Wisconsin Democrats Continue their Child's Play

Wisconsin Democrats continue their juvenile act this week.  The interesting thing to me in this article was when the Democratic leader of the Wisconsin legislature said the only person that could end the fight was the Republican governor.  The ironic thing here is the fact that the all the Democrats fleeing the state could stop it to if they would simply stand up and let the democratic process be what it is to be.  When you are voted against, accept defeat.  Al Gore is not president, he accepted defeat.  He went on and is living his life and does not go around parading around the fact that he should be president.  Child's play, that is exactly what it is. Move on Wisconsin, move on.  Grow up and move on.

The Biggest Dog in the Fight

To me, the violence that is happening around the world in Egypt, in the island nation in this article is something I can't wrap my head around.  I mean, why is it o.k. when you don't agree with something to start shooting and drop tear gas.  But then one with an American societal stand point can't judge someone where their government does the same back, or even instigates the force.  So, ethically one (meaning I) struggles with the right course of action.  Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr. where advocates of nonviolent protests.  They seemed to work for them (well, most would say that).  But, it has to be hard.  What is the right thing to do?

Aren't We Suppose to Be Grown Ups?

My first thought when reading this article is really?  I mean how old are you?  Aren't you suppose to be a professional?  Politics is so much like a play ground brawl it sickens me.  Its like the poor kids who didn't get enough attention in elementary school are running the government.  Besides that, when someone takes an oath of office it is my opinion they don't get to simply bow out when the going gets tough.  So, not that you will read this, but Wisconsin senators, go back to work.  Even if your bill gets defeated take it like a big kid and move on.  George Washington didn't quit at Valley Forge.  That is if they understand that reference.

Barbara Bush Supports Gay Marriage.....AND?

I feel sorry for Barbara Bush.  Even when your Dad is no longer president your political opinions get doused just because of your last name.  Do I believe in gay marriage? No, but, Barbara Bush has a right to an opinion.  She owns that right.  The quote they used from her mom was interesting.  I applaud her for taking a step away from her parents beliefs.  Now if only some Kennedy's would do that (jk. lol.)
