I'm on an extended holiday vacation here...as I'm in Las Vegas for my first ever, live UFC event, UFC 79: Nemesis. I'm a long time martial artist, and a huge fan of Mixed Martial Arts, and I've waited a LOOONG time to see these two fellas get into the ring and settle it once and for all.
Both of these men, Wanderlei Silva and Chuck Lidell are knockout artists, and I expect this one to be a real slugfest!
As Chuck is a Hawaiian Kenpo practitioner, and so am I (though I train a differnt style than he does, our schools come from the same roots), I'll be rooting for Chuck to win...however, I still admire the sheer brutality of Wanderlei's Muay Thai style!
I can't wait til this Saturday!
(MRA blogging will resume once I get back to Hawaii for the New Year!)
Rodriguez said her son's life had been a challenge from the start. She divorced Hawkins' father when the boy was 3-years-old, she said, and by 5 he was taking prescription Ritalin and Zoloft. She said she watched, feeling helpless the way a parent can, as raw anger took root inside her son.
Wow...no kidding. "Raw anger." Wonder if that had anything to do with a young boy's family being torn apart when he was only a toddler, than pumped him full of psychotropic meds by the time he was in kindergarten to put him in a chemical straight jacket for having fits because his father was ripped out of his life through no fault of his own?!
Isn't it just wonderful that we have a system that encourages no-fault divorce...preaches that father's are not necessary...that single mothers are more than capable...that young FIVE YEAR OLD BOYS NEED TO BE MEDICATED FOR BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS!!!
What the hell happened to common sense? What kind of "Doctor" looked at a young, hurting five year old boy, miserable because his family was torn apart by divorce...and conclude that he needs drugs to alter his body chemistry? Given the circumstances, it's COMPLETELY NATURAL for a young boy to be angry and hurt!!
The feminists who have declared war on masculinity and males...the feminists who have pushed for divorce as the solution to "free women," these are the folks that are indirectly responsible in creating the "monsters" who grow up without the structure and discipline of a two parent family; of a father to control, discipline and define adolescent male aggression. This is how we get these sociopaths that think nothing of killing innocent bystanders in our malls, churches and schools.
Think I'm taking one case and using it to indict feminism based on a lone freak incident? Think again:
2. Richard Lawrence, attempted assassin of Andrew Jackson
3. Charles Guiteau, assassin of James Garfield
4. Leon Czolgosz, assassin of William McKinley
5. John Schrank, attempted assassin of Theodore Roosevelt
6. Giuseppe Zangara, attempted assassin of Franklin Roosevelt
7. Dean Corll, the Houston mass-murderer
8. John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln
9. Lee Harvey Oswald, assassin of John Kennedy
10. James Earl Ray, assassin of Martin Luther King
11. Charles Manson, triple murderer of Sharon Tate, et al
12. Andreas Baader, mass murderer
13. Lynette Fromme, attempted assassin of Gerald Ford
14. Marc Lepine, mass murderer
15. Mitchell Johnson, 13 year old youth, shot 4 students and a teacher.
16. Aileen Wuornos, serial killer
17. Dorothea Puente, serial killer.
18. Marybeth Tinning, serial killer.
19. fourteen female serial murderesses in Heide and Keeney's study.
20. Jane Toppan, nurse who killed up to 100 patients.
21. Orenthal James Simpson, fatherless, "Fatherless America", pg. 38.
22. William Jefferson Clinton [list too long to post here].
23. Jesse James, bank robbery, train robbery, and murder.
24. Frank James, bank robbery, train robbery, and murder.
25. Henry McCarty, aka Billy the Kid, 20 murders.
26. Ted Bundy, murdered, mutilated 30-40 young women.
27. Mary Flora Bell, at age ten, strangled two boys 4 & 8 years old in Britain
28. Dennis Nilsen, "Britain's Jeffrey Dahmer"
29. Luke Woodham, Pearl, Mississippi, killed 3 in school shooting
30. Jeremy Delle, Richardson, Texas, blew his brains out in front of teacher
31. Dylan Klebold, with Eric Harris, shot 26 fellow students in Littleton, Colorado high school
32. Robert Thompson (then aged 11) in 1993 abducted a 2 year old boy, killed him by bashing his head in
33. 13-year old Nathaniel Brazill, living in an SMH, shoots biology teacher in the head and kills him
We can now add to this terrible list the following entry:
34. Robert Hawkins (aged 19), Murdered 8 people and committed suicide in the deadliest Mall Shooting in American History
UPDATE - After reading the list over again, I just noticed Number 22, Bill Clinton.
Yes, the guy was from a Single Mother Household...but no matter what your politics (and I'm as anti-Democrat as you can get), I don't think the guy should be on the same list as mass murderers like Charles Manson. But that's just my opinion...I'm sure there are those that would disagree and point out that he does deserve such a distinction. Afterall...god forbid should Hillary win the next election, we may end up looking back at the first Clinton years with nostalgia of better days gone by.
Is it any wonder the axis of evil in American politics - feminism, socialism and the Democrat Party - have been promoting family destroying, pro-divorce policies and welfare subsidies for single mothers for so long? They know that for every single mother without a husband and provider for her children, she will view the government as the surrogate solution. Taking a step back and looking objectively at the big picture, can one really find it impossible to consider that the socialist-promoting Democrats have purposely promoted the agenda that either destroys current, two-parent families or prevents the two parent family from forming in the first place? The more single mothers, the more Democrat, socialist policy voters!
Two trends bedevil America. One is taxes. The second, more important, is marriage.
Those who pay no taxes have no check on their appetite for services. If somebody else is paying, nothing’s unaffordable.
