Is Feminism For Women's Rights or Just Abortion Rights?

I had always described myself a a feminist.  A feminist to me was some one who believed in equal pay for equal work, equal opportunity in jobs and in schools.  I also subscribed to the pro choice decision in Roe versus Wade. 

I no longer attach myself to the tittle of feminist.  It no longer has the same meaning.  Kim Gandy and the organization NOW has endorsed obama, because he is the "pro choice candidate.  They no longer work toward equal pay and opportunity for women, they are only concerned about abortion.

Just as the democrats have failed me, NOW has also taken a turn in another direction which does not include all we have fought to obtain.

They will not back Sarah Palin because she chose for herself and child, life.  This her belief and her choice.  Joe biden also believes life begins at conception and abortion is morally wrong, but they do not hound him.

The democratic party and NOW used to believe in "choice but do not believe Sarah Palin has a choice.

Women, like men, come in all colors and stripes, all sizes and shapes and all are uniquely different.  Some believe that life begins are birth, when the breath of life enters the lungs, some at conception.  But we are all women.

Senator John McCain makes an example of equal pay for equal work by practicing that in his Senate office and his campaign.  Does BO?

Actions, my friend, actions, speak louder than any words spoken.  Remember bull-crap walks.

Confession

Okay! okay! I admit it. I was not courteous, in fact I reckon you would say I was downright mean. But I am still angry, I did not know just exactly how angry until this evening.

As soon as I walked inside my house my cell phone started to ring. A young man asked if I was "Saren", I said yes? He said he was, sorry, I recall his name now, but he said he was calling from the Seminole Democrats. Well, about then my temperature began to rise, my hair stood up on top my head, lord I knew I was pissed.

I quickly informed him that I was no longer a Democrat. He says he has a list. I tell him that when the DNC decided to take away my vote, I decided to tell them "fuck you" and I hung up.

I ain't a gonna apologize for what I said. I mean what I say and say what I mean. Although I usually am not mean about saying it. But what is done is done.

Now, just heard that Senator Hillary Clinton will have have her name put into the nomination process at the convention in Denver. Well, have to think about that. hmmmmm

Is there a chance that there is enough buyers remorse about BO to change the outcome? Yes, there is. But the problem is that stupid process. Florida's pledged delegates must vote for the candidate that they were elected to vote for for the first and second ballot, by the rules, then they are released to vote their choice. Don't know how it works in other states, each state party has their own rules.

Now, if you notice the quote at the bottom of most my posts, you will see that Hillary stood up for my vote. What did BO do for my vote? He made sick jokes about the votes being counted.

I don't think that they are going to throw BO out and put Hillary in as the nominee. Just been around too long and seen too much, the girl gets the shaft too often. But if they do, I'll vote for her. But I ain't a gonna vote for BO or no other democrat.

Well done said my piece so reckon I'll sign off now.





"We cannot go forward until Florida and Michigan are taken care of, otherwise the eventual nominee will not have the legitimacy that I think will haunt us. I can imagine the ads the Republican Party and John McCain will run if we don't figure out how we can count the votes in Michigan and Florida."
