Erin Pizzey is a genial woman with snow-white hair, cherubic cheeks, and an easy smile. It wasn’t always that way. The daughter of an English diplomat, she founded the world’s first shelter for battered women in 1971. To her surprise, she discovered that most of the women in her shelter were as violent as the [...]
Supreme Court opinions are words for the generations that can affect the lives and welfare of millions. No one doubts that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has a compelling life story. But more to the point, we need to inquire about her aptitude to draft thoughtfully-reasoned, well-crafted legal opinions.
On this count, there is reason for [...]
Can you imagine a Mother’s Day ad urging the purchase of a vacuum cleaner for Workaholic Moms? Or a greeting card that depicts mom grinning contentedly over a hot stove?
These slightly irreverent images came to mind as I surveyed the advertisements for Father’s Day this year.
Go to Amazon.com, for example, where you’ll see a [...]
“Sentence first, verdict afterwards!” Remember that memorable line from Lewis Carroll’s classic, Through the Looking Glass? And if we take a recent Department of Justice report to heart, we will soon be marching to the tune of “Accusation first, incarceration next!”
Adding to the absurdity, the DoJ report was written not by a recognized university researcher, [...]
In the minds of many, evil is epitomized by Nazi Germany. An embittered Austrian corporal, a racist ideology, and an amoral eugenics movement all came together at the same point in human history, eventually spelling the deaths of six million Jews and others.
Others view Communism as the far greater evil, a godless philosophy that eventually [...]
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life. Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences,…our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”
That sexist [...]
Does this remark make you want to head for the hills?
“I would hope that a wise Caucasian man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach better conclusion than a Latina woman who hasn’t lived that life.”
A male faculty member who made such a claim would be laughed off of any [...]
There is a group of activists among us who have found the perfect way to advance their statist, anti-family agenda. They ply their issue by relying on a devious mixture of exaggerations, half-truths, and bald-faced lies.
I’m referring, of course, to the domestic violence industry. DV operatives make bogus claims designed to garner ever-expanding federal [...]
Imagine a world where ideology takes the place of truth and laws are rooted in dubious factoids from nowhere. That pretty much sums up the fact-challenged, hysteria-mongering domestic violence industry that is propped up by $1 billion of federal money each year.
Industry ideologues are loathe to admit the fact, but they truly believe the cause [...]
One of the greatest failings of the Great Society programs of the 1960s was the devastating blow they dealt to low-income African-American families. And it’s no secret how all this happened.
Thanks to President Johnson’s signature legislation, newly-minted social welfare programs provided an array of services and benefits that were designed to help single moms. [...]
I’m writing this column because I’m appalled how liberals remain impervious to the fact that our current strategy to controlling AIDS has proven to be a disastrous failure.
Last month the District of Columbia health department announced that 3% of the city’s population is infected with HIV, putting the nation’s capital on a par with parts [...]
Debi Olson had three restraining orders taken out against her. But that didn’t stop the woman from ambushing ex-husband Mauricio Droguett in an Iowa shopping mall last July, fatally stabbing him in front of shocked mall-goers.
Toni Brown of Washington, DC was shot by former girlfriend Raina Johnson on August 12, 2008, leaving the woman paralyzed [...]
Good morning fellow progressives, social revolutionaries, and Weathermen wannabees. In today’s class I’ll explain how to bewilder the conservatives, stymie their agenda, and abscond with billions in taxpayer money. Some conservatives will become so befuddled that they will even come to embrace your cause.
It’s so simple, you might not believe me. All you need to [...]
The scene is reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz scene when hordes of winged monkeys are poised on the castle parapet, ready to snatch up Dorothy and her three affable sidekicks. But this time it’s not a harmless fairytale, it’s a cabal of feminists determined to turn our society into a socialist paradise.
These women [...]
The Maidens of Mendacity are at it again, only this time they?re speaking from the bully pulpit that President Obama himself established. A couple weeks ago President Obama established the White House Council on Women and Girls. During the March 11 ceremony, Obama explained, ?It?s not enough to only have individual women?s offices at different [...]
Liberals never tire of convincing persons to believe they are victims in dire need of a government hand-out. But this time it?s a case of outright mendacity aided by the concealment of a high-level government official.
During the Democratic primaries, Hillary Clinton repeatedly made the claim that women suffer from pay discrimination. Barack Obama?s website likewise [...]