Is this not EXACTLY what we see with the rise of single mother headed households? Even the pro-Democrat, liberal research and think tank groups basically savor at the chance for electoral victory by getting the "gold mine" of the single mom vote!
The liberal polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research singled out unmarried women and their potential impact on future elections. What it found should chill the spines of those who wish to reverse, or even slow, the growth of government — not so much because of its cost, but because Big Government steals the initiative and enterprise and independence of its wards.
“Because of the often stark economic reality of a single-income family, they [unmarried women] support an active government that will give all Americans a chance to get ahead, not just the affluent,” the organization reported.
As the nation discovered decades ago with welfare policies that pushed men out of the lives of poor women, except for procreation, women who previously found security in marriage turned instead to government. As Greenberg Quinlan Rosner find, unmarried women are a rich vein to be mined by Democrats.
A "rich vein" is an inaccurate metaphor as far as I'm concerned. A gold miner searches for "rich veins" and happens to stumble on it after much work.
I would say a better metaphor would be the liberal Democrat Socialists are farmers, rather than miners. They created the ever-increasing crops of single mothers and the growing population of unmarried females, full-well knowing that unmarried women and single mothers by-and-large support big government, socialist policies and politicians!
In truth, the liberal Democrats are counting on reaping the very harvest they themselves have sown.
As the liberal polling firm notes:
“Marital status is playing an increasingly defining role in elections. For the 2006 congressional elections, the ‘marriage gap’ was 32 points, far bigger than the gender gap, which was just 9 points. Among women, the marriage gap was an even bigger 36 points … unmarried women tend to vote like other unmarried women, regardless of other powerful demographic variables such as age, income and education.”
“Unmarried women are easily the largest segment of the Democratic base — bigger than Hispanics and African Americans combined.” And the second most loyal, second only to blacks. They favor Democrats over Republicans by a 70-24 margin, and Hillary Clinton over Rudy Giuliani by 66-30.
“From 1960 to 2006, the percentage of the voting age population that was unmarried grew from 27 to 45 percent … If this trend continues, the unmarried will be a majority of the population within 15 years.”
"Their top economic concern is health care. “This group strongly supports fundamental reform to provide universal coverage that can never be taken away.”
“In total, there are over 53 million unmarried women of voting age, a number that dwarfs the percentage of seniors, people of color and even union members.” Of those who voted in 2006, two-thirds chose Democrats. Some 20 million, however, did not vote. That’s 41 percent of the unmarrieds. Among the married, it was 29 percent. But “2008 could be very different if progressives see the opportunity before them.” Unmarried women “emerge as the largest contributor to the Democratic vote in 2008.”
The liberal socialists that have the nerve to call themselves "progressive" have carefully cultivated a crop of single mother households for their own harvest of electoral votes, to the detriment of society.
As my favorite Metallica song goes...
I never really thought about it before (I've been a die-hard Metallica fan since 1986...my first album I ever bought was Master of Puppets), but the lyrics to Harvester of Sorrow are quite fitting in describing the socialist-feminist-liberal triumvirate and the damage they have done to families and society...
My life suffocates Planting seeds of hate I've loved, turned to hate Trapped far beyond my fate
I give You take This life that I forsake Been cheated of my youth You turned this lie to truth
Anger Misery You'll suffer unto me
Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow
Pure black looking clear My work is done soon here Try getting back to me Get back which used to be
Drink up Shoot in Let the beatings begin Distributor of pain Your loss becomes my gain
Anger Misery Youll suffer unto me
Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow
All have said their prayers Invade their nightmares See into my eyes Youll find where murder lies
Infanticide
Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow
The Feminist, Socialist Democrats...they all speak the language of the mad while they prepare to reap the harvest of sorrow they have sown.
Congratulations to Janelle Schlossberger and Amanda Harinoff, seniors at John F. Kennedy High School in Plainview, N.Y., who won the team grand prize in the Seimens Math and Science Competition.
There personal effort to excel should be recognized and lauded.
But the socialist engineering and spin behind this particular story is a bit nauseating.
Yay! It's another celebration for the feminists! Girls DOMINATE!
Than we read the actual comments of the winners themselves:
"Women lag far behind men in professional math, science, and computer fields, an issue that became the subject of renewed debate in 2005 when then Harvard President Lawrence Summers suggested the lack of top female scientists may stem in part from biological differences between men and women. Jain vehemently disagrees, but acknowledges with some annoyance that "the guy-to-girl ratio in math and science competitions is absolutely ridiculous. It's usually seven or eight guys to one girl." The results of this year's Siemens Competition may signify that more girls are "finally stepping up to the plate and are more than capable," Jain says. "And I'm proud to be a part of that."
The issue was NEVER "are women capable." This was the gist of Lawrence Summers point...it was not "women are biologically incapable" but that gender differences mean women are A LOT LESS LIKELY to be INTERESTED in pursuing math and science careers!!!
And that still holds true!
If these girls had not been raised by two highly-educated scientists to begin with (as the article points out), chances are they would be much more interested in the typical interests of the average American Teenage girl - social networking, dating, celebrity worship, fashion etc.
Just because they are the exception to the rule does not mean the rule is wrong!
Nevertheless, the statistics are in, and the results are undeniable: the further feminization of the school systems, and as more and more boys drop out of the educational system, the more we really will see females "Dominate" every aspect of the educational fields.
They have already surpassed males in attendance and graduation at college.
So when will the feminists finally look at the numbers and realize they "achieved equality?"
Never.
Because it never was about equality. It has always been the agenda to promote female supremacy.
