I keep wondering if Madison might be more comfortable, oh, say, maybe in Canada or somewhere else less American...

Madison isn't worth defending.

The Dells however, are worth defending.

So, the question has to be asked. If Madison is invaded by Arab terrorists, is it worth taking up arms to defend them?

NO. I wouldn't want people to think I approved of everything the city of Madison does. (to paraphrase that idiot teenage girl)

Well, The Onion is based out of Madison; so at least save their offices :)

I would say not only let them occupy for a month or two but supply them with arms and advisors and a "hit list" including the names of the school board members.

The Madison elite insists on practicing their right of free speech...but don't believe it's worth defending.

they banned the pledge of allegiance and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner in their school system.

It's unbelievable how the schools do everything in their power to hurt the nations children.
Right now, the kids need these things for security, and the damn school is waving the white flag of surrender!!!
Parents should yank those kids out of there ASAP before any more damage is done to the poor souls.
May the schools reap what they sow someday!

H*ll, I'd consider wrapping a towel around my head and helping!

Seriously though, we moved away from there soon after the election, to a conservative area in the center of the state. Life is sooo much better away from that socialist cesspool.

Cut off federal aid to their schools and let them do as they please--and can afford!

I had to travel to Madison last week. I had heard stories...I supposed that they were embellished somewhat....

Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. The grand parade of academicly endorsed transvestites, gay/lesbian groups, transgendered lunatics, and just completely unproductive advocacy groups scurrying about like lemmings without the reward of cliffs was just too sureal for my daughter to stomach. She requested that we not spend the night as planned. She suggested we manuever our GMC diesel long bed through the mopeds, Geo's, and Yugo's, and put as much interstate between us and them as quickly as possible. I really am not looking forward to getting her into the UW system. Hillsdale College is sounding better and better every day.

Yes, but only because my parents live there. There's also a nice trout stream near by;-)

Cede it to the Northern Alliance as a vacation spot. I'm sure they would appreciate the attentions of an ethnic Uzbek or Tadjik. After all, all cultures are...

No, it's not worth defending, but then- no one will ever invade it since it is already enemy territory. But if I get any funny envelopes in the mail from someone named Achmed, I will happily forward them to Madison, Wisconsin.

Wonder if anthrax can be used to innoculate cheese?

And on the other side of the coin...

Neal Boortz said this today:

We take you now to Rocklin, Calif., where the American Civil Liberties Union has demonstrated just how far to the left the organization really is.

The target of its protest is Breen Elementary School. After Sept. 11, a marquee in front of the school was changed to read "God Bless America."

The ACLU doesn't like this message one bit. They were notified by a parent whose child attends the school and was "greatly troubled by the sign."

On Wednesday, the ACLU of Northern California sent a letter to Breen Elementary's administrators. Staff Counsel Margaret Crosby said the message "must be replaced immediately" and called it a "clear violation of the California and United States constitutions, as well as the California Education Code." She said the words "God Bless America" sent "a hurtful, divisive message." On Friday, she added that "by displaying a religious message, the Breen Elementary School is dividing its young students along religious lines. School officials are hurting and isolating their schoolchildren of minority faiths when they should be supporting them and the values of pluralism and tolerance."

Huh? This isn't a religious expression. The sign isn't saying "God Bless You." It's promoting a patriotic message. How in the hell does a patriotic expression isolate and divide students?

The administrators at Breen Elementary, bless their hearts, won't remove the words from the marquee. Breen Elementary's principal, Terry Thornton, told the Sacramento Bee, "We are planning on keeping up our message."

The ACLU of Northern California says it's "entirely unprecedented" for a school to refuse to take down such a message. In other words, they're not accustomed to resistance.

Let's hope the good folks at Breen Elementary can withstand the pressure from an organization that's becoming less and less credible with every passing day.

You go Neal!!

IF MADISON, WISCONSIN IS INVADED, IS IT WORTH DEFENDING?

It isn't worth it for any American to defend Madison, Wisconsin. Let them defend themselves. Perhaps they'll gather in a circle, light candles, and sing kumbaya while they're being attacked.

Can't we all just get along. Well, no. And in reference to the question on defending Madison, WI, the answer is no. Give the whole damned state to Canada. Along with Minnesota.
