I’ve let the Sandra Fluke and Rush Limbaugh story play out for a while before I decided to put my two cents in to the fray.
When this whole thing started, something didn’t smell right… it had a rotten tuna odor to it, so naturally I thought of unethical Democrat campaign tactics. As it turns out…
First off, this whole premise of having the taxpayers fund her sexual activity is appalling. Why should you or I pay for her contraception? Who the hell does she think she is? And where did she get the notion that her contraception, paid for by others is a right?
In testimony before congress, the left-wing activist Sandra “Easy” Fluke stated that girls are going broke and can’t afford contraception. What about the guys? Don’t they have protection? I would think (from a guy’s perspective) you would want to be prepared rather than shut down. They’re half the equation too. Furthermore, if, between the two of you, you can’t afford the three bucks for a few condoms, keep your legs closed and your panties on.
She stated something to the effect of it costing about 3,000 dollars for contraception during her time at Georgetown. That’s a lot of sex, so much in fact that it’s likely more than the most popular street-walker on Times Square. I keep thinking of Rush’s slut remark and how accurate that description is.
Here’s an idea for Fluke. Sell it. Seriously. Your contraception would be paid for, you’re getting all the sex you want, and getting paid for it too!
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why we are focused on this nonsense. Once again the Democrat machine with their media allies are distracting us from the real issues. A failing economy, high unemployment, massive tax increases, skyrocketing gas prices, 5 trillion dollars in new Obama debt in just three years, trillion-dollar deficits every year of his failed presidency, the only president to have our credit rating downgraded. Instead, we’re talking about this bullshit.
So while we’re on this BS, let’s take a look at the real Sandra Fluke, and then bury this story:
You know the story by now, right? Republicans run the he-man women haters club. As the media has it the story goes like this: poor, unassuming, innocent Georgetown coed, accidentally ends up in front of Congress pleading for “reproductive rights.” Evil mean conservatives led by scalawag Rush Limbaugh unfairly call her a slut and announce a war on women to end their “access to contraception.”
Of course, that’s the left-wing media’s narrative. The real tale is that this is as manufactured a story as you can find, one created for the purpose of assisting Obama and his Democrat cohorts win the upcoming election. It’s all a scam.
The “coed” in question is one Sandra Fluke, a young woman that has been presented as some sort of expert in “reproductive rights” (another one of those faux rights we that have been foisted onto the public debate of late), but is she? Where did Ms. Fluke really come from and what is her background? Why was she presented as some sort of “expert” by a sitting Congresswoman, the former Speaker of the House, no less?
The media is presenting this Fluke character as if she is just a fresh-faced, wide-eyed, 23-year-old coed that has been accidentally swept up in this story. But the fact is, this Fluke woman is hardly the simple Georgetown coed that she’s being portrayed as. Fluke has years of big government, left-wing activism under her belt. It’s hardly a “fluke” that she was the one picked to ladle out this coordinated election season campaign game plan.
As early as 2009 Ms. Fluke was involved in left-wing efforts to create the nanny state…
She is also not an innocent young kid. She’s 30 years-old despite being reported as but an innocent 23-year-old student.
There’s something else she is not, and that is just an aggrieved student accidentally caught up in this media maelstrom. In fact, she is an activist against conservatives. Last year, for instance, Fluke took her campaign against “conservative” universities on the road and led seminars to that end held at Berkeley. (Thanks JWF)
In other words, we’ve been sold a bill of goods. This woman is a hardcore, middle-aged, political left-winger, not any innocent law student.
There’s an interesting and valid point brought up in this story from Big Journalism, one that is being forgotten. This is all on Obama. He’s the one that decided the 1st Amendment doesn’t fit the narrative so it should be blatantly violated.
If Obama had not decided to summarily dispense with the First Amendment — one of America’s original, founding principles — by Presidential fiat, this discussion would not be in the offing. And why is this the story of the day? Because Obama thinks it is in his best interest to try and keep the GOP portrayed as anti-woman and the Old Media establishment — Obama’s defacto campaign press office — is pleased to help him do that.
This story has been manufactured from day one. It is a false narrative invented in the White House, furthered by the President’s extremist, left-wing Party, and kept rolling by their lapdogs in the Old Media establishment.
Amen.
