No disrespect, but I say that because you don’t say you are going to do something (clean them out of the state house) and then back down at the last minute. Hell, that’s parenting 101. And these liberal idiots are spoiled children and Walker is the adult. In my opinion, he caved. He blinked.
I think the facts will come out, and it will resolve in a day or two anyway with the budget release. I suggest listening to Wisco news/talk, which btw, is far more accurate than FNC. It may seem like Walker blinked on the capitol, but I am not so sure—I will wait before passing judgment. I don’t see him as a blinker on the bill; the most important issue. Tho the protesters are acting like babies, as a parent of 3, I won’t claim to know more about governing than the governor or that there aren’t extenuating circumstances to which I’m not privy. For ex. on FR threads, I’ve read that Madison PD didn’t want to provide backup, transportation, or facilities for holding etc. If true, how/where would you take protesters? Walker may have good reasons for not sending out the National Guard & keeping lid on violence instead of capitol becoming a bigger distraction to make a point. Maybe he doesn’t want to win the battle and lose the war? I have seen many threads this week with posts from folks from all over the country who don’t know all the facts who are armchair quarterbacking & criticizing this courageous governor who IMHO has been a true example of grace under fire, and one of the first and only politicians to truly tackle these problems. I just can’t say anything negative about him at this point.
No disrespect, but Parenting 101 ex. is particularly poignant for me...especially as it relates to discipline. There were times when my parenting was criticized; I couldn’t find “parenting 101” for my particular family dynamic. My kids just didn’t fit in the neat profiles so common in parenting books; profoundly gifted kids are like that. However, working thru issues, and not using pat answers, they managed to have a relatively happy and trouble-free childhood and have grown into bright, caring, and professionally/personally successful adults—but there was no parenting 101. Sometimes things seem very simple on the outside, but only to those who don’t know the facts.
