Why else? When they set up welfare, they insisted that it be a one parent home (usually the mother) before they'd help. Drove the men out of the homes, destroyed the family unit and only made things worse. Now they are attacking mothers for choosing to stay home. Soon no one will be at home raising the children!

It's a Rothschild/Vatican swipe at an antithesis effort for parents to be truly parents.

A liberal women here on SH just said that Ann Romney was a bad role model because she didn't have a career of her own and wasn't a feminist. I thought I was back in the 60's and 70's!

They criticize Romney's wealth but they praised the Kennedy's, Gore's and Kerry's. It's just their hypocritical ways.

Democrats spew that they want women to have choice...... just that a woman should not want to choose to be a housewife and mother solely. hmmmmmmm
This is consistent with their view of claiming tolerance..... they are just intolerant of those who don't believe their way.

This attitude has been developing for years, but it sure seems that anything traditional in our country is under attack right now. I respect a woman's decision to work, but I have always respected those woman who chose to do with less and stay home with thier children. Now I am the stay at home mom, making the finacial sacrifices, but I can not think of a better investment than my family.

There has been no swipe at stay at home mom's. Far from it. The remarks of Hilary Rosen were aimed at an ultra rich woman and how here life as a mother differs so much from that of an outside the home working mother.

Admittedly Hilary Rosen could have worded her comment far better to reflect what she intended to say.

They seem to despise anything at all which smacks of tradition.They appear to value only alternate opinions & lifestyles and label anyone who supports traditional or conservative ideals as bigots.

Dems have no values. They want the state to feed them, clothe them, put a roof over their head, tell them what to believe, destroy the constitution. The repubs are just as bad. The system is broken.

Well, it's hard to say that. I'm as conservative as they come -- anyone familiar with my comments on here knows that -- but there are Democrats whose lives seem to be rooted in a family-values base. And there are Republicans whose lives seem less so.

For instance, Barack Obama -- as much as I disagree with him politically and want to see him voted out this November -- does seem to be a very good husband and father. You have to give him that.

On the Republican side, well ... look at Newt Gingrich.

Of course, there are also Republicans who do live a very solid family-values life, and Democrats who don't. I don't think this sort of thing is something that either side can claim any sort of monopoly on.

As for the Hilary Rosen comment, though, all I can say is that if someone at the REPUBLICAN National Committee had said such a thing about a Democrat's wife, there would be all sorts of liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth!

Rush Limbaugh calls a woman inappropriate names, and liberals attribute his comments to ALL conservatives while using this as a basis on which to launch "war on women" accusations.

But when a Democrat says something demeaning to stay-at-home moms, it's all "oh, no, that's just her talking -- it doesn't reflect the party's feeling as a whole."

Well...

Well, maybe it doesn't. But that doesn't stop liberals from painting conservatives in general with a wide brush whenever ONE of them says something out-of-bounds.

It's this sort of double standard that I can't stand.

Terribly well said. This has always been one of my biggest grievances concerning liberal Dems, as you say, the wide brush with which they paint their opponents. They so often use blanket statements (such as ALL conservatives are racists, misogynists, religions "freaks", etc...) to avoid answering pointed questions.

True -- just as Rush Limbaugh's badly chosen words do not represent all conservatives.

That's not the way many liberals seemed to see it, though. Limbaugh's badly chosen words were one of the launch-pads from which liberals have fired their accusations that Republicans are "waging war on women."

I swear to almighty God in heaven, if I hear one more "Republican war on women" accusation, I'm going to lose my lunch. It's far and away the biggest piece of political-rhetoric bullsheet I've ever heard.

I have found democrats love women as long as they act like men, and usually look like men. So they pretty much hate a stay at home mom, or even a working mom with traditional values. Especially if she's nice looking. Unless she used to be a he of-course, then it's fine.

and sorry to say but you spelled disdain wrong. Download speckie if you use ie. It adds spell check. It's pretty nice.

They've been working on breaking up the family unit for years. Glorifying gays, encouraging promiscuity in women ( I dont know how this one figures in) ,making divorce easier, de-masculating men.It's all part of the scheme to reduce the population.
