conservative women tend to be very happy women. we embrace the principles of individualism and self-reliance as opposed to the left’s concept of group think. besides being happy, we are pretty tough and resilient – we’ve had to be considering the way we’ve been portrayed in the media and by those on the left for decades now. we speak out, become activists, and some run for office.
there are no other conservative women in politics today that can cause a collective mass meldown on the left like former alaska governor sarah palin and michigan congresswoman michele bachmann. these conservative women are unconventional, smart, competent, attractive, and fearless. they love the fact they represent we the people. they both have a rare talent these days of connecting with constituents and others who may have felt isolated from political discourse.
last night on o’reilly, michele bachmann spoke briefly about why so many media figures, like the freaks on msnbc, and others on the left have such a crazed fixation of her and sarah palin. here’s part of the interview:
when o’reilly asks michele bachmann why the far-left go after her so much, she said this:
“You know, it is an interesting phenomenon. I think it happened with a competing cable network that took an interest in me and it has only grown. So now, it’s almost like I have personal stalkers, only they have TV shows.”
(…)
“It may bother them that conservative women are happy and don’t need government in order to be successful in life. I have a great husband, great kids. I had a great career as a federal tax attorney and I don’t need government to be successful. And it seems like they have a stereotype for women and I do not fit in their stereotype.”
though sarah palin is by far the leading target of the left, there really is no question they stalk michele bachmann as well. msnbc anchors make careers out of it.
does the left have a stereotype for liberal women? if i were to stereotype a liberal woman, i would say they seem angry, loud, hostile, snarky, and chronically disgruntled about something. i could also say something about shaving but i won’t. 🙂 seriously, when was the last time you saw a really happy liberal woman? especially those in the public eye?
lisab says: well i admit to being snarky … and chronically disgruntled about something … but is that because i am liberal or because i am from massachusetts? i think it is the latter.
Jane says: Liberal women are far more compassionate then our conservative counterparts, seeing the world through a lens of suffering. Some of greatest heroes were cut down in their prime: MLK, JFK, RFK. We have a spirit of advocacy. We are not afraid to be the underdog and help the underpriveledged. Yes we can be angry and disgruntled but only because we stand for equality and social justice for all. We reject classism, sexism, and gender bias. We are not afraid of the battle.
I shave too.
Ken says: “Liberal women are far more compassionate then our conservative counterparts,”
Only in your mind, Jane, only in your mind. Care to back that statement up??
“We are not afraid to be the underdog and help the underpriveledged.”
Except those in Iraq……..and Afghanistan…….or anyone else that does benefit you politically. Such a big heart!!!!
“We reject classism, sexism, and gender bias.”
Yes, your most noble ethics was revealed quite well when the left attacked Palin non-stop for being a working woman who was a, GASP, conservative!!!
I think you forgot to add hypocrisy to your list.
“I shave too.”
If you say so.
BikerDan says: Shaving your chin whiskers don’t count Jane.
All I know is conservative women are HOT!
“Liberal women are far more compassionate then our conservative counterparts, seeing the world through a lens of suffering. ”
yeah, the truth is that most of the money that goes to fix that suffering comes from the most altruistic, compassionate and charitable group on the planet… CONSERVATIVES.
“Some of greatest heroes were cut down in their prime: MLK, JFK, RFK. ”
They were not liberal women.
“We have a spirit of advocacy. We are not afraid to be the underdog and help the underpriveledged.”
As long as we dont have to pay for it.
” Yes we can be angry and disgruntled but only because we stand for equality and social justice for all. We reject classism, sexism, and gender bias. We are not afraid of the battle.”
No. You guys create victims that dont exist only so you can get and your high horses and pretend to be miserable over it and offer a fix that is only self serving. You get high exibiting yourseles as the only ones who care.
You spend your whole lives running around looking for victims and when there arent enough you make em up. Consequently you spend your lives only focusing on all the bad, you become miserable.
“Social justice”
Yeah, we know all about that.
Its about making victims out of those who victimize those that earned what they should keep. Taking from those that you think you have the right to decide if they deserve whats theirs or not and give it someone else.
Giving opportunities to people based on their race or gender instead of their merits as humans. That kind of social justice ?
My first wife was very liberal and very beautiful. My current wife is very conservative and very beautiful. In my experience, neither side of the political aisle has a monopoly on hot women. Hippie chicks are hot. But, then again, so are rodeo chicks. ‘course, I’m just an old lecher anyway.
Ken says: “But, then again, so are rodeo chicks.”
Giddyup!!!!!!!!!
Elaine Minshau Lee says: “when was the last time you saw a really happy liberal woman? especially those in the public eye?”
That is a good question. I don’t remember the last time I saw a happy liberal woman except maybe in the months following Obama’s election. However, they are back to being angry again. And just for the sake of conversation, I don’t see this as a looks thing but more of a harsher less feminine attitude. I am myself moderate so I get the ying and yang!
rope is a rodeo chick. she was a rodeo queen and was a champion barrel racer. now she will kill me for saying all of that. goodbye blog buddies!
elaine yes i was referring to attitude and a confidence of being comfortable in one’s skin.
Jane said: We reject classism, sexism, and gender bias. We are not afraid of the battle.
The inference being that conservative women embrace those things. As if a woman of any political position would embrace sexism and gender bias.
Sometimes it’s not about politics. Shocking I know.
paula says: Jane
Lib women more compassionate than conservative women? Got any facts to back that up?
I’ll bet that conservative women give more of their income to charities than lib women. I give a substantial amount to my church, my kid’s school and other charities. The lib women I know hang on to their money tight!
paula says: Look here for conservatives giving more than liberals:

David says: I just saw on the Huffington Post that someone named Julie Farby quipped: ” ‘Tell Me What To Do Big, Strong Man!’ Republicans in general hate it when pesky estrogen-filled ladies have jobs,…”
I guess she never heard of Sarah Palin & Michelle Bachmann and others?…
gene says: oh lord this is comical! conservative women are the most prudish i have ever known. they are like stepford women. all you have to do is watch fox news and you see exactly what i mean. bachman and palin that’s funny. bachman wants to be palin and palin wants to be obama. both are bimbos.
Actually the Stepford Wives would do absolutely anything you asked them to.
Palin wants to be Obama ? I dont do LOLs but in this case, its happening.
Ya know Gene, just because conservative women dont run around with their stuff flying out in your face and screw everyone in sight (knowing they can abort the consequences) doesnt mean they cant get busy
Rope says: LOL Kate, never!
Gene talking out your arse again I see. Sounds to me like you are scared and can’t handle a strong, independant, self assused, hardworking , comfortable in her faith woman. Oh well, your loss.
David says: AMEN, Rope. Nothing wrong with strong, independent, self assured, hardworking, comfortable in their faith women.
Gene said: conservative women are the most prudish i have ever known.
Ever wonder if that may have more to do with you, Gene, than with the conservative women?
PenniePan says: Sarah Palin has nice legs. That’s it. She looks really 90’s white trashy other then her legs. Bachmann, good gahhhhd. She is horrible. A real bwitch. I bet her husband is whipped. If these 2 are what you think are happy conservatives, you are more looney then I thought.
MNBlue says: Michele Bachmann is a disgrace to the USA, MN, and the 6th. If you’re interested in getting rid of Bachmann, support democratic candidate Dr. Maureen Reed! You can learn more about Maureen, and donate, at:
