Rise of the conservative woman: “Fire from the Heartland” premieres tonight in DC

posted at 7:58 pm on September 22, 2010 by Allahpundit

Via Stephen Kruiser, who’s seen the entire film.

It also has Reps. Michele Bachmann, Jean Schmidt, and Cynthia Lummis working hard within the system. Bachmann’s famous grilling of Timothy Geithner is one of the highlights of the film (and featured in the trailer on the website). The film also features Ann Coulter, Michelle Easton, Michelle Malkin, Deneen Borelli, Janine Turner, Dana Loesch, S.E Cupp, Jenny Beth Martin, Jamie Radtke, Sonnie Johnson and Michelle Moore. These women represent old and new media and a cross-section of the Tea Party movement. In short, they’re everywhere.

I experienced a quiet mix of embarrassment and gratitude during the screening. It occurred to me that one of the reasons these women have taken such a prominent role in recent years is that so many of the men who were left in charge of the conservative movement failed it and us miserably. Many readers will no doubt say “Conservative men didn’t fail us, Republicans failed us.” The simple fact is that many elected Republican conservatives have been screwing things up since the late 1990s. Now we’re faced with the prospect of having a great November but keeping the good ol’ boy network intact and basically suffering through the same congressional leadership that drove Barack Obama and this Democratic congress into power.

The trailer looks great, although in practice, it kinda sorta operates as a campaign ad for a certain governor turned likely presidential candidate, no? Did I catch a … grizzly bear roaring in there?

The takeaway line: “I am no victim. I am no victim.” As further reading in that vein, check out this very sharp piece by S.E. Cupp ripping into phony charges of sexism against men like Karl Rove who’ve dared to criticize Christine O’Donnell. No-victim exit quotation: “Someone should tell her that if she can’t stand the heat, she’d better get out of the kitchen.”

barky isn’t a shooter, he’s more of a ball handler.

Ouch. :)

There would have been a major scandal if any member of the White House senior staff had learned of the IRS malfeasance, without any pursuant investigation or comparable action.

Oh, if only dear leader Stalin knew of these atrocities he’d certainly stop them…

Pull the other one.

I agree with you, whether Barky knew or not is “Irrelevant”.

Except in my mind even if it’s the crew who scuttled her, the captain goes down with the ship. In your mind, he gets a promotion.

Obama, head of the Neo-Know Nothing Party.

Sgt. Schultz, chief of staff.

Why bother the sock puppet? He’s busy shooting hoops.

And all that practice shows. Two out of twenty-two. Not even Jason Collins is that bad.

Oh, I so needed this. Thank you.

This is simply not believable. It seems Obama and his minions are all too young to have learned the lessons of Watergate.

These abuses of the First Amendment wouldn’t be happening if we had a constitutional law professor as president.

That is precisely why they are able to use law as legal passes, such as “I don’t recall,” I did not know,” I drank too much tea” “No one informed me. I first saw this travesty on Fox none-news.”
Under oath, that would shift rapidly to: “Under advisement of my attorney, I plead the fifth amendment.”

Obama runs the white House like a terrorist cell! He probably uses couriers to communicate with his cohorts in other cells of the government! Find the couriers, water board them, and you’ve caught him in his crimes! Ha!

But what if the President not only knew about it, but started it…?

President met with anti-Tea Party IRS union chief the day before agency targeted Tea Party.

Good question. Had this been any republican, bayam would call it proof, as undeniable as the sun rising in the east.

But bayam will simply pretend that it proves nothing, there is no smoke and therefore no fire. Hypocrite practices hypocrisy, who’s surprised?

On the other hand, bayam’s statement could be interpreted as stating that obama is responsible and should be held accountable. Is that what you’re saying bayam?
