I woke up this morning thinking about Joy Behar of The View. Strange. I never watch The View and my familiarity with it is confined to the coverage it gets on other programs.
Sidenote: have you noticed how much the industry reports on itself lately? We have become such a society of spectators that the programs people watch are increasingly part of the programs they watch! Almost incestuous, wouldn't you say?
Back to the View and Joy Behar. That woman seems very offensive. Why would any woman speak of another woman in such terms? She seems like a totally classless human being who should not be on national TV because of her ignorance and coarseness. That kind of behavior belongs on the waterfronts of the 1940s.
Her victim, on the other hand, retaliated in a very classy way. Flowers with a polite put down note. How . . . well, how very classy! Not to mention effective.
You know, it has been reported that about 98% of blacks vote in a block for their own color. I don't approve of voting on the basis of color or gender, but why don't women stick together a little more? Just be a little more accepting of one another. Instead they are knifing one another in the back like thugs on (again) a 1940s waterfront.
I think it interesting that women who call themselves liberal, the meaning of which is open-minded, generous, and not prejudiced, exhibit the exact opposite traits.
For one example, they believe in abortion for any reason, for any woman. Free choice, they say. I do not intend to debate the issue here but merely to point out that these self-defined open-minded, generous women, singularly are NOT open-minded and generous if any woman dares to choose differently from what they would. Sarah Palin has been severely castigated for choosing to deliver a specially challenged baby, and Bristol Palin has received the same treatment for delivering a baby out of wedlock. No, the "liberal" women absolutely do NOT believe in free choice.
And if those choosing differently from the generous liberals should happen to express their "Views" or be successful (even at dancing), the liberal knives are brandished threateningly.
Run the gamut of their beliefs and you will find the same lack of generosity and open-mindedness on most of the issues. Not only unaccepting of other "Views," but downright mean and personally offensive.
It seems in this election cycle that liberal women are extremely nasty toward conservative women. It seems they cannot disagree without extreme personal attacks, branding their opponents with personally offensive remarks, names, and descriptions.
What is the problem with them? It's almost as though they are ashamed of or guilty for their own choices so NEED 100% compliance to justify them. Just one woman deviating from their path is a challenge to their equanimity?
OofDah! If they're that unsure of their choices perhaps they should revisit their convictions. And perhaps choose a more generous "View."
