A consideration of Senator Joseph McCarthy's role in shaping the direction of American foreign policy during the early years of the Cold War.
The United States emerged from the ruins of World War II as the wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth. Instead of following the isolationist path it had taken in the 1920s, the United States in 1945 sought to exploit its unique position by attempting to construct a world order compatible with enlightened American ideals and receptive to flows of American capital. This Pax Americana did not last very long, though: in 1947 President Truman moved to protect Greece and Turkey from Communist subversion, and the Marshall Plan extended American economic aid to European countries vulnerable to such subversion. By mid-century Americans must have realized that the post-war world was becoming more dangerous, especially considering the "loss" of Eastern Europe and China to Communism and the very real military power of the Soviet Union. The internationalist nature of Communist ideology certainly could not have enhanced America's sense of security.
Thus, on the eve of Senator Joseph McCarthy's rise to power, the U.S. had become engaged in a cold war to "contain" international Communism and was looking for an explanation for its failure to maintain world order. In a speech at Wheeling, West Virginia, on February 9, 1950, the obscure junior Senator from Wisconsin provided a frightening but plausible answer: the American State Department was staffed with subversives, traitors, and spies. It was no accident that his explanation seemed to be so compatible with the mood of the time, because it was carefully chosen to be so. "The Senator desperately needed a campaign issue. And with a sure instinct for the popular mood, he chose one that became a successful political rallying cry, a potent weapon in the struggle for power — the issue of 'Communists in government'." [1]
McCarthyism was not solely created by its namesake; rather, it was something like a latent force within the American mind that was tapped very effectively by a man with demagogic talents. McCarthy did not shape the events of his time to the degree that they helped shape him. There is no doubt that he contributed to the fear that gripped America in the early 1950's through his singular talents and personality, but he could not have had the impact he did without the aid of the Cold War, the media, and the American party system, at a time when the Republican Party was trying to make an electoral comeback. "'McCarthy' and 'McCarthyism' did not spring alone and unaided from the fertile imagination of the junior Senator from Wisconsin. They were instead the symptoms of a malfunctioning of the entire political system." [2]
A natural corollary to this view of McCarthy as more shaped than shaping is that as an individual he had little, if any, independent effect on American foreign policy during or after his brief reign of terror. It is debatable, at best, that "he had an enormous impact on foreign policy at a time when that policy bore heavily on the course of world history, and American diplomacy might bear a different aspect today if McCarthy had never lived." [3]
McCarthy was the grandson of immigrants who arrived in this country in the mid-nineteenth century. His parents were simple folk, who sought to make a good life for themselves and their family in rural Wisconsin. He worked hard on the family farm and was generally described by those who knew him as aggressive, daring and extremely popular. He applied these qualities not only to his recreation but to his schoolwork as well. He completed his high school's curriculum in one year and then went on to Marquette University. [4]
McCarthy was a successful student at Marquette, where he excelled at public speaking and earned a law degree. Just as in high school, he seemed to want to fulfill his responsibilities in record time, and then move onto the next stage of his life. Although he seemed very ambitious, he displayed a tendency to opt for immediate and tangible results. He also betrayed a capacity for bluffing, short-cutting and outright dishonesty. [5]
Thus, at the end of his Marquette career and the beginning of his legal one, he had "only hazy and simplistic historical and philosophical perspectives" while "his interest in and commitment to political thought ran no deeper than the prejudices of [his parents]…personal magnetism was his strongest asset." [6] In short, Joe McCarthy seemed to have all the qualities of a successful politician in the mass communications age of post-war America. All he had to do was wait for people and events to present him with an opportunity or an issue, and he would exploit it with the dishonesty and lack of restraint that characterized his entire life.
Such an opportunity presented itself when the LaFollette family and the Progressives began to lose their stranglehold on Wisconsin politics and the Republican Party moved in to fill the vacuum. Sensing the strength of the GOP, McCarthy left the Democratic Party and became a Republican prior to his successful candidacy for circuit judge, and in 1946 he captured the Senate seat of Robert La Follette Jr. [7]
Besides running a weak campaign and being the member of a moribund party, La Follette had come under fire from leftists in Wisconsin because of his outspoken anti-Communism. Instead of attacking the Democrat, McCarthy tried to suggest that La Follette was actually a tool of the Communists. On election day, thousands of labor union members in traditional La Follette strongholds decided to vote in the Democratic primary. In the general election against Professor Howard McMurray of the University of Wisconsin, McCarthy would manipulate the natural distrust of intellectuals felt by rural voters by saying that he was just a "farm boy, not a professor." [8] As Robert Griffith says of him: "He never for an instant denounced ideas; he denounced people!" [9]
Joe's venture into national politics paralleled in many ways his experiences on the state level because in Washington, as in Wisconsin, there was the ever present issue of Communism and the dynamics of the party system. He would be motivated by the same goals and employ the same tactics as he had earlier, but on a much larger scale. "From the very beginning Joe was determined to be a major figure in the nation's capital…and he was determined to shed his obscurity in record time." [10]
Like La Follette, President Truman found himself besieged from both the left and the right. He also was a tough anti-Communist, committed to the idea of containment, but he and his administration were criticized for being too "soft" on Communism, especially in regard to their Far Eastern policy. Dean Acheson and the State Department bore the brunt of the attack, and they were portrayed as a clique of New Deal liberals who were sabotaging government policy. "At the heart of McCarthy's power was his mastery of the myths, stereotypes, and slogans created by the Republican attack on America's 'failure' in China," [11] but "for the most part, he only repeated and rehashed the old charges and accusations…his speeches were loaded with almost every cliché and slogan developed by Republican orators since 1945." [12] The Korean War and the Alger Hiss case were among the many developments at the beginning of the 1950s that seemed to confirm the ineffectiveness of Truman's policies and legitimate McCarthy's attacks. "The Cold War created the context and Truman's rhetoric and political leadership, the vacuum that made the charges and appeals of McCarthyism not merely viable but persuasive to a great many Americans." [13]
The point is that the Communist problem and the Communist issue existed in the United States long before McCarthy arrived in Washington, and Americans had a long history of engaging in the type of witch-hunting behavior that he would give his name to. A. Mitchell Palmer had many of the key characteristics of a "McCarthyite," while the two progressive giants of the twentieth century, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, both came down hard on dissent. Harry Truman was probably as philosophically conservative as any Republican; his Presidency saw the institution of federal loyalty programs and the birth of containment.
But the internationalist Truman Administration made mistakes and the Republicans predictably launched an "internalist" attack, led by McCarthy, contending that America's problems were due to weakness and subversion in her own government. Of course, this explanation must have been very appealing to someone who refused to believe that America was being honestly challenged by an atheistic regime barely thirty years old. In addition to the fear generated by the Cold War, the imperatives of party politics also helped to create the conditions in which the junior Senator could exert an inordinate amount of influence, or at least give the impression that he was so doing.
Since the pivotal election of 1932, the Republicans had been in the minority, but the end of the war, Truman's difficulties and a strong showing in the 1950 elections had bolstered their hopes for solid political control. With the coming of the Presidential election year of 1952, their best strategy was to let the Senator from Wisconsin continue his assault on the Democratic administration. In other words, "they were willing to use the malevolent innocence of McCarthy for their own political gain." [14]
