Voters don't want women carted off to war too

With 55% of the voters in the 2004 Presidential election being women, it's no wonder the presidential candidates are catering to women in their bid to win in 2008. Yet one thing women fear the most is that they will have to one day be drafted along with men.

Feminists believe that women should be on the front lines with men. Most women are not feminists, and they do not want to be on the front lines. And most men concur, and that is why women are currently not allowed on the front lines in battle.

No one is implying that women could not do just as well as men in battle, but it is scary the thought that not only our sons and husbands may be carted off to war some day, but our WIVES and MOTHERS too.

I talked with a couple women last night, one liberal and one conservative mom, and they both agreed that the feminists are ruining it for women in the U.S. Because of a few women who want women and men to be equal on all fronts, all women might some day have to suffer through wars.

Which brings me to the current presidential bid to cater to women. Well, it's obvious that Palin was an obvious bid by McCain to cater to the female crowd, yet Obama still has a slight edge in this area.

But, while both McCain and Obama have said they do not want to resort to a draft, Obama has said that women should be forced to register with selective service. This is a list of people who would be able to go to war should an emergency draft be necessary.

I think the idea of selective service is a good idea, and I think it's fine that women be allowed to enter the military, but let's not slip to the level that women HAVE to go to war. Perhaps I'm old school, but I don't want to see my daughter some day carted off to war -- let alone my young and beautiful wife.

What scares me the most is that while the U.S. military is feminized, this is not happening in many thug nations. Many of these Islamic and Muslim nations are run by thug men who do not respect other religions, let alone women. So my worse fears can be imagined.

I do not mean to be disrespectful here, but while women are equal to men mentally (and may even be superior to us men mentally), their bodies are not the physical equal of men. This is not a new revelation either, and is why men have historically fought the battles on the field.

Obama is catering to the feminists here. Feminism is not popular, particularly among women. Likewise, no man wants his daughter and wife carted off to war.

He, by opening the idea of women registering for selective service, may be hurting his own campaign at the expense of catering to the liberal feminists. While he may lose female voters, he may lose their dads, husbands and sons too.

Here is an excelent post from WorldMag.com that agrees with me.

SNAGs on the rise, we may be doomed

In my last post I wrote about being bored. In this post, I write about what happens to men when they take boredom too far. When you they have nothing better to do, they start to worry about things they never would have worried about before.

You know the type, because you read their works all the time in the newspapers, or read about what they have to say in the tabloids, or watch them as they give interviews on TV. They are the girly men that are now referred to as SNAGs.

That is: Sensitive New Age Geeks. I knew about them, but never heard about this term until I read, "Crazies to the left of me, and wimps to the right," by Bernard Goldberg.

Rush Limbaugh refers to these guys as girly men. He refers to it as the "femanisation of America." Where instead of using your manliness and commonsense you start making decisions based on your feelings. And you start to worry about things that men don't worry about.

I'm not being anti-woman here, I'm just stating an observation.

Here are some examples of what a SNAG might think, according to Goldberg:

• "that we're too mean to terrorists and lock them up in bad places"


• "despite tons of evidence to the contrary, we still live in a racist country"


• I'm worried about global warming, that sometime soon the world's going to end if we don't do something soon, that the glaciers are going to melt

He didn't make up this name SNAG, but it's just funny to me. These are guys, "girly men" who worry about things instead of being like normal guys.

He writes: "Real men say, 'kill every last one of those bastard terrorists, and I don't care how you do it.' Real Men vote for Republicans."

Real men want to go into another country and kick ass, while SNAGS worry about the feelings of all the innocent people who will be killed.

Obviously, we need to take care of the planet, but we definitely shouldn't stress that it's going to blow up in three years. What fun would we have if we did worry about it? How boring would our lives be?

And if we worried about the feelings of the people that are trying to kill us, then we're doomed. That's just my opinion anyway.
