The Real War on Women



If you truly believe that conservatives and republicans are waging a "war on women", please consider this...


Shuria law is a form of government established by the religious beliefs of Islam as described in the Quran. Government and religion are one. Islam believes women are property that are subservient and belong to men. Muslim women under Shuria law are not allowed an education, they are forced to marry whomever their father chooses, they cannot show their face to other men, etc. If they violate any of these religious rules they are jailed, tortured and often killed in the name of honor if it's discovered they have had sex before marriage, even if they were raped. The rapist has no consequences 9 times out of 10, because to them a mans word is worth more than a women's. Young women can be lawfully executed in the name of honor if their father feels shamed by their actions or disrespected in a way that negates their religious beliefs. Or perhaps they are buried in the ground up to their shoulders while a mob takes turns throwing stones at their head.


China has a one child per family policy. As a result, their government forces young women to have abortions and unlawful children are sold or killed after birth to avoid persecution. Anyone who stands up for a women's right to choose in China is (like the Chinese activist all over the news) beaten and jailed or put on house arrest. Their government threatens their wife and children as leverage. Freedom of speech is all but non existent. Why are our progressive brothers not concerned with this? They claim Republicans have declared a "war on women" and yet they embrace Islam and pander to an oppressive communist government. It seems like they don't care about women at all unless it helps democrats get elected or stay in office.


Where was their outrage when Sarah Palin and her daughters were being slandered with charges of stupidity, promiscuity and ignorance? I know exactly where they were. They were on TV telling us how an untested community organizer, now freshman senator could be a better President than a decrepid old man and a dumb cheerleader hockey mom from Alaska. Hope and Change has become Divide and Blame. Gas prices have doubled. Five trillion has been added to the national debt by a man who said he would cut the debt in half during his first term. Bin Laden has been killed as a result of intelligence gathering operations that started under the Bush administration which Obama opposed from the start. We've stopped water boarding terrorists for information (in the name of ethical standards) and now we just kill them with predator drones. Actions always speak louder than words unless your not watching. Don't be fooled by the magicians. While their distracting you with one hand, their playing tricks on you with the other.
Every time.


"Human nature itself is evermore an advocate for liberty. There is also in human nature a resentment of injury, and indignation against wrong. A love of truth and a veneration of virtue. These amiable passions, are the "latent spark"... If the people are capable of understanding, seeing and feeling the differences between true and false, right and wrong, virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"

John Adams speach in support of the Declaration of Independence

this was brought to my attention inadvertently through my fellow blogger Nick Moreno. it is thought to be the speech that John Adams gave to the members of the continental congress after the final signature was added to the Declaration of Independence and Americas future as a sovereign nation was set in motion..



I can only imagine the emotion that accompanied this speech on that fateful day! and if Americans today could even remotely fathom the sacrifice these great men put forth in order to form a more perfect union, no one alive today would take for granted the freedom and liberty our founders gave so greatly for!

Here is the text of Mr. Adams speech from that historic day....


SINK or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and my heart to this vote. It is true, indeed, that in the beginning we aimed not at independence. But there is a Divinity which shapes our ends. The injustice of England has driven us to arms; and, blinded to her own interest and 0ur good she has 0bstinately persisted, till independence is now within 0ur grasp. We have but to reach forth to it, and it is ours. Why, then, should we defer the Declaration? Is any man so weak as now to hope for a reconciliation with England, which shall leave neither safety to- the country and its liberties, nor safety to his life and his own honor? Are you not, sir, who sit in that chair, is not he, 0ur venerable colleague near you, are you not both already the proscribed and predestined objects of punishment and of vengeance? Cut off from all hope of royal clemency, what are you, what can you be, while the power of England remains, but outlaws?

If we postpone independence, do we mean to carry on or give up the war? Do we mean to submit to the measures of Parliament, Boston Port-Bill and all? Do we mean to submit, and consent that we ourselves shall be ground to powder, and our country and its rights trodden down in the dust? I know we do not mean to submit. We never shall submit. D0 we mean to violate that most solemn obligation ever entered into by men, that plighting before God, of our sacred honor to Washington, when, putting him forth to incur the dangers 0f war, as well as the political hazards of the times, we promised to adhere to him, in every extremity, with our fortunes and our lives? I know there is not a man here, who would not rather see a general conflagration sweep over the land, or an earthquake sink it, than one jot or tittle of that plighted faith fall to the ground. For myself, having, twelve months ago, in this place, moved you, that George Washington be appointed commander of the forces raised, or to be raised, for defense 0f American liberty, may my right hand forget her cunning, and my tongue cleave t0 the roof of my mouth, if I hesitate or waver in the support I give him.
The war, then, must go on. We must fight it through. And if the war must go o n, why put off longer the Declaration of Independence? That measure will strengthen us. It will give us character abroad. The nations will then treat with us, which they never can do while we acknowledge ourselves subjects in arms against our sovereign. Nay, I maintain that England herself will sooner treat for peace with us on the footing of independence than consent, by repealing her Acts, to acknowledge that her whole conduct toward us has been a course of injustice and oppression. Her pride will be less wounded by submitting to that course of things which now predestinates our independence than by yielding the points in controversy to her rebellious subjects. The former she would regard as the result of fortune; the latter she would feel as her own deep disgrace. Why, then, why, then, sir, do we not as soon as possible change this from a civil to a national war? And, since we must fight it through, why not put ourselves in a state to enjoy all the benefits of victory, if we gain the victory?
If we fail, it can be no worse for us. But we shall not fail. The cause will raise up armies ; the cause will create navies. The people, the people, if we are true to them, will carry us, and will carry themselves, gloriously through the struggle. I care not how fickle other people have been found. I know the people of these Colonies, and I know that resistance to British aggression is deep and settled in their hearts, and cannot be eradicated. Every Colony, indeed, has expressed its willingness to follow, if we but take the lead,
Sir, the Declaration will inspire the people with in-creased courage. Instead of a long and bloody war for restoration 0f privileges, for redress of grievances, for chartered immunities, held under a British King, set before them the gloriousness of entire in-dependence, and it will breathe into them anew the breath of life. Read this Declaration at the head of the army ; every sword will be drawn from its scab-bard, and the solemn vow uttered to maintain it, or to perish on the bed of honor. Publish it from the pulpit; religion will approve it, and the love of religious liberty will cling round it, resolved to stand with it, or fall with it. Send it to the public halls ; proclaim it there ; let them hear it who heard the first roar of the enemy's cannon ; let them see it who saw their brothers and their sons fall on the field of Bunker Hill, and in the streets of Lexington and Concord, and the very walls will cry 0ut in its support.
But whatever may be our fate, be assured, be assured that this Declaration will stand. It may cost treasure, and it may cost blood, but it will stand, and it will richly compensate for both. Through the thick gloom of the present, I see the brightness of the future, as the sun in heaven. We shall make this a glorious, an immortal day. When we are in our graves, our children will honor it. They will celebrate it with thanksgiving, with festivity, with bonfires and illuminations. On its annual return, they will shed tears, copious, gushing tears, not of subjection and slavery, not of agony and distress, but of exultation, of gratitude and of joy. Sir, before God, I believe the hour is come. My judgment approves this measure, and my whole heart is in it. All that I have, and all that I am, and all that I hope, in this life, I am now ready here to stake upon it. And I leave off as I began, that, live or die, survive or perish, I am for the Declaration. It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, Independence now, and INDEPENDENCE FOREVER !