Senate Democrats also did their share in creating the McCarthy phenomenon, by not condemning him, especially after the Tydings Committee in June 1950 denounced him for making false accusations and for perpetrating "a fraud and a hoax." The most vocal opposition came from members of the Truman Administration; in the Senate, only twelve Democrats spoke out against McCarthy. One reason for the reluctance was that Dean Acheson was not very well liked in the Senate, especially by Southern conservatives in the Democratic Party. [15] The more important reason, though, was fear of tampering with a very explosive issue, which could mean electoral disaster. Democrats preferred to ignore the Wisconsin Senator, hoping that he would just fade away. [16]
Because of his political ambitions, unrestrained personality, and love of the limelight, McCarthy had come to identify himself so thoroughly with the Communist issue that an attack on him would at least seem to be a sign of weakness on that issue. If one was a Republican, this would mean depriving oneself of a very effective campaign tool. If one happened to be a Democrat, it could bring suspicion and almost certain defeat at the polls. This is what apparently happened to McCarthy's most visible Democratic opponent, Millard Tydings, who went down to defeat in 1950, along with many other Democrats. McCarthy's independent effect on the elections is considered elusive — local politics and general disaffection with Truman played large roles — but he was perceived at the time to be the singular cause of Democratic misfortune, due in no small part to the enormous publicity he was receiving.
After the GOP capture of the Presidency and the Congress in 1952, it would seem that McCarthy's anti-Communist crusade was complete, and he would get down to some serious legislative work. Rather, from his chairs on the Committee on Government Operations and the more important Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, he renewed the attack on "Communists in government," targeting larger, more challenging game. In late 1953 he even went after the Eisenhower Administration itself by delivering a sharply critical televised speech that was described as "a declaration of war against the President." [17]
Although Eisenhower tried to remain personally uninvolved, he and the Republican Party knew that they would soon have to confront the McCarthy menace. Their worst fears were confirmed when on March 11, 1954, the United States Army accused McCarthy of seeking preferential treatment for one of his "chief consultants," G. David Schine, after McCarthy had sought to gain access to their confidential loyalty files. McCarthy then responded by charging that the army was "coddling Communists." During the hearings that followed, he was as vituperative as ever and he purposefully interrupted the proceedings with frequent points of "order." By June, both the army and McCarthy moved to end the hopeless melodrama. [18]
But McCarthy did not escape the hearings unscathed. First, he had a definite fall from public favor, especially in his home state, because of the televised hearings. Second, many moderate Republican Senators began to feel that he was actually becoming an electoral liability for the party. Third, a resolution was initiated that would ultimately lead to his censure. And finally, the members of the "McCarthy subcommittee," aided by Republican defections, rebelled against its chairman and refused to acquiesce to any of his further demands.[19]
Many Republicans weren't immediately aware of the monster they were helping to create, but by 1954, most of them probably realized that McCarthy was not in the least bit concerned with the unity or health of their party. Instead, he had "recklessly exaggerated fairly standard and usually carefully calculated rightwing political rhetoric." [20] On December 2, 1954, twenty-two Republicans joined with the Senate Democrats in condemning him. The Senator who initiated the resolution and the chairman of the committee who recommended censure were both Republicans. President Eisenhower also broke his silence on the issue and publicly denounced him. Henceforth he would be ignored by his Senate colleagues and rendered impotent within the Senate chamber. He would not survive the psychological blow.
The fact is that McCarthy could have and should have been confronted much earlier than 1954, but because of Democratic fear and Republican lack of will, he was allowed to run rampant in the Senate. His potential for power was enormous because he had come to identify himself so thoroughly with such a popular issue. As always, though, he wanted too much, too soon. Instead of accumulating power slowly over time, he tried to conquer Washington and the "Eastern Establishment" with one sensational thrust. His power "was not a question of direct and effective influence over the internal processes of the Senate; this was never great. What was the issue was his role as a compelling personal symbol of Republican anticommunism." [21]
McCarthy's power rested on what Robert Griffith calls a "balance." He was balanced between the two parties and between two branches of government: the Republicans wanted him as a weapon against the Democrats; Congress wanted him as a weapon against the Executive; and Majority Leader Robert Taft, who battled Eisenhower for the Republican nomination in 1951, wanted him as a weapon against the Chief Executive. He couldn't be ignored, but when everyone saw that the Wisconsin Senator was working for no one but himself, he had to be discarded.
It is important to note that when the Senate voted to censure McCarthy, it was indicting his behavior, not his ideas. He was censured for violating Senate tradition and procedure, not civil liberties. Even while the Senate was condemning McCarthy, it was also busy passing the Communist Control Act of 1954, and a host of other anti-subversive bills "broad enough to endanger the civil liberties of all Americans." [22] In recommending censure, the Watkins Committee was careful to separate the person of Joseph McCarthy from the anti-Communist consensus with which he had protected himself for so long. They agreed that he had brought the Senate into disrepute, but the Senate "would not, and given the circumstances probably could not, address itself to the nervous assumptions of the post-war decade." [23]
So, while it is true that at the height of the "Second Red Scare," McCarthy was often able to get his way within the Senate chamber, "his contemporaries exaggerated his personal grip on the American political pulse, for he was as much the product of events as their shaper. Though McCarthy was a formidable figure, it was the broader contingencies of partisan politics and the exigencies of world developments which ignited the flame of prominence in 1950 and, shifting in 1954, snuffed it." [24]
It is difficult to accept the notion of McCarthy as some sort of prime mover. He did manage to have certain "leftist" books removed from the State Department's overseas information libraries and, in 1952, he contended that he had managed to strike a deal with some Greek ship owners to stop trading with Communist China and North Korea. Along with other conservative Republicans, he also tried — unsuccessfully — to block the appointment of Charles Bohlen as ambassador to the Soviet Union, because they believed Bohlen had played a part in the "Yalta Betrayal." But McCarthy's role in foreign affairs must be seen as extremely minimal, and as not altering the fundamental assumptions or patterns of behavior that had characterized American foreign policy since the Truman Doctrine was declared.
When he attacked President Eisenhower, even the "bitter-enders" tried to disengage themselves from him. When he recklessly threatened the very basis of American power — the army — he was checked. When he made a mockery of Senate procedures and abused his very fragile Senatorial position, he was emasculated by that institution. The limits of his power become even more clear in light of the post-New Deal growth of executive government at the expense of a Congress hampered by careerism, decentralization, and lack of coherence. A careerist like McCarthy should have forced the Senate to recognize and remedy its inability to assert its will as a collective body, and this might have avoided dire consequences in Southeast Asia a decade later.
However, there is no denying the fact that he did strike a responsive chord in the American psyche. The Cold War created the feelings of tension and uncertainty that he would exploit, mostly because he had no ideas of his own on which to base and legitimate political power. He was a symptom, not the cause, of what one might call America's post-war predicament: a country psychologically ill prepared to deal with the complexity and brutality of its new found position of power in the world. "Had he never made that speech in Wheeling, West Virginia, had his name never become a household word, what people came to call 'McCarthyism' would nevertheless have characterized American politics at the mid-century."

