Former Arkansas Governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has been poking the whores’ nest recently, by making some bold remarks on his TV show and at a Republican National Committee luncheon last Thursday. Democrats and their media operatives went apoplectic.
“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are hopeless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them with their prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” Huckabee announced, sending seismic shocks throughout the ranks of both major parties.
Good for him. I don’t buy into this propaganda spin that says the Republican Party has an image problem, and needs to “rebrand” itself with all kinds of “progressive” posturing in order to woo more women voters, minority voters, and so forth. The people who say that–and there are an extremely large number of them who do say it–are really actually saying that republicans must abandon what we believe in and become democrats. It really is that simple.
Liberal democrats have perfected the art of constantly keeping conservatives on our heels backpedaling, defending, apologizing, groveling, and denying. Denying that we are this, or that, or stand for this, that, the other thing…come on. Let’s just stand up for what we believe in and be who we are. If our culture and our country have changed so much and become so corrupted that our views, principles, and platform are no longer popular or relevant or electable, then that is that, and we’ll simply lose elections and eventually cease to exist. So what?
Really, so what? I mean, how much control do we really have, over whether people voluntarily do the right thing or not, according to what we believe is the right thing? It’s God’s job to change hearts, not ours. And it’s vanity to think that we know with utter certainty, better than anyone else, what the right thing is. But that doesn’t mean we are off the hook from having to try to know, and to act. Yes, we do have some amount of influence, and we have to exert it to the extent possible. We have to make the case and seek to persuade, through various practical means. But there is a limit. And that limit is the same limit point which says once we stop ardently advocating for our beliefs, and instead cave in to what our opponents say we should think, do, and be, we cease to do the right thing by our consciences, or even be who we are. We are not all that interested in selling our souls, to win worldly elections.
Bringing us to the point in question: Huckabee was actually saying that it is the democrats, and their agenda/message of government dependence and avoidance of consequences for poor lifestyle choices, who insult American women–not republicans, with our message of independence from big government, and personal responsibility. What’s so hard to grasp about that? Nothing. It’s easy and clear. But the hyper-spin began even long before Mike Huckabee opened his mouth. The script always gets flipped around to make it sound like the republican party, admittedly comprised of a larger proportion of older Caucasian men as mouthpieces and ordinary members than the democrats, is somehow waging a “war on women” and hates minorities, and so on.
All because we dare stick with the tried and true, naturally engineered and ordained gender roles of eons and eons of human experience, and because we advocate for the preservation and prevalence of a unique, unprecedented, and wildly successful culture that was built with the blood sacrifices of millions of our English-speaking forefathers, a culture which is still the envy of the world and attracts millions to our shores to share in it. What is wrong with having spokespeople and advocates for that way of life, who happen to largely resemble those who designed, fought for, and died for it?
Nothing. Nothing at all. There’s nothing wrong with having older white male republicans lecturing to young, brazen, uppity communist slatterns among our overall population to keep their knees together until marriage and stop acting like prostitutes, spreading diseases and psychological damage, stop aborting millions of babies, and get back to tending the hearth and home like virtuous women should.
Such lectures need to be given and heard, and almost no one else else is delivering them. So it is up to us old white men to put our feet down where appropriate. Someone has to say it, someone has to do it. I applaud Mike Huckabee.
Well, the horse is so far out of the barn on this subject that he’s already in the next COUNTY!
I blame Liberals, FemiNazis and the NOW Hags for this. Women’s Lib didn’t ‘liberate’ me. It just allowed me to work as hard as a man for half the pay, AND have to tend the home fires as well and raise the kids!
Wow. What a deal. *SNORT*
LOL
Inspirational bump
In a culture where premarital sex (fornication, that ignored sin) has been utterly normalised to the point where it has become part of the growing experience of the average individual, don’t expect political dividend from criticising the same.
Not for a loooong time, anyway.
Gov. Huckabee and the writer make very valid points regarding the dependency younger American women have on the government for every need in their lives, especially contraceptives which are opposed by many churches and the Pro Life Movement.
The GOP in the 2014 and 2016 elections must accentuate these facts in their campaigns and speak of the correlation between the Democratic Party, the party’s advocacy young women engaging premarital sex which leads to abortion and contraceptive use all funded largely by the tax payer.
In many respects, the relationship between the Democratic Party and young single women is akin to that of John and prostitute.
The Democrats condone and finance their premarital sex and the young women vote Democrat.
If you own your own business, as many of us do, I can vouch for scores of men who, on the surface, make a good living. Problem is they work 60-70 hours/week, without a real vacation, take all the risk AND shoulder half of the household responsibilities. And get little thanks in return.
And that is also a result of the FemiNazi’s war on family as well.
Until women can produce children with zero genetic material from men, I will continue to speak on “reproductive rights”.
“In a culture where premarital sex (fornication, that ignored sin) has been utterly normalised to the point where it has become part of the growing experience of the average individual, don’t expect political dividend from criticising the same.”
On top of all that we the tax payer must finance these women’s adventures in premarital sex!
Could you imagine the outrage of the Feminists if Medicare were paying for Viagra?
He is correct on this point, of course. There are some FReepers who wet their pants when they hear this talk and say "Oh No, the media will kill us, we can't go around slapping liberal cultural, we have to be nice to them or they will be mean to us on TV"... as if they would be nice to us anyways.

Someone posted here a few weeks ago about a conversation he (she?) had with his daughter (high school or college age), who had been dating a boy for about six months and then the boy broke up with her because she refused to have sex with him.
The preachers should also save some energy and attention for the males with these attitudes. The burden is overwhelmingly placed on the woman to enforce the morals. The immoral males will simply shrug and go on to the next "easy" woman, and the moral woman is left abandoned.
Note I said "males" and not "men." A man is responsible.
I have a creepy feeling that the progressives are secretly funding research towards same-sex reproduction. Egg+egg or sperm+sperm (plus artificial womb if needed) to make a baby.
Exactly!! Cowering to their demands and their “helpful” recommendations that we tailor our messaging to sound more like democrats gets us nothing, no love, no favor, no election victories. We’re suckers if we take the bait and sell our souls. Either we win on our merits and principles which have persuaded enough people that we are best to lead the country, or we lose because the voters are too corrupt and stupid to know what’s best for them. I’m fine with either way.
Great point, and yes, we have to go after the males as well.
They have already figured out how to do it.
