... that is, except Sarah Palin

Monique Chartier

and millions of other women. A bumper sticker snapped in the greater Providence area last evening:

100_0256.jpg


The surprising un-welcome from some quarters, described so well by Donald, to the arrival of Governor Sarah Palin on the national political scene made it quite clear, contrary to this seemingly guileless bumper sticker, that feminism extends considerably beyond the recognition of human females as members of the species Homo sapien sapien. As outlined in part by Gloria Steinem, it mandates the absence of religion, guns and fossil fuels and the confession of mankind's guilt in the phenomenon of global warming.

In short, as Donald pointed out, "feminism" has revealed itself to be politically, not gender, oriented and certainly not limited to the task of species assigment.

Any chance we can somehow make that jpg a little smaller than the 1871px × 553px, 305.63 KB file that it is now? It takes half a minute to load and I'm on a gigabit connection. Anyone viewing this site via dial-up (the poor bastards) would be here all day.

Part of the problem is that she allowed herself and her daughter to practice reproductive choice, but won't allow other women and girls to. People forget that giving birth is a choice, too.
If any good comes out of Palin's VP run, it'll be getting Ann Coulter off her position that women should be denied the right to vote.
P.S. Do you think she REALLY wants that knuckledragger baby daddy for a son-in-law?

Hi, Greg.

That's the original size of the image. I reduced it to a much smaller size. Not sure why it's showing as the larger size.

Anyone who has dialup should check to see if they are within range of a Verizon hub so they can get $20 DSL service:

No, I do not work for Verizon. But I appreciate that they got me out of dial up a couple of years ago with this reasonably priced service.

... to clarify, the image showing is the smaller image. Not sure why you're seeing the dimensions for the original image and not the image that is showing.

"P.S. Do you think she REALLY wants that knuckledragger baby daddy for a son-in-law?"

Ha. The sodomite "community" has been blogging non-stop about how "cute" Levi Johnston and Track Palin are. Bet the mayor of a certain capital city will start a "Gays for McCain" chapter if he could get a weekend being "tag-teamed" by those two.

Yes, it is a choice and it's made at the time of conception. Doesn't anyone remember this from biology class?
