Exit polling from the Michigan primary proved conclusively what many of us already know. That women are falling in lockstep behind Hillary Clinton en masse and many will be voting Democrat come November of this year. It's no secret that in past elections, women have been responsible for the election of Democrat presidents such as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. In fact, it has been opined by Ann Coulter that only one Democrat would have been elected president after 1920 had women never been given the right to vote. Now, I'm not saying that women's suffrage was a mistake but I am saying that they are responsible for electing some real doozies as our president over the years. Women better get on the ball here and start looking at the future of their country, start INFORMING THEMSELVES OF THE CHALLENGES WE FACE and make the right choices. The biggest challenge we face as a nation is the downhill slide of our culture and women are in the middle of it! Read on.

I have gradually become convinced that the unraveling of American culture is inextricably tied to the downhill slide of American women. In 50 years, we have gone from "Rosie the Riveter", the quintessential symbol of American industriousness and toughness to Anna Nicole Smith, a deplorable symbol of female opportunism and debauchery. This parallels closely, the conduct of such personalities as Nicole Richie, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and that pinnacle of personal behavior, Paris Hilton.
At a previous time in American history, women were its BACKBONE! The term "matriarch" meant a family butt kicker, who kept order, meted out discipline, managed the family finances and made sure the family was sound. Today, who knows that the term means and I don't think it's even used anymore. Does anyone reading this blog know if it truly applies to women in today's society?
How has this transformation occurred in a short 50 years? Well, I have my theories and they have to do with legislation from our state and federal congressman. Over the years, these folks have made laws in such a way as to shield women from the "unlimited oppression" of the American male. Policies on divorce, child custody, alimony and sexual harrassment have been crafted in such a way, that women are favored over men in almost every case! Thus, politicians who care ONLY about being re-elected, can brag about these achievements each time their favorite demographic approach the ballot box in November. Think about it, doesn't it make sense to ensure that your "bread is buttered" in a political sense? If you know that women vote in massive numbers, you would be STUPID not to write laws which favor this demographic!
So, how do we fix the problems with American women that we face today? Well, any fix will take a long time, perhaps generations to accomplish. After all, we took 50 years to get where we are today so we can't repair such deterioration overnight. A good step for our politicians, to cut their pandering nature off at the knees, is to pursue TERM LIMITS legislation. Once you take the career element out of legislating, the entire focus changes forever. Term limits were tried in 1995 but The Father of 9/11 vetoed them, for your info. Besides any legislative changes, the citizenry of America can engage this problem by talking about it and not taking part in furthering it. Avoid women who exhibit a lack of character in their daily life and report those who don't meet their daily obligations as mothers to the appropriate authorities. Female entertainers who set a terrible example like the ones I listed above should be abandoned so that they cannot sell a record or sell a seat at a concert.
The effort to reform our sick and broken society begins with EACH ONE OF US. The only requirement to join the fight is that you must care to take an honest look at what is going on and come up with an informed opinion.