Anne-Marie Slaughter in the Atlantic: "Women Still Can't Have It All." Can Anyone?
Anne-Marie Slaughter's new cover story for the Atlantic is out today. In it, she discusses how "women still can't have it all" and outlines some possible solutions to the work-life conundrum she's faced in her career as a professor and government official. Says Slaughter:
All my life, I'd been on the other side of this exchange. I'd been the woman smiling the faintly superior smile while another woman told me she had decided to take some time out or pursue a less competitive career track so that she could spend more time with her family. I'd been the woman congratulating herself on her unswerving commitment to the feminist cause, chatting smugly with her dwindling number of college or law-school friends who had reached and maintained their place on the highest rungs of their profession. I'd been the one telling young women at my lectures that you can have it all and do it all, regardless of what field you are in. Which means I'd been part, albeit unwittingly, of making millions of women feel that they are to blame if they cannot manage to rise up the ladder as fast as men and also have a family and an active home life (and be thin and beautiful to boot).
Feminist critics' reactions to this piece have been a mixed bag so far. Some people are rightly pointing out that Slaughter comes from a position of extreme privilege (something she acknowledges in the piece, but only kinda) and that many of the issues she frames as affecting "women" actually apply only to "white, educated, wealthy women who have high-powered jobs." Many lower-income workers and people of color never have the option to stay at home with a family, let alone take a sabbatical to Shanghai for a year. This is true, but I don't think it disproves Slaughter's points about work culture, it only makes them less universal. You've got a long, depressing way to go, baby. As a childfree young-ish person, I found Slaughter's arguments both interesting and depressing. Slaughter herself mentions a generational shift she's noticed in women's expectations, and I have to anecdotally agree. Women of my generation don't, in my experience, expect to "have it all" (which in this case means a successful career and kids) without making big sacrifices. The very notion of having "it all" sounds so ludicrous to me that I can't help but put it in quotes. As Rebecca Traister argues at Salon, "We should immediately strike the phrase 'have it all' from the feminist lexicon and never, ever use it again." According to Slaughter, though, this wasn't true for her generation:
Women of my generation have clung to the feminist credo we were raised with, even as our ranks have been steadily thinned by unresolvable tensions between family and career, because we are determined not to drop the flag for the next generation. But when many members of the younger generation have stopped listening, on the grounds that glibly repeating "you can have it all" is simply airbrushing reality, it is time to talk.
The problem, then, isn't with feminism (as some would have you believe—more on that in a sec) but with our cultural attitudes surrounding work and family. Feminists are right to want "it all" (The quotes! As a cynical millennial I can't help it!) if "it all" means a career and a family, and society should allow for that. Where this article loses me a little is in its focus on women as opposed to everyone. I agree with Slaughter's points about how "we should be able to move to a culture where the office is a base of operations more than the required locus of work," and how we should "choose and celebrate different role models [who prioritize family life]" but this isn't just a women's issue. It affects everyone who works and has a family—and that doesn't just mean kids, either. "Family" in this case means "a life outside of your career," which is something we (almost) all want out of life. Why aren't we asking whether or not men can "have it all"? Wondering, "Have feminists sold young women a fiction?"—as a subheader in the piece does—completely obscures the point. To be fair though, much of the OMG BLAME FEMINISM framing comes not from the content of Slaughter's piece but from its packaging. Of course the Atlantic, home of headlines like the "The End of Men," "The War Against Boys," and "How Serfdom Saved the Women's Movement," would slap a baby on its cover and ask "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." Calling this article something more measured, like "Why We Need More Workplace Flexibility," wouldn't sell magazines the way a panicky HOLY SHIT WOMEN story does. All that being said, I do think Slaughter makes some solid points in her piece. We do culturally value work over family (though we purport to do the opposite), and any number of U.S. workplace statistics prove this. I appreciate that Slaughter outlines some steps for how we might change this, because if we want to "have it all," we need to make real policy changes and paradigm shifts. Slaughter's article isn't perfect, but I hope it's a step in the right direction. How about you? Read an interview with Slaughter about her piece here at the Hairpin.

