I would say there are two main thoughts a person may have of a SAHM. Either they think that's great, or they think we'll she's just wasting her life away. Well I have to admit I do sometimes feel like I'm wasting my life away, my brain is turning to mush, yada yada all that stereotypical stuff, but its worth it for my kids. Then there's the working mom, which I've done and am doing right now. I really would not want to go back to work full time while any of my children are little. Don't get me wrong I very much respect mom's who work full-time. I know its very challenging-that's why I wouldn't want to do it again. I know many SAHMs who would give a working mom that shameful dissaproving look. Why though why is there two sides to this seemingly unsolveable problem? What caused the "Mommy Wars"?
I really believe its the, as Rush Limbaugh likes to call them, FemeNazis, we have to blame for the very unfair and plain just not right scenario we have ourselves in American culture. The women who say the biblical worldview is wrong because it approves a patriarchal, phalocentric thinking society, they are the Femenazi's.
Don't get me wrong about feminism, because I really believe women are better off because of the feminist movement, or are we? Well we can vote, and we don't have to put up with our husband's crap, and we can work and have our own money. We can go out and have sex with as many men we want and call it "TEST DRIVING THE CAR BEFORE WE BUY IT" We can find ourselves pregnant and take a pill to make sure there isn't any "consequences" to pay for all that test-driving.
So what do you say are we really better off in this world today? I really think many women would have to say no not really because now the mom's have two jobs to do. Not only do they have to go win the bread, but they have to come home and bake it too!
To all the Femenazis out there who say the biblical worldview is wrong I challenge your thinking. Behind every great man in the bible there is a great woman. Women really have a way at getting men to do exactly what they want done. Eve got what she wanted. Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Ruth, Debra, Hannah, Tamar, Delilah and so many others. These women have the greatest stories to tell.
Those stories are written right in with stories of the men; its not the bible who has forgotten the contribution of women its society and culture passed down from generations. You see when a man turned to a coward, or waivered in their faith, there was always a woman or women who would step up to the plate.
As women we need to find who we are in Jesus. He knows who we are, not our families or our friends. Not our neighbors or our bosses. He created each of us for a purpose. I've finally found that purpose and no longer am I going to strive to achieve the success or standards other people expect of me. The only reason I really like Rush's nickname for "FemeNAZI's" is because like NAZIs feminists tend to force their beliefs on anyone and everyone, infiltrating media, schools, even to the government level.
Rush also said all of the women of the feminist movement are dumbfounded by the phenomenon of women moving from the the career-oriented, self-centered world, back into their homes to take care of the children. These same feminist women are finding out their own daughter's want to be princesses-to have a man sweep them off their feet and take care of them the rest of their lives.
What is so wrong with that? Will someone please tell me what is so wrong with the princess mentality? I mean aren't we all princesses in God's kingdom waiting for our Prince Jesus? I don't know about you, but I'm eagerly waiting for that day I see my beloved the love of my soul!

Dodge Challenger
I'm not really a connoisseur of cars, I'm much more of a meddling mom of 3 who recognizes the importance of American made technology as a thriving piece in our economy.
I'm also the wife of a Dodge Jeep salesman, so I could say yes I'm a bit bias toward Dodges (Chrysler).
Love at first site is common in my life, and I was ready to elope the first moment my eyes fell on the Dodge Challenger. If a car ever gratified that place in me that finds bliss in an automobile, the Dodge Challenger found that sweet spot!
The hype of the new Chevrolet Camaro and the popularity of the Ford Mustang do not "get 'er done" so to speak.
The thrill of the ride is only awarded to the Dodge Challenger's sleek 70s style rock hard muscle. If ever there was a car that deserved balls this car is it!!

My husband works at a Five Star Dodge Dealer in Urbandale, Iowa.
Check out current available inventory of 2009 Challenger's available at Stew Hansen's (please don't forget to ask for my husband, Jeff Madison, if you call)

About the Blog
With the economy in shambles and politicians, economists, corporations, and groups postulating that they have the formula for what it takes to get us back on track, I haved decided that we need to stand up as a people and to put our ideas forward.
I am proud to be American. Many would say that pride is the reason much of the world is happy for our failed economy because somehow it is bad that Americans have been prosperous for so long, it is somehow only fair or right that we would eventually fail.
I for one disagree with that statement and say that as Americans we have to band together. We the people of the United States have to come together and stop allowing bureaucracy and politics and special interest groups and lobbyists and corporations run us! We have to stop drinking the k00l-aid, and I'm not just talking about Obama's kool-aid either.
My husband is a car salesman and I am a business owner and Collector for a financial institution. We are average Joe's here in America who are being squeezed right now. His job saw a dramatic loss in sales in October after the media told Americans to not even bother trying to get a car loan because banks were not loaning any money! All retail sales followed suit and we are beginning to see the job losses and other repercussions of the recession.
So now comes the uncertainty of a new Presidential Administration. The people voted for "change" but I'm cynical of the change making much of a difference on the dire circumstances of our nation.
The next administration is seemingly friendly with the American auto industry looking to provide them with more bailout money. How do we allow an industry that is the heart and soul of America to fail, but how do we continue to bail out the industry that obviously has a bad business plan?
Much of the problem came with regulations imposed by making the autmaker's in the US pay workers exorbitant pay as compared to the foreign automaker's who did not have to be regulated by unions. Yes many of the foreign automakers have chosen to make cars here in the US but those companies do not have to pay their workers the same amount of money or pay lifelong pensions.
A couple of ideas I am standing by are to put a cap on the amount of cars that can be imported from other countries or can be made here by importers, and to provide Americans with incentives to purchase American vehicles. Another idea that my state senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) has been promoting, is for the big dogs at the top 3 automakers to take salary cuts like Lee Iococa from Chrysler did back in the 80s. I think I read that Iococa took a 1 cent salary!!!
Why stop with the automaker CEOs though? What about AIG top dogs and other CEOs that are getting tax-payer bailout money?
Please write your legislators to let them know how you feel about this.
