Laura Ingraham filling in for Bill O'Reilly on the Factor last night was genuinely shocked to hear this Gloria Feldt woman, who is supposedly a feminist, NOT stand up for women getting completely slandered in the case of Carrie Prejean, the Miss California woman who believes in traditional marriage. The interview's purpose was to discuss the ridiculous treatment of Prejean on Keith Olbermann's show in MSNBC.
Here is the clip of Laura and Gloria Feldt: Note that Feldt is immediately on the attack.
After watching this, let's take a little stroll to Feldt's website and see how she really feels... In late February it appears she had an interview with a Gender Studies (what?!) major from New York named Lee Taylor. When asked what she felt were important feminist issues today, Feldt responded with,
"Media justice for women is another area I’ve become involved with in recent years, because the portrayal of women as objects or idiots in the media is harmful, and the fact that women hold only 3% of the clout positions in media leadership is one appalling reason why."
The standing up for women rights and "gender equality" by the left apparently only applies to those who agree with them. Good thing they have such open minds. This woman cannot even live up to the standards she applies to everyone else.
Yes, the target of fawning idolatry from white males feeling guilty about being white and wanting everyone to be sure they are not racists spent 540 dollars on a pair of shoes. Okay, fine. I get it. Shoes are expensive these days, and people try to look good. The kicker is that Michelle "Ashamed of America" Obama wore these to a D.C. food drive that she was sponsoring. A little common sense would tell you that's not appropriate, or that if you care so much you could buy shoes from Kohl's for 60 bucks and give the other 490 to the people lining up for food.
This can be tied into another soup kitchen shocker with Michelle. In early March Michelle posed for a picture behind the counter:
What is wrong with this picture? This gentleman is in a poor enough financial situation that he needs to get a free meal provided by a soup kitchen, but he has enough money to get a cell phone to take pictures with. You would think that would make ol' Michelle stop and wonder, and maybe it did. We'll never know. But she will continue to aide her husband in redistributing the wealth to people that are not responsible and buy cell phones before food.
A new internet magazine called "Jihad Recollections" which is focused and aimed at Americans in an attempt to recruit them for the Jihad. Foxnews.com likens it to the "Vanity Fair" for Al Qaeda. The radical Muslims are in our backyard, contrary to what many in the media and Janet Napolitano would lead you to believe. The first issue says of the 9/11 attacks, that “the strategy was genius.” It calls America “one of the most atrocious and egotistical regimes to date,” and it asserts that America's embassies exist for the sole purpose of spreading evil. “How can we expect from America any good? We only expect from it every evil and corruption.”
The magazine can be read here, I highly suggest checking out the recommended exercise techniques demonstrated by a radical around page 25. It's good for a laugh. Here are some pictures featured in this disturbing magazine:
This really speaks for itself. When visiting Stanford a student confronted her about torture at Guantanamo Bay. No matter your politics, you have to give Condi credit for not backing down on this one and standing firm in her beliefs while showing reason and logic to an illogical college kid.
Right-wing talk show host Jay Severin out of WTKK Boston was suspended yesterday for...offending people? Read below and decide for yourself:
"When we are the magnet for primitives around the world - and it's not the primitives' fault by the way, I'm not blaming them for being primitives - I'm merely observing they're primitive,"
"It's millions of leeches from a primitive country come here to leech off you and, with it, they are ruining the schools, the hospitals, and a lot of life in America,"
"We should be, if anything, surprised that Mexico has not visited upon us poxes of more various and serious types already, considering the number of criminaliens already here."
Let's compare this to Jamie Foxx's recent comments about 16 year old, white girl Miley Cyrus, here's the soundclip, language warning...
It's pretty clear that there is a double standard for free speech based on race. I mean, look at Don Imus. Why aren't the same standards applied to everyone, not just white commentators.
According to Nielson's ratings, President Obama's latest prime time press conference held to celebrate the 100 days since his Coronation was viewed by 29 percent less people than his last. It should be mentioned that Fox carried its drama "Lie to Me", which made a mere ten networks carrying the speech as opposed to eleven. To steal a joke, how would Fox viewers know the difference? They pretty much lucked out. Between the President talking circles around a select few legitimate questions, viewers were subjected to such hardballs as the question asked by the New York Times reporter that went as follows: "During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving in this office, humbled you the most and troubled you the most?"
