Which you also get to pay for, as part of being an American.<\/p>\n<p>So there.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Somebody named Joe Palazzola wrote on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/law\/2012\/03\/02\/georgetown-law-gets-behind-sandra-fluke\/\" target=\"_blank\">WSJ Law Blog\u00a0<\/a>that \u201cGeorgetown Law Gets Behind Sandra Fluke.\u201d \u00a0That\u2019s NOT FUNNY, Joe.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of all good and decent males in these United States, I just want to say how truly hurt and sorry I am that my favorite talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, used such a hurtful and offensive word to refer to Ms. Fluke.<\/p>\n<p>Please accept my sincere apologies, Women of America.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, I will do the dishes. Coming! Right now.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Ms. Fluke turns out to be a 31 year old feminist Reproductive Rights activist with a Linkedin page showing a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/sandra-fluke\/1\/324\/278\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cLaw Practice\u201d in the \u201cLos Angeles Area.\u201d\u00a0<\/a>I didn\u2019t realize that law school students have law practices, but if she didn\u2019t have one before, she will soon, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>But Ms. Fluke is definitely NOT a SLUT.<\/p>\n<p>Modern English has been around since William Shakespeare, but conservatives can no longer use the language. We can\u2019t say \u201cladies,\u201d because there are only \u201cwomen.\u201d We can\u2019t say \u201cgirls,\u201d because there are only \u201cpre-adolescents of the female gender.\u201d We can\u2019t say \u201cslut,\u201d because Slut Walks are only for leftists protesting the patriarchal tyranny. We can certainly not use Shakespeare\u2019s own words for sexually enlightened women.<\/p>\n<p>Even Obama seized the moment to call Sandra and apologize to her on behalf of all the good people of America for the unbearable insult she received in defense of women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>How did he get her phone number so fast, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve got a dirty mind.<\/p>\n<p>This is a sterling moment in American history. It\u2019s about time Rush and his male chauvinist porkers learned that lesson!<\/p>\n<p>And just to make sure the nation remembers this moment for a long time to come, I propose that we immortalize Sandra Fluke\u2019s heroic stand by adopting the name \u201cfluke\u201d to refer to any and all federally-protected gender-related activities in all liberal categories, including M, F, B, G, L, and T.<\/p>\n<p>This will immensely\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/02\/27\/us-marine-kissing-his-boyfriend-photo_n_1303848.html\" target=\"_blank\">simplify our language<\/a>.

Instead of having to use both thumbs to laboriously text Mom \u201cCan\u2019t come home tonight, putting my body on the line against the NYPD pigs and fat-cat capitalists\u201d they can just type.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFluking!

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
