Fourth, and most importantly, we are eating cupcakes because we feel really shitty right now.

Almost everybody I know is walking around utterly pole-axed. It’s not the economy, it’s everything. Everything is changing. We are in a total state of flux. We have very little down time. We don’t know what we’re supposed to be doing. Somebody changed the rules and never bothered to tell us what the new rules were. It’s like we woke up in a pleasant, NASCAR-paced 1984.

....

There’s nothing wrong with riding a wave.

Sell cupcakes. Start a continuity program. Spend hours a day on Twitter. These are good strategies for right now. Make your money. Enjoy riding the wave.

But have a rock solid plan for what you’re going to do when the wave crashes.

And if you happen to sell cupcakes for a living, you might want to look into funnel cakes. I hear they’re coming back with a vengeance.

Great advice. This is so how I feel right now.

It’s like they practically salivate over the thought of another woman getting an abortion. I don’t know why, but it’s sickening how much feminists try to actively convince women to have abortions. And of course, never mentioned is the option of not getting pregnant if you absolutely cannot handle a baby at the moment. There’s birth control, and if you can’t afford that, the solution is simple: don’t have sex. But of course, telling a feminist that women shouldn’t have sex if they aren’t ready for a baby might make their head explode. I mean, really, dare you tell women that they should keep their legs shut if they aren’t ready to get pregnant?! Believe it or not, there is an element of personal responsibility at play here. The whole feminist philosophy is disgusting. They tell women to sleep around like men do. When women then get unintentionally pregnant (usually while unmarried), they tell the women to just kill the damn burden growing inside of you and throw it out like refuse. And NO, don’t you dare do any research about abortion, what your baby looks like, or the effect having an abortion can have on you. Just kill the damn thing and get back to your Womyn’s Studies classes because college is the MOST. IMPORTANT. THING. EVER! And no, you cannot do both, you must choose between being a pregnant, barefoot housewife in a kitchen or being a smart, single, feminist womyn with a degree in Gender Studies. If you have the baby you are contributing to the partiarchy! And you will be a victim! Do what we say! Don’t think for yourself!

Found this on Hot Air.

I have a t-shirt and a bumper sticker I've wanted to make my husband came up with: "You already made your choice."

You know what? No, I'm not for making abortion illegal. But I'm all for making it more restrictive and much more difficult to get. I'm also for teaching children and teenagers what responsibility is. Would I be overjoyed with my daughter coming to me and telling me she and her boyfriend were going to have sex--or worse, were ALREADY having sex? NOPE, not at all. But if after screaming shrill-ly at the top of my lungs and I couldn't talk her out of it (and her father didn't kill her boyfriend), I would take her to get birth control. Honestly--what's the other alternative?

My daughter is going to be pristine and perfect and never have sex outside of marriage... (coughcough) Yeah, she's going to be locked in the tallest tower guarded by a dragon and a moat, why? You mean that's won't keep her safe either?

You know what else I'm for? Sex education. I mean, REAL sex education. Telling women (and men) they have a choice: you can have sex and face whatever consequences there are or you can not have sex and avoid those consequences altogether.

Having sex is a decision. If you choose to have sex, regardless of age or sex, then you choose to accept the responsibility of your actions. It's not like birth control is difficult to get. Or condoms. Walk into your favorite health clinic. Last time I went to one, I could get flavored condoms.

Use birth control and remember always, in the back of your mind at least, that no birth control is absolutely 100% effective. Truth--no spin.

And accidents happen. I know someone who had her tubes tied, yet got pregnant. Talk about whoops! But if you're not prepared to take responsibility for your actions, then why are you doing it in the first place?

P.S. In my little world, if I didn't think it was so invasive and NOT right, I would probably encourage all girls as soon as they got their periods to have an IUD inserted.

Every time we don’t stand up to a verbal or written assault on the idea of America; the concept that in this country, if you work hard and treat people with decency and respect and honesty, you can succeed to your heart’s desire, limited only by the meter of your own ambition.  Every time we don’t remind the Leftist of this…we’re pulling back…and surrendering ground for which so many brave and noble patriots have paid the ultimate price.

I’m guilty of it.  Maybe some of you are too.  Hearing spew from some Lefty’s mouth that same old America’s-to-blame, let’s-all-be-like-Europe crap that sounds so politically correct, and to many seems so ‘culturally evolved’ to say. 

We, who are not normally politically active, who just want to raise our families and go to work and live our lives…we who are not typically prone to confrontation, well…we demure from the fight.  We hold our tongues.  “Just let it go,” we think silently.  “Why engage?  It won’t change anyone’s mind.  We’ll just end up arguing and putting a damper on this pretty day….”

Well I say BULLSHIT.    Put a damper on the day!  Things have changed – drastically.  Blow a whistle.  Throw a flag on the play, call 15 yards for unnecessary stupidity. 

Get in their face.  Remind them in a calm but firm manner…that they are obviously misinformed.  America is the greatest nation the world has ever known. 

America, with its concept of personal liberty and responsibility extends, to hundreds of millions, opportunities at happiness and prosperity never before seen in human history. 

America, at great cost, has done more to selflessly introduce freedom and democracy around the globe than any other nation, bar none.  America, like no other country you can name, has been the beacon of hope – real hope – for the world since the time of its inception and continues to offer the world the best of everything – the best technology, the best agriculture, the highest standard of living, by anyone’s measure, and yes, the best HEALTH CARE!

At least…for now.

Folks… Our greatest battle is upon us.  We are fighting the fight of our lives.  And it is for the hearts and minds of America.  We are literally fighting for our freedom.

And we can win this fight — if we stay true to our purpose, and stay politically active, even ratchet it up. Get on the offense; take it to the streets, the shops, the coffee houses, fellow employees at work.  Everywhere you go, ask questions, raise the issues, question their offhand remarks, ask them specifically what they mean by that. (Leftists hate specifics.  They hate having to define their terms because it forces their true intentions out into the open; and reveals their core beliefs….which when held up to the bright light of truth…are abhorrent, even, in most cases, to them.)

Debate stupidity.  Calmly, confidently, armed with the facts, take them on.  Our forefathers risked their careers, their property, even their lives to stand up for American ideals; we can risk a little discomfort, embarrassment or popularity debating some lefty knucklehead in a supermarket.  You see…we have truth, reason…and goodness on our side.   What’ve they got?  Keith Olbermann?  Nancy Pelosi?  Harry Reid?

We can win.  And we will win. 

Enjoy!

I might as well get some seriously incendiary political content up on Wrestling With Apep while the option is fresh in my mind. I'm not responsible for what you may read or hear here, except insofar as it's in direct response to something that I torture you with.
