Part one

Since I am moving and will stop caring about the State of Wisconsin here is part one of my last posts.

Those who call people who disagree with Obama or any left leaning person/group idiots,bigots, etc:
FUCK YOU. Everyone has there own opinion, I tolerate your view so tolerate mine. If I believe Obama is a bad choice for POTUS it is based on his LIMITED record and NOT his skin color.
Gov Diamond Jim Doyle and the rest of the tax and spend crowd in Madison(EVERYONE) should immediately have all the assets they have be confiscated. So they can really "feel the pain" they are inflicting on the hard working people.
To Eugene Kane and the local media:
You are the bigots, hate mongering, close minded people you so rally against. The venom you spew on a regular basis against people that disagree with you is truly amazing. Yet you really do not see it. At least I admit when I am called out on being closed minded. I do not judge a person on skin color, I base my opinion on actions and words.
The local media claiming the are Milwaukee's News leaders or whatever, you DO NOT COVER ALL OF MILWAUKEE!! On a regular basis I see more stories from I-94 north to Port Washington, from the lake to Okachee. Rarely do I hear anything about anything from I-94 south to the county line and from the lake west to the Waukesha county line. And don't give me the BULLSHIT excuse that nothing happens, It happens on this side of town also.

More motorcycle news

When are stories like this are going to stop? No one in the law enforcement or law making sectors are saying anything but they focus on seat belts or a private business allowing smoking. My goodness these stories are examples of what happens when you hand out drivers licenses to people that should never be behind the wheel.

Afraid are they?

Headline from WISN reads: State Democrats Oppose Walker's Motorcycle Tour

To sum it up the Democrats think that Scott Walker is using public money to go on a ride and use this as a campaign tool for his gubernatorial bid. And they claim he can nit be trusted to keep his campaign for Governor and the promotion of the Milwaukee area.
To quote from the article "We all know that Walker is set to launch his campaign next Tuesday, and this is nothing more than a thinly-veiled campaign tour designed to get Walker media exposure in markets around the state," said Jason Stephany of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
That could be further from the truth. Mr. Walker has been doing this ride around the state for several years to promote the Milwaukee area without using it a campaigning tool for himself.
The Democrats need to take the eyes off of Governor "Diamond" Jim Doyle's sagging approval ratings, proposed tax hikes, fund raids, semi-scandals, and lies in order to keep the power they have gotten.

Roundabouts

This love affair with roundabouts is getting out of hand. Now they want to place a whole bunch on south 27th street at some very interesting locations. The one that gets me is Sycamore Street which is the entrance and exit for Wal-mart and Sam's Club. Right now its bad enough to get in and out of those lots, the roundabout would make things worse (in my opinion).

Another WTH moment

My wife got a letter over the weekend from the State Patrol. According to them they linked via the driver license database and vehicle registration database and found that she is a part owner of a motorcycle and does not have the proper endorsement to operate it. I am the only one in the house that rides the motorcycle and she is on the title of the bike because this is a community property state.
My thinking is ... WT H, They can do this but they can not do the Real ID checks?

Crap

I can not muster any emotions towards politics

Obama Lied People Might Die

I thought the left and Obama were against the war and wanted to pull out troops from Iraq. But then again they LIED

Half of state's National Guard deploying to Iraq

Wasn't the stimulus package designed for this?

Another Wal-Mart Post

We all have heard that the family of the poor gentleman who got trampled to death at the Wal-Mart store near NYC. Well, I have a little advice for the family and lawyers even tho I'm not a lawyer.
1. Sue every department/big chain store in the nation!
Wal-Mart did not create the atmosphere in which this tragedy occurred. That company has only followed what the competition had started. A lot of stores have/or offer so called "early bird" specials. I rememember stores offering anyone who entered the store additional discounts if they where there inbetween 5am and 7am.
2. Sue/go after anyone that bought anything immediately after the incident.
If they paid by check or credit card it would be easy to find them. These people are the ones who really created the mab mentality that day.

Why????

I found this on the MJS website and I thought i would comment.

