The Liberal Mentality

A basic characteristic of the liberal is a lack of confidence in the individual’s ability to make it through life without government support.   And the belief that government has the capability to step in and, without fail, fill that ability gap.

College Student Voting

I am amazed that college students, whose permanent residents are elsewhere, are able to vote in the jurisdiction in which they attend school.   I spent 4 years at the University of Kansas and never would have dreamed of voting in Lawrence, Kansas elections.   I was a resident of Oak Park, Illinois.   Why should I interfere with Lawrence, Kansas politics?

Students should be studying when at school.   Getting involved in political activities while away from home at school is counter-productive to their education process.   It should also be illegal as that is not their permanent residence.

If a student wants to vote, fine.   But go home and do it!

Union Day?

I see that Robin Vos and Van Wanggaard are both considering ditching the Labor Day festivities. That is apparently because the unions don't like either of them.

Republican Pam Galloway is unwelcome by the unions in the Labor Day parade up in Wausau.

Since when did Labor Day become Union Day? I though the holiday was for the purpose of honoring the working people of the nation upon whose backs all this oppressive government spending is dependent. What has that got to do with unions?
