The thinking then was that the same thing would happen here in a decade or so, when the bills from our overindulgence in socialism started coming due. Yeah, it didn't even take a year, and already the babies in Wisconsin are throwing their own tantrum. It's truly pathetic how quickly this nation's slide has accelerated since, oh, November 2008 or so.<br /><br />Speaking of cowards, the Democrats fleeing the state to avoid doing their job (excuse me, "stand up for the working class", according to Pelosi) isn't a new tactic. They did the same thing in Texas in 2010 to avoid a vote they didn't like. I can't imagine the outrage if a Republican minority pulled such a stunt.<br /><br />I'm trying to figure out how much I would pay to swap our governor with either the state to the north or east.trogdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452996348717802065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-27884173507498227062011-02-19T18:56:12.494-06:002011-02-19T18:56:12.494-06:00The sooner they walk the sooner they get into thin...The sooner they walk the sooner they get into things or go places they're not supposed to.

I know this one woman who, upon the slightest inquiry about her work schedule, would either stare at you and say that she'd need to talk to the union about it, or reply accusingly to your email while cc-ing the union chapter president, if she weren't there to tell you to your face. (Okay, so she doesn't do that upon every single occasion, but she's ready to bite you if you accidentally step on her.) <br /><br />Like Robert, I see the value for unions if the management is unfair, corrupt and/or oppressive (have heard of a happy union story, too). However, when people abuse the system and use unions as their support for that, that's when I'd say, "Pleeeeeeeeeeze get them away from me!!!" <br /><br />2.

I wouldn't want to wrestle a woman, not because I fear sexual attraction, but because I'd be afraid of putting my big clumsy hands somewhere inappropriate by accident.

If it is training, then they should train all in. But if it is mere competition, then it should not be mixed. A quick google image of high school wrestling will quickly demonstrate why.Amy T Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569004745438885109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-33621342731784284212011-02-18T19:12:32.371-06:002011-02-18T19:12:32.371-06:00Oh, and she wants bacon toothpaste.Oh, and she wants bacon toothpaste.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152975528916503079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-15523809513602387972011-02-18T19:10:30.270-06:002011-02-18T19:10:30.270-06:00I'm visiting family and showed my young niece ...I'm visiting family and showed my young niece the horse and the roof jumper.

Just to add some nuance to the story. I heard a bit of Rush today. He was lamenting the fact that when he was in high school he was forced to take ballroom dancing classes, taught by a drill sergeant. Now high school boys get to roll around on wrestling mats with girls. My how times have changed!<br /><br />DS played on a co-ed indoor soccer team for a couple months and really struggled with it. Indoor soccer, although not as 'hands on' as wrestling, can get pretty physical. He always felt himself naturally holding back against the girls. Something inside him would not let him freely act aggressively toward them. Was that a God-given instinct or just the way he was raised? I think maybe it's an important theological question that must be wrestled with (punny, sorry!). <br /><br />Regarding the socially moderate conservative....there has been quite a bit of fallout from CPAC (which should have been renamed LPAC because of the libertarian flavor of the conference this year). Al Cardenas, the new chairman of the American Conservative Union (the group that puts on CPAC) said this week that groups advocating gay marriage and repealing DADT might not be invited back to CPAC:<br /><br /> <em>"If you are a group, and this has got nothing to do with your orientation... and you advocate gay marriage, that’s not within the scope of what we believe the three legs of the stool of the movement are.”</em><br /><br />Hopefully this means Ron Paul and his lunatic fringe won't be back again next year either. <br /><br />There were a couple thoughtful speakers at CPAC who spoke boldly about the necessity of all three legs of the conservative stool - fiscal, social issues, and national defense. Standouts include Rick Santorum, Rep. Paul Ryan, and Rep. Allen West.Paula Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567777774272590296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-19204544044629821352011-02-18T16:21:06.371-06:002011-02-18T16:21:06.371-06:00I'll match your horse and raise you a cheesebu...I'll match your horse and raise you a cheeseburger...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PErFJsqbUqo&feature=relatedKylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137758239305541715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-30437480716722352112011-02-18T15:44:07.338-06:002011-02-18T15:44:07.338-06:00In confirmation of some of the quotes above, our R...In confirmation of some of the quotes above, our Republican Senators in Wisconsin are now reporting threats of physical violence.
