Jane Chastain : Politically Direct

For 15 years, I have stood up against the right-wing machine and I’ve come out stronger. So if you want a winner who knows how to take them on, I’m your girl.

She didn’t say that,

was my first reaction to the shocking line delivered by Hillary Rodham Clinton at the AFL-CIO Democratic Presidential Forum earlier this month. It was a poke in the eye to her Wellesley classmates and an insult to the feminist sisterhood with whom she has stood toe-to-toe since she shed her Goldwater Girl ideology back in the ’60s.

I used to hate this time of year. My stomach was in knots as I encountered eager young girls dressed in smart green or brown uniforms selling Girl Scout cookies.There was a time when I simply bought a box from every young girl I encountered. It didn’t matter how many boxes I already had at home. I simply bought more. I thought of it as a way to pay back the people who bought them from me in my youth. Also, I was giving other young girls a chance to enjoy the scouting experience.

Enough!

As much as it hurts me to turn down a cute little girl, wide-eyed with the anticipation of her next sale, I simply can’t do it anymore!

It’s not that I don’t want to support scouting. It’s just that I cannot continue to support what the Girl Scouts have become: a tool of the radical feminist movement, anti-God, pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality. Read the rest of this entry »

It may provide a cure for cancer, brain tumors, diabetes, Cushing’s syndrome, infertility, hypertension, endometriosis, ulcers and even AIDS.

These bold claims were made in the late 1980s and early 1990s, not on behalf of embryonic stem cell research, but for the abortion pill RU-486 or Mifepristone. The left – more specifically the abortion/feminist lobby – boldly asserted that this deadly drug could be the cure for everything from ingrown toenails to aging, all for the purpose of getting our government to lift the import ban on the chemical abortion pill.

Funny thing, after the Clinton FDA approved RU-486 for abortions, we stopped hearing about the “possible” beneficial uses of the drug. For the record: Mifepristone has not completed clinical trials for any of these other uses. Read the rest of this entry »

Angry feminists are out waving wire coat hangers again. In its latest issue, Ms. Magazine has a picture of one bent into the shape of South Dakota. In November, residents of the Mount Rushmore state will vote on an initiative to remove a law that bans most abortions there. The wire coat hanger would be a much better symbol for the feminist brain, more air than substance.Ms. went trolling for women who had abortions, who were willing to come forward and say they are proud of their decisions. The magazine plans to send the list to legislative bodies across the nation and to the president. Read the rest of this entry »

The long awaited hour-long debate between Sen. George Allen, R-Va., and his Democrat challenger, Jim Webb, on “Meet the Press” was down right embarrassing. Both men want to be known as strong military eaders. However, when host Tim Russert pressed them on the issue of women in combat, both men were swept overboard in a sea of political correctness and grabbed for a lifeboat of feminist ideology.For the uninitiated, feminists don’t see a need for the military, but, if we must have one, they want to run it. It is difficult to climb up the chain of command without combat experience. That’s why it is necessary to perpetuate the myth that men and women are interchangeable fungibles.