Instead of asking questions about, oh, I don't know, an international pandemic or the possibility of a nuclear armed, powerful terrorist organization, we get this question that could have been written by his mother. That's the New York Times, and that's why they're begging for a bailout from their buddy Barack. To be fair, the press on the whole did a little better with their questions, but that only caused The Great Orator to put his ability to not answer questions in 6000 words to less to greater use.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -Ronald Reagan
"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." -Ronald Reagan
Reagan showed an appreciation and an understanding of freedom and what it meant to be free that is not often seen anymore. We are headed down a road that is contradictory to the values of capitalism, freedom of speech, liberty, and the right to bear arms. The scary part about all this is, there are a lot of people out therethat do not see why this is not good, a lot of people that don't understand why a socialist system does not work. When you begin handing people everything, where is the incentive to work? To contribute the society held so dear? Why should the small business owner who has worked his entire life to achieve his dream of owning his own business be forced to sacrifice what he has earned in order to give someone who has been down on his luck an opportunity? At that point, where is the incentive to keep working hard, providing jobs, and contributing to the economy?
On the surface the ideological and fiscal values of socialism seem unselfish and seem to benefit all. However a deeper study of it shows that it just does not work. This applies to Communism as well. The system's simplest flaw is that human nature does not allow for it. There will always be people who want others to do all the work, and there will then be those who do not want to provide for the lazy. When you begin taking away the freedoms of some for the benefit of undeserving and those who have not earned it is when a democratic nation, built on freedom and liberty, becomes another European socialistic country with restrictions on rights, restrictions on creativity, and a penchant to look to others when in need instead of looking within.
The first time I started to think about abortion was in 1960, when I was in second year medical school. I was assigned the case of a young woman who had died of a septic abortion. She had aborted herself using slippery elm bark.
I had never heard of slippery elm. A buddy and I went down to skid row, and without too much difficulty, purchased some slippery elm bark to use as a visual aid in our presentation. Slippery elm is not sterile, and frequently contains spores of the bacteria that cause gas gangrene. It is called slippery elm because, when it gets wet, it feels slippery. This makes it easier to slide slender pieces through the cervix where they absorb water, expand, dilate the cervix, produce infection and induce abortion. The young woman in our case developed an overwhelming infection. At autopsy she had multiple abscesses throughout her body, in her brain, lungs, liver and abdomen.
I have never forgotten that case.
After I graduated from University of British Columbia medical school in 1962, I went to Chicago, where I served my internship and Ob/Gyn residency at Cook County Hospital. At that time, Cook County had about 3,000 beds, and served a mainly indigent population. If you were really sick, or really poor, or both, Cook County was where you went.
The first month of my internship was spent on Ward 41, the septic obstetrics ward. Yes, it's hard to believe now, but in those days, they had one ward dedicated exclusively to septic complications of pregnancy.
About 90% of the patients were there with complications of septic abortion. The ward had about 40 beds, in addition to extra beds which lined the halls. Each day we admitted between 10-30 septic abortion patients. We had about one death a month, usually from septic shock associated with hemorrhage.
I will never forget the 17-year-old girl lying on a stretcher with 6 feet of small bowel protruding from her vagina. She survived.
I will never forget the jaundiced woman in liver and kidney failure, in septic shock, with very severe anemia, whose life we were unable to save.
Today, in Canada and the U.S., septic shock from illegal abortion is virtually never seen. Like smallpox, it is a "disappeared disease."
I had originally been drawn to obstetrics and gynecology because I loved delivering babies. Abortion was illegal when I trained, so I did not learn how to do abortions in my residency, although I had more than my share of experience looking after illegal abortion complications. In 1972, a couple of years after the law on abortion was liberalized, I began the practise of obstetrics and gynecology, and joined a three-man group in Vancouver. My practice partners and I believed strongly that a woman should be able to decide for herself if and when to have a baby. We were frequently asked to look after women who needed termination of pregnancy. Although I had done virtually no terminations in my training, I soon learned how. I also learned just how much demand there was for abortion services.
Providing abortion services can be quite stressful. Usually, an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy is the worst trouble the patient has ever been in in her entire life.
I remember one 18-year-old patient who desperately wanted an abortion, but felt she could not confide in her mother, who was a nurse in another Vancouver area hospital. She impressed on me how important it was that her termination remain a secret from her family. In those years, parental consent was required if the patient was less than 19 years old. I obtained the required second opinion from a colleague, and performed an abortion on her.
