Might be funny but sad also

After thinking about the comic strip I also thought it is sad that politics has become more of a business then a civic under taking.Mr. Webster is using any tactic to gain an edge even if it means compromising right and fairness.

Check the Portland Press Herald doonesbury comic strip for a laugh. You can do it on line.

School chose

The governor is at it again. The Republican agenda is the end public education then they can have private schools to promote the conservative ideology. There are to kinds of conservatives one is for money, power and control they are the dangerous group. The second group are just plain dumb. The have beliefs about religion, women's rights, welfare and such which is their right but they can't seem to grasp the fact they can't pick and choose which people it will effect. Two examples I have encountered recently one a lady that said we need to end welfare to these people having children they can't afford. I asked what about her granddaughter who was receiving aid and the answer was she is different she's a good girl. The second was a man who said no Obama care. His son had an accident with no insurance. When I questioned him on that again it was different because the son did not expect to have an accident. It is time for the left to prepare for a battle and not set by and lose our freedom a piece at a time.