The Cudahy Common Council's decision to reject a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter is disappointing, but the world's largest retailer will look for other ways to serve customers in that area, a company spokeswoman said today.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Lisa Nelson declined to say whether the Tuesday night council vote has definitely killed plans for a Supercenter, a combined supermarket and discount store, in Cudahy. For now, she said, Wal-Mart will focus on its other Milwaukee-area planned Supercenters, including projects in Waukesha, Muskego, Franklin and Milwaukee's south side.

The 137,000-square-foot Cudahy Supercenter was to anchor a retail development proposed by Continental Properties Co. for 26 acres, south of E. Layton Ave., between S. Nicholson Ave. and Sweet Applewood Lane. That is the site of the failed Iceport project.

What in the heck are they thinking? With the economy the way it is why turn down a job creating business. Oh, that's because it's Wal-Mart. With the loss of so many factory jobs in the area these towns and cities need to really look at what Wal-Mart and other big box stores would bring.

Look at every Wal-Mart and what do you see,other business's building around them! At the old Capitol Court you have a new mall that is either full or darn near it. The old Southgate Mall area has started to recover. In short, get over this anti Wal-Mart mentality and start rebuilding the local economy.

Happy Lefties??

In reading blogs and other forums it appears that the Democrats and the left are very hostile in their comments on posts, even when things go their way. They cannot find any happiness in their lives so they need to make those who are happy or positive miserable.

1. When someone has a religion, the left attacks that religion.(except Muslim)
   
2. If someone works hard and reaps the benefits of their labor the left wants to guilt the person(s) into thinking it is evil.
3. If someone criticizes them they go into name calling, race card playing, verbal and/or physical intimidation.

Please don't use the false argument that it is the Republicans and the right that does #3 all the time. This does not fly with me on any level. That is because it very rarely happens and if it does it would be well documented and frankly I have yet to see any news stories that are credible.

How I feel after the Elections

Bad Finger Day

Here I sit at the keyboard on a Friday afternoon with little good to say so I will let my filter rest.

First of all WTF are the voters in Milwaukee thinking?? Passing an tax raise proposed by the county board. You all should be ashamed of yourselves, I do NOT want to hear from those who claim they were misled by the wording or it's to lower property taxes. Those lines are bulls&$t!!! The last raise they got they claimed the same thing and did the property tax go down??? NO. As far as the wording of the question, Yes at first glance it was a little confusing but after reading it over a second time it becomes clear.

Second, I am sick and tired of the coverage by EVERYONE in this last election cycle. Here are some reasons:
The MSM

• for the non stop gushing over Obama
• For ignoring stories that reflect negatively on Obama
• The negative tone towards anyone who disagreed
• The race & income baiting
  

Bloggers/New Media

• For the negativity towards Obama
• following the Obama's lead of race/class baiting in spending time writing about it
• The negative tone towards anyone who disagreed

I know that not everyone in the MSM and the Blogger worlds fell into this, but enough did.

Mark Reardon

I found out where Mark landed. He has a gig In St. Louis on KMOX, he is on from 0200 to 0500 (2am to 5am) weekdays.

I DISLIKE JACKSON/MCGEE JR

Thank you junior Jackson/McGee. You have turned another street into a mob scene. Your suggestion of using Miller Park for "cruising" was misunderstood by some of those who where using Capital Drive to mean Miller Park Way. I found out around 2330hrs (11:30PM) when I witnessed some fools blowing a red light on Miller Park Way (South 43rd st) around Lincoln Ave while we were returning from the sis-in-laws.

I noticed that you (Jackson/McGee) did not offer any streets or other venues near where you live. Instead you just want to make others miserable. I have a better spot for those who want to "cruise" like what has been happening on Capital Dr and now Miller Park Way, go to 5th street and "cruise" from Wisconsin Ave north.

Memorable Words

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.

We hear much of special interest groups. Well, our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we're sick -- professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truckdrivers. They are, in short, ``We the people,'' this breed called Americans.

Well, this administration's objective will be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy that provides equal opportunities for all Americans with no barriers born of bigotry or discrimination. Putting America back to work means putting all Americans back to work. Ending inflation means freeing all Americans from the terror of runaway living costs. All must share in the productive work of this ``new beginning,'' and all must share in the bounty of a revived economy. With the idealism and fair play which are the core of our system and our strength, we can have a strong and prosperous America, at peace with itself and the world.

So, as we begin, let us take inventory. We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.

Were number 6

I just love this story from the JS "Wisconsin dips to No. 6 in tax burden" "Different ranking says No. 14". 

I'm so happy we dropped somewhat, but we can do more to lower things.

In the article it has this - "Per capita, the group said, Wisconsin ranked somewhat lower at 12th in the nation, with an average tax burden of $3,714 a person. A third measure, focusing only on the "big three" state and local taxes that most individuals pay - income, sales and property taxes - ranked Wisconsin third overall, behind only New York and Maine, the group said." Add in other "fees" and taxes, we might be higher.

 

(logic check)Link this with the stories on business's leaving Wisconsin, the Milwaukee County Board wanting anywhere from a 1/4% to a 1% INCREASE in sales taxes, some Milwaukee Common Council members wanting trollies, MATC wanting more $$$$, the list goes on and on, and what do you get? A TAX HECK!!!

 

But according to the left we don't live in one. They just want to add more spending and finance them through more "fees", "sin" taxes, and outright tax hikes.

Lest We Forget

"We began by letting the world know what we stood for once again. Winston Churchill said of his service in World War II, the nation ``had the lion's heart. I had the luck to give the roar.'' Well, America is the lion's heart of democracy. We have an obligation to give that democracy a voice, even an occasional roar.

For too long our nation had been moot to the injustices of totalitarianism. So we began speaking out against chemical warfare; inflicted on the people of Afghanistan and Southeast Asia, against broken treaties, against the denial of human liberties. We began speaking out for freedom and democracy and the values that all of us share in our hearts.

Now some critics said that this was a return to the rhetoric of the past. Well, if that's the case, then Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn and all those who've suffered to speak the truth are my compatriots, and I'm honored to be counted among them. This nation cannot simply ignore the suffering of oppressed peoples and remain true to our basic strengths and principles. We cannot follow a foreign policy based on the self-delusion that problems would not exist if we did not mention them. We cannot abdicate our obligation to speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.

And, you know, it's amazing. In my meetings with foreign leaders and their ministers, they've told me how good it is to know what the United States stands for once again. They may not always agree with us, but they respect us. And there's a growing recognition abroad that America once again will stand up for her democratic ideals. Our country is the leader of the free world, and today it is providing that leadership." Ronald Reagan - August 15, 1983

GPS transmitters

GPS transmitters on convicted sex offenders who targeted children is a good idea, but we need to add another group to this program. We need to add multiple drunk drivers. I don't mean just the ones that have 2 DUI's in the last 10 years, but those who have 2 or more in less than 5 years. There are many stories that some that have upwards of 5 or more DUI convictions, these people are still drinking and driving. This is in addition to making it a felony for the 3rd and additional conviction.

Illegal immigrant Protests

I was reading the JS article on the protests and a few things in the story caught my attention.

All this over the idea of craking down on the ILLEGAL's that are either in this country or about to enter.

On Monday, California's Cesar Chavez Day, more than 22,000 students marched out of Los Angeles-area schools, including the San Fernando Valley and the wealthy coastal enclave of Pacific Palisades, said Monica Carazo, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles school district.

Note: High School students.

In some areas, teachers and administrators walked with students "as a safety measure," Carazo said.

Ya I believe that.

"I want you to know that there are people right now all across the country that agree with you that we need immigration reform that rewards work, that gives people a pathway to citizenship, that allows families to stay together," Villaraigosa told the crowd.

But he drew jeers when he added: "Now that you've come, it's important that you go back to school."

Of course the kids 'jeered'

 

"We are illegal immigrants if you trace our heritage all the way back, but we are here and we are working and we are living the American dream," said Janet Padron, a 22-year-old Allen Park resident.

Not my family, we came here LEGALLY.

"Do you see the community?" Padron asked, pointing to the thousands of people around her. "Do you see how many people didn't go to work today?"

Lets see:

High school students work when in school ... nope

Teachers and administrors ... maybe

College students ... nope

Detroit ... unemployment rate of 7.6%, good chance of some having no work and plenty of time to 'protest'
