“The triumph of feminism” – The Economist

[EXPLETIVE, REMOVED BY WRITER]
You need to shut your mouth Obamabot. Your candidate is nothing but a sexist pig who likes to flip of women and refer to them as bitches.

Can we see some evidence of this change please?

Been to Grove Parc lately? Google is your friend, try it out–but you may get kicked out of your new church.

And dear freedom fighter, what is Obama?
If not an empty suit that will use and discard anybody and everybody to advance his personal ambitions.
Who linked up to an unrepentant terrorist?
Who had a Chicago machine bag man help him out with a house he couldn’t afford rather than wit until he had the money or found a less expensive house in a less toni part of Chi-town?
Who sat in a pew listening to the vile spews of an unhinged racist because it gave him creds in the black community?

America Has Spoken?? Damn. I told my wife not to let me sleep through the election. Who won??

Please list EXAMPLES of how Obama has CHANGED things for the constituents he has been elected to serve throughout his career.

Waiting…..

Go play in front of Obama’s Unity Bus…while its moving.

“Hillary the feminist? When did she become a feminist? She isn’t about advancing women’s causes, she is all about advancing herself,”

Hey useless dumbfuck,

Here’s the wiki article on Hillary which is heavily sourced. Be sure to chase down the sources (click on them dumbass), if you’re skeptical. Wikipedia is hardly scholarly, but many of the linked sources are often legit.

Obama doesn’t have any where close to even 1/10 of Hillary’s legal and activist credentials. Even in his own self-glorifying memoirs, he explicitly admits he accomplished VERY little as a “community activist”. His legal exploits at Harvard Law School is unknown (i.e. totally exaggerated), and his post Harvard Law career is a GIANT JOKE. He’s never argued a single case, he’s never published a single article, much less one that is considered seminal. With respect to legal and scholarly work, he is so utterly unaccomplished for a former Harvard Student Law Journal editor.

Law school

Rodham then entered Yale Law School, where she served on the editorial board of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action.[35] During her second year, she worked at the Yale Child Study Center,[36] learning about new research on early childhood brain development and working as a research assistant on the seminal work, Beyond the Best Interests of the Child (1973).[37][38] She also took on cases of child abuse at Yale-New Haven Hospital,[37] and volunteered at New Haven Legal Services to provide free legal advice for the poor.[36] In the summer of 1970, she was awarded a grant to work at Marian Wright Edelman’s Washington Research Project, where she was assigned to Senator Walter Mondale’s Subcommittee on Migratory Labor. There she researched migrant workers’ problems in housing, sanitation, health and education.[39] Edelman later became a significant mentor.[40]

In the late spring of 1971, she began dating Bill Clinton, also a law student at Yale. That summer, she interned at the Oakland, California, law firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein.[41] The firm was well-known for its support of constitutional rights, civil liberties, and radical causes (two of its four partners were current or former Communist Party members);[41] Rodham worked on child custody and other cases.[42] Clinton canceled his original summer plans, in order to live with her in California;[43] the couple continued living together in New Haven when they returned to law school.[42] The following summer, Rodham and Clinton campaigned in Texas for unsuccessful 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern.[44] She received a Juris Doctor degree from Yale in 1973,[27] having stayed on an extra year in order to be with Clinton.[45] Clinton first proposed marriage to her following graduation, but she declined.[45] She began a year of post-graduate study on children and medicine at the Yale Child Study Center.[46] Her first scholarly article, “Children Under the Law “, was published in the Harvard Educational Review in late 1973.[47] Discussing the new children’s rights movement, it stated that “child citizens” were “powerless individuals”[48] and argued that children should not be considered equally incompetent from birth to attaining legal age, but that rather courts should presume competence except when there is evidence otherwise, on a case-by-case basis.[49] The article became frequently cited in the field. [50]

From the East Coast to Arkansas

During her post-graduate study, Rodham served as staff attorney for Edelman’s newly founded Children’s Defense Fund in Cambridge, Massachusetts,[51] and as a consultant to the Carnegie Council on Children.[52] During 1974 she was a member of the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal.[53] Under the guidance of Chief Counsel John Doar and senior member Bernard Nussbaum,[37] Rodham helped research procedures of impeachment and the historical grounds and standards for impeachment.[54] The committee’s work culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon in August 1974.[54]

In August 1974, she moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas, and became one of only two female faculty members in the School of Law at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville,[60] where Bill Clinton also taught. She still harbored doubts about marriage, concerned that her separate identity would be lost and that her accomplishments would be viewed in the light of someone else’s.

