  Please know that you are free to move to another country somewhere where there are no Republicans or Tea Party members. I hear Botswana is nice this time of year.

• Democratic Rep. Claims Victimizing Women is ‘as American as Apple Pie’

  In reply to TIME_2_END_THE_GOP_IN_12.

  I would like to point out that the Rap music culture celebrates the demeaning of women along with the gang culture, which is totally acceptable to a large portion of the American population – and not just the GOP.

  Yesterday, the car behind us at a stop light had the stereo speakers on full blast and the filth that came out of them was something similar to when a nearby sewer line ruptured.

  You mentioned Allen West, Bachmann, Marco Rubio, Mike Rogers, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan.

  Well, how about Schoolly D, Ice T, MC Hammer, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and N.W.A , just to drop a few names? They are all well known early pioneers. I could go on, the list is long. I don’t see one Republican or conservative name on my list. If that’s what the culture celebrates and approves by buying music and going to concerts, actions have consequences. So don’t lay this problem at the door of the conservatives. Place the blame where it belongs. On those who promote it.

• Van Jones Slams the Tea Party Again: ‘The So-Called Patriots…Smashing Down Every American Institution’

  Oh, yeah. I remember how the Tea Party totally trashed Wisconsin’s Capitol building and the surrounding area. Yep. And they were all over San Francisco, L.A. Seattle, Philadelphia and let’s not forget Chicago. After the Tea Partiers left, there was a mountain of trash and destruction every where.

  Oh, wait!!!! My bad. How silly of me to confuse the Tea Party with OWSers!!!!

• ‘Real News From The Blaze:’ Wisconsin Liberals Start Pointing Fingers as Walker Recall Looks Unlikely

  In reply to teacherskj.

  I live in a Democratic state and we’ve had voter ID for a long time. However, getting someone off the voter rolls is really hard. When my mother died in 2008, we discover my father, who had died in 2002 was still on the voter lists. I took a copy of the death certificates to the Registrar of Voters and the woman who greeted me at the counter was someone that was at both my mother‘s and my father’s funeral! Unbelievable!!!!!

  Even so, I had to go to the Tax Assessor’s to have one of the clerks, who I’d gotten to know during the probate process, verify that I was in fact one of the heirs of the estate since I don’t usually carry copies of the will in my pocket. It was only then, with a copy of the Tax bill for the property with my name on it, my driver’s license (which she questioned since I live in a different town), both death certificates and the Tax Assessor‘s clerk standing next to me did they take my parents’ names off the list. I would think that once they saw the death certificates that would be it. I happen to live locally, but wondered what would happen for someone whose family was out of state. I guess those people remain on the rolls forever.

  If I was a Wisconsin teacher who was in danger of losing my job because of the unions and then had Governor Walker not only deal with the issue, but keep the taxes at the same level, my choice in the voting booth would be a no-brainer. If I was a state employee who had to work on cleaning up that massive mess in the State Capitol after the protestors left, my choice in the voting booth wouldn’t be that difficult. If I was an elderly Wisconsin resident living on either a fixed income or retirement and wondering how I was going to pay more in taxes and still buy food, it would be an extremely easy choice in the voting booth.

  These are things worth thinking about. However, it is also important to remember there are other people on that recall ballot. Hopefully, the “good” ones will coast on Walker’s coat tails and the “bad” ones will fall by the wayside.

• Missing Decimal Wrongly Puts ‘Ritual Mutilation’ on a Man‘s Record and He Can’t Clear His Name

  In reply to 95bravo10.

  I got stuck the same way, too. I was in England for two weeks and while I was there, I had my car at the local garage for a reoccuring problem with the engine misfiring. When I got home there was a nice letter from the State DMV telling me I’d neglected to pay a speeding ticket in the state capital. Unfortunately, it was during the time I was away, and my car was on a mechanics lift with no engine. Turns out the officer’s handwriting was so poor a “8” looked like a “6”.

  When I pointed out to the DMV clerk that that was NO way my vehicle could have been involved, he just told me to pay the ticket. It wasn’t until I pointed out that my car was a Plymouth and the vehicle involved was a Chevy that they started to listen.

  Ahhh, State employees. Gotta love ‘em.

• ‘The View’ Ladies Side With S.E. Cupp Over Hustler Photo During Studio Interview

  In reply to RANGER1965.

  For me, the most interesting point about the Twitter exchange with Roseanne Barr is that MS. Magazine sent out the first Tweet. We’re not talking Drudge, the Blaze, Free Republic or Breitbart – we’re talking MS. Magazine, the flagship of the feminist movement. And I’m surprised to say that I actually applaud them for not being hypocrites on this issue.

  As for Roseann Barr, the statement “Beauty fades, but dumb is forever” sums it up. Her lack of class is clearly showing, but then again, did we ever doubt it?

  BTW, wasn’t she supposed to be running for President or Congress with Cindy Sheehan or something?

  In reply to Geddon.

  Well, aside from the fact that he’s managed to insure I will never watch his show if I can help it, he also made it clear he needs some intervention and some serious psychiatric help —– NOW.

  Focusing that much hatred and revenge towards someone is really sick and could end up with his having cancer or some other disease.
