Yesterday The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about one of the organizers of the next women’s march.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Instead of milling around Washington, organizers have in mind a \u201cgeneral strike\u201d called the Day without a Woman. In a manifesto published in The Guardian on Feb. 6,<\/a> the brains behind the movement are calling for a \u201cnew wave of militant feminist struggle.\u201d That\u2019s right: militant, not peaceful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The document was co-authored by, among others, Rasmea Yousef Odeh<\/a>, a convicted terrorist. Odeh, a Palestinian, was convicted in Israel in 1970 for her part in two terrorist bombings, one of which killed two students while they were shopping for groceries. She spent 10 years in prison for her crimes. She then managed to become a US<\/a> citizen in 2004 by lying about her past (great detective work, INS: Next time, use Google) but was subsequently convicted, in 2014, of immigration fraud for the falsehoods. However, she won the right to a new trial (set for this spring) by claiming she had been suffering from PTSD at the time she lied on her application. Oh, and in her time as a citizen, she worked for a while as an ObamaCare<\/a> navigator.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can see why she\u2019s a hero to the left. Another co-author, Angela Davis<\/a>, is a Stalinist professor and longtime supporter of the Black Panthers<\/a>. Davis is best known for being acquitted in a 1972 trial after three guns she bought were used in a courtroom shootout that resulted in the death of a judge. She celebrated by going to Cuba.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A third co-author, Tithi Bhattacharya, praised Maoism<\/a> in an essay for the International Socialist Review<\/a>, noting that Maoists are \u201con the terrorist list of the US State Department, Canada<\/a>, and the European Union<\/a>,\u201d which she called an indication that \u201cMaoists are back in the news and by all accounts they are fighting against all the right people.\u201d You know you\u2019re dealing with extremism when someone admits to hating Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do these people represent a large portion of American women? If they do, we are in serious trouble.<\/p>\n

The International Women\u2019s Strike is scheduled for March 8. That’s a Wednesday. The people who actually make this country work will be at their jobs. The strikers have been instructed to block roads and bridges, abstain from ” domestic, care, and sex work,” to boycott pro-Trump businesses (how do they know which ones are pro-Trump?), and to wear red to show solidarity. I’m sorry. These women do not represent me, and I am not sure who they represent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
