in November.” If you support gun rights, you have to “Vote to save us all” from “Obama’s last two years.”

Christopher Perkins O’Brien, of Annapolis, was arrested on Thursday and charged with making a violent threat against the president and threatening bodily harm against the presidential family in an email sent to the White House website on Oct. 16, according to court documents.

O’Brien was also charged with using interstate communications to make the threats, the documents said.

In the email, Obama is called “stupid” and a racial slur for his handling of ISIS, beheadings in the United States and of the Ebola outbreak before he is threatened with physical violence.

re: #70 De Kolta Chair

Or how about VALUING being a full time mom so it’s not so god damned hard to re-enter the workforce? Some of us had to raise special needs kids, had no back up, had no family to help so we could go back to school and keep our skills honed. We’d like to work, but no one values what we have done and sacrificed enough to hire us for just the most entry level job in retail or service of some kind. If Sarah Palin actually gave a flying fuck about stay home moms this would be something she could pick a fight over. But it’s Sarah Palin, what the fuck was I thinking?

Sorry, I just put in my ONE HUNDREDTH job application Friday. I haven’t received so much as a phone call or a rejection letter. Nothing, Nada, Bupkiss. I have a friend who is in a similar position, just not out of the work force as long (me- 20 yrs, her-6), she at least has a nice little file of rejection emails. We both have over a decade of retail experience, including dept management, are the same age and stopped working at a paid job to care for special needs kids who are adults now. We’re not asking for the best job with the best pay. No one will talk to either of us, in person, on the phone, nothing. I’m beginning to suspect it’s not just the gap in our employment histories, but also our age (mid 50s). So Palin can stuff it until she decides to actually give a shit about every stay home mom, not just her cookie baking clique.

I agree with the spirit of the statement, but I think some of the prominent Dixiecrats stayed and more or less cleaned up their act (Byrd, etc.).

I wouldn’t say Bryd was exactly prominent in 1964. He was a Junior Senator serving in his first term. But I get your point, and yes he did take part in the filibuster, talking shit for 14 hours straight. By 1968 however he’d reformed at least enough to vote in favor of the Fair Housing Act.

“…American workers do work longer hours than we did a generation ago, according to some analyses, and hundreds more per year than our counterparts in France or Germany—the equivalent of six to eight extra weeks a year. We top the Eurozone nations in productivity by 18 percentage points. “Every month the BLS [Bureau of Labor Statistics] releases its worker-productivity numbers, which measure output per labor hour worked,” says Celeste Monforton, a former Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) staffer. Montforton, now at the George Washington University School of Public Health, points out that the numbers “go up every month. And that’s because businesses are not hiring new workers; they’re just expecting the old workers to work more, and spitting them out after they get injured.” Some of these gains come from the adoption of new technologies, but others just come from pushing workers harder.”

Derp is flowing like a river this weekend, before election day, I gather by looking at the various local media outlets and their stories/comments.

Consider this:

By eliminating the unnecessary parts of the federal government, like the Department of Education, the EPA, NPR, PBS, Planned Parenthood, welfare, unemployment and ACORN, the budget could be cut almost in half. Republicans are willing to make these cuts while Democrats use these agencies to get votes from the 47 percent who pay no taxes.

— Republican voter in 50501

or this:

deerdale Rank 41
It is good for our republic to have quirky but honest men in government, men who believe what the founding fathers believe and not what the “end justifies the means” lefties who now unfortunately proliferate.

… which might seem harmless, till you realize the person he is lauding as simply being “quirky” and better than the “lefties” is none other than Michael Peroutka.

Anyhow, here in VA-10, we have a Democrat man running and a Republican woman running.

They’re saying Foust was attacking working mothers but when in actuality he was pointing out that much of Comstock’s professional career has been as a hatchet woman for the right wing agenda. So Comstock like Sarah is yet another wingnut that specializes in playing the victim. It really is the oldest wingnut trick in the book. It’s one that Nixon popularized in the Checkers speech.

I once upon a time respected McCain. Hell I even cited an op-ed by him in an anti-torture essay I wrote in Community College. I was proud that a Republican senator during a Republican administration that condoned torture had the balls to call it out for what it was but then McCain decided he wanted to be president and he sold out what principles he had out the window. Now, I realize in hindsight that McCain’s always been a grandstanding opportunistic but his actions with Palin and how he continues to defend that bigoted lunatic show him for the hypocritical hack he really is.

I never thought much of McCain—always thought he was a nasty opportunist. I didn’t see 2000 or 2008 as any big shift in his personality or his principles. I just think he conned the media with his “straight talk” bullshit and nobody ever challenged that his words did not match his deeds.

McCain’s nomination of Sarah Palin made it perfectly clear that McCain cares about nothing other than his personal ambition.

Prior to that, he was just another GOP politician, better at handling the media than most.

Just to remind everyone that the synthesis report has been published by IPCC today.

It was colder in NC than it was in most mid-west sections this weekend from what I’ve read. Below freezing here last night and will be tonight. Definitely something I don’t ever remember seeing, since I usually don’t need heat until sometime in Nov. Turned it on last night, though. Climate change is bringing pretty unusual weather to the south.

I remember watching him on Sullivan and the Andy Williams Show and thinking, this kid has a lot of talent but it’s a phony schticky plastic talent. I also felt somewhat the same way at the time about Bobby Darin, until I delved into his oeuvre and discovered he was actually highly underrated, at least by me. In fact, I’m listening to his 1961 album with Johnny Mercer right now. Killer stuff.

Had Bobby Darin lived, he would have been the heir apparent to Sinatra.

He was that good.

I like Darin also but perhaps he was born out of time?

If he had been from an earlier decade he would have had to compete with Sinatra and Crosby and Cole et. al.

But Darrin was singing in a time when American pop music was in serious transition and crooners were not hip. The 1960’s buyers of crooners were reliving their childhoods of the 1940’s and such (sort of analogous to contemporary playing of mid-20th century Christmas music.)

Speaking of Vegas, Billboard reports that a source has confirmed the rumors that Bob Dylan’s next album, to be released early next year, will consist entirely of Frank Sinatra covers. 2015 will be the 100th anniversary of Sinatra’s birth.

Here’s The Hibbing Kid himself, 73 years young, performing “Stay With Me” (which Frankie sang over the credits of the 1963 Otto Preminger flick The Cardinal) last week in Hollywood. I downloaded the show from Guitars101 the other night and Zimmy was at the top of his form in this show.

Yeah, but usually it’s been late in Nov. : ) It has to be close to freezing for me to put the heat on, esp since this is a basement apt and stays pretty warm (ground insulation in the back). Last month, for instance, the elec bill was $67 and the thermostat was still on A/C (which only came on late in the day for the last couple of weeks). This place is a real utility saver. : )

We had snow here in eastern KY yesterday morning and hard frost (27F) this morning.
Tomorrow, we’re back to 60+F highs and thunderstorms Tuesday night through Thursday.

We cleaned out the woodstove and found a half dozen mummified bat carcasses in the old ashes.

I see your point, but I still think he would have been capable of making that transition. He wrote ‘If I Were A Carpenter.’ Good song, and plenty contemporary for the time.

re: #165 makeitstop

Agreed. Another artist I stupidly underrated for years was Dion Dimucci, of Dion and the Belmonts fame, who’s released several killer bluesy albums over the past ten or so years. And of course he wrote the classic heartbreaking song “Abraham, Martin and John,” which I would link to, but I prefer Jackie “Moms” Mabley’s version, which gets me every time.
