The Shut Up Factor

Michelle Malkin attacks Sally Field:

"If mothers ruled the, ruled the world, there would be no god-damned wars in the first place," Field bleated. In the Gidget Guide to Parenting, mothers are appeasers and hand-holders. Our maternal instincts supposedly lead us to shun fights and coddle bullies instead of disciplining them.

There would be "no god-damned wars," Silly Sally, because we'd all be conquered chattel if Field Diplomacy "ruled the world."

Motherhood and peace-making are not synonymous. Motherhood requires ferocity, the will and resolve to protect one's own children at all costs, and a life-long commitment to sacrifice for a family's betterment and survival. Conflict avoidance is incompatible with good mothering.

On the playground of life, Sally Field is the mom who looks the other way when the brat on the elementary school slide pushes your son to the ground or throws dirt in your daughter's face.

She's the mom who holds her tongue at the mall when thugs spew profanities and make crude gestures in front of her brood. She's the mom who tells her child never to point out when a teacher gets her facts wrong.

She's the mom who buys her teenager beer, condoms and a hotel room on prom night, because she'd rather give in than assert her parental authority and do battle.

She's the mom whose minivan sports insipid bumper stickers preaching non-intervention at all costs: "Peace is patriotic." "War is not the answer." "It Will Be a Great Day When Our Schools Get All the Money They Need and the Air Force Has to Hold a Bake Sale to Buy a Bomber."

Wow. Quite a lot to read into an entire single sentence.
Smells like despair. Pathetic despair.

I'm resorting to a new low by quoting this bullshit but I'm bored & not ready to go to bed.
I wonder if I was as non-threatening as the aliens invading from La-La Land and I said something along the lines of "Michelle Malkin has a tub of shit where her head ought to be," what she could tell me about my views on the death penalty and local school board elections.

I would love to hear an instant stereotype of myself from such a worthy propagandist. Alas, I am less than a mere insignificant La-La Lander...

Whatever happened to the glory days when Gidget became mother to Forrest Gump whom Newt Gingrich considered the perfect American?
Why pick on Gidget? Surely Malkin can take on the moral authority of any Flying Nuns or the fed-up sweat shop antics of any damned Norma Rae?

My guess is that Malkin reluctantly admires Norma Rae but can't cope with the difference in political opinion.
