My Friday Night With Liberal Lou

I went to our neighborhood picnic. We live in the west side of Milwaukee. Nice family neighborhood.

So we will call my neighbor hosting the party "Liberal Lou" and neighbor number two is Republican Rob.

L.L. has a bumper sticker that reads: "When Women Vote DemocRATS win." (So this makes me barf already.)

So, it's about 10:30 on Friday night and we all have had a few brewski's and are just "shootn' the shit", talking about movies,etc... Republican Rob (they are both teachers) says "Did ya hear about the case in CA about the kickball?"

Liberal Lou says "Yes, I agree with it.", "Why should kids have to go through "that", being picked last, yadda, yadda, yadda". "It's the same with baseball." "I was always picked last, it doesn't help their self-esteem.".

"We" picked on Liberal Lou for being such a wus. He basically lost the "fight". They are great parents to the only two girls in the neighborhood and they threw a great party, I thanked them for it.

At this point I see my husband and "the republican" side of the picnic ready to blow steam..... :)

The convo fizzled but my hubby "went off" when we got home talking about Liberal Lou.

I stated to my hubby that my dad demanded the best out of his little girl to: "Be the best!" NOT "Oh did you get your feelings hurt..., B.S.?" That doesn't stand in my family....

I guess we never want to hurt "our" kids' feelings.

(Be well, be strong, be safe)

Hope this makes sense......... And I don't have kids, but if I did they would be strong and kick ass!

This ties in nicely with my son's experience with little league. This weekend his team lost in the playoffs. Thankfully we have a league where, even with the youngest teams (6-9), score is kept and a champion is crowned.

The night of the game he was pretty upset and told my wife that he didn't want to play baseball anymore, yadda, yadda, yadda. As my wife and I were discussing it the next morning, I said to her "can you imagine there are people who actually want to shield their kids from this? How do they ever learn to deal with disappointment?" Of course, my wife responded, "They don't".

BTW, my son had me out working on his pitching the very next day. (Isn't it amazing how resilient kids are?)

Kids love it, it's the "parents" that hold them back and make them more emotional than need be.

I played first base and short stop baseball for Girl Scouts (I loved it), my dad was the coach and he wouldn't put up with any cryn'.

It's the parents that are turning these kids into emotional brats!

"I was always picked last,..."

The genesis of most liberals.

"Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-sers!!!!!!"

I was always picked last, too. So I didn't get a dream career in professional sports. I found something that I'm good at and I did that, instead. Life goes on.

Doesn't make sense.

Makes perfect sense... The whole non-compete attitude of liberals is a joke and their kids will be in for a very unpleasant surprise when they have to compete in the real world. BTW I knew a somewhat well to do family where the dad sheltered the wife and daughters from the real world - Well he died at 50 of a massive heart attack and unknown to them he had no life insurance. Left on their own to cope the youngest two girls and the mother had major drinking problems the older two married well and never had to work. It really was sad. BTW they were democrats.

The decline of America started with the ascent of the single mom. This phenomenon is the liberal, forced feminization fountainhead. Why do you think the press went ballistic when Dan Quayle called out the Murphy Brown producers for glorifying bastardhood?