Having it all? Not really.
Personally, I think this notion of "having it all" within the current context of our society is not a healthy goal to have (for anyone, regardless of gender.) This division between personal life and work life is not an absolute, and has not existed for most of human history. It is hard to juggle domestic responsibility and full-time work because it's not how we're designed to function as a species.
Capitalism has done an excellent job of convincing us that wage slavery is normal, and it has destroyed our family lives in the process. Wage slavery is terrible, period. We need to focus on changing our lives and dropping out of consumerism in order to change how we live. That requires that we change our notions of what "success" is.
I was a working-class girl, raised by a single mom, who went to college and after years of scraping and working as a waitress, finally got a fancy office job. I stayed there for only 2 years, because I realized how soul-sucking it was. It's not worth it to sacrifice yourself in order to slave away for a large corporation, sitting in traffic for 2 hours each day, destroying the planet and destroying your health with stress. I'm now living creatively in order to live the way I want to live (it's a work in progress, but I'm getting there!)
It's sounds very out there to suggest a re-direction of what our culture values, but I think it's worth shooting for.
It's about time the mainstream feminist movement stopped trying to encourage women to emulate what the Capitalistic Patriarchal culture has defined as "success", and make our own definitions that are healthier for ourselves and our families.

A few things
I don't think anybody can have it all. I totally understand why you put it in quotes.
That said, I think the discussion about having it all, in order to be a true discussion, needs to be less of a women's issue. I also think any discussion that is comprehensive should include a reference to Veronica Chambers' excellent book, Having It All, which is often not included in these discussions which sort of gloss over the experience of working-class, middle-class and people of color. I have the Atlantic issue with this article in it, but I haven't read it yet.
The sentiment behind Having it All, though, seems to suggest that women want too much. They want to be happy, just like men. But societal expectations for them to be perfect and never fail do not match up with the shifting cultural changes in our country. Women fail to be equal, but not for lack of trying and that's not feminism's fault, they fail to be perfect women/mothers/wives/partners because if they work too much they're not good mothers even if they climb corporate ladders and if they live childfree, they're selfish shrew-spinsters who couldn't be "real women." So the confusing cross sections of these beliefs work against thoughtful women at every economic level and across ethnicities.
I'm looking forward to reading Anne's piece and having a more specific response to it. But I'm still annoyed by the insinuation that women are failing at life just by taking advantage of the opportunities that our foremothers fought for us to have. It is, after all, extremely American and Western to continue having the same conversation about having everything after decades of debating the same. I am content to have enough. I know a lot of women who are. When can we start having that conversation, I wonder? "Why it's amazing to have enough." I guess it's not as sexy.
i was confused about my
i was confused about my feelings on this article. and I'm not going to lie, i did NOT read that whole thing, by any means! I'm too tired. lol. maybe tomorrow. but there was something that just didn't quite speak to me, and i had a hard time articulating it for a minute. but what really speaks volumes about us, as a society, is that we still have these internal conversations about "WOMEN" or about "MEN" ... when there are almost 7 BILLION people in this world... so say it is 50/50... we are actually attempting to group 3.5 billion people into one neat little category? i understand its not as simple as all this, but i think this is what needs to be addressed. i don't know how to make it "better" because i do understand that we need to discuss "women's" issues, but at the same time, it feels so beyond flawed.. especially about saying that women just want to be happy like men, or "have it all" like men .. which men are these? and how do men have it all if their mothers, sisters, daughters and wives aren't happy or don't have it all?
funny thing, i was watching Kathy Griffin show the other night when Chelsea Handler was on, and I was beyond disgusted by a comment she (Chelsea) made, when they were discussing the fact that women make 0.77 cents on the dollar ... Chelsea said something along the lines of "the more we talk about women not being equal, the more it becomes reality." and also discussed how well off she is, and how lucky she is, so she wanted to stress she was NOT complaining.. it was as if she was so afraid that by standing up for other women, or even talking about inequality, that the fairy that granted her wish to be successful would come and take it all away, that she wouldn't even talk about it... just left a bad taste in my mouth. That she was so lacking in confidence in her position of power that she felt she couldn't help other women out less she be punished, just made me really sad. And obviously i don't agree with her in any way, but maybe she was getting at something I missed ... that by continuing to discuss women in this way, we are defining ourselves or our sex as the Other, opposed to the male sex. And we need to figure out a way to stop doing that.
But i digress.
Good night.
Of course women can't "have it all"...
someone has to take care of all those little unpleasant facts of life so men can. Ugh. I do so hate this entire discussion. The only reason women can't "have it all" is because so many men refuse to pull their weight and so many women allow them to get away with it. I have a career. I have 2 kids. I make most of the money in the house. My husband cooks dinner. He does the laundry. He loads the dishwasher. He takes care of the younger child when I'm at work. Notice that I didn't say he "helps me" with that stuff? He does it because it's his job as much as it is mine. As long as women put up with some asshole who doesn't take being a father and partner seriously, we'll continue to hear this same nonsense. I haven't put up with it, and I don't have any problem having a career and a family.
I love when people get
I love when people get righteously angry. Our desire to make feminism palatable to the wider world means that we often stifle our very legitimate anger, and I just wanted to say you're awesome.
Meanwhile, I just posted this idea on another blog, and I want to throw it out here as well: women's "choices" aren't really choices when there is systemic inequality skewing them. The "choice" to work less isn't necessarily a free one, by any means.
And I never did understand the phrase "have it all."
I initially felt pretty isolated from this article. Slaughter does, after all, seem to be speaking to all of us, but on behalf of a select demographic, ie, young, privileged, incredibly ambitious women. I fit the former two bills, but even for all my desire to advance in my career, I'm not the rhodes scholar-pulitzer winner-astronaut-law journal editor-mother that Slaughter points out is the norm for most females profiled at the tops of their fields. I think it's a worthy point to make, to recognize that often, the only female role models we have in positions of power are, like, superhuman abstractions of what not just an average woman, but an average educated, privileged, intelligent, and ambitious woman, is. It took me a minute to digest, but i do think there is some universality in the message that says "we need to expand not just our definition of success, but also, the perceived profile of who can succeed." It really is, as many commenters have already pointed out, a much more far-reaching cultural issue, comprehensive of men and women and institutional roles and rights, than I often see it to be.

