What Does Newsweek Have Against Conservative Women?

And now the National Organization for Women agrees. Its president told the Daily Caller the cover is, quote, "sexist."

But this isn't the first time Newsweek has had a questionable cover. Back in 2009, Newsweek put out this cover of Sarah Palin with the title, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?"

Are these just unflattering photos or is Newsweek sending their readers a message?

Joining me now with reaction are Fox News contributor and one of the co-hosts of "Five," right here on Fox News are Monica Crowley, and she is the author of "Outnumbered," Daily Caller columnist, Jedediah Bila. Great to have you with us.

Good to see you, Mon. I don't think I've seen you since we took our vacation to Gitmo.

MONICA CROWLEY, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR:  We'll always have Gitmo, Marc.

STEYN:  We'll always have Gitmo. (INAUDIBLE) one of those cages, you can't beat it. I made it sound more exciting than it was, if any members of Monica's family are listening.

Monica, is this part of a pattern of attitudes by so-called progressive liberals to female conservatives?

CROWLEY:  Absolutely. Look, they hate all conservatives. But they have a special kind of loathing for women conservatives and in particular women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.

In the 2008 campaign, the mainstream media savaged Sarah Palin in every way. She has been incredibly resilient because she is a very strong woman. They are doing the exact same thing to Michele Bachmann. This Newsweek cover is going to be the first of many things we are going to see in this regard.

The reason is, Marc, because these strong conservative women represent an existential threat to liberalism. That is that they are pro-life, pro-gun, fiscal conservatives who actually lead their lives according to those values. They don't just talk a good line. They actually live what they believe.

And therefore, they must have be destroyed because if somebody like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann were to gain real traction with a broader American electorate then that gender gap that the Democrats have relied on for decades, disappears like that.

STEYN:  But you say that Monica, but they do damage not just with liberals and independents, but they eat into a kind of soft conservative vote. I can't tell you how many people who claim to be Republican voters who say to me oh, it is honestly embarrassing having Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. They do do damage.

What you need to consider when researching your ... - Family Crests

If you are researching your family’s coat of arms you may think that it is as simple as looking on a website and choosing the crest or coat of arms that is connected with your last name. This is one way that you can go about it but it may not actually give you the proper crest or coat of arms that belonged to your family.

This is because different members of the same family may have subtle differences in the shield or crest that they carried. There may have been subtle differences in the colors, patterns or images that appeared on your ancestor’s crest or coat of arms. In the past it was illegal for one person to bear a crest or coat of arms that belonged to them and if you want to avoid making the same mistake, you need to do a little research.

First steps to finding your coat of arms One of the first things to look at is your ancestor’s position in their family. This may have meant that there were different charges on their crest or coat of arms. A charge is an image of a plant, animal, person or object that appeared on a crest or coat of arms. If an individual performed some extraordinary task for a monarch or an organization (such as the Church) they may have been permitted to place certain images on their crest or coat of arms.

As you can see, it is important to find out what your ancestor’s precise coat of arms or crest would have looked like. Here are a few tips that you can use in order to find out what crest or coat of arms to use.

Look into your family’s genealogical history

You can find a lot of information online. There are family history websites that may have information on your ancestors and the coats of arms that they may have carried. You should also look at the accomplishments of your family as a whole as they may have meant that a crest or coat of arms changed over the years.
