Nasty Women Writing a Horrifying History of Our Times

by 
I remember an important lesson my parents began teaching me as a young lady. It’s a lesson that has been lost to the liberal tyranny of the crass, and the proof was the Women’s March in Washington D.C. last Saturday.
It’s a simple lesson on its face, but very significant, with far-reaching effects. It was this: As a woman, you teach a man how to treat you.
(That is not meant in any way to disparage men, or to imply that they are too dense to figure things out for themselves.)
What they wanted me to understand was that I had to decide what sort of woman I would be, and that my own behavior would largely determine how I was treated by men. Dad also wanted me to know that if any boorish man treated me badly, and I tolerated it, then I was teaching him it was okay to be a pig, and at that point, I was my own worst enemy.
The point is, by and large, men want to do right by women, so it’s incumbent upon the ladies to inspire them. Men aspire to honor and nobility, and most will respond accordingly when a woman encourages that behavior. I still believe men are inclined to take their cue from the ladies. Unfortunately, a man who is prone to lesser standards won’t need much encouragement at all to sink even further, and when women themselves behave badly, and tolerate bad behavior from a man, then mud begets mud and more mud.
The Crass Women’s March
That brings me to the gargantuan display of crassness that came out of the Women’s March. The profanity and vulgarity exhibited there was disgusting and embarrassing. We’ve all read about or heard Madonna’s foul-mouthed rant, and the same for Ashley Judd’s filthy speech praising nastiness among women as some new badge of honor.
If all that wasn’t enough, the signage carried by non-celebrity women was every bit as crude as what Madonna and Judd spewed from the podium. Grown women walked around dressed in vagina costumes. They wore hats sporting cat ears — a reference to the crass synonym for female genitalia. They carried signs that read, “P**** Grabs Back!” and “The Future is Nasty!” I saw one photo of a mother pushing her two little daughters in a stroller and pinned to the stroller was a sign reading, “Stay Nasty!” (Yes, I do understand the reference to Trump calling Hillary a nasty woman.)
I saw one woman holding a sign on which was painted the full female reproductive system with the slogan, “This Machine Kills Fascists!” What that could possibly mean, I can’t fathom.
The photo that tore my heart was one of a little girl about 3 years old holding onto a big sign in front of her that read, “F*** Your Fascist Bulls***”. Her mother was standing behind her smiling. What kind of woman does that to her daughter??
It seems clear that nasty is the new liberal “feminist” mantra. These women have responded to the degrading talk of a man they despise by being every bit as degrading, except it’s worse because they’re doing it to themselves. And they foolishly believe it makes them powerful or something. It doesn’t. It makes them gross and vulgar.
They’ve decided that nasty is a compliment, and they’re determined to prove just how nasty they can be. On that note, they sure succeeded. They’ve made it perfectly clear that as women, they are merely parts to be objectified. They — not Donald Trump — they have reduced women to nothing but their sexual parts. They have taught every man watching that their womanhood is not a thing of dignity or beauty, but something nasty that revolves entirely around sex. A woman is not a person to be taken as a whole and cherished and protected, but sexual pieces to be dehumanized and profaned.
Their example won’t be forgotten. Nasty women will inspire nasty treatment. Guys will feel free to refer to the female anatomy in crude “locker room” terms, cause hey! The women are doing it themselves!
We expect the men to be decent and honorable when the women are so indecent and vile? How does that work?
Their Killer Motive, The Unimaginable Consequences
Underscoring all the nastiness, of course, was the premier motive of the whole march: Abortion on Demand and Without Apology! We shall kill the“unwanted” if we jolly well want to, and don’t you dare try to take away our “rights!”
This is the tone liberal women in America have set. Genitals on display; crassness, vulgarity, and nastiness, loud and proud; and an absolute, irrevocable license to kill. These are the maxims of women who decry the intolerable offense of a man who once simply took them at their word. (They still love Bill Clinton and Roman Polanski though. Never mind their rapist, lecherous tendencies.)
To sum it up: Venerable Fulton Sheen was right when he told us: “To a great extent the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”
Ladies and gentlemen, the history being written by the profane conduct from the Women’s March is too horrifying to contemplate. I ask you: what are we going to do about it?

