Sandra Fluke is a radical feminist activist who is a sterling example of
what our government-run public schools produce today—little communist
automatons who are clueless about, or even hostile to, the true freedoms
with which this Judeo-Christian foundation nation has richly blessed
them. They have been miseducated about the United States and the
blessings of liberty and prosperity the capitalist system of our country
have provided. They do not even understand the deadly tyranny which
they stupidly work to bring about.
The only one who appears to be confused is Gina Miller. First off wanting reproductive justice doesn't make one a communist. Wanting ones insurance policy which one pays for to cover women's prescriptions the same way it covers men's prescriptions doesn't make you a communist. Really can't the right come up with anything better then labeling anyone who disagrees with them on any point a communist, oh wait they did if your a woman and you disagree with them then you get labeled a slut and a prostitute. One has to wonder if they even know the definition of communist the way they throw it around. Secondly Ms Miller our nation wasn't founded on Judeo-Christian principals it was founded on the Principals of the Enlightenment. See
for further clarification. And the only ones who seem to be interested in inflicting tyranny on anyone is the religious right who wish to control women and their bodies.
Yes, it is so unreasonable for women to want to lead happier more productive lives. It is so unreasonable that we want access to medication that
treats acne, irregular periods, heavy periods which can lead to anemia, the growth of cyst on the ovaries (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
, and has been shown to prevent ovarian and uterine cancers. Cancers for which there is no early diagnostic screening and whose prognosis is grim once it is diagnosed.
This
is also about a strong-arm campaign to silence powerful voices on the
Right, and by extension, all of us. After Rush called Sandra Fluke a
slut, the Left went into high gear with a targeting of his show’s
advertisers, and several of them immediately bowed to the contrived
pressure. Who knows how many paid activists were involved in phoning
and e-mailing those companies? I would wager that there were many
Let’s
talk for a moment about this reaction by the advertisers. Who are
these advertisers? As of this writing, the list includes, Sleep Train,
Sleep Number, Legal Zoom, Citrix, Quicken Loans, Carbonite and Pro
Flowers.
I am pleased to be able to announce that
Sears and Allstate have also pulled their advertisements. As for who complained to the advertisers I would wager that it was mainly people left and right who were disgusted that anyone would label someone a slut and a prostitute on national TV merely because they disagreed with her views. And for those who took the time to actually listen to Ms Fluke's testimony I imagine there was a fair amount of outrage that an old man could so misconstrue what she said and change the debate from getting needed medication for women with medical conditions to the amount of sex women were supposedly getting and his demand to watch. And it is disingenuous of Ms Miller to claim that the LEFT uses strong-arm tactics.
A little background on the issue of outright
fabrication is provided by an experience of the Procter and
Gamble Company. Somewhere on the extreme fringes of the religious
right the rumor was started in the early 1980s that Procter and
Gamble, the soap company, was owned by satanists and that all of
P&G's profits went to the Church of Satan. Apparently some
"Christian" had noticed the venerable P&G
trademark, which shows the man in the moon and thirteen stars
honoring the thirteen colonies, and in the total absence of any
evidence decided that this was a satanic symbol. Soon photocopied
sheets detailing the sins of P&G were circulating in every
part of the country, and as the story spread, it grew. Ultimately
it was claimed that P&G was wholly owned by the satanic
church and that its officials had appeared on the Donahue show
discussing their links to satanism.
Finding themselves attacked by religious
fanatics, Procter and Gamble fought back. Expecting that any
story so absurd and so easily disproved could be quickly stopped,
the company established a toll-flee public information number and
hired private detectives to find out who was spreading the lies.
In many states lawsuits were filed against those circulating
literature containing the false stories. Sent to all ministers in
affected areas were public relations packets with statements from
Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Draper of the Southern Baptist
Convention, and Joseph Bernardin, the Roman Catholic archbishop
of Cincinnati, all certifying that the story was a lie.
Statements from the Donahue people denied that anyone from
P&G had ever even been on that program, or that Donahue had
ever even done a show on a related topic.
All to no avail--the religious extremists whom
P&G was up against believed and printed whatever they wanted
to, regardless of the quality or quantity of the contradictory
evidence. Having the truth was nowhere near as important to them
as having a target. After trying for years with all the legal,
financial, and public relations resources of one of America's
largest companies, an incredulous P&G finally had to throw in
the towel and get rid of its trademark. They simply could not
stop the willful and intentional fabrications of religious
extremists.
The point is this: If an entity as innocuous as
a soap company can become the target of religious irrationality
and be totally unable to stop the subsequent campaign of lies,
what chance do the rest of us have.
The right invented them. But Gina Miller does them one better she turns on the former advertisers that pulled their support from Rush's show.
Meanwhile,
we will stand with Rush, and we will drop those cowardly advertisers
who dropped him. We will continue to expose the charlatans on the Left
who are trying to create a false “war on women” which only exists in
their lying sound bites. We know what this is really about; it is about
trying to distract from a tyrannical usurpation of our freedom of
religion by the power-mad man in the White House, and the despicable
attempts to steal our freedom of speech and silence our most beloved
voices on talk radio. We must not let them succeed.
Ms Miller Freedom of Religion does not give you the right to impose your religious beliefs on others and it doesn't give you the right to deny women the healthcare they deserve. And Freedom of Speech does not give Rush the right to slander a young lady who was speaking before Congress on behalf of the many women who want reproductive justice.
