    As a woman myself, I'd like to tell these women marchers to sit down and shut the hell up! What are they marching, protesting, and whining about? No one really knows. Many of them made a spectacle of themselves walking around dressed like vaginas and then they actually expect anyone to take them seriously or show them respect? Stop it!

    I saw some comments how they won't 'spend any money that day'. So basically, they're going to leave the house and not spend money all day? Sounds like Christmas to me! Is there a place I can make a donation so this type of event happens more often?

    If we get rid of women, does that mean I can get rid of my alimony and child support payments?

    Itll end up being just like that stuff that went on a few years ago where folks were calling for a national gas boycot. They wanted to send a message telling the oilcompanies thst they were sick and tired of high prices (yeah whoever thought this up has no idea how things work)

    Apparently a lot of folks really went through with not buying gas that day. There was a marked drop in gas sales that day. And a marked rise in sales the day after.

    Same thing would happen with women notnsoending money that day.

    Sounds a bit like known alcoholics swearing that this time they WON'T take a sip of whiskey that's just sitting there . . . taunting them.

    Yours and my Wife seem to have come from the same mold.

    I was referring to the lib nags.

    And, remember...

    When you are in the doldrums and think YOU have it bad...

    ...just remember, that there actually is a MR. Pelosi.

    I thought the mold was broken after my wife was born. And then my daughters were born. And they are even better. They work like men, act like ladies and I'm about to get my second granddaughter. Both of which will undoubtedly surpass their mothers.

    Im glad to hear there are other women out there like my old lady.

    Pelosi is married? Holy (*)(*)(*)(*).

    Beware of women who do not fart. They just hold it in and it comes out later as drama.

    What's with all of these leftist boycotts and a "Day Without a ______________. (fill in the blank.) They all backed fire and usually a backlash follows.

    From 1965 to 1968 the counterculture movement protested against the Vietnam War. When the NVA and VC got their asses beaten to a bloody pulp during Tet of 68 North Vietnam was ready to throw in the towel until they looked at the future Democrat establishment protesting on the streets of America and the protesters prolonged the Vietnam War by almost five more years.

    OWS and all they accomplished was showing the world that millennials can't survive in a world without toilets.

    But the best one was back on May 1st, 2006, "A Day Without Immigrants." For one day it was like back when America was still great again. No traffic jams, short lines at the checkout stands, cops had nothing to do, a big drop in crime and they actually got the order right at McDonalds.

    And there was a backlash, no amnesty for illegal aliens and waving Mexican flags will result in a liberal being beaten at the polls on election day.

    Republican Criticizes Some Signs at Women's March

    From Cosmopolitan

    A Texas Republican said Thursday he was deeply disturbed by explicit signs at the Women's March on Washington last month while acknowledging that President Donald Trump's vulgar and sexually predatory comments about women triggered the display.

    Of the march the day after the inauguration, Rep. Mike Conaway said, "On balance, it was terrific." But the six-term congressman, an ordained deacon in the Baptist church, said he was bothered by some women's actions and believes the country needs to reclaim a moral high ground.

    "There was a taint to that march that just cut me to the core," Conaway said at an Agriculture Department event. "Women carrying signs and wearing costumes in the foulest, nastiest, crudest, crassest manner possible, talking about female body parts."

    Conaway acknowledged that many of the signs were a reaction to the October release of a recording from 2005, in which Trump made a series of comments about groping women. In the tape, Trump bragged to a TV personality that his fame allowed him to force himself on women.

    "The trigger for that obviously was Mr. Trump's exchange with Billy Bush, which should never have happened, it was never excused in a private conversation, but now it's perfectly all right to carry signs as badges of honor across this nation's capital," Conaway said.

    Conaway, the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, made his comments after speaking to the audience of department employees and farm groups about upcoming farm legislation in Congress. He closed the speech by asking the group to "hang with me for a second" while he diverged from the subject of agriculture.

    He spoke about the nation's founding fathers and said that only a religious and moral people could self-govern. He said, "You've got to live a moral code."

    Referring to the song "God Bless America," Conaway asked, "Can God bless the killing of 57 million babies in 43 years? Can he bless the coarsening of our society, the language we use, the stuff that comes out of Hollywood that we think's entertainment, the way we deify in many instances the folks that put that on?"

    As he ended, Conaway thanked the group for allowing him to preach. When he became chairman of the agriculture panel in 2015, he started saying prayers at the beginning of each hearing.

    At a question-and-answer session afterward, one man who did not identify himself said he had had relatives at the march and Conaway should "start by confessing your role in the problems that our country has."

    Some of the several hundred people in the room clapped, while others jeered at the questioner.

    "I am a sinner saved by grace," Conaway responded. "No better than anybody else, I sin every single day. I do things that offend God every single day. I try not to let that happen."

    Conaway's committee has spent the past two years reviewing the nation's food stamp program and is laying the groundwork for an overhaul. Conaway said Republicans will propose "meaningful reform" to the $70 billion-a-year program when the farm bill is up for renewal next year.

    A committee report issued last year suggested the panel may try to strengthen work requirements, tighten eligibility requirements, or provide new incentives to encourage recipients to buy more healthful foods.

    How about they stop taking money and stuff from men (including the government) for a year? We'll see how independent they are then.
