A Nation of Sandra Flukes
The tragedy for America is that she’s all too typical.
By Mark Steyn
According to Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke, invited to address the
Democratic convention and the nation, America faces a stark choice this
November. “During this campaign, we’ve heard about two profoundly
different futures that could await women in this country — and how one of
those futures looks like an offensive, obsolete relic of our past,” she
cautioned. “That future could become real.”
In one of those futures, women will be “shut out and silenced,” rape
victims will be “victimized all over again,” pregnant women will “die
preventable deaths in our emergency rooms,” and “access to birth control
is controlled by people who will never use it.” If you’re wondering where
all that is on your ballot form, just check the box marked “R.”
“We know what this America would look like,” warned Miss Fluke sternly. “
In a few short months, that’s the America that we could be. But that’s not
the America that we should be. And it’s not who we are.”
Fortunately, the America that we could be that isn’t the America that we
should be doesn’t have to be the America that we would be. The good news is
that “we’ve also seen another America that we could choose. In that
America, we’d have the right to choose,” said Miss Fluke. This would be “
an America in which our president, when he hears that a young woman has been
verbally attacked, thinks of his daughters, not his delegates or his donors
. And in which our president stands with all women. And strangers come
together, and reach out and lift her up. And then, instead of trying to
silence her, you invite me here, and you give me this microphone — to
amplify our voice. That’s the difference.”
So, if you’re looking for an America where strangers lift up Sandra Fluke
and amplify her voice, that would be the box marked “D.”
“I’ve seen what these two futures look like,” she said. “And six months
from now, we’re all going to be living in one future, or the other. But
only one.” Because you can’t have two futures simultaneously, even under
Obamacare.
With respect to Sandra Fluke, I think there’s a third future looming. The
paperback edition of my book comes out in a week or so, and you can pretty
much get the gist of it from the title: After America. For me, the likely
scenario isn’t that the Republicans will be terrorizing rape victims or
that the Democrats will finally pass the necessary legislation to make
contraception available for the contraceptively starved millions crying out
for it, but that America will be sliding off the cliff — literally, as Joe
Biden would literally say. And when America slides off the cliff it lands
with a much bigger thud than Greece or Iceland. I’m not certain that the
Republicans will be able to prevent that happening. But I know that the
Democrats can’t. America owes more money than anybody has ever owed anyone
in the history of the planet. But millions of Americans don’t see it, and
millions of those who do see it don’t see it as a problem.
Sandra Fluke is one of them. She completed her education a few weeks ago —
at the age of 31, or Grade 25. Before going to Georgetown, she warmed up
with a little light B.S. in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from
Cornell. She then studied law at one of the most prestigious institutions in
the nation, where tuition costs 50 grand a year. The average starting
salary for a Georgetown Law graduate is $160,000 per annum — first job,
first paycheck.
So this is America’s best and brightest — or, at any rate, most
expensively credentialed. Sandra Fluke has been blessed with a quarter-
million dollars of elite education, and, on the evidence of Wednesday night,
is entirely incapable of making a coherent argument. She has enjoyed the
leisurely decade-long varsity once reserved for the minor sons of
Mitteleuropean grand dukes, and she has concluded that the most urgent need
facing the Brokest Nation in History is for someone else to pay for the
contraception of 30-year-old children. She says the choice facing America is
whether to be “a country where we mean it when we talk about personal
freedom, or one where that freedom doesn’t apply to our bodies and our
voices” — and, even as the words fall leaden from her lips, she doesn’t
seem to comprehend that Catholic institutions think their “voices” ought
to have freedom, too, or that Obamacare seizes jurisdiction over “our
bodies” and has 16,000 new IRS agents ready to fine us for not making
arrangements for “our” pancreases and “our” bladders that meet the
approval of the commissars. Sexual liberty, even as every other liberty
withers, is all that matters: A middle-school girl is free to get an
abortion without parental consent, but if she puts a lemonade stand on her
lawn she’ll be fined. What a bleak and reductive concept of “personal
freedom.”
America is so broketastically brokey-broke that one day, in the grim future
that could be, society may even be forced to consider whether there is any
meaningful return on investment for paying a quarter-million bucks to send
the scions of wealth and privilege to school till early middle age to study
Reproductive Justice. But, as it stands right now, a Cornell and Georgetown
graduate doesn’t understand the central reality of the future her elders
have bequeathed her. There’s no “choice” in the matter. It’s showing up
whatever happens in November. All the election will decide is whether
America wants to address that reality, or continue to live in delusion —
like a nation staggering around with a giant condom rolled over its
collective head.
Any space aliens prowling through the rubble of our civilization and
stumbling upon a recording of the convention compatible with Planet Zongo
DVD players will surely marvel at the valuable peak airtime allotted to
Sandra Fluke. It was weird to see her up there among the governors and
senators — as weird as Bavarians thought it was when King Ludwig decided to
make his principal advisor Lola Montez, the Irish-born “Spanish dancer”
and legendary grande horizontale. I hasten to add I’m not saying Miss Fluke
is King Barack’s courtesan. For one thing, it’s a striking feature of the
Age of Perfected Liberalism that modern liberals talk about sex 24/7 while
simultaneously giving off the persistent whiff that the whole thing’s a bit
of a chore. Hence, the need for government subsidy. And, in fairness to
Miss Montez, she used sex to argue for liberalized government, whereas Miss
Fluke uses liberalism to argue for sexualized government.
But those distinctions aside, like Miss Fluke Miss Montez briefly wielded an
influence entirely disproportionate to her talents. Like Miss Fluke, she
was a passionate liberal activist who sought to diminish what she regarded
as the malign influence of the Catholic Church. Taking up with Lola cost
King Ludwig his throne in the revolutions of 1848. We’ll see in a couple of
months whether taking up with Sandra works out for King Barack. But what’s
strange is that so many people don’t find it strange at all — that at a
critical moment in the affairs of the republic the ruling party should
assemble to listen to a complacent 31-year-old child of privilege peddling
the lazy cobwebbed assumptions of myopic narcissism. Lola Montez was what
botanists would call a “sport” — morphologically distinct from the rest
of the societal shrub. The tragedy for America is that Sandra Fluke is all
too typical.

