Aspiring presidential Michele Bachmann sad throwback to 50's America (Spew-tastic)

So there are some Canadians more obtuse than Europeans?

[Still Thinking]

Female misogynist. Sad.

[edpc]

Bigoted and uninformed, Bachmann could have served as Exhibit A for the inherent unsuitability of women for high, or even low, public office.

As long as the Canadians have Annie Linteau as the RCMP spokesperson, they cannot insult capabilities or intelligence of any female public figures in the US.

[Inyo-Mono]

It was a move that could be interpreted in a number of ways: she hadn't bothered to see what was already law; she didn't care; the real point was to call attention to herself as a fearless campaigner against any deviation from a Bible-based, 1950s suburban/rural American norm.

Sounds good to me.

[muawiyah]

This sounds more like the French Canadian elite ~ currently their standard for family life is to just have sex with their women but not marry them.

At the slightest sign of family stress they either kick the women in the street or move out.

Really can't take comments from Quebec males as being legitimate.

Such name calling without making a single argument precludes me from taking any thing else in the "article" seriously.

[trumandogz]

Unlike Michele, they don’t understand the threat of the Soviet Union.

You are restricting your acceptance to logical arguments. The author IS making a leftist argument. Name calling is a valid leftist argumment and to a leftist, that is sufficient. The ends justifies the means.

[MNnice]

They’re frantic. If the Left loses any more women to the Right, all they’ll have between them and total elimination will be gays and minorities.

They MUST destroy the conservative women who would lead others from the wet nurse state.

You mean as compared to the genius of Obama?
The man who said "today the Earth begins to heal, and the oceans start to recede".
The post racial president?
The smartest man in the world?

[MestaMachine]

oooooo....You are bad. Wait ‘til they figure out what you just said. ROFL.

[MestaMachine]

Aw geez! We’re back in the smoky backroom again!

[reg45]

The ‘50s were great. The clowns were on children’s television instead of in the White House.

[reg45]

The pmost racial president?

[susannah59]

The writer doesn't seem to understand the US political system all that well when he talks about the constitutional amendment she proposed. (If the legislature passed a law, you couldn't possibly need a constitutional amendment addressing the same issue, now could you?)

I found the article rather narrow-minded. I also get really, really tired of Christians and/or conservatives being treated like some sort of lunatic fringe.

[familyop]

Wow, a feminist rant from The Montreal Gazette in French Canada. Just goes to show that if you dig far enough,... Conservatives don't care for the dishonest, anti-family nature of feminism, although many Democrats and Republicans do.

[OldNewYork]

Throwback to the 50’s? What identified her - that she’s running for the Republican nomination in the presidential election? So 50’s.

Do editors even look through stories and headlines anymore, or are they entirely reliant on automatic spell-check? Hard to understand how this one slipped through.

[tarotsailor]

Listen, you ignorant women out there who refuse to be victims...we've got a victim industry in America employing thousands of liberal law professors, lawyers and government employees, and if you think you're going to put them out of business with all this uppity success, independence and personal responsibility nonsense, that's selfish, a betrayal of womankind and treason against our great leader at the time when the Obamagruppenfuhrer needs us most.

El Sarcasmo.
