“At least Hitler could draw a crowd.” So says Stephen Green, to the news that Sandra Fluke is a candidate for Time‘s Person of the Year.
I’m going to break with my fellow astonished conservatives and praise Time‘s choice. I can think of no better person to represent the current zeitgeist of the culture than Sandra Fluke.
Miss Fluke, a 30-something law student at one of the most prestigious universities in the nation, shot to fame when she testified before Congress that yes, people such as herself should be given free stuff. Never mind that nothing in this world is free, and never mind that some people might object to being forced to pay for the lifestyle choices of others. Never mind all of that, just give me stuff. Never mind that my demand for free stuff violates other people’s freedom of conscience. Just give it to me, and shut up.
Upon graduation, Fluke can expect to make more money in one year than many Americans can expect to make in several years. Economic hardship is not in her future. If she goes the route of becoming a public face of the Democrats in one way or another, she can expect not only money but real power and influence. She will be granted these things not because of anything she achieved, and not because she is unusually persuasive, but because she is forthright in saying that she is entitled to it all, and more. This entitlement mentality is a threat to the country’s fiscal health, but never mind that.
People like Sandra Fluke re-elected Barack Obama to the presidency. She is the perfect choice for Person of the Year.
It’s appropriate.
After the last election I’ve drawn the conclusion that we are all Fluked anyway…
I wish you were wrong. I truly wish I could find something to argue with in this post, but I can’t.
I suspect that we’ll be seeing “I’m Sandra Fluke and I approve this message” sometime in the future. First congress, then who knows.
Just for God’s sake keep her out of the “Got Milk” commercials!
The unsaid/subliminal connotation I got about her is that she just loves her ‘some cream’.
But it’s gotta be Human in origin, and she isn’t shy about a supplier.
Although you’d hafta be kinda’ blind to get anywhere close to ‘Her Nibs’.
Look for her in a Summers Eve Commercial, dancing at the end
& “feeling refreshed” . Maybe a series of them with all the guys running away, rapidly, into a setting sun.
Three Grand a year? Take one look and ask yourself if ‘that would happen’?
MeSays : No
I think Rush Limbaugh got it right — the first time! The really awful part is that there are so many more where she came from. Zeitgeist, indeed!
It could definitely happen. The guys looking for love, LTR and marriage are not interested but if you need somewhere to go at 2AM when the bars close she is perfectly acceptable. Just remember the one-night-stand rule; “don’t be a fool, vulcanize your tool!” And if you are a fan of the golfer-in-chief wear two in case you get a hole in one.
This is deserving of condom-nation.
She is the perfect representation of what we have become.
Why not just make the vagina person of the year?
Flukie…Flukie…lend me your foam…
“Miss Fluke, a 30-something law student at one of the most prestigious universities in the nation, shot to fame when she testified before Congress that yes, people such as herself should be given free stuff”
Not quite true. She did not testify before Congress. It was an ersazt, Democrat only stunt, because she was an unqualified last second substitute for a real witness that the GOP wisely blocked from testifying in the real hearing.
Which makes her even more qualified to be Time’s bozo of the year.
– and the now equally liberal National Geographic magazine are down to offering subscription rates of a dollar or so a month. They will soon join Newsweek, Air America, the Nobel Peace Prize and such on the heap of history.
maybe a dual award.
Fluke and the Indian princess from Massachusetts.
Flukahontas? Flukawatha? Or Big Fluke Sitting Bull?
Shouldn’t that be Big Fluke Bull Sitting?
(Big Fluke Cow Sitting just doesn’t have the right ring to it)
….is more accurate!
Hahahaha. Liberals are truly demented. What I see as failure they trumpet as success. That’s why they’ll destroy America within 50 years.
Let’s make it a couple and add science fiction writer John Scalzi. If there were ever a couple of PC morons that deserved the Time “honor,” it would be those two.
Late breaking news: heaven is now hell.
Why give media-whore and just plain whore Fluke any more attention than she already has?
So, this is what we have become as A Nation. This spinster, who is on no one’s Top 100 list of Women To Do Today is possibly gonna’ be a headliner.
In every Magazine Rack and Progressive mailbox in the country.
What is fricken next?
“Chelsea Clinton, as you’ve never seen her before” (?)
“Meaghan McCain, what a babe!” (?)
“Who’d YOU Rather, Pelosi or Rosa DeLauro?”
We should live so long…..
I’ll repost this from The Belmont Club. I never thought about person of the year. I guess I must be psychic.
Back in 1983 I was in a shopping mall with a friend, a Jewish girl, and a woman walked past us, striding confidently. She was wearing olive drab shorts and a tan shirt, her long black hair in a ponytail, all in all looking rather military.
My friend pointed to her, “See her? She looks like an Israeli. I wish I was like that.”
I was surprised. My friend originally came from New Jersey. Her father was a college professor. She was of a definite liberal bent, although not extremely so. But she respected the image of the Israeli woman, even if she had no evidence that the woman so dressed was for real.
Now today, the image presented to the world of young American woman is that of Sandra Fluke, claiming it was unreasonable for her to pay for birth control herself. And the image is that of that twit doing that “voting for Obama is like having sex” video.
What say you, ladies? I think the image of the Israeli woman is pretty much unchanged from 1982. The events of the last few weeks tend to reinforce it. But, as for me, if my image had been distorted the way the Democrats did to that of young American woman, I would be madder than hell.
And let me add that hanging on the wall in my home is a framed picture of a memorial to a friend of mine. She was the first female officer killed while in training to be a flight test engineer at Edwards AFB. I went to her memorial service; complete with jets flying over, it was like something right out of The Right Stuff. It was one of the most moving experinces of my life. You could have held her kind up as an example; instead you chose the Sanda Flukes of the USA as your idol. How do you like that?