Early Arkansas years

… in February 1977, Rodham joined the venerable Rose Law Firm, a bastion of Arkansan political and economic influence.[66] She specialized in patent infringement and intellectual property law,[35] while also working pro bono in child advocacy;

Rodham maintained her interest in children’s law and family policy, publishing the scholarly articles “Children’s Policies: Abandonment and Neglect” in 1977[69] and “Children’s Rights: A Legal Perspective” in 1979.[70] The latter continued her argument that children’s legal competence depended upon their age and other circumstances, and that serious medical rights cases, judicial intervention was sometimes warranted.[49] An American Bar Association chair later said, “Her articles were important, not because they were radically new but because they helped formulate something that had been inchoate.”[49] Historian Garry Wills would later describe her as “one of the more important scholar-activists of the last two decades”,[71] while conservatives said her theories would usurp traditional parental authority,[72] allow children to file frivolous lawsuits against their parents,[49] and argued that her work was legal “crit” theory run amok.[73]

Also in 1977, Rodham co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, a state-level alliance with the Children’s Defense Fund.[35][74] And later that same year, President Jimmy Carter (for whom Rodham had done 1976 campaign coordination work in Indiana[75]) appointed her to the board of directors of the Legal Services Corporation,[76] and she served in that capacity from 1978 until the end of 1981.[77] From mid-1978 to mid-1980[78] she served as the chair of that board, the first woman to do so.[79] During her time as chair, funding for the Corporation was expanded from $90 million to $300 million; subsequently she successfully fought President Ronald Reagan’s attempts to reduce the funding and change the nature of the organization.[67]

Following her husband’s November 1978 election as Governor of Arkansas, Rodham became First Lady of Arkansas in January 1979, her title for a total of twelve years (1979–1981, 1983–1992). Clinton appointed her chair of the Rural Health Advisory Committee the same year,[80] where she successfully secured federal funds to expand medical facilities in Arkansas’s poorest areas without affecting doctors’ fees.[81]

Later Arkansas years

As First Lady of Arkansas, Hillary Clinton was named chair of the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee in 1983, where she sought to reform the state’s court-sanctioned public education system.[88][89] In one of the Clinton governorship’s most important initiatives, she fought a prolonged but ultimately successful battle against the Arkansas Education Association, to establish mandatory teacher testing as well as state standards for curriculum and classroom size.[88][80] In 1985, she also introduced Arkansas’s Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youth, a program that helps parents work with their children in preschool preparedness and literacy.[90] She was named Arkansas Woman of the Year in 1983 and Arkansas Mother of the Year in 1984.[91][92]

From 1982 to 1988, Clinton was on board of directors, sometimes as chair, of the New World Foundation,[96] which funded a variety of New Left interest groups.[97] From 1987 to 1991, she chaired the American Bar Association’s Commission on Women in the Profession,[98] which addressed gender bias in the law profession and induced the association to adopt measures to combat it.[98] She was twice named by the National Law Journal as one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America: in 1988 and in 1991.[99] When Bill Clinton thought about not running again for governor in 1990, Hillary considered running herself, but private polls were unfavorable and in the end he ran and was reelected for the final time.[100]

Clinton served on the boards of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Legal Services (1988–1992)[101] and the Children’s Defense Fund (as chair, 1986–1992).

Barack isn’t using his career to promote change, he’s using change to promote his career.

Heh. Even her slogans are better than Barack’s — unlike his, they happen to be true.

Here jackass. This is Hillary YESTERDAY. Learn something:

Freedom Fighter,

I heard about your 50C raise since Palin’s nomination and congratulate you and your Anorexic Sexist Piggie Obambi on a wonderfully ineffective job of letting us see the disgusting Misogyny of the Obamabotic Campaign that has treated HIllary Clinton like dirt to be scraped off Cool Rapper Obama’s shoes and Sarah Palin disrespectfully as well! When are you OBAMBI’S ANOREXIC SEXIST TROLL-PIGGIES ever gonna learn: You’re are Zilch, you are crap and no one pays attention to you, your imbecilic impecunious dunderheads! GROW UP, JUVENILES, GROW UP…and TELL OBAMBI TO LAY OFF SARAH AND HILLARY!