About two weeks, later I received a phone call from her mother. She asked me directly "Did you do an abortion on my daughter?" Visions of legal suit passed through my mind as I tried to think of how to answer her question. I decided to answer directly and truthfully. I answered with trepidation, "Yes, I did" and started to make mental preparations to call my lawyer. The mother replied: "Thank you, Doctor. Thank God there are people like you around."
Like many of my colleagues, I had been the subject of antiabortion picketing, particularly in the 1980s. I did not like having my office and home picketed, or nails thrown into my driveway, but viewed these picketers as a nuisance, exercising their right of free speech. Being in Canada, I felt I did not have to worry about my physical security.
I had been a medical doctor for 32 years when I was shot at 7:10 a.m., Nov. 8, 1994. For over half my life, I had been providing obstetrical and gynecological care, including abortions. It is still hard for me to understand how someone could think I should be killed for helping women get safe abortions.
I had a very severe gun shot wound to my left thigh. My thigh bone was fractured, large blood vessels severed, and a large amount of my thigh muscles destroyed. I almost died several times from blood loss and multiple other complications. After about two years of physical and emotional rehabilitation, with a great deal of support from my family and the medical community, I was able to resume work on a part-time basis. I was no longer able to deliver babies or perform major gynecological surgery. I had to take security measures, but I continued to work as a gynecologist, including providing abortion services. My life had changed, but my views on choice remained unchanged, and I was continuing to enjoy practicing medicine. I told people that I was shot in the thigh, not in my sense of humour.
Six years after the shooting, on July 11, 2000, shortly after entering the clinic where I had my private office, a young man approached me. There was nothing unusual about his appearance until he suddenly got a vicious look on his face, stabbed me in the left flank area and then ran away.
This could have been a lethal injury, but fortunately no vital organs were seriously involved, and after six days of hospital observation I was able to return home. The physical implications were minor, but the security implications were major. After two murder attempts, all my security advisers concurred that I was at increased risk for another attack.
My family and I had to have some serious discussions about my future. The National Abortion Federation provided me with a very experienced personal security consultant. He moved into our home and lived with us for three days, talked with us, assessed my personality, visited the places that I worked in and gave me security advice. In those three days, he got to know me well. After he finished his evaluation, when I was dropping him off at the airport, his departing words to me were "Gary, you have to go back to work."
About two months after the stabbing, I returned to the practise of medicine, but with added security measures. Since the year 2000, I have restricted my practise exclusively to abortion provision.
These acts of terrorist violence have affected virtually every aspect of my and my family's life. Our lives have changed forever. I must live with security measures that I never dreamed about when I was learning how to deliver babies.
Let me tell you about an abortion patient I looked after recently. She was 18 years old, and 18-19 weeks pregnant. She came from a very strict, religious family. She was an only daughter, and had several brothers. She was East Indian Hindu and her boyfriend was East Indian Muslim, which did not please her parents. She told me if her parents found out she was pregnant she would be disowned and kicked out of the family home. She also told me that her brothers would murder her boyfriend, and I believed her. About an hour after her operation I and my nurse saw her and her boyfriend walking out of the clinic hand in hand, and I said to my nurse, "Look at that. We saved two lives today."
I love my work. I get enormous personal and professional satisfaction out of helping people, and that includes providing safe, comfortable, abortions. The people that I work with are extraordinary, and we all feel that we are doing important work, making a real difference in peoples' lives.
I can take an anxious woman, who is in the biggest trouble she has ever experiences in her life, and by performing a five-minute operation, in comfort and dignity, I can give her back her life. After an abortion operation, patients frequently say "Thank You Doctor." But abortion is the only operation I know of where they also sometimes say "Thank you for what you do."
I want to tell you one last story that I think epitomizes the satisfaction I get from my privileged work. Some years ago I spoke to a class of University of British Columbia medical students. As I left the classroom, a student followed me out. She said: "Dr. Romalis, you won't remember me, but you did an abortion on me in 1992. I am a second year medical student now, and if it weren't for you I wouldn't be here now."
There are people out there who have really justified the killing of innocent humans in their minds. There is no other explanation for someone that could do something as cowardly as taking a baby's life. And it is clear to see, people like this coward are out there, and they think what they are doing is not just OK, but a great service to mankind. I don't feel bad for this man. The attempts on his life are wrong, but he takes lives everyday, and at least he was given a chance at life from the beginning.
"I notice everyone who is pro-choice has already been born."
If you skip to 1:10 you can learn how grateful Iraq is for all we have done over there. They think the "tyranny" of America is comprable to that of Saddam.
