Poem Title:
Poem
...They proclaimed that we ‘oppressed women,’ it’s the refrain of loud femenists, forgetting that before birth control nature gave us little choice in this. That before we had technology, when life meant brutal, physical work, that there just weren’t all that many jobs physically weaker women could work. They forget that the woman’s franchise arose on America’s frontier, that we blazed the path for suffrage, their equality started right here. Now why would a nation do all that if they cared so little for females? If we sought to be patriarchal then I dare say the strategy failed. And yet the left keeps raging about rights which women have been long endowed, Why should we buy all their self-hatred when there’s so much for which to be proud? And worst of all these fools like to claim, that we’ve learned nothing, it’s all the same, which I think is a sure sign that they have something dreadful wrong in their brains. We look at our mistakes all the time, we brood endless on our sins and scars, America lacks no self-reflection, if anything we take it too far! We get so obsessed with all our wrongs that we think they drown out all the right, we selfishly think it’s all our fault, then of the truth we sadly lose sight. Many cultures can’t ask such questions, ask the Turks about past genocides, or see if Communist China will own up to all the Uighurs that died. You don’t see many Japanese kids who know about the rape of Nanking, yet every American does know that Wounded Knee was a horrible thing. Why should we regret a culture that tries to learn rather than disavow? Our growing should not bring self-hatred, to be honest, it should make us proud. In the end, these issues are smokescreens, thrown up to keep good people off track, the left wants us all to hate ourselves because self-hating folk rarely fight back. There’s no logic behind what they hate, hell, it changes hour-to-hour, what unifies all these self-hatreds is whether it will bring them power. That’s really what’s behind all of this, like some grand Machiavellian scheme, to make free people into peasants they first must be cut down and demeaned. In truth, they don’t like Americans, they don’t like people who stand unbowed, so reject their vile self-hatred, embrace all the things that make us proud.