Right. If feminism means having it all, Sarah Palin is definitely the poster child.

We have not yet gotten to the day where a mediocre woman can get as far as Obama did this year. But Palin is some progress.

Maybe so, but last month is still good enough to lead the cranky POW and the tundra bumpkin.

Their motive is to undermine the success of the Iraqis and deal another blow to the United States. These people are traitors.

Interesting story fluffy bunny. Here’s another unfortunate example of party over country involving…you know who. Check out who the sponsor and co-sponsor of the original bill were. I will include the link to the original blog post at the bottom. If you can see your way clear to accept an opinion from Redstate, it’s a very important story.

Reid Blocks Online Predator Bill to Help Obama
Is Oprah Winfrey Being Duped?

Posted by: Brian Faughnan

This Congress hasn’t accomplished all that much, so you’d think they’d be eager to pass a no-brainer such as bipartisan legislation to protect kids from online predators. You’d be wrong.

Last December, the House passed the Securing Adolescents from Exploitation Online Act by a resounding margin of 409-2. The bipartisan bill expands reporting requirements for child sex exploitation and child pornography, requires providers to disclose the identity of anyone who appears to have violated child pornography laws, directs the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to report child pornography violations to law enforcement, and grants service providers and NCMEC limited immunity from civil and criminal liability for reporting information.

When the bill passed by such a huge margin, it seemed that Senate action was sure to follow soon. But one thing went wrong: John McCain won the Republican presidential nomination. And since he was the sponsor of the Senate version of the bill, the measure was suddenly dead. It didn’t even matter that McCain’s bill was cosponsored by HIllary Clinton and Chuck Schumer; it could not pass.

Fortunately, another good bill was also introduced, addressing some of the same issues. That bill — S. 1738 — creates a National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction, as well as a National Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program, and a National Internet Crimes Against Children Data System. It simplifies prosecution of child pornography cases, and increases funding for this effort. The bill is sponsored by Joe Biden. One of the cosponsors is Barack Obama. And wouldn’t you know it — Harry Reid is planning to hold a vote on this bill.

Senator Tom Coburn tried to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. He introduced a third bill that essentially combines the other two. Senate Democrats have blocked the bill from coming to a vote — twice. It seems that only Senator Biden’s bill will see action before the election.

And what about the reforms in the McCain/Schumer/Clinton bill — to find and identify those who spread child pornography? Maybe they’ll get enacted somewhere down the line — once Senator McCain can’t take advantage of his bipartisan work on the issue.

A sidenote: Oprah Winfrey is a party to this — although it’s unclear whether she’s been duped. She devoted her show on Monday to pushing for action on the Biden bill. Perhaps once she gets up to speed on the issue, she won’t push so aggressively for a bill that seems to put politics over children’s safety.

Absolutely pathetic.

It is no wonder women have not broken through that glass ceiling when they act this way. They get what they deserve. These women could learn a thing or two by looking at how the black community is supporting Obama. Right or wrong, that is how you act when you want to achieve something for your race or gender.

Now those women feel what I felt when Obama became the Democratic nominee and he and Michelle did a fist bump. I wanted to puke. Actually I “vomitted in my mouth”.

Irrelevant.

JM08, I respect John McCain.

But you suck.

As a conservative I wouldn’t have voted for Hillary, but this being a pro-Hillary blog I see no point in slamming her, especially after she was relentlessly slimed by both 0bama and the media. She needs to be the nucleus of a reformed Democrat Party, with the extreme lefties ostracized. The likes of 0bama, Pelosi and Reid need to be expelled!

This has been a very bad two days for Hillary. Her backing out of that protest made her look petty. And then the dis-invitation of Palin today at the insistance of Obama made her seem like a hack.

Warning to Hillary. When you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

Wrong! Don’t be so naive!

That is strictly your own opinion.

What do you mean? Are you going to flush them down a toilet?

I hate to say this but I agree with you, and shame on Bill Clinton also. he knows Obama is not the right choice yet he says he supports him.

Country before Party!

Well, McCain campaigned for Bush in 2000, after Bush slimed his entire famiy. Had he not done that he would not be the nominee today. Hillary has to do what she has to do. But i do not enjoy watching it.