关于福禄克，你要么提供避孕套，要么提供堕胎，要么提供领养。

没有福利 -> 抢劫增多 -> 养更多的警察 -> 把强盗抓进监狱 -> 纳税人养着
简单问问啥时候我们讨论问题的时候能往中间靠，少举点左和右极端的例子。 | d*****s
发帖数: 5610 | 4 关键就在于，
用纳税人钱多养警察，多开监狱
还是
给穷人一定基本生活费
其实这里很多人还不喜欢警察工会那，当然真正聪明的共和党人是不会说警察工会不好
的。他们需要警察保护他们。

发帖数: 29846 | 5 哈哈,这个不是明显的强盗逻辑嘛? 你不免费给我,我就强抢,所以你还是免费给我吧.
如果一个人是残老病障,那么给福利还有道理.一个大活人健健康康,但整天就是不干活,
也不找工作,外面瞎逛,抽大麻.然后伸手要福利,你不给他,他要去抢. 这种人死了算了.
不劳动者不得食,这个道理懂嘛?

帮你拓展一下：
懒人勒索福利 -> giveatry吓坏交钱了事 ->
懒人得寸进尺勒索新福利 -> giveatry吓坏交钱了事 ->
懒人再得寸进尺勒索新福利 -> giveatry吓坏交钱了事 ->

懒人再得寸进尺勒索新福利 -> giveatry吓坏交钱了事 ->

懒人再得寸进尺勒索新福利 -> giveatry被掏空破产，加入懒人勒索他人。
你就是个割地求和的投降派。流氓无产者们就是要勒索你这种糊涂虫软蛋。
