Hysterical Women For Kerry

Rosie the Riveter has given way to
Sally the Sniveler.

During World War II, young

Rose Will Monroe was the face of American
women in adversity: strong, supportive, and resolute
against the enemy forces that threatened our existence.

Tens of thousands like Rosie rolled up their
sleeves, gritted their teeth, and

flexed their muscles in factories and
shipyards and

arsenals across the country.

They made

rockets and rifles and bombs and boats. They painted
and drilled and welded. When they got home to their
kids, they cooked and cleaned and collapsed in bed after
praying for their husbands and brothers and uncles on
the battlefield.

Rosie and her sisters in arms didn`t have the luxury
of complaining about their lack of

"me time." There was a war to be won. And so,
as this presidential campaign season has constantly
reminded us, there is today.

But Rosie is gone. And in her
place, we have Hysterical Women for Kerry. They are
self-absorbed celebrities who support banning all guns
(except the ones their

bodyguards use to protect them and their children).
They are

teachers` union bigwigs who support keeping

all children hostage in public schools (except their

own sons and daughters who have

access to the best

private institutions). They are sanctimonious
environmentalists who
oppose ostentatious energy consumption (except for
their air-conditioned

Malibu mansions and Gulfstream Jets and custom
Escalades.)

They are antiwar activists who
claim to love the troops (except when they`re
apologizing to the terrorists trying to kill our men and
women in uniform). They are peace activists who balk at
your son bringing in his

Star Wars light saber for the kindergarten Halloween
parade (but who have

no problem serving as

human shields for torture-loving dictators). They
are ultrafeminists who purport to speak for all women
(but not the

unborn ones or the

abstinent teenage ones or the

minority conservative ones or the newly enfranchised
ones in Afghanistan).

In battleground states, the Kerry
campaign has dispatched such incoherent nervous nellies
to scare the pantyhose of off young women and moms.

Kerry`s sister, Peggy, landed in
Ohio at a Women for Kerry rally to

scare up female votes to oppose President Bush`s
"war against women." At a time when Islamofascists
are chopping off heads and

kidnapping aid workers and plotting to

kill schoolchildren, and at a time when

untold numbers of malefactors are

crossing into our borders, Peggy Kerry chose to
whine about the alleged gender gap in white-collar
salaries.  "That is not fair," she said. "Let
me tell you what my brother is going to fight for—pay
equity."

Meanwhile, a teacher for Kerry
complained: "If we lose the White House again, it is
very possible we will lose public education." In
Michigan, actress/legal observer

Christine Lahti rallied Kerry women by

warning: "Listen up. If (Bush) is re-elected, he
will appoint a (Justice) Clarence Thomas clone and
reverse Roe versus Wade." The Kerry campaign has
also sent actress Sharon Stone—who recently

blamed President Bush for preventing her from
kissing fellow actress

Halle Berry in the awful movie

Catwoman— to drum up

female votes in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

But if Hollywood had to crown a
poster girl for the new Sally the Sniveler campaign, it
would be Cameron Diaz. Rosie the Riveter delivered a
unifying message to her fellow American women with
simple, rousing clarity:

"We can do it!" In stark contrast, here`s a
painful partial transcript of Diaz`s

vote-beseeching appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show
last month:

Diaz:
"We have a voice now, and we`re not using it, and women
have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to
our bodies. We could lo—if you think that rape should be
legal, then don`t vote. But if you think that you have a
right to your body, and you have a right to say what
happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that,
then you should vote, and those are the…

Winfrey: "It`s your voice."

Diaz:
"It`s your voice. It`s your voice, that`s your right."

We`ve come a long way, baby. The
wrong way. Get a grip, girls. You are an embarrassment
to a nation at war.
