ATTENTION: We interrupt this blog for a public service announcement - Kirk Cameron is STILL an idiot!

Fox News' Outnumbered Helps Kirk Cameron Lecture Women On Christmas Etiquette And Accepting Sexism (oh yes).

Fox News' Outnumbered helped Kirk Cameron justify his recent instruction to women on proper etiquette during the Christmas season, a defense that offers a glimpse into what drives Cameron and the network's campaign against the imaginary War on Christmas.
Cameron, an evangelical Christian made famous for his role in ABC's Growing Pains, took to Facebook on November 13 to instruct women on the necessity of remaining joyful this Christmas while cooking and decorating the home so as not to ruin the holiday for their families. Cameron was promoting his new Christmas movie, Saving Christmas, which promises take a stand against people "who really want to put a big wet blanket on" Christmas by saying 'Happy Holidays' or opposing Christmas plays in schools. In his post, Cameron directed women, "The joy of the mom is her children's strength, so don't let anything steal your joy ... Let your children, your family, see your joy in the way you decorate your home this Christmas, in the food that you cook, the songs you sing, the stories you tell, and the traditions that you keep."
Cameron's remarks received widespread criticism, but he defended his lecture the next day on Fox News' Outnumbered. Rejecting the characterization that he was directing women not to work outside the home, Cameron told his female co-hosts that he was merely praising stay-at-home mothers for their work and sacrifice.
Co-host Sandra Smith assured Cameron that even though some women perceived his remarks to be offensive, "I know what you meant by it, and I believe in what you said." Hosts Andrea Tantaros and Kirsten Powers meanwhile expressed sympathy for Cameron and asked how he handled having his words twisted and sensationalized by media outlets.

Cameron's proposed solution to saving Christmas -- a smiling mother making food for her family -- adopts a striking 1950s pop culture view of motherhood, families, and our nation as a "Christian" country. It's not surprising Cameron's fantasy found safe harbor on Outnumbered as his view is echoed in Fox's annual crusade against the imaginary War on Christmas. Bill O'Reilly has already waged his first battle of the 2014 Christmas season, railing against losing "all our traditions" to Muslims and other religions and last year, Megyn Kelly infamously argued that both Jesus Christ and Santa Claus were white. Outnumbered's defense of Cameron's view of motherhood at Christmastime offers a window into what Fox's War on Christmas is really about -- the desire to return to a fictional past full of all-white, Leave It To Beaver families.
Earlier in the Fox program, Cameron similarly dismissed concerns about sexism in politics. Weighing in on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's recent remarks that women are held to a different standard in politics, often subjected to demeaning questions about age and qualifications, Cameron argued that Pelosi and other women in politics are just getting what they've asked for:
CAMERON: I just think it's funny that when someone wants to be treated equally with men, someone wants to be treated like one of the guys, not differently, and then they're treated the way men treat other men, which tends to be kind of rough, it's just a little awkward when they then complain that someone threw an elbow.

Some Delicious Clarity From Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren


Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to solve a real, honest-to-God problem.


Our health care system was broken. 48 million people in this country had no health insurance. Women couldn't get access to cancer screenings. People with diabetes were denied health insurance because of pre-existing conditions. People with cancer hit the caps on their health insurance spending. And health spending in this country was growing far too fast. 


So we worked hard, we compromised, and we came up with a solution. A solution that will substantially improve the lives of millions of Americans – because that's the way a democracy works. 


It's time to end the debate about whether the Affordable Care Act should exist and whether it should be funded.


Congress voted for this law. President Obama signed this law. The Supreme Court upheld this law. The President ran for reelection on this law. His opponent said he would repeal it – and his opponent lost by five million votes.


Right now, Republicans are taking the government and the economy hostage, threatening serious damage to both unless the President agrees to gut the Affordable Care Act. For days, they even tried to change the law so that employers can deny women access to birth control coverage.


I am the mother of a daughter and the grandmother of granddaughters. I will never vote to let a group of backward-looking ideologues cut women's access to birth control. We have lived in that world, and we are not going back. Not ever.


I see things like this and I wonder what alternate reality some of my colleagues are living in.


So let me be very clear about what is happening in the real world: The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Millions of people are counting on it – people who need health care coverage, people who need insurance policies that don't disappear just when they are sickest.


The law is here to stay, and it will stay.


Now the government is shut down. We haven't fixed the sequester because of all the obstruction. We haven't finished a budget because of all the obstruction. We haven't even passed a single appropriations bill because of all the obstruction.


The least we can do – the bare minimum we can do – would be to pass a "continuing resolution" to open the doors back up and turn the lights back on. We could ensure that over a million federal workers aren't staying home for no reason. We could end the government shutdown.


But the Republicans have refused to do even that. They have shuttered the government unless the President agreed to de-fund the Affordable Care Act.


The threats may continue, but they are not working and they never will. In a democracy, hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can't win their fights through elections, can't win their fights in Congress, can't win their fights for the Presidency, and can't win their fights in Courts.


For this right-wing minority, hostage-taking is all they have left – a last gasp of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracy.


The time has come for those legislators who cannot cope with the reality of our democracy to get out of the way – so that those of us in BOTH parties can get back to working on solving the real problems faced by the American people.


We have real work to do.

HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR IQ POINTS, FOLKS!



Fans of THE VIEW breath a heavy sigh of relief as the intellectually challenged folks at FOX and FRIENDS welcome their newest member - the departing VIEW co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. IQ's of Fox's morning viewers (already in jeopardy from the complete and utter idiotic ramblings of Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade) will face a new hurdle to truth as THE VIEW's lone conservative ex-host (with the least on her mind) replaces the departing anti-matter that is Gretchen Carlson, who moves on to an anchoring position on her own one-hour daytime show. Have mercy on us all.

DEMAND A PLAN to put a stop to the madness


Roxanna Green’s nine-year-old daughter Christina-Taylor was shot and killed in Tucson, AZ on January 8, 2011. Please take a minute to watch and share her powerful message with your friends and family.

It’s time. Join more than 800 mayors and 900,000 grassroots supporters to demand that President Obama and Congress step forward with a plan to end gun violence.

We can prevent future tragedies by passing common sense legislation that will:

1.Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America

2.Ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines

3.Make gun trafficking a federal crime, with real penalties for “straw purchasers”

Demand that your members of Congress and the president support these legislative priorities.
