Either way, both left-wingers continue their respective efforts to destroy America as we know it.<\/p>\n<p>Before we continue with the above, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Presidential Medal of Freedom<\/a> is the highest civilian honor awarded in the United States, usually given to those who have made \u201cexemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/07\/01\/president-biden-announces-recipients-of-the-presidential-medal-of-freedom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced by the White House Friday<\/a>, Rapinoe is among 17 people tapped by Biden (his left-wing handlers, that is) to receive the prestigious honor.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>These seventeen Americans demonstrate the power of possibilities and embody the soul of the nation \u2013 hard work, perseverance, and faith.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/megan-rapinoe-who-claimed-girls-sporting-careers-arent-that-important-will-receive-the-presidential-medal-of-freedom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a> by OutKick, the announcement comes just days after Rapinoe declared that the overturn of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> was a \u201cviolent onslaught on women\u2019s bodies.\u201d (No word from Rapinoe on the \u201cviolent onslaught\u201d against the bodies of helpless unborn children.)<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, isn\u2019t it amazing that the leftists were instantaneously able to define a woman when the <em>Roe<\/em> overturn was announced \u2014 with nary a <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/sister-toldjah\/2022\/03\/25\/so-has-ketanji-brown-jackson-consulted-with-a-biologist-yet-n541054\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biologist<\/a> among them?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as is the case with all liberals, the depth of Rapinoe\u2019s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Here we have a super-staunch advocate of women\u2019s rights, including on-demand abortion until birth, who doesn\u2019t believe those rights extend to women\u2019s sports \u2014 yet she herself is presumably paid substantial money to play women\u2019s sports against other women. Hypocritical as hell? You betcha.<\/p>\n<p>Rapinoe and commentary, as transcribed from OutKick:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI would encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone\u2019s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid,\u201d by \u2018someone\u2019 she means a transgender athlete, \u201cto really take a step back and think what we\u2019re actually talking about. We\u2019re talking about people\u2019s lives. I\u2019m sorry. Your kid\u2019s high school volleyball team just isn\u2019t that important.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Why not? Besides, if a young girl\u2019s sports efforts \u201cjust aren\u2019t that important,\u201d what incentive does an \u201cunimportant\u201d young female athlete have to compete and develop and perhaps one day become a collegiate athlete or even a pro? You know, like hypocritical-as-hell Megan Rapinoe?<\/p>\n<p>As to the Presidential Medal of Freedom, here\u2019s how the White House announcement describes Rapinoe:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Megan Rapinoe is an Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women\u2019s World Cup champion. She also captains OL Reign in the National Women\u2019s Soccer League. She is a prominent advocate for gender pay equality, racial justice, and LGBTQI+ rights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Question: Who on the far-left isn\u2019t an advocate for gender pay equality, racial justice, and LGBTQI+ rights? Ah, but it\u2019s that \u201cprominent part.\u201d In other words, Megan Rapinoe is an influencer who, presumed by the Biden White House, it appears, does a damn fine job of championing \u201call of the above.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OutKick noted the same, albeit in stronger words:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In reality, Rapinoe is receiving this award because she publicly declares her allegiance to the correct set of progressive principles. That often requires hypocrisy or dismissive, patronizing statements towards people concerned with fairness and biological advantages.<\/p>\n<p>She excels at both, and so receives one of the country\u2019s highest honors.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an embarrassment to the Medal of Freedom that someone so shamelessly committed to inaccurate activism will join recipients who are actual American heroes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Amen. All of the above.<\/p>\n<p>As announced by the White House, other recipients include U.S. Olympics gymnast Simone Biles, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, the late Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, late-Republican Sen. John McCain, and late-president of the powerful AFL-CEO labor union, Richard Trumka.<\/p>\n<p>No word on why George Floyd was not among the \u201cwinners\u201d [supreme sarcasm].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related on RedState:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/sister-toldjah\/2021\/03\/31\/megan-rapinoe-proves-once-and-for-all-what-a-lousy-spokesperson-for-womens-equality-she-truly-is-n353353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Megan Rapinoe Proves Once and for All What a Lousy Spokesperson for \u2018Women\u2019s Equality\u2019 She Truly Is<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/brandon_morse\/2020\/01\/14\/the-olympics-have-banned-political-protest-at-events-and-megan-rapinoe-breaks-out-the-salt-n125486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Olympics Banned Political Protest at Events and Megan Rapinoe Isn\u2019t Taking It Well<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2020\/02\/05\/journalists-run-to-trash-rush-limbaugh-after-he-receives-the-medal-of-honor-n127642\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Journalists\u2019 Run to Trash Rush Limbaugh After He Receives the Medal of Freedom<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, who\u2019s worse?