It is a trap
I posted about it over the weekend:
I doubt any of these writers care to ask me if "I have it all" - nor do I expect someone to text me the question. Here's my response…I'm sure you will sense some sarcasm.
I do have it all. ALL of it. I have laundry, email, and dinner to make. I have a daughter who knows the names of the people in my work world better than she knows her extended family. I have a husband who's keeps a calendar to know when I'm home for dinner, and when it's his turn to cook. I have student loans, bills, a car that got a really bad car wash, and a stinky bear that I had to "pull some strings" in order to rescue him from daycare at 11 at night. I "have it all" for a couple of people.
I see the point of these writers - theres's an inequity in our worlds. Have your babies too young and you endanger your educational opportunities, which then impact your income-making prospects. Have your babies too old and you endanger professional advancement, which then impact your income-making prospects. And - if you forego (either by choice or force) babies, there's this unspoken implication that you do not see the value in childrearing.
And here we are again…the value of a woman has been boiled down to our willingness to have children. Not our desire to have children, but our willingness. How nice.
So, here's the deal. Clearly, I sense a conspiracy here. There's a distraction at play, and the ladies are all being fooled into forming a circle to start shooting at each other. There's the stay-at-home mom, the attachment mom, tiger mom, working mom, the no-children lady, the infertile, the all or nothing, the bitch, the pushover, the liberal, the conservative…. I didn't even get the chance to talk about the economic inequities of women - within womanhoodland.
Don't get distracted, there's a political war that is separating and compartmentalizing women. I have this horrible gut feeling that we are losing this war. Our menstral cycles are clearly not lined up, and we are not on the same page. Maybe once scientists find the cure for male-pattern baldness before a cure for breast or uterine cancer...we will start to feel that sense of urgency.
Anne-Marie Slaughter in the Atlantic: "Women Still Can't Have
It's going to be finish of mine day, but before end I am reading this enormous post to improve my experience.
"Having it all" vs happiness
Whoever told women they had no right to be happy until they "have it all" robbed women of a right men have always enjoyed, and that is being allowed to derive satisfaction from whatever simple pleasures in life we already have.
These types of little
These types of little particulars connect the entire celebration collectively. It is also much more enjoyable to consume specifically created meals. Whatever type of celebration you're getting, the greater work a person put in preparing every part from the celebration can help make sure that you produce an excellent occasion.

Brandon Connette shines in scrimmage
Brandon Connette had been Duke's running quarterback in the past, but he may have a new role on this year's squad. During a 95-snap scrimmage, the red shirt sophomore was on the receiving end of a 15-yard Sean Renfree touchdown pass, and then ran 36 yards for another score.
Renfree had a successful scrimmage in his own right, completing 14-of-21 passes, with the touchdown to Connette and an interception. Backup Anthony Boone completed 5-of-10 passes, but the best quarterback performance belonged to freshman Thomas Sirk. Sirk had the best completion percentage of all the quarterbacks, going 12-for-19, threw for 162 yards, and connected on two touchdowns.
Outside of the quarterback position, two newly converted wide receivers, Desmond Scott and Garett Patterson, both put in good performances. Scott, the former running back, caught a team best six passes while Patterson, a former defensive back, recorded five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown.
On the defensive side of the ball, defensive backs Lee Butler and Tony Foster came away with interceptions, while linebacker Deion Williams recovered a fumble. Defensive lineman Michael Mann had one sack and a forced fumble.

Vomiting bug closes wards at hospitals
Posted: February 28, 2013|
TWO more hospital wards in North Staffordshire have been closed to new patients after being hit by the norovirus epidemic.
They are the Sneyd Ward at Burslem's Haywood Hospital and Aynsley Ward at Longton Cottage Hospital.
The closures come as four wards at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire (UNHS) have also been sealed off to new cases because of the winter vomiting bug.
Bosses at UHNS and the community NHS trust running the Burslem and Longton centres have urged anyone planning to visit them to stay at home if they, or family members, have had diarrhoea, vomiting or flu-like symptoms in the past four days.
Siobhan Heafield, nursing director with the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership NHS Trust, said: "We know that sometimes visitors feel they must take every opportunity to visit sick friends or relatives so if people are unsure whether to go along they should contact the ward nurse beforehand.
"But visitors clear of symptoms are still very welcome."
Meanwhile, one of the closed wards at UNHS is due to re-open to new cases later today.

Stalking charges dropped against former ambulance company president
After months of "living hell" he was prepared to fight accusations that he followed and harassed a neighbor over two years
Lehigh Valleyy Live
MARION COUNTY, Fla. — The former president of the now-defunct Portland Ambulance Corps was ready to go to trial today in Marion County, Florida, to fight accusations that he followed and harassed a neighbor over two years.
But state prosecutors called it quits before the trial even began, according Becky Fletcher, attorney for 71-year-old Darryl Moser.
Moser, formerly of Upper Mount Bethel Township and now living in Summerfield, Florida, said the state's decision to withdraw the charge today ended months of what he described as a "living hell."

