Smart Girl Summit 2010: Mama Grizzlies In The Wild

If you rely on leftist blogs or even the alleged mainstream media, you’d think that Mama Grizzlies/conservative women are actually some strange form of wildlife to be peered at curiously. For some, making sport of them has become a hobby. Instead of seeing the caricature made of them by the “Press,” why not come meet some in person? See us in our natural habitat, only without our kids and with lots of wine instead. Or, in my case, beer.

Smart Girl Politics‘ 2010 Summit is on September 30th and October 1st and it promises to be both informative and lots of fun. You see, we conservative dames aren’t the freakish oddities that we are made out to be. Nor are we exclusionary; Papa Grizzlies are more than welcome, too. Unlike our leftist counterparts, we do not think men are icky. They don’t oppress us, they complement us.

Citizen’s United recently released a film entitled Fire From The Heartland: The Awakening of the Conservative Woman. Many of the women featured in that movie will be in attendance, and speaking at, Smart Girl Summit. A screening of the movie will take place during the Summit as well. What better time to see that movie than when hobnobbing (Only not as fancy. We aren’t elitists!):  with some of the incredible women featured in it? Lorie Byrd, writing at Big Hollywood, describes the movie — and sums up some of the underlying factors for the apparent rise of the conservative woman:

Another interesting aspect of the movie was listening to women like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter and Michelle Easton talk about how:  they viewed the roles Phylis Schlafly and Margaret Thatcher played in the history of the conservative movement, highlighting how today’s generation of conservative women are just a continuation of those who came before them.

For those surprised that so many of the women becoming active in politics today come from the right side of the aisle the film shows this is an understandable result of the feminist movement.:  : As S.E. Cupp says in the movie, “Women like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are really the unintended consequences of the women’s liberation movement. For liberal feminists, this was not what they bargained for.”

Exactly. We aren’t some new breed of special interest group. We have always been here; we are merely rising to the top now. Thank you, feminists! By ignoring you and your harmful agenda, we *have* come a long way, baby.

The agenda is chock-full of other goodies as well. And not just because I will be on a panel — although you really should attend that one, of course. Tammy Bruce will moderate a panel including me, Jenn Q. Public and the estimable Pamela Gorman wherein we will be discussing Feminism 2.0. And hopefully giving leftist feminists, or Femisogynists, a few whacks. Violence foment-y? Probably, since I’m a conservative. At least I didn’t say “set our sights on.”:  Because, racism.

Oh yeah, the speakers? Take a gander — it’s like a who’s who of women who make the Left foam at the mouth. Women who have spines of steel, brains and beauty. That’s a no-no to the Left. Michele Bachmann, one who is particularly good at causing the Left to go into conniptions, is the keynote speaker:

So, join us September 30th and October 1st at the Crystal City Hyatt Regency.:  Break bread, and wine glasses maybe, with the strong and diverse group of women, and the men who support them, who are at the center of the Conservative movement today. Don’t make me “refudiate” you. We hope to see a lot of you there!

Tip: in between panels, you can probably find me in the bar and not in a stuffy, old pantsuit. That’s right, Meggie Mac. I’m ‘edgy’, too.
