Here is a horrific, new column that the Indy Star will be running regularly from now on. It is called "Chicks on the Right". Just started running today. These two women have a radio show on our local right-wing hate radio station WIBC and now it appears that the Gannett owned Indy Star wants some of the action. This appears to be laying the ground work for GOP messaging to women for the next election. The column is simply a low-brow, repulsive attack on liberal women.
***********************************************************
The word feminist has been hijacked by liberals, and were taking it back.
You see, we ARE feminists.
We were raised as latchkey kids in conservative households by working parents, and we werent coddled. Our parents taught us the meaning of independence, instilling in us a strong work ethic, and expecting us to work and earn money at a young age. They taught us that actions have consequences, and they taught us about personal responsibility. We knew that when we grew up, wed need to make our own way in the world and not rely on anyone but ourselves.
Were sick of liberal feminists who screech WAR ON WOMEN! the second theyre faced with challenges or with having to pay for their own birth control. Its laughable when they depend on a cradle-to-grave government to take care of their every want (like guilt-free abortions and taxpayer-funded contraception), and then dress up in vagina costumes on Capitol Hill hollering for the government to keep its hands off their lady parts.
They cant have it both ways.
They either need to own up to needing a Sugar Daddy (whether he is in the form of a mate or a taxpayer) or woman-up and take care of themselves. Liberal feminists are proving what conservative feminists like us have known forever: Theyre not feminists at all. Theyre parasites.

(8,361 posts)glad you women are happy with your subjugation by old white men. Most people today (including many white men) are not ok with the way women are treated by Republicans and the religions of this world and are about progress. You know. Like every other positive social change that happened in this country. Done by progressives. Not by conservatives.

(341 posts)knew they had to get a gig early on because latching on to a conservative man was risky business, yet they call it an unexpected challenge. No, ladies, you do not have this. You can't even handle writing about your husband's love for you.
Seriously, why do these women breed with such selfish clods.
