The war against women is never over…

When they marched for the women’s right to vote 100 years ago, they were imprisoned, put into straight jackets and force fed until they vomited blood. They fought for your right to own property, to have access to birth control and your right to an education. This video is fun and clever and hits on some hard truths. And it makes you ask yourself…what I am willing to do today to fight back and protect our rights as women and citizens?

“Cynatnite”, a prodigious poster (28,072 posts) at the Democrat Underground website, is right:  The war against women is not over.

People like “Cynatnite” promote racist, classist and sexist gun control schemes.  People like her want to take the right to keep and bear arms away from law-abiding men and women in America.   Yes, she wants to take away the ability for women today to own the greatest equalizer ever invented.

What happens when civilian good guys no longer have guns?

Mankind has lived in such a time.  It was called the “Medieval Times”.  I don’t imagine many people today want to return to that time where the common man was debarred from ownership of weapons.

What happened in that time?   Was there equality between men and women?  Hardly.  Men were men and women were property.  The strong dominated the week.  Young, healthy males at the peak of their physical strength imposed tyranny upon the weak, the very young, the old, and the disabled.

Does that sound like a nice place to live and raise your daughters and your family?

It’s not a place I want to live with my family.

Why are gun control advocates such control freaks?

Here’s the post written by “Cynatnite” over at Democratic Underground, a story of how she was scared to the point of near physical collapse at the sight of a holstered handgun on the side of an otherwise non-threatening person.

Rattled and shaken after seeing open carry in a grocery store

(DUh) – It’s been a long time since I’ve been to DU, but I needed a place to talk about something that happened tonight when I was getting a few items to finish out our Christmas dinner.

My area recently got a new Walmart Neighborhood Market. I know many here aren’t fans of Walmart as a whole for understandable reasons. I remained a shopper nonetheless.

That all changed as of a few minutes ago.

While I was shopping I passed by a gentleman in the store and happened to glance down. He had a handgun strapped to his belt. He was not a police officer. I know what those holsters look like and this had elastic bands. Not only that, the man was extremely overweight and he wasn’t wearing anything to signify he was any part of law enforcement.

The further I got from him, the more upset I got. I brought my grandchildren to the store. I spoke with a young woman who said she was a manager. She shrugged off my concerns as if it was nothing. I decided to not finish the shopping and went to check out. The cashier saw how upset I was and I told her about it. She wanted to know what the man looked like because it upset her as well. As I was leaving, she spoke to another person who looked more like a manager than the young woman from before.

I got to my car and I was pretty near crying. I came home and called corporate about this only to find out they have practically zero policy when it comes to open carry. I was still pretty upset on the phone with the woman I spoke with. She said she was sending my concerns up to the higher ups which I doubt will do any good.

We’re in the South and have been here for a while now. As conservative, rebel flag waving and Obama hating as they get around here, I’ve never seen anyone blatantly open carry like this before. My sister is like that and she has enough common sense not to do something like this.

I’m an Army veteran. I’ve been around guns for much of my life. My husband is a hunter. We have a hunting rifle in the house. I’m not a woman that rattles easy, but this shook me to my core and I’m still quite upset.

All I can think of is my grandchildren and all the shootings that are now so common. I just can’t bring myself to take my grandchildren to any Walmart store knowing they allow this.

Anyway, I’ve been gone quite a while and I could use some hand-holding or something right now. This shook me more than I ever imagined it would.

Thanks

28,070 posts since she joined in 2004.

Assuming five minutes were spent crafting each post (and the one above obviously took MUCH more than five minutes to create), that’s 292 days, at eight hours a day, she has spent crafting literary turdlets like the one above for others to read.  That’s a year and several months of 40-hour work weeks.

I don’t know how she finds time to go to her local Walmart Neighborhood Market.
