VIVE LE DIFFERENCE!!!

Posted by Bob in How Things Work on 08/14/2004

The story goes this way:

A bill on equal pay for men and women was being debated in French Parliament. One of the members was making a speech in favor of it. In the course of that speech he said, “There is really very little difference between men and women.”

At this point the entire French Parliament, left and and right, stood up and shouted,
“VIVE LE DIFFERENCE!!!”

I despise liberals and respectable conservatives. I would be deeply worried about myself if they didn’t call me a racist. I would also be worried if they didn’t call me a sexist.

When I was appointed Director of an Oversight staff on Capitol Hill, my first hire was a woman who had previously held high positions as my Assistant Director. Back then none of the antidiscrimination laws Congress had applied to everybody else applied to Congress itself. A congressman could openly hire only white males to higher positions, and many did.

Nobody congratulated me on my socially progressive hiring of a woman to the number two spot. Everybody knew damned well that I was not socially progressive.

In fact, my male staff had a problem reporting to a woman as their superior.
I hired her because I needed a woman in that slot.

If you go to any successful political event, you will see the men walking around as the leadership and you will see women doing the work. This is sexism in action.

It also works.

If I want something done, I turn it over to a woman. There is nothing more realistic than a woman. Men have the attention span of a fly on LSD. Women do it.

I have heard endless legions of men say, “Women just don’t get it.”

They are perfectly right. There are many things that women just don’t “get.” That is what men are for.

Vive le difference!

When you say, “Women just don’t get it” you are complaining about the thing that justifies the existence of men in any organization.

When the Great Man makes his Great Decision, he turns it over to his female Office Manager, what amateurs call his “secretary,” to “handle the details.”

When the Great Hunter came back from the hunt with the meat, he turned it over “to the women.” When he sired a child, he left it to “the women” to make the new generation survive, which happens to be the whole point of human existence.

This is something women’s libbers just don’t get. They take the male view that what women are reduced to doing is just the details. To a real woman, raising the new generation is the point. While men think they are using her for that, a real woman thinks she is using men for that.

My Assistant Director was never satisfied until the job was done. She didn’t sit around and talk theory like the men did. She stayed with the project, as the total realist she was, and got things done.

I hired her because I am a sexist.

It worked.

“Reader” Books

Posted by Bob in Insider Letter Archive on 08/14/2004

Why Johnny Can’t Think: America’s Professor-Priesthood is not just a book, it is a campaign. I would like you on our team.

I always need people to talk it up, and I would appreciate your doing that. But I also need someone to perform another function. I need someone to STUDY the book.

I have what I call “reader” books. They are books where I can open to any page and read a few minutes. Eric Hoffer wrote books like that. Some history books are like that, especially the old ones.

I wish you would make my book a “reader” book. Keep it handy and read it when you have a few minutes to fill between tasks or when you’re waiting.

Many of my reader books eventually got warped from my reading them in the bath tub. But I remember almost everything in them. I would love to send the author my thoughts as I go along. With this project, you can do that.

Don’t make it WORK, though. If my book is not interesting that way, you can tell me how to make it a better reader book.

When I was young, I used to wander around reading Hoffer and other reader books as reader books. That’s where my real education came from. It would be wonderful if we could get a few young people to do that.

I need that. Our team needs that.

That’s what Why Johnny Can’t Think: America’s Professor-Priesthood is really for. A few young minds latching on to my book as a reader book would be armed warriors against the lies, just as I was. They will be more lifelong warriors like me.

You could help me make it that kind of book. If it isn’t a good reader book for you, tell me what I can do to make it so.

Young people and their reader books determine the future of the world.

Many of my reader books were medical history. I was already prepared for the liberal professors of our primitive social sciences when I got to college because I already knew in detail about the insanity of primitive medicine. I was not intimidated by a University Doctor talking completely destructive insanity. On the contrary, I expected it.

A few people like that would win our battles for us. That’s what I meant when I said this is more a campaign than a book. This is not intended to be just another book one agrees or disagrees with. It is a weapon people need to keep with them the way a soldier bears his arms. It is a surprise attack on every stupid liberal and respectable conservative argument.

This is a war, and a far more important war than soldiers fight. War heroes make no difference in history. Half a dozen young people who had this as their reader book could make more difference to history than any division of troops I have ever heard of.

You may find an exception or two, but the work you will have to do that will prove my point.

Make this your weapon, and tell me how to do that better. This is not just a book, this is a call to revolution. Read it, reread it.

Join my team.
