Firebrand conservative women fill girlie-man vacuum

The lack of courageous real men in American conservative politics is one of the main reasons why there has been so little success among Christian conservatives in the U.S.

Some real women, however, are appearing to fill the void as the following article notes. These bold, confident, hard-core conservatives are a breathe of fresh air. Let’s hope, though, that while we enjoy the contributions these women make to Christian conservative politics, we continue to seek the development of real men to take their necessary place in leadership for an ethical and righteous America.

The new wave of female firebrands striking fear into liberal America
By Paul Harris in New York

She is a striking brunette with a decidedly outspoken attitude. She lambasts President Barack Obama as a socialist and has become the darling of America’s right-wing activists who flock to her appearances. She is hated by liberals and loved by conservatives.

Sarah Palin? Not quite. Meet Michele Bachmann, a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota who is being hailed as a new and increasingly powerful voice in American politics.

Bachmann, at 53, is a darling of the so-called Tea Party movement, which has campaigned vociferously against healthcare reform, the economic stimulus package and legislation to combat climate change. Her followers have been behind mass rallies in Washington and smaller ones all over the country. She has emerged as one of the most visible politicians in America, frequently appearing on the conservative Fox News channel, whose hosts often champion her causes.

She is part of an increasingly visible “female brand” of conservatism that is rising in America in the wake of the election of Obama. They include notable syndicated commentators such as Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter, whose dislike for liberals has grown ever more shrill in recent months. And, of course, Palin herself. She is still a giant of the political and media landscape and next week embarks on a book tour to sell her autobiography. It has already sparked a media frenzy, with a heavily hyped appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s show, and become a huge bestseller on pre-orders alone.

    That’s what happens the Baraks (Book of Judges) of the world lose courage, the Deborahs show up to fill the void.

    In the sixth century Roman Empire, Emperor Justinian’s wife Empress Theodora single-handedly re-codified Roman family law to be explicitly Christian in the Code of Justinian. This established the foundation for family law in all of western civilization, which we are now seeing attackeded by sexual revolutionaries.