Spotted in Lil Tokyo, Los Angeles
As I stepped out of the store to visit our friends over at BOWLS, some guy walked by me with this super sick motorized lowrider/cruiser. Knowing me, i turned around and asked him if it was cool for me to take a picture of it. I had so much questions to ask him, but seemed like he was in a hurry. The only info I got from him was that it has a 80cc motor. Its amazing how creative people can be. If any of you guys have little toys like this, feel free to come by and amuse us.
Totally inspired me to built my own. 😀

jeez that thing is cool
this bike is way better than manny's.
its slammed. look how close the bb is to the floor. you realize hes using his pedal as a stand? and its stretched. that fork is insane. the bottom of the ht almost lines up the the center of the front hub.
mannys looks like a stock lowrider that he bought and put a motor kit on.
juss sayinn.
Anyone know how he got it so low? i want to slam my beach cruiser like this.
@nick – you can start with a bent springer fork. it'll stretch and lower your bike a bit.
i had the bent springer for on my lowrider cruiser and it did make it sit really low but were really flimsy when steering. could of very well been low quality forks though.

Death of the Old America…… "Nationalism, militarism, and centralization killed it" – LewRockwell.com
July 19, 2014Email PrintFacebookTwitterShareTo observe the decades-long paralysis of America's political elite in controlling her borders calls to mind the insight of James Burnham in 1964 — "Liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide."
What the ex-Trotskyite turned Cold Warrior meant was that by faithfully following the tenets of liberalism, the West would embrace suicidal policies that would bring about the death of her civilization.
The crisis on our Southern border, where the left, and not only the left, is wailing that we cannot turn away desperate people fleeing wicked regimes and remain true to our liberal values, is a case in point.To assert that we cannot take all these people in, that we must send them back and seal out border for our survival, is to be called a variety of names — racist, xenophobe, nativist — all of which translate into "illiberal."
What Individualism Is Not – LewRockwell.com
The bottle is now labeled libertarianism. But its content is nothing new; it is what in the nineteenth century, and up to the time of Franklin Roosevelt, was called liberalism —
the advocacy of limited government and a free economy. (If you think of it, you will see that there is a redundancy in this formula, for a government of limited powers would have little chance of interfering with the economy.)

Why Liberalism is Pseudo-Religious Intellectual Poison
WHY do liberal folks never get it? Why do a million successive failures not clue them in that their ideas are failure incarnate?
These geniuses refuse to amalgamate the raw data laying all around to inexorably force the conclusion that the premises of liberalism are false. Because, much like how poison works—by mimicking the good things our bodies need, but delivering death instead of life—liberalism is a faux religion, a fake ethics. Liberalism causes death.
WATCH: John Wayne's epic anti-lib rant – firstname.lastname@example.com – Gmail

On Today\'s Program
What did John Wayne say about liberalism in 1975 that has even greater meaning today?
The clip may be from nearly 40 years ago, but it sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. Certainly seems like nothing has changed with liberals – they are still the intolerant, small-minded group they've always been – but John Wayne articulates it in the way the rest of us mere mortals can only dream of saying it.
Liberalism vs. Conservatism – What Difference Does It Make?… "More and more, conservatism is being voiced by the people who lean more to the libertarian side of the political spectrum. Many of us want nothing more than to be simply left alone. We do not desire the government to be in our homes or in our lives and we see much of the federal government as an unneeded and unwanted intrusion into our personal lives. "

There is a great divide in America. On one side, you have liberalism, voiced by a group of progressive Democrats that believe in greater government control of almost every aspect of our daily lives. On the other, there is conservatism.
More and more, conservatism is being voiced by the people who lean more to the libertarian side of the political spectrum. Many of us want nothing more than to be simply left alone. We do not desire the government to be in our homes or in our lives and we see much of the federal government as an unneeded and unwanted intrusion into our personal lives.

Spartans double-up on Wildcats
Southern's 59-48 victory over East Chapel Hill on Friday night in boys' basketball was a battle of wills.
East Chapel Hill wanted to slow the game down.
Southern wanted to speed it up.
In the end, speed won with the Spartans' 19-point second half scoring spree by Amari Hamilton to come back from a five-point halftime deficit.
"I'm just proud of the way our guys played on Senior Day," said Southern coach Kendrick Hall, who penciled in an all-senior starting lineup for the occasion. "The main thing I want to see in this program is progression.
"Sometimes we look great, like we're improving. Sometimes you wonder if they're getting what we teach at practice."
The Wildcats took a 20-15 lead into halftime, as Justen Best scored seven points.
East Chapel Hill (9-13, 0-10 PAC-6) came out in the second half running a slow-it-down offense against Southern's zone defense, its first possession taking 36 seconds before a shot.
But Southern (9-12, 4-6) quickly switched to man-to-man defense. On its first possession after the switch, senior guard Vince Philips forced a five-seconds call on defense.
And then Hamilton went off, nailing 3-point baskets on back-to-back possessions on his way to a game-high 21 points.
"At halftime, I just told them to look for better shots," Hall said. "(Hamilton) was shooting with confidence."
Things didn't get better for the Wildcats in the fourth quarter, as Southern started the period with a 13-6 run. East Chapel Hill finally had to bend to the will of Southern, going to a full-court press with five minutes remaining in the game.
In the girls game, Southern defeated East Chapel Hill 52-47 but not before the Wildcats fought their way back into the game.
After trailing by 19 points in the fourth quarter, Ali Cyr-Scully made a shot and completed an and-one free throw to spark an 18-2 run. But the deficit proved to large for the Wildcats (5-15, 1-9).
The Spartans (15-5, 9-1) went on a 14-2 run to close out the third quarter to take a 46-29 lead into the final period. Alexis Joyner and Ariana Tillman led the Spartans with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
Also notable on senior day was Charity Shaw's last performance of the National Anthem as a high school student before the boys game. The senior had performed the anthem before Southern football and basketball games.

- BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Novell GroupWise
- Novell GroupWise 8.0 SP2 and later
When troubleshooting Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) issues with BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Novell GroupWise, review the raw XML passed in transactions between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the Novell GroupWise Post Office Agent. This data can be obtained through a network packet capture using Wireshark, or with Novell GroupWise 8.0.2 and later, enabling SOAP trace logs in the Post Office Agent web console.
Note: Increasing the logging level to Verbose, as well as enabling SOAP logging, will consume more disk space where the Post Office logs are stored. From this point forward and until disabled, the SOAP requests will be saved in XML files stored in the same directory on the Post Office as the Post Office Agent logs.
To enable SOAP logging on the Novell GroupWise Post Office Agent one of the following methods must be done:
Method 1:
- The Novell GroupWise 8.0.2 Post Office Agent must have the HTTP console enabled with a configured HTTP user name and password.
- Verify this in ConsoleONE under GroupWise Agent Settings > Enable HTTP.
- Access the HTTP console at http://PostOfficeIP:SOAPPort
- Click Configuration > Log Settings.
- The Log Level needs to be Verbose as a minimum to access the SOAP Logging Options.
- To set this, choose Verbose and click Submit.
- Enable the SOAP trace logs.
- Under SOAP Logging Options, check Log SOAP Trace as well as Show SOAP Requests and Show SOAP Events, and click Submit.
Method 2:
Change the registry setting on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server as shown below:
- The registry location to configure EnablePOATracing and the associated debug logging: HKLM\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\GroupWise
- Name: EnablePOATracing
- Type: DWORD
- Decimal Value: 1
For more information on enabling network packet capturing with Wireshark, see the following knowledge base article titled How to use Wireshark to capture a packet trace for troubleshooting SOAP issues.

July 4th weekend expected to draw many travelers
By Mariam Sobh
At least 2 million people from across the state are expected to travel by car. Charlene Sligting is with AAA Chicago. She says this year is the most active 4th of July since 2007.
"What we're seeing is that the economy has turned around and people are now traveling because of improvements in the economy and it's increase on consumer confidence and their spending. "
Sligting says more travelers are heading out on destinations at least 50 miles away. And it's not just cars on the road.
The number of Illinois residents choosing to fly is up 2 percent from last year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2012 Asian leaders are beginning to believe that the U.S. military's rebalancing toward the Asia-Pacific region is real, and they are welcoming the move, a senior defense official said here today.
"The rebalance is – and continues to be – a very welcome initiative by friends in Southeast Asia and beyond," the official, speaking on background, told Pentagon reporters.
The rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific-Indian Ocean area is an outgrowth of the new defense strategic guidance. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday in Germany that the rebalancing is necessary.
"In 2020 and beyond, the security and economic challenges to our nation migrate into the Pacific, and demographics migrate to the Pacific," he said. "It's pretty clear we have to rebalance. This is about rebalancing intellectual energy and how we apply it. It's about using the military instrument of power and better integrating with the other instruments of power."
Asian and American leaders have discussed the rebalancing effort and are now seeing the strategy begin to take effect. "They've seen initial first steps," the official said. "The second and third waves of things to come, we're in dialogue about."
When U.S. leaders announced the strategy nearly a year ago, the question was whether America was going to follow through. The Clinton administration also announced it would stress American efforts in the region, but world events intervened – 9/11 – and this didn't happen. Now, with the war over in Iraq and U.S. involvement in Afghanistan winding down, there is renewed effort to shift America's attention to the region.
"I think there is now a growing recognition and appreciation that this is a … real initiative that is moving forward," the official said. Now, Asian leaders are discussing what comes next, asking what they should be doing and offering advice, counsel and insights, he added.
The United States would like to see more multilateral efforts in the region, the official said, noting this was a topic of conversation at a recent Association of Southeast Asian Nations meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia. The United States has good bilateral relations with nations of the region, he added, but "we are interested in … working through our mission in ASEAN a little bit more, trying to empower that body … to do a little more, to be a little more assertive in problem-solving as a multilateral organization, versus doing most of the business bilateral capital to capital."
The U.S. mission to ASEAN has beefed up over time, the official said. "You've seen more engagement with that entity over time, and I think that will continue," he added.

The local races now consist of the full marathon, a first half marathon (the Blackberry Mountain Course), the second half marathon (the River Road Course), the Double Half Marathon and the 5K race.
The full marathon, second half marathon which starts in Matewan, the double-half marathon and 5-k races will all end in Williamson. The first half marathon, which starts in South Williamson, will end in Matewan.
The marathon and half marathon will start at 7 a.m. from Food City, in Goody, Ky. (South Williamson.)
Runners can choose to do the first half marathon, which runs over the steep Blackberry Mountain, or the second half marathon, which runs down through Sprigg, across the bridge into Kentucky and down River Road through Aflex and Burnwell.
If runners decide to do the second half marathon, it starts at 8 a.m. in Matewan.
The double-half marathon starts with the full marathon. Runners will get timed for the first half and then begin a new time run for the second half. That gives participants two states, West Virginia and Kentucky to put on their resumes.
The 5K starts at 8:45 a.m. from mile 23 and ends in Williamson, WV. This is the first time the TVRRC is including this shorter race during the marathon and Hatfield-McCoy Festival.
Registration is still open and runners can register on-line at https://secure.marathonguide.com/register/hatfieldmccoymarathon/
There will be a pasta dinner on Friday night at Belfry High School, which is located just off U.S. 119 near Food City.
Trophies and T-shirts will be awarded at the end of the race.

