    Ted Cruz's Dream Cabinet: Values Voter Summit Speakers Ready To Serve In The Cruz WH

    And the affection seems to be mutual. If Cruz were to win the presidency in 2016, we imagine that his cabinet would look a lot like this week’s Values Voter Summit lineup.


    So, we’ve decided to help Cruz out and pick him out a “dream cabinet” consisting exclusively of Values Voter Summit speakers.




    Tony Perkins, Secretary of Homosexuality


    Mike Huckabee, Secretary of Women’s Issues


    Sandy Rios, Secretary of Chain Emails


    Michele Bachmann, Secretary of Truth


    Sarah Palin, Secretary of Syntax


    Todd Starnes, Secretary of Scam Artistry


    Jerry Boykin, Secretary of Islam

    Perfect matches!

    National Review Writer: Women Who Have Abortions Should Be Hanged

    Kevin Williamson, a correspondent for National Review, suggested Monday that women who have abortions should be hanged.

    Williamson's tweet came in a back-and-forth on twitter that started with Williamson's piececriticizing a blog post by actress and director Lena Dunham on why women should vote.

    The key part of the exchange was captured by Charles Johnson of the blog Little Green Footballs. Here is the exchange:

    Well, it was funny till cigar posted and changed the topic.

    Here's the Williamson piece, now that the topic has changed:

    Five Reasons Why You’re Too Dumb to Vote

    If you would like to be filled with despair for the prospects of democracy, spend a few minutes attempting to decipher the psephological musings of Lena Dunham, the distinctly unappealing actress commissioned by Planned Parenthood to share with her presumably illiterate following “5 Reasons Why I Vote (and You Should, Too).” That’s 21st-century U.S. politics in miniature: a half-assed listicle penned by a half-bright celebrity and published by a gang of abortion profiteers.

    It is an excellent fit, if you think about it: Our national commitment to permanent, asinine, incontinent juvenility, which results in, among other things, a million or so abortions a year, is not entirely unrelated to the cultural debasement that is the only possible explanation for the career of Lena Dunham. A people mature enough to manage the relationship between procreative input and procreative output without recourse to the surgical dismemberment of living human organisms probably would not find much of interest in the work of Miss Dunham. But we are a nation of adult children so horrified by the prospect of actual children that we put one in five of them to death for such excellent reasons as the desire to fit nicely into a prom dress.

    It’s not for nothing that, on the precipice of 30, Miss Dunham is famous for a television series called Girls rather than one called Women. She might have gone one better and called it Thumbsuckers. (The more appropriate title Diapers would terrify her demographic.)

    Miss Dunham, reflecting celebrity culture at large, makes a fetish of voting, and it is easy to see why: Voting is the most shallow gesture of citizenship there is, the issuance of a demand — a statement that “this is how the world should be,” as Miss Dunham puts it — imposing nothing in the way of reciprocal responsibility. Power without responsibility — Stanley Baldwin would not have been surprised that Miss Dunham and likeminded celebrities think of voting in terms of their sex lives. Miss Dunham, in an earlier endorsement of Barack Obama, compared voting in the presidential election to losing one’s virginity — you want it to be someone special. Understood that way, voting is nothing other than a reiteration of the original infantile demand: “I Want!”

    ...
    Here's some of Lena Dunham's piece:

    5 Reasons Why I Vote (and You Should Too)

    [img][/img]

    This is me after I voted in 2012. It was better than my college graduation and the time I went to the Hershey factory combined! AKA extremely wonderful. On that same day, my father voted, my 100-year-old great aunt voted (RIP Doris), Beyonce voted. It made this whole great nation feel wonderfully small.

    Here are the reasons I vote.

    1. When you vote, you feel so, so good....

    2. I find it incredibly, deeply satisfying that every single vote is exactly equal....

    3. The crazy and depressing truth is that there are people running for office right now who could actually affect your life....

    4. I vote because the number of backwards, out-of-touch, downright freaking unbelievably anti-women’s health politicians out there right now makes my blood boil....

    5. Voting is kind of a gateway drug to “getting involved.”...

    Single women have trouble finding husbands that even their low standards in men could accept.

    so they see Uncle Sam as the man they need to take care of them.

    and that usually means voting for democrats.

    Yep, that's exactly what makes them vote Democrat. Belittling statements like this have nothing to do with it.

    The most belittling part about it is that its true.

    single women choose Uncle Sam as their surrogate husband.

    That's BS, although I agree it is an odd development. Several I know live at home or moved back home, others eventually married and again oddly often not the father. Some were some useless slugs. I just heard of one this past weekend which surprised the heck outta me. Given contraception devices etc, why this is so prevalent is beyond me and by the way half the ones I know personally or casually are republicans. Article below says it is the new normal, maybe women have given up on men?
