The Wondrous Glory of "Feminism"

THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN ANOTHER THREAD. PER THE REQUEST OF AN ANONYMOUS READER, I'M GIVING THIS TOPIC ITS OWN THREAD. ENJOY!

And they might be interested in a male chauvenistic commissioner, bus driver, preacher who preaches women in the kitchen making biscuits. What a real jerk!!!

I don't know Mr. Harwell, and have very little interest in the bus system. So I really have no dog in this fight. However... I'm really amazed at the "five minute hate" that's been whipped up over his alleged "chauvinism."

If there ever has been a mass movement more out of touch with reality than feminism... I've never heard of it. "Feminists" act as though one of the basic facts of life -- that the most important job a woman can ever do, which can't be "outsourced" to any man, ie, the continuation of the human species -- is some sort of cosmic injustice. Rage against the "patriarchy" all you want, ladies, but it won't change a thing. God made men different from women, and gave each of us a specialty-- procreation and child rearing for women, and "bringing home the bacon" for men.

But of course that wasn't good enough for some women, was it? So they demanded, and got, "equality in the workplace" at the point of the gun weilded by Uncle Sam. And what are the results, after forty odd years of this?

Well, marriage has gone down the drain. The promotion of consequence free "casual sex" has led to massive increases in illegitimacy and venereal diseases. Children that are lucky enough NOT to be slaughtered in the womb, are often raised without male role models, and grow up to be delinquents and criminals. And the size of government has doubled, largely to provide services to "single moms" and deal with their hell-spawn children.

Hey, but at least women in the jobforce have done well financially, right? Um, no. Anyone with even the most rudimentary understanding of real world economics, knows that when you increase the supply of something, you necessarily lower it's worth in dollars...

So, when the women of America got fed up with "making biscuits," and trooped out of the home, and into the workforce, what happened? Simple. By nearly doubling the amount of labor available, they permanently depressed the wage rate for everyone, men and women both. And where once, a man working alone was able to support a family, now it takes both a man AND a woman.

Thanks, feminism! Destroying the traditional family, slaughtering millions and millions of babies for the sake of mere "convenience," and creating a labor glut that impoverishes the middle class... was one HELL of an accomplishment. You've come a long way baby, indeed!

140% Water Rate Increase

At the recent city council work session it became very obvious why a 140% utility rate increase was imposed on the citizens of Pulaski. At the time it was imposed we were told it was necessary in order to pay off the loan for construction. At the time I questioned the amounts as being excessive and far more than necessary to pay off the loan, now it has been made clear that the water increases are being used as the city's cash cow paying for a long wish list of such items as excessive pay increases and unused spec. buildings.

There will be no discount to senior disabled or low income citizens because there is only one person on the city council who has even been interested enough to add up the numbers in an effort to provide such a discount. Mrs Harwell has done all she can but with a lack of support from both citizens and council the possibility is about gone.

The huge water discount is still given the soccer league and the schools but no consideration for those on fixed incomes. The good news is at least one other council member is beginning to find a voice and question the deception taking place. Allen Barrett
