Fox News contributor laments ‘mistake’ of letting women vote | The Raw Story

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a Fox News contributor, tea party activist and personal friend of Sean Hannity’s said in a sermon recently published to YouTube that America’s greatest mistake was allowing women the right to vote, adding that back in “the good old days, men knew that women are crazy and they knew how to deal with them.”

In his March sermon, Peterson adds that Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law student who recently spoke to a House Democratic hearing on contraception coverage, was actually revealing “all the sex” college students are having. “It’s really all about maintaining the freedom to kill babies in the womb,” he says. “Women are now degraded. Women have no shame.”

“I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote,” Peterson says. “We should’ve never turned this over to women. And these women are voting in the wrong people. They’re voting in people who are evil who agrees with them who’re gonna take us down this pathway of destruction.”

“And this probably was the reason they didn’t allow women to vote when men were men. Because men in the good old days understood the nature of the woman,” he adds. “They were not afraid to deal with it. And they understood that, you let them take over, this is what would happen.”

Very interesting read.

What do you think?

Christ, what an asshole.

 

[BonosSaint]

Not the first time I've heard that sentiment. That was pretty ugly though. It's always good to know where you stand with these people.

back in “the good old days, men knew that women are crazy and they knew how to deal with them.”

Ooooh, yeah, that's just the kind of talk that gets us silly women flocking to you men!

In his March sermon, Peterson adds that Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law student who recently spoke to a House Democratic hearing on contraception coverage, was actually revealing “all the sex” college students are having. “It’s really all about maintaining the freedom to kill babies in the womb,” he says. “Women are now degraded. Women have no shame.”

1. People other than college students use contraception, too. Married women use it, even!
2. "Killing babies in the womb"-um. No.
3. You're doing a fine enough job of degrading and shaming people yourself, buddy.

Such great company that channel is keeping, lemme tell ya .

the problems we are having today
we did not have before women got the vote.

We also did not have the Greek debt crisis before New Zealand was independent from the British Empire... David Cameron should obviously adapt recolonization of New Zealand as to his foreign policy.

 

[deep]

you got my point

Yeah, sorry everyone, everything's actually all our fault.

 

[Irvine511]

Also, the LOTR movie are way overrated, New Zealand.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I don't think he is alone in his opinions

Since he's a friend of Sean Hannity, is Sean going to demand that Sean denounce the opinions of his Reverend Wright-like friend? Or is it ok to defame and insult women, but not America and white men?

I'm too stupid to vote so I'm going to stop

 

[Jive Turkey]

I don't know how this is going to come off as a white male, but there's something very grating about someone whose race was only relatively recently granted a right, denouncing that right for a separate group of people... I don't particularly care how it comes off actually

 

[deep]

his opinions have less to do with his race or sex or sexual orientation,
to ascribe a belief or behavior to those 'non chosen attributes' is a common error


his beliefs have more to do with a 'life style choice' that each of us are free to make for ourselves

Hey, join the club, I don't exactly get that line of thinking, either.

 

[Irvine511]

well, given what's gone on in AZ and VA in regards to abortion rights, it does seem as if male GOP legislators think women are too stupid to understand what happens during an abortion.

so why on earth would we allow them to vote?

 

[yolland]

I can't see myself finding it less grating if it were a white man saying it.

Besides, you're talking about a guy who (per the article) also said, "One of the things that I would do is take all black people back to the South and put them on the plantation so they would understand the ethic of working."

I would just like to think, given his race's history, he would have a little more empathy. I hadn't read that quote though. Sheds a bit of light on his particular brand of wackjobdom

Excluding himself I presume.

Wow, he's got issues.

 

[ladyfreckles]

He takes the concept of "it was better in the old days" to the extreme. He doesn't ask the right questions. Is work ethic suffering in America? Yeah. But whose fault is that? There are a lot of parents that coddle their children and don't allow their kids to learn how the real world is. Spoiled brats that aren't willing to work for their money and want to get by on the least effort possible weren't born that way, they were made that way. Turning an entire race into slaves is not going to fix this.

 

[PhilsFan]

The kids aren't spoiled by their parents, for the most part. They're spoiled by the rhetoric of those who advertise the existence of an "American Dream."

I think they're more spoiled by the information overload and mass availability of media.

 

[Jive Turkey]

information overload

I think this is one of the greatest achievements of our time. Practically everything you could ever want to know is about 2 minutes away. If I ever find myself thinking or saying 'I don't know', 99 times out of 100, I'm looking it up later that day. We're the only generation in history to be able to say that

 

[deep]

the quality of the information is very suspect

we live in a time when one is able to quickly find the facts they desire to validate their views

Kids shouldn't have unrestricted access to information/the internet. A lot of them nowadays do. I see six-year-olds with their own laptops and the parents don't even try to monitor the history.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Kids shouldn't have unrestricted access to information

I get what you're saying, just this part I don't agree with

 

[Jive Turkey]

As long as you're not a lazy researcher, it's not difficult to find quality information

 

[ladyfreckles]

Children should not have unrestricted access to information. This can end badly in so many ways. Keep in mind when I say children I mean <12. It goes into a larger gray area then. Imagine a 6-year-old on 2005-esque 4chan. If kids have access to information, the parents need to be there going through it with them. I stand by this because there are a lot of things and ideas that can be put into the heads of children (who are still developing their skills in logic) that are really unhealthy if a parent isn't there to explain it. I don't believe any elementary school student has the right to go unwatched throughout the internet.

 

[Jive Turkey]

We're probably just arguing semantics then. When I say information, I'm talking about quality information, not the garbage on 4chan. With all the crap they could be spending their time taking in, if a kid would rather spend the time learning and exploring, what could be better? I wish I had access to all this when I was younger; My young brain cells could've been storing something useful instead of Mortal Kombat finishing moves (though I must say, they were useful at the time)

 

[cobl04]

I'm with you man. Luckily being younger than you whenever I've wanted to know something about the universe, all I've had to do us google it.

It's very easy for kids to end up places on the internet that are less than stellar (even if the intentions are innocent). I remember being seven and going on a video game fan website and ending up stumbling on some fan site full of hand drawn porn. Yeah. I remember back when the old format for forums was still in use and nothing was censored, porn bots could be anywhere, and people would constantly post rather obscene things ("You should just kill yourself!" along with other stuff).

If a kid wants to go on the internet and learn about space and NASA, be my guest, but I'll be monitoring their every move until they've earned the right to privacy.