OK, Andrew, we heard you the first time.

I lived my entire childhood and early adulthood in the Cold War, under the shadow of thousands of Soviet nukes aimed at the USA. I find it hard to get too upset that some pissant country that resembles a gigantic cult more than a real nation might cobble together a few crude nukes. If our huge arsenal deterred the USSR, it should deter pissants.

Mr. Mike:

That was spot on!!! Very well put.

Hillary is smart. She knows that if she tows the party line by supporting bambam and he is elected, he will never be elected again. HRC 2012.
And if mccain wins he will be dead in 4 years. HRC 2012.
Win/win.

That bitch is crazy. She got fired as a columnist in the Globe’s style section. Brain dead. She wrote an article about if military dolphins could talk. Typical Obama supporter. Loser. Fruitcake.

Well, at least she didn’t say that Obama’s support among hard-working white Americans is weak, because as we know, that would be racist.

aye

Ignorant buffoon. McCain went to the NAACP convention and spoke, didn’t he? I thought he also went to the Urban League, but could be wrong…maybe he only went to one of those?

I’d never heard of Ed Schultz a couple of weeks ago, but I will certainly NOT listen to his show or to anything on Air America now.

Does his acting this way hurt Al Franken’s campaign in MN?

Nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay,nay etc etc.

Hillary has not gone out of her way to diss palin. please get your facts straight.

We like spirited conversation here, but we abhor people who talk out of their ass.

JM08 sorry that people here are trashing you for your opinion. I heavily supported Hillary, even helped contribute to pay off her debt for awhile. I just could not continue supporting her while she we supporting Obama.

I am not voting for McCain “temporarily”, I truly believe he will be the change and leadership this country needs. I always thought an election between he and Hillary would be great to witness.

One thing a lot of liberals are missing, when McCain gets in office and he and Palin clean up this mess – it is going to be next to impossible not to have Palin be President for 8 years after McCain.

The democratic convention should have been a spectacle lead by Hillary demanding the fair and right thing for the American people.

JM I would email you to discuss this, but I can’t, so please listen. I’m a Republican too, but I see no point in slamming Hillary at this point. We need unity, not division. The race is very very close right now and there’s no need to alienate any voters, especially by “getting in their faces.”

Let’s focus on November and worry about what Hillary is doing later on. She is a devout Democrat and she’s not going to turn into a Republican overnight, or perhaps ever. However, my opinion of her has changed since I’ve read NQ. There are some great folks on here.

Also, after the election, we have to live with each other regardless of who wins, and besides that, if you want people to listen to your ideas, you should start by respecting theirs. That’s what St. Paul did when evangelizing, he found common ground with his audience and worked from there.

We are in grave danger right now from 0bama. I appreciate your passion, let’s channel it toward our common enemy. If need be, post your stuff over on FreeRepublic.com and get it off your chest.

Best,

Vicki

PS the best speech I saw her give was the one where she said, “The sky will open, the light will come pouring down…” I was ROFL!

Ok, i am fully convinced this is an obama troll now.

He went through multiple phases of the concern troll where he was complaining about John McCain not being tough on Obama.

Now he is bashing Hillary and calling himself a republican.

People its just a clever obama troll.

Ignore it.

Better yet sling monkey feces at a print out of its posts instead of responding to it.

Nanny, would you please change JM08′s diaper already?

“You say Hillary cant actively support the GOP because she is a democrat. Joe Lieberman did.”

Hello? Lieberman lost the Democratic Primary. He was re-elected to the Senate as an Independent.

If you were not a big hillary supporter what exactly brought you here?

You do know that Lieberman is an independent because the DNC ran someone against him in the Democratic primaries as payback for him supporting the Iraq war? How exactly is that situation similar to HRCs?

Hillary has not drunk the koolaid. She is doing what is expected of her as a major party leader to ensure she stays politically viable shoudl obama lose.

jm08. Please take a bit of advice. Lay off hillary.

“I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.” — Hillary Clinton

^Obama Troll in disguise.

Ho hum!

LOL daily Kos? do you not understand that republicans don’t hang out reading Daily Kos? A lot of democrats don’t either.

Stop with the Lies Obama Troll. Everyboy knows you are an Obama Troll by now. Nobody is buying your bullshit.