Local experts looked to help Duluth residents navigate the world of home improvements on Tuesday evening.
One Roof Community Housing hosted a home improvement workshop to inform residents about approaching flood aid deadlines as they continue recovery and rebuilding.
One Roof Education and Lending Associate Jackie Kemp warned about the approaching deadlines.
"So we do have some important flood relief deadlines approaching. Particularly the SBA, the small business administration, deadline on October 15th." Kemp said. "We just want folks to know that they need to meet that deadline or it's going to close some doors on other options for relief," she said.
But the workshop covered more than just flood recovery.
New homeowner Kurt Drengler of Duluth had projects in mind for his 100-year-old home and wanted to know about permitting issues.
"We're looking to replace our three of our porches. We have three decks that are all a little bit weathered so that's going to be next summer's project so I think the permitting process will be soon explored at our house" he said
Drengler says these organizations are helpful to homeowners looking to understand the in's and out's of renovations.
"Going through this whole buying process we've heard a lot about One Roof and D.E.E.P (Duluth Energy Efficiency Program) and it's just great to know that there's a lot of these services and organizations available in Duluth," he said.

This is a hard one for me to write out clearly. You have a ball frozen to the rail just left or right of a side pocket. You shoot straight at the ball, get the kiss, object ball goes back to the rail, and slow rolls it self to the other pocket ( a beautiful shot when actually done right and called). Is it legal in the game of banks? I was under the impression that the cue can only make contact with the object ball once, some rule in the BCA book I had a while ago. Can any help me out with this question???

I have been watching this season and Evan Peters looks like he is hung like a horse.
I stopped watching the show weeks ago when the F/X Canada free previews ended. I've been getting all my updates from these stick figure recaps, and they have been far more entertaining than the show. Thank you much, Jason 8^)

Huh, I missed the part about the popped splint. I agree that I likely wouldn't worry much about it. I've got a horse that has popped splints so many times on both front legs that they look almost deformed...but he's never had a lame day in his life in spite of it.
Anyway, if you really like him, then see if you can negotiate her down to a more acceptable price for his training level in your area.
My biggest problem is that I try to judge all horses by the market in my area. Granted, I ride western, but still... For $30K I could get something show ready that already had multiple wins under their belt. All I'd need to do was throw my saddle on and go pick up the blue ribbon.

You don't have to like Kevin Smith's films to enjoy his presence. I actually like both -- most of the time. Like Smith himself, I'm no fan of Jersey Girl, and remain at best ambivalent about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and even Mallrats, although the latter has a few moments of cogent hilarity. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a mixed bag of Smithian vulgarities, lewd recontextualizing of pop culture, and softcore nudity. The hardcore Smith fans will like it; those, like me, who yearn for more from the Chasing Amy bag of subtle love triangle tricks, will feel less than satisfied. I am rather intrigued, however, by the ordeal Smith went through to avoid getting the film an NC-17 rating; I attended a press junket in Toronto on Sunday, where he explained the whole story. Here's a highlight:
They were like, "That shit shot's never gonna play." I was like, "That shit shot's not going anywhere. I'll fight for it." They said, "Maybe you should bring the sound down and it won't seem as bad as it looks." I said, "I doubt it." But I took six seconds of thrusting out and lowered the sound. They said, "You're so close, but there's still a little more work to do." At that point, I was like, "Not for nothing, but I'd just like to move to the appeals process."

American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, Jan. 14, 2008 The Afghan National Army's 207th Kandak, advised by coalition forces, provided emergency medical assistance to save the lives of a mother and her newborn infant Jan. 10 in the remote village of Aji Kah, in the Gozara district of Afghanistan's Herat province.
The kandak -- equivalent to a U.S. Army battalion -- was conducting a security patrol in the area when two men flagged down the soldiers, asking for medical assistance for one of the village's residents. They told the Afghan army crew a woman had severe stomach cramps and needed immediate care.
"Please take the woman to the hospital. She will surely die if she is not taken immediately," a village elder said.
The elders explained the harsh weather and deep snow prevented them from taking the woman to the district hospital themselves. They led the Afghan and coalition soldiers to the home to see how they could assist. What they found surprised the soldiers. When they entered the rural home, crowded with family members and a midwife, they found a young Afghan woman suffering from complications from giving birth.
"The baby is still connected," a male relative said.
The medic quickly finished delivering the infant and then provided both the mother and baby post-natal care.
The Afghan soldiers navigated through the deep snow to transport mother and infant, as well as a male relative, to the Gozara district hospital for further care after they were stabilized for travel. Both mother and child were reported to be in good condition.
While the Afghan and coalition medics were assisting the mother and infant, the rest of the combined force saw to the medical needs of villagers, while others held talks with village elders.
Aji Kah is a tiny village of only 150 residents. The village makes its livelihood off livestock herds of more than 1,000 sheep and goats. While the remote village has no doctor, medical clinic, or vehicle to take residents to the district hospital, only 20 villagers asked for medical checkups during the impromptu stop. Most of the villagers were treated for cold and flu symptoms. Villagers also received blankets and jackets to help keep them warm through the cold Afghan winter.
Afghan and coalition soldiers also met with village elders to determine the needs of the residents of the rural Herat community. One of the elders invited the team into his home, where they held a conversation over tea.
The elder said this was one of the first times Afghan army teams had visited the village. He had heard of the trips to other local villages in the area and had requested assistance for his residents. Wrapping up the meeting, the elders thanked the Afghan National Army subcommander for the troops' assistance with the new mother and the rest of the village.
"The ANA is committed to helping villagers in need. The people of Aji Kah were very appreciative of the assistance provided by the ANA," a coalition soldier said. "The delivery of a new life in the village is an important milestone. I'm glad we were able to help."
The combined forces returned to their vehicles to continue their mission. The team also visited the 12 families of Molla Ata, which supports a nearby tent encampment that includes another 250 people, during their security patrol. The elder, who is also an imam and school teacher for the village, said although the area is now secure and free from insurgent activity, it has many needs. The Afghan and coalition soldiers provided blankets and jackets to the neediest villagers as a way of showing their concern.
"We are very grateful for the government's assistance," an elder said.
(From a Combined Joint Task Force 82 news release.)
