The essence of the Liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment. - Bertrand Russell
Happy GroundHog Day!
6:00am: OK campers, rise and shine! And don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there today!
I wish to thank LLC and Journal Communications for this blogging opportunity...it has been an education.
However, for me to stay would be akin to repeating Bill Murray's character's mistakes in the movie "GroundHog Day".
I do not wish to participate in, nor validate, dialogues involving consistently uninformed opinions and slanderous invective from a couple of self-righteous fools (Jim Hayett & Amy Geiger-Hemmer) over and over and over again.
Real discourse involves listening...something of which these radical, fascist morons are incapable. I validate their stupidity with my presence on this site (Have I been TOO descriptive...?).
REAL Conservatives are worthy of respect..they simply look at things differently than Liberals; yet we are ALL Americans.
Locally, despite his bewildering denial of climate change, we have our own Al Neuhauser, who presents his opinions thoughtfully and gives thoughtful responses.
At the national level we have Ted Olson who, despite winning Bush v. Gore for the Republicans, is a man of great principle and is taking his belief in individual liberty, human rights and dignity all the way to the Supreme Court in his defense of Gay Marriage.
I look forward to seeing those still interested in actual intellectual exchange, mutual listening, SOME silliness, and better citizenry through discourse, at my new blog:

I would like to wake up and say "you're still here!" but I guess no happy ending here. I should just go steal Phil and drive into a quarry haha
Thanks Victor for some informative blogs here, it is always a pleasure to discuss things with a mind that accepts others point of view, something I know I can have troubles with at times myself.

Have a great week!

"dialogues involving consistently uninformed opinions and slanderous invective from a couple of self-righteous fools." You forgot the real culprits behind your meanings: those that are leaving. All you had to do was prove Amy or me as "slanderous invective" without the insults and just the facts. You're running because you failed to do any of that.

Have your new site on my 'favorites' list. Thanks.

@Carl...but in the movie, ONLY Bill Murray's character had to change to pause the wheel of dharma and go out, like a candle. That is not the case at LLC.
As Spinoza would say "...there are men in complete mental blindness, either innate or due to misconceptions...for, in what relates to life and conduct, they are compelled by necessity to suppose that they exist, and seek their own advantage, and often affirm and deny, even with an oath. If they deny, grant, or gainsay, they know not that they deny, grant or gainsay, so that they ought to be regarded as automata, utterly devoid of intelligence."
Hope to see (most) of you all soon... ;-)

How did I do it?
I simply made a conscious effort to avoid clicking on their blogs. It's kind of like when you're walking down the sidewalk and you happen upon a pile of doggy do. Do you stop to examine it ? No, of course not. You recognize it for the steaming pile that it is, then you move to avoid it.
Now, there have been times when the Morons have commented on other blogs, and I've had to sidestep them their as well. But it's not that difficult to simply ignore the A-Holes.
Really.

@jmark have you ever heard the old Cheech and Chong routine when they find some doggy doo?? 'Looks like dog xxxx, smells like dog xxxx, feels like dog xxxx, tastes like dog xxxx. Must be dog xxxx. Good thing we didn't step in it!".

Maybe smoking a bowl prior to logging in is the solution to the problem. Anyone who's ever smoked pot knows it has a pacifying effect. And for those who don't inhale ... have a brownie. :-)

Reforms are Working!
By Jolene Churchill
I’m sure most recall (no pun intended) the liberal lies and foot stomping over
Governor Walker’s path to a balanced budget. The bias liberal MSM, the liberal
run unions, and sadly but not surprising, the state and national teachers union, all
told us that Walker’s move to a balanced budget would be devastating to our
families and our kids in the public school system. Well, well. Not according to the
teachers own survey.
I sent this to the Wisconsin Democratic Party and the Teachers unions asking
them why anyone would want to sign a Walker recall petition now that we have
seen more of the truth. Haven’t heard back as of yet. In fact, what I told these
liberals is we need Walker as our President. Our current idiot in the White House
is lacking expertise, experience, and knowledge as to how to cut spending and
doing so with the least amount of collateral damage. I'm also sending this to the
Milwaukee JS to see if they will report this data. But don't count on this making
any headline news. Or any news at all. Might disrupt the recall. Wouldn't want the
bad ole truth to get in the way. Hasn't before, so why now.
Madison—Today the Department of Public Instruction released the data for a
survey done by the Wisconsin Association of Schools District Administrators. The
administrators for 353 school districts responded, which accounts for 83% of
Wisconsin school districts. The median student to teacher ratio in Wisconsin this
year is 13.5 to 1. Attached is a copy of the survey questions, and the raw data
responses.