GO find that pregnancy suit!

JM
I’m voting for McCain/Palin based on their values and convictions.
What I like about Sarah is that she is true to herself and will not waver on what she believes.
I may have been a strong democrat at onetime, but I do not recognize them anymore.
I have loved the Clinton’s throughout their careers but I have moved on now and fully support the Republicans.
The democrats wish for defeat for America. Unless the party is purged I’m not looking back.

Dude,

I’m an actual Republican here and you don’t sound like any Republican I’ve ever met.

Real Republicans treat their allies with respect.

It is true that at some time in the future I may not be allied with Hillary supporters but so long as the alliance lasts they will get my respect.

So I would have to agree with the others here. You are a ∅bot sent to create division in the ranks.

“The publication belongs to The Economist Group, half of which is owned by the Financial Times, a subsidiary of Pearson PLC. A group of independent shareholders, including many members of the staff and the Rothschild banking family of England,[9]”

I agree, Gary- those Rothchilds aren’t to be trusted. What a bunch of elite losers!!! Huh?

Watch it and support her. Stop the whining. Senator Clinton is not whining, she is working.

…Mr Obama did very well with women under 30,…

NoBamaNoWay: you make excellent points.

Obama did well with women under 30 because they have not yet experienced dicrimination on the job, not because things are so much better.

In fact Sarah paid tribute to Hillary at the convention and in the Charlie Gibson interview. And to Geraldine Ferraro too.

Very well put. Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately you won’t receive the praise you deserve here on NoQuarter. But I recommend that you cut/paste your comment onto some other (more receptive) blogs. I can guarantee that it would be appreciated.

“Governor Palin lacks the trail blazing and the overcoming of hardship that is at the core of a pioneer.”

In other words: if you’re not a victim, you’re not a feminist, sorry pioneer. Right?

Sorry I don’t buy your spin.

One thing’s for sure- McCain wanted to fire the head of the SEC…so there goes your whackjob conspiracy theory right out the door….

Welfare is very important, fundamentally so. Without welfare, you’d have a situation like Brazil, the Phillipines, etc. It would be a huge mess. Having said that…

Chronic welfare is also a very bad thing–not as bad as the other extreme, namely no welfare whatsoever, but is nonetheless very bad.

Human nature, humanity, people, etc., exists best in a happy medium. Biology and medicine have long known this. Sociology and liberal dogma is only beginning to catch up.

But mind you, the federal expenditures for welfare for the poor is absolutely NOTHING compared to CORPORATE WELFARE. Consequently, when you hear the GOP run on welfare, it is nothing more than racist scapegoating. “Welfare” is code for “black”. Even before Bill Clinton reformed welfare, while it is true blacks were disproportionately those who were chronically on welfare, whites were still the majority of the beneficiaries of the federal welfare program.

The best way to end welfare, end crime in the inner cities (since crime & unemployment go hand in hand), is to create jobs, rather than to constantly send them south of the border to Mexico or overseas to China.

During the 1950′s and 60′s, companies moved (manufacturing) jobs moved from the cities to the suburbs due to comparatively higher city taxes. This really hurt the black communities within the cities, nationwide. Black crime began to skyrocket at this time.

During the 1980′s and 90′s, (manufacturing) jobs went south of the border to Mexico, to take advantage of slave wages. During the 2000′s, jobs are going to China (manufacturing), India (high tech), Mexico, etc. Also, the 2000′s saw an influx of millions of illegals who are taking service, construction as well as traditional agricultural jobs, which hurts everyone, especially blacks and native born Hispanics.

Free trade is virtually always a good thing when it is between likewise wealthy countries, with strong regulations. With poor countries, free trade is a good thing only when there is plenty of regulations and/or escape mechanism for when one side is cheating by not enforcing regulations, (fairness) agreements, and so on.

That is, like welfare, free trade is good only when it is practiced in moderation.

P.S. BTW, the “blacks” aren’t the ones sending jobs over to China, India, and Mexico. No, it is the white guys who run on “welfare” who are shipping jobs over to China, India, and Mexico.

Good read, NH.

As an old school feminist, I think it might be edifying for young women to have to fight for the rights that we fought hard to gain. Maybe the threat of losing choice, of confronting the realities of sexism without their fore-mothers there to rebel against, will get them off their self-righteous asses.
