Democratic Womyn: Not So Nice, Not So Truthful

Two Democratic womyn have made headlines recently and no, they haven't much been truthful or nice. Yes, I know, here comes the sound of cheeks being slapped. Shut up!

Barbara Boxer: Role Reversal?

For whatever reason, Fornicalia Senator Barbara Boxer decided it was time to unload on Condi Rice yesterday when the Secretary of State spoke in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in support of President Bush's strategic change in Iraq with regard to the addition of troops.

According to the New York Post, Boxer barked:

"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price," Boxer said. "My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young."

Then, to Rice: "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families."

Slap. Right cross. Uppercut.

(As an aside: this is the same military staffed, according to Charlie Rangel, only by po' black folk and other minorities with higher melanin counts -- not. See this report from the Heritage Foundation.)

Here's what happened: Barbara Boxer essentially said that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is an ineffective leader and cannot make appropriate, lawful, logical and cogent decisions regarding the war in Iraq because she has no children to sacrifice to this war.

Let's stand back and examine this, on its face.

First: the prior Democratic administration, that of William Jefferson Clinton, he of the most ethical presidential administration in history (he said it), did not find it within himself to appoint a black Secretary Of State. Nor a black female SOS. Nor a black unmarried female who has chosen career over child-rearing.

And, am I wrong in thinking that the Democrats are the party of not only tolerance but that of diversity on all levels? How much more diverse is Condi Rice? Black? Female? Career woman?

But you see, in truth, as the Democrats have clearly revealed here, it's not about tolerance or diversity. It's about agenda.

Besides, as Barbara Boxer has so wonderfully explained with her insulting and ridiculous comments here, she considers Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice nothing more than Bush's House Nigger and, as the BHN, subject to any inane blathering or series of insults she wishes to heap upon Secretary Rice, the quintessential political professional, so much so that many openly advocate her running for President in 2008.

Rice, of course, made good account of herself in response:

I guess that means I don't have kids. Was that the purpose of that?" Rice said. "Well, at the time I just found it a bit confusing frankly. But in retrospect, gee, I thought single women had come further than that. That the only question is are you making good decisions because you have kids?"

I like to put the shoe on the other foot, so I ask: did this little act make anyone's MSM page 1? Anywhere? Takers? Links? Proof? I thought not. The DEM (Defeatist, Elitist Media) have buried this little gem back a few pages near the produce ads for Piggly Wiggly.

But what, Boys and Girls, do you think would have happened had a GOP'er made a similar comment to a black, female, career DEMOCRAT? Or if that commenter had been, even worse, a male and (Heaven forbid!) Caucasian?

Boxer, you're an idiot.

Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi: A Fishy Minimum Wage?

On Wednesday, January 10th, the House voted to raise the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour. That's an issue for another post entirely. Absent that, the bill also brings, for the first time ever, a minimum wage to the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. However, it exempts American Samoa, another Pacific island territory numerous miles to the southeast, that would become the only US territory not subject to federal minimum-wage laws.



But wait: why would that be?

Could it be because Del Monte Corporation, which owns StarKist Tuna, has its global headquarters in San Francisco which -- ta-da!! -- is represented by Speaker Nancy Pelosi?

But wait; there's more: one of the largest opponents of the federal minimum wage in Samoa is StarKist Tuna, which owns one of the two packing plants that together employ more than 5,000 Samoans, or nearly 75 percent of the island's entire work force.

The Democrats were all about how theirs would be the flowering Dawn of a New Era. Again: not. And now that they've come into majority theirs, so ridiculously soon, is nothing more than hypocrisy abetted by the DEM.

Insults, coverups and lies from the Dems' sterling womyn -- and it's only the first month.