The Hollywood elite attacking Trump get put in their place by Benghazi survivor

The Hollywood elite attacking Trump get put in their place by Benghazi survivor
No one has been more vocal about their disapproval for President-elect Donald Trump than those in Hollywood’s elite circles. It would seem that every other week, another video comes out with actors and actresses attempting to either trip up Trump’s journey to the oval office, or just expressing their dismay through song and dance.
All the while, being called courageous for their actions.
But with all that glamorous commotion being made, Justin Charters of Independent Journal Review decided to reach out to someone who has had to practice the actual act of courage. And so he spoke to Benghazi survivor and former Army Ranger, Kris Paronto, who was portrayed in the movie 13 Hours.
Paronto made sure to give credit where it was due, such as people like John Krasinski and Pablo Schriver who portrayed he and his compatriots in the movie about him, but pulled no punches when addressing some of these elite who live in that Hollywood bubble.
“But then you have these other celebrities,” said Paronto,” and you know what, you’re a monkey and somebody is turning the crank. You’re here to entertain us. When you’re gone, we don’t give a sh*t, we will find another monkey to do the job you were doing.”
“They’re not role models. There’s nothing courageous about sitting in your five million dollar mansion and looking down upon us. It’s arrogant, it’s pompous, and it’s not bravery,” he added.
Paronto then called these celebrities who are considered brave out for just putting on costumes and pretending to be brave, while not actually putting themselves into the situations where actual bravery would be required.
“They’re all actors pretending to be someone else. Just because you played a police officer or military veteran, doesn’t mean you understand what it’s like to be in our shoes.
So you know what, Meryl Streep, stop putting others down and go do something else. Be like Pat Tillman, drop everything you’re doing and put your life on the line. Robert De Niro, you played a cop in the movies, go be a cop on the streets.
The same principle applies to these other celebrities. You wore a uniform as a costume. Try putting one on to serve your country.”
As Paronto noted, not every celebrity is worthy of ire. Actresses like Nicole Kidman, actors like Scott Baio, and musicians such as Gene Simmons have all stood up to say that it’s time to end the overreaction from Hollywood.

In Trump Nation, healing is overrated

At inauguration time, magnanimity usually prevails. Winners reach out to losers and a brief honeymoon ensues. But many Trump supporters say there’s little this president-elect can, should, or probably will do to mollify Hillary Clinton supporters.
Erwin Jackson, a Tallahassee, Fla., landlord, says political healing is overrated anyway: “I’m not worried about people who are disappointed. I’m excited. The Democrats are in denial. Healing is something they’re gonna have to work out on their own.’’
Pat Acciavatti, a retired excavating company owner in St. Clair Township, Mich., agrees: “When Obama won, and when Bill Clinton won, I just shut up, hung my head and took my medicine. I wasn’t protesting in the street.’’
Although Trump inherits a more divided country than any recent predecessor, he seems less interested than any in making nice. And that’s OK with Trump Nation, which generally believes there are only two remedies to the post-election divide.
One is time. “It heals all wounds,’’ says Barry Fixler, a Bardonia, N.Y., jewelry store owner who opened his own local Trump headquarters last year. But, he predicts, “it’ll take the Democrats years to come around.’’
The other is for Trump to do what he said he’ll do — like bring back jobs, secure the Southern border and generally make America great again.
“That’s going to promote more positive interactions between the two camps,’’ says Rachel Quade, a real estate agent and Republican activist who lives outside Indianapolis. “It’s hard to stay angry when there’s good news.’’
Presidents always come into office with an agenda and a mandate. As Barack Obamafamously told Republican congressional leaders eight years ago, “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.’’
But winning candidates usually make at least a show of bipartisanship.
In 2000, after Al Gore conceded the presidency, George W. Bush made a nationally televised speech from the chamber of the Texas House of Representatives. “Here, in a place where Democrats have the majority, Republicans and Democrats have worked together,’’ he said. “The spirit of cooperation I have seen in this hall is what’s needed in Washington.’’
In 2009, Obama attended a dinner honoring John McCain, the GOP nominee, on the night before the inauguration, and he spoke warmly of McCain at a luncheon after the inauguration.
Since Trump has the lowest approval rating of any recent incoming president, it would seem logical for him to try to mend fences.
At times he has. He spoke graciously of Clinton after she conceded defeat and said “it's time for America to bind the wounds of division.’’ In a Today show interview last month, he promised, “We’re going to have a country that’s very well-healed.’’
But for the most part — especially on Twitter, and unlike any recent president-elect — he’s stayed in campaign mode.
He’s lashed out at Bill Clinton, the cast of HamiltonAlec Baldwin and Saturday Night Liveand Ohio Gov. John Kasich. He’s called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who expressed a willingness to work with him, a “clown.” Since praising Hillary Clinton, he’s regularly dismissed her as weak and clueless.
Some Trump supporters say their leader is really no less bipartisan than any other victorious presidential candidate — especially Obama. Upon taking office, Jackson says, “he went off so far, so fast to the left. He passed Obamacare with no Republican support.’’
Others would just as soon Trump hit Democrats with an olive branch as offer them one. His nine-state, post-election victory tour was marked by cries, familiar from the campaign against Clinton, of “Lock her up!’’
When Trump supporters encounter these political divisions in their own lives, however, they tend to deal with them more sensitively.
But Trump supporters say making up isn’t their man’s style, and wouldn’t work anyway. “If you’re taking on the whole Democratic Party and an entrenched bureaucracy, saying ‘Please,’ probably won’t change things,’’ says Jackson.

The Prayer is applicable today

January 23, 1996
When Pastor Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically-correct generalities, but what they heard instead was a stirring prayer, passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness.
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In six short weeks, the Central Christian Church had logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired the prayer on The Rest of the Story on the radio and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired!
THE PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe on those who call evil good," but that's exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We confess that:
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism.
We have worshiped other gods and called it multi-culturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn children and called it a choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it political savvy.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
