If you want to get a good view of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party committing suicide, then check out this post in firedoglake. The proprietor of this site was so outraged by the publication of Kate O'Beirne's book Women Who Make the World Worse that she organized a vigilante assault in the reviews section of Amazon. The result was predictable. The book is now ranked #281. This attempt by Jane Hamsher, properitor of firedoglake, to sabotage a book, has become a fiasco. She’s made the book into a runaway best seller.
The Independent Women’s Forum covers the tempest in this post.
My late wife, Myrna, was ostracized in Woodstock, NY for her anti-feminist views, and because she respected and admired men. So, I’m quite familiar with the hysteria of the left. And the tactic was always the same… screaming that Myrna was chained to the oven and brutalized at home. Trouble with the theory was that Myrna was the training director of an international corporate law firm, a jazz and blues singer and a first rate intellect.
Many years ago, I was a Democrat. Three issues have driven me out of the Democratic Party: (1) feminism, (2) abortion and (3) reflexive anti-Americanism. I am the first member of my family to graduate from a four year college. The constant insistence from the Democratic Party that I take a back seat to women, gays and black has alienated me, probably, permanently. I am a realist about abortion. It probably needs to be available, but not as a means of birth control. And, the left wing of the Democratic Party has simply decided that it will not support any military action initiated by a Republican president.
Marxist feminism has driven the left to insanity. If you don’t believe this, take a look at the nutjobs in these photos attempting to prevent an anti-abortion march in San Francisco.
