A relevant blast from the past:
Author S. E. Cupp speaks during a panel discussion, "Awakening Conservative Women," at CPAC 2011.
Sometimes I'm asked by the media what I think of an issue as a woman. I usual answer "I don't know, let me ask my uterus". I like to think that the beauty of the conservative movement and ideals is that they appeal to everyone- women, men, youth, elderly, minorities, gay, straight, religious. Being a woman did not inform my particular political experience. I didn't grow up in the era of angry feminism or identity politics nor did I grow up feeling like my gender held me back at all..... What drew me to conservatism was the belief that a limited and small government gives people the best chance at freedom, happiness and economic opportunity. I should be able to keep most of what I work really hard to make.....that there is a difference between right and wrong, those are NOT relative terms....(applause)....Contrast this with progressive liberalism, which has to work very hard, every day, to assert it's relevance...liberalism defines itself by what's happening at the moment...lacking consistent core beliefs....
That, my friends, is pure genius!
