LIBERALS HATE AMERICA ==> Feminists Silent |
Feminists Silent on Freedom for Iraqi Women by Lisa De Pasquale
http://www.cblpolicyinstitute.org/silenceoniraqiwomen.htm
The transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi government marks a new day for
Iraqi women. Thanks to the courageous action taken by the Bush
administration and its allies, Iraqi women have renewed freedom. The
administration has insisted that women receive educational and small
business opportunities, as well as active participation in government.
For months radical feminists have been silent on the plight of Iraqi
women. Instead this hypocritical bunch has condemned the war in Iraq
and its subsequent liberation of women simply because the war is
supported by conservatives.
In March feminists gathered in front of the White House to protest
military action against Saddam Hussein. The protest was called "Code
Pink: Women's Pre-Emptive Strike for Peace." On the other side of the
world, Iraqi women were being denied the most basic (Indian)n lived in
fear knowing that Iraqi law freely allowed male relatives to murder
them in the name of honor. In Iraqi prisons, women were raped and
tortured for being related to Iraqi opposition activists. Videotapes of
the acts were sent to the families.
Despite obvious human rights violations and limits on freedom,
feminists, led by the National Organization for Women, ignored Saddam
Hussein's reprehensible treatment of women. Under the Saddam Hussein
regime Iraqi women were not allowed to work outside the home.
Feminists, on the other hand, talked about America's "tyrants" and the
threat of "tyranny in our homes, our workplaces and our schools."
Radical feminists witnessed a legitimate case of tyranny and violence
against women in Iraq, but they remained steadfastly against policies
and actions taken by America and the Bush administration that helped
these women. NOW President Kim Gandy stated, "The real terrorism is the
Bush administration's disregard for international law and destruction
of civil liberties at home. This has become an issue of one dictator
versus another."
Feminists are more comfortable allowing Iraqi women to endure torture
than supporting the Bush Administration. For example, a report by
Amnesty International documented the beheading of 50 young women in
Baghdad. The report also said, "The heads of these women were hung on
the doors of their houses for a few days." Saddam's son Uday led the
group of men who beheaded the women and terrorized their families.
The US State Department reports that human rights organizations receive
continuous testimony on the psychological trauma women have suffered
after being tortured and raped by Iraqi military personnel. Despite
this overwhelming evidence, feminists in the US praised Iraq and cited
a suspicious United Nations report that said Iraq "scored highest in
women's empowerment." Before the capture of Saddam, NOW stated in a
press release posted on their website that Iraqi women "currently enjoy
more rights and freedoms than women in other Gulf nations, such as
Saudi Arabia."
At an International Alliance for Justice press conference in 2002,
Safia al-Souhail, an Iraqi woman whose father was murdered for opposing
Saddam, said, "We are here begging the support of the free world to
liberate us from the nightmare we have been living in for the past
three decades." Al-Souhail also said, "Disarmament alone will not end
our suffering. This regime should be indicted for its crimes against
humanity."
NOW and their cohorts were deaf to these women's pleas and still
condemn the war in Iraq. Feminists invent problems in the US and ignore
the real problems faced by women around the world. NOW accuses
President Bush of "reversing women's rights here and abroad." Feminist
Majority leader Eleanor Smeal odiously said that the Bush
Administration "needs to construct a foreign policy as if women
mattered."
The deceptively titled March for Women's Lives in April brought
thousands of feminists and leftist supporters to Washington, DC. Rather
than march against the atrocities and violence against women in Iraq
and other countries around the world, feminists waved coat hangers and
demanded taxpayer-funded abortions. Cybill Shepherd held a sign that
said, "Too bad John Ashcroft's mother didn't believe in abortion." Amid
"Fire Bush," "Tarts for Choice" and other placards feminist icon Gloria
Steinem told the crowd, "This government is the greatest danger on
earth!"
Echoing the hateful and hysterical rhetoric, Senator Hillary Clinton,
with no apparent sense of irony regarding the previous administration,
said she was there to criticize President Bush for "not upholding laws
against sexual harassment and discrimination."
These radical feminists' stance on military action in Iraq and the
global war on terrorism illustrate how they have consistently fallen
short of their purported mission to "eliminate sexism and eliminate all
oppression." Their motives are clearly political and not based on
advancing the rights of women around the world. When faced with a war
that liberated the Iraqi people, a majority of whom are women,
feminists would much rather turn a blind eye to the horrors of Saddam
than support America and the Bush Administration.

LIBERAL Lessons from Kobe Bryant + Scott Peterson Cases
Soccer Moms and other Women!
Do you want LIBERAL judges who rule against rape victims?
Do you want LIBERAL judges who free murderers?
Do you want LIBERAL feminazis who want to kill you and your baby in
your pregnancy? Did Lacey Peterson have a "choice"?
Do soccer moms want LIBERAL judges + Kobe Bryant + O.J.?
WOMEN of the world unite!
LIBERAL Demon-KKK-Rat John KKKerry opposes the death penalty, he
supports rights for dirty muslim terrorists and criminals, and he
promises to appoint LIBERAL judges to the U.S. Supreme Court.
By contrast, President George W. Bush and the Party of Lincoln support
the death penalty and support TOUGH JUDGES who protect women's rights
to be free from rape, murder, assault, battery, and terrorism.
Please protect our sisters, daughters and mothers: vote Bush/Cheney!