This is Women’s History Month. So put down the party favors for a moment as I recount how the First Family is celebrating this festive occasion, an event that is poised to surpass even Kwanzaa in its historical and cultural significance.
Last Tuesday Michelle limoed over to the Women in Military Service memorial. As you know, [...]
Bethany House of Northern Virginia is an abuse shelter that provides “warmth and shelter” to persons suffering from domestic violence — at least that’s what the group claims. But now a former shelter worker, client, husband, and a sitting judge have all come forward to reveal a sordid tale of unethical and illegal conduct.
The first [...]
The Violence Against Women Act underwrites Green Card lottery schemes, lures foreign women into prostitution, and tars innocent American men as abusers – all at taxpayer expense. Here’s how it works.
Green Card Girls – women who inveigle unsuspecting single men to bring them to the United States — are a well-known fixture in the international [...]
Last Thursday Good Morning America host Robin Roberts ran a piece titled, Should Women be in Charge? Remarking on the Congressional hearings of three-piece-suited Wall Street bankers, Roberts offered the astute observation, “they’re all men.”
Wagging her editorial finger with disgust, the ABC co-host rued all the “Greed and glory and then risk and disaster on [...]
In hard economic times, you have to be on the constant look-out for lucrative opportunities. So have you checked into the domestic violence industry?
This $4 billion-a-year industry has unlimited upside potential thanks to its irresistible message: “Help us protect the victims of battering and abuse.” Domestic violence entrepreneurs have proved to be adept at [...]
Representatives Lucille Roybal-Allard of California and Ted Poe of Texas have recently introduced their own version of the economic stimulus plan. The money will go straight into the pockets of working Americans, and it won’t cost taxpayers a dime.
Want to hear more?
Frustrated over the endless haggling over the stimulus package, Roybal-Allard and Poe decided [...]
As lawmakers tediously debate the economic stimulus plan, Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard of California is pushing for change that we can really believe in. It’s called the Security and Financial Empowerment Act – SAFE for short – a bill that she and Rep. Ted Poe of Texas introduced in the Congress this past week.
The concept is [...]
“It was really terrible what I went through.” These were the first words that Yvonne Scott blurted out, even though the incident happened more than five years ago.
One morning a social worker and policeman showed up on the woman’s doorstep. “Either you come with us to the abuse shelter or we take away your [...]
It’s that time of the year — Christmas carols, shiny-wrapped presents, surprise visits by long-lost in-laws. And of course, our announcement of the annual Award for Political Incorrectness.
Previous winners of this highly-sought after prize include California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who took up the dicey issue of paternity fraud; columnist Phyllis Schlafly (“Shame on members of [...]
Hello, Steve –
Remember Whack-a-Mole? The theme park game that features insouciant plastic rodents popping out of the hole – Whack! Here comes another one – WHACK!
That’s the image that comes to mind as I ponder Hillary Clinton’s controversial career: Staunch defender of a wayward Commander-in-Chief. Achievement-free senator from New York. Once-inevitable presidential candidate.
And just when [...]
The domestic violence industry has a habit of attracting unsavory characters into its ranks. And now three former operatives are doing hard time.
Take Barbara Dehl of Nampa, Idaho. Ten years ago Dehl single-handedly lobbied for passage of Cassie’s Law, a bill aimed at stopping dating violence. That achievement landed her on the Montel Williams Show, [...]
Dogged by weeks of protest, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit finally took down the controversial advertisements from its buses this past weekend. Purchased by a local abuse shelter, the ads featured a young schoolgirl who blithely predicted, “One day my husband will kill me.”
Journalist Helen Smith denounced the ads as “Very disturbing hate speech against [...]
The Family Place, an abuse shelter in Dallas, recently placed race-baiting advertisements on local buses. The ads depict a smiling African-American girl crowned with a tiara who innocently predicts, “One day my husband will kill me.”
Barbara Kay of the National Post charged the ads were “outright lies.” Dallas Morning News columnist James Ragland labeled [...]
Bob Hartzog of Glendale, Ariz. was roused out of his slumber by a ringing phone. It was the cops. According to the policeman, Hartzog’s wife Valentina charged he had forced her to have sex and threatened to kill her. The officer, stationed outside of Hartzog’s home, ordered him outside.
Opening his front door, Hartzog found himself [...]
