What Will Today’s Faux Outrage Be?
Yesterday, the US was a twitter about Hilary Rosen’s remarks. The day before, Rep. Allen West’s remarks. So, will today’s outrage be focused on the Catholic League or something said by some other dumb ass? BTW, it’s called “faux outrage” because “fake outrage” doesn’t even cover the stupidity of it all.
I’m outraged about your faux outrage over faux outrage.
How is the outrage at Rosen’s statement concerning Mrs. Romney’s raising of five sons, “faux outrage.”
It seem that Ms. Rosen should think before she speaks; we are in awe that such stupidity exists. Raising five sons is real work, believe me. I come from a family of nine children and my mother did what I call “real work.”
I’ve called Rosen out here.
Here’s the point, Citizen… if you are wealthy working mom or a wealthy stay at home mom than you have it easier than the average working/stay at home mom. So if your mom raised nine children with the help of nannies, housekeepers, cooks, unlimited finances, etc. then did she really work as hard as a mom of nine without those things?
Unlike Republican Freudian gaffes, there is absolutely no evidence Rosen’s comments on Romney represents even a tiny fraction of the Democratic philosophy or agenda. On the other hand, when Mitt makes another one of his rich man’s gaffes, you know it is his core being shining through for him and his supporters.
Yet Republicans are pretending Rosen speaks for the entire Democratic party, and pretend not to see that the entire Democratic establishment is recoiling in revulsion (and not just because the reaction turned out badly). That is what makes it faux outrage.
Mom’s and most especially, stay-at-home moms (and dads), even if just for a short period of time ranging from months to a few years, perform THE most important work in all of society.
I also add in a kudos to stay-at-home grandmothers and grandfathers who chip-in with child-rearing duties, and thus saving the little ones from the potential ills of day care, while the dads and moms are busy at work.
“Here’s the point, Citizen… if you are wealthy working mom or a wealthy stay at home mom than you have it easier than the average working/stay at home mom.

Wait, why must class be brought into this? Why must everything be posited by money with you people?
First off, you’re assuming that wealthy people don’t do as much, while poorer people automatically do more. How do you know? What if the wealthy stay-at-home mom, on priciple, does everything herself? And the relatively poorer (upper/middle/lower middleclass) mom has a whole host of sisters, cousins, older children to help with the child-rearing duties?
Let’s just leave it as an ass-inine comment by an ass-inine person in Ms. Rosen…and move one to more substantive items.
Let’s say the wealthy working mom/stay at home mom and the non-wealthy working mom/stay at home mom are both good parents. Which one has it easier?
And I didn’t assume anything, I used the word “average” to describe working/stay at home moms.
Don’t get me wrong. I am a stay at home mom who considers herself fortunate with her finances. That makes a difference, and you know it, Que Pasa.
“Wait, why must class be brought into this? Why must everything be posited by money with you people?”
Because dumbasses like you want to pretend there are no class differences in the US, and we won’t let you.
“Mom’s and most especially, stay-at-home moms (and dads), even if just for a short period of time ranging from months to a few years, perform THE most important work in all of society.”
No, they don’t. Society existed for, well, most of its existence without “childhood” even entering anyone’s mind. Like most conservatives, you know only the history that buttresses your world view, and not a scintilla more.
Unless the same adjective was placed before the wealthy working/stay-at-home mom, the word “average” in your initial response makes no difference.
Regardless, all I know is…this bogus “War on Women” meme being coordinated through the DNC/ObamaCampaign/MSM has blown up big time. Try again.
“Society existed for, well, most of its existence without “childhood” even entering anyone’s mind.”
So the likes of Geezer would have us believe that prior to some romantic notion of “childhood” being invented, children sprang forth from their mothers’ wombs fully-formed individuals with no need of nuturing ready to take their place in society?
Don’t let your mind ponder the stupidy of Geezer’s ‘Lord of the Flies’ utopia for too long…
OF COURSE children need nuturing! And who better to do it than the child’s parents?!
Fucking low-effort thinking from the resident troll. Specious even. Typical (doesnt every con start their lame deflective retort with the same word?) loser con argument because they do not have a proper one.
No war on women? Wishful thinking, bra. Then why is the women vote a 20% diff in Obama’s favor? Are they just stupid and incapable to stop the all-powerful DNC/Obama Admin/MSM Jedi mind trick?
@QP “…this bogus “War on Women” meme being coordinated…”
Hey QP. Here’s a cartoon to help you “get it”.

Coordinated??? The Dems are just pointing out the obvious.
@QP–
Childhood as we know it is a relatively modern concept. My father was born in the early 1930s. He started working on a farm at age 8, as did his brothers. Not a single fuck was given about their precious “childhood”. Hell, the Amish put 3 year old boys to work hauling firewood in tiny wheelbarrows.
Doing work is still part of childhood, anon40.
Pick a better cartoon, LE. Like one that hightlights Democrat’s inherent ‘War on Female Babies’, i.e. ‘Women’, because not only are half of all abortions are done to female fetuses, but because you D-rats just loooove to keep that phony right 100% legal. Now don’t you?
Women typically run 10% or more with the D-rats. So 20%+/- isn’t that big a leap when made-up memes are plastered in concert all over the place. We’ll see where it is come November after all the demagogic mud has been slung and your side has nothing left but a failed presidency. Dipshit Ms. Rosen’s remarks can’t help matters.
The whiff of misogyny in the evening… sorta stinks, doesn’t it?
Phony right? Oh my.
“I also add in a kudos to stay-at-home grandmothers and grandfathers who chip-in with child-rearing duties, and thus saving the little ones from the potential ills of day care, while the dads and moms are busy at work.”
My wife and I had our kids, especially the younger one, in child care for most of their pre-kindergarten years and to me the worst part was the bill. Granted, they were there because they we both had to work, but I think the time they spent in child care was well spent. Both learned to interact with others, make friends, share, all that good stuff. Forced to spend hours away from us, they became quite capable of acting independently. I saw many positives in day care and few ills.
