I always feel that I have walked into some kind of Twilight Zone when I read this sort of thing. I am a conservative, I am also a 56 year old woman. I didn’t burn my bra back when – but I didn’t wear it much, either. I didn’t become a feminist, either – just living a really great life in a free country. I agreed with some of the feminist ideas, disagreed with others. I agree with some things people term liberal while think the general mindset of modern Liberalism is philosophically a dead end – and here is my problem :

NOW the democrats/liberals are saying that:
1. Christianity is a lot of nonsense & we should do away with Christmas, Easter and the like, Christ is a myth & the religion a delusion … now, Christian women – women like me- have all kinds of rights. We can vote, own property,divorce in most Christian sects, marry who we want, don’t get stoned for sin, wear what ever we want & be Christians, we pay our taxes on time and obey the laws of the land – my life isn’t that far off from what feminism spoke of back in the 60′s as a good life.
2. But they also say : That we must respect the Muslim religion, even making special times and places for them in our gyms etc. A priest in the Anglican church said England will have to come to terms, even adopt Sharia law. It is becoming increasingly hard to criticize Islam for its human rights abuses without being called bigot, paranoid, and sued or even killed, world-wide.
3. They are against any war against the Muslim extremists – people, who would destroy everything that modern Liberalism has been working for since the turn of the LAST century – that’s the 20th, people.
And this is only the tip of this massive iceberg.. does anyone see Liberalism setting itself up for a really big fall, does anyone besides me (and my husband) suspect that they are setting themselves to be the first people beheaded when Sharia law becomes the law? Do they really believe that Sharia law can live in peace with modern liberalism? Like I said, Liberalism isn’t thinking itself through any longer, its all feelings and trying just to be nice & accommodating but why accommodate a religion that is against everything you believe in, while despising a religion that is very close to your ideas? .. Making special places and times for women is segregation, accommodating one religion while trying to destroy the creditability of another is giving one religion preferential treatment.
Are liberals just plain crazy? Or are they in the Catch-22 that their philosophy has created for them?
Doomed, is what they are. They are digging their own graves -some poor generation in the future will harvest what liberals have sown in ours, and, Lord, do I pity them!
As for me, I am 56 – I don’t suspect I will see the outcome of this era (in 50 or 60 years)???, but I will bet you its going to be very interesting – and, I suspect, even bloody.
