Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Democrat--Again
Well, here it is. The proverbial "slippery slope" of the smoking ban. An issue so pressing, that the legislature railroaded a public hearing within a hair's notice of the minimum required to the public--allowing them to participate. Never mind the mass exodus of job providers from our state....Nothing urgent there to address.Ahh, the Democrats.
Always inserting themselves into our lives with safety belt laws, booster seats for 80 pound kids, restrictions on buying Sudafed, etc...
Now for those of you non-smokers who are cheering a big Hooray this morning, remember this: They're Coming for You Next. (or should I say They're Coming to "Protect" You Next?)
Who are You, exactly? You're the Big Mac Eater, the Culver's Onion Ring Addict, the Chocolate Martini Lover. You're a Victim, aren't you? A Victim of your own choices, but a Victim nonetheless.
The Democrats want to protect you from Yourself. You know who You are. You're the guy eating Gardetto's on the couch watching Dancing With the Stars--telling your wife you're suprised at how you enjoy ballroom dance (yeah, like we don't already know it's the girls in their costumes!--Who cares? We have our own reasons for watching--Hello Max! Only DWTS watchers will get the reference.)
You are unable to control Yourself. Well, look out. The democrats are mad at You. See You, like the Evil Smokers, are driving up our country's healthcare costs. You with your junk food and alcohol--all legal products, just like cigarettes. You are costing Us more money in health insurance premiums. And to top it off You are living longer--too long--with your diseases like lung cancer and diabetes. The nerve of You.
How dare You choose to purchase and consume legal products--products that our Hypocritical Legislators (is that redundant?) are too cowardly to outlaw, due to the massive special interest money that might flow in against them--and the budget holes they'd need to fill without cigarette tax money!
Put down your Big Macs and get on your exercycle. You're gonna have to sooner or later.
See, when cigarettes aren't purchased anymore and the Hypocritical Legislators finally get their way we're gonna be in a budget deficit the size of the Grand Canyon. Cigarette tax is relied upon so heavily in our state's daily operations, they're gonna have to make it up somewhere.
And on Someone. That Someone is You.

Mayor Dickert
Congratulations, Racinians, on electing an articulate, intelligent man to lead the city forward.
I've known John Dickert for some time now--in fact we reminisced briefly last night about how we ran into each other at church festivals and every chicken barbecue held east of I-94 during our campaigns in 2002. (He was running against Bob Turner for Assembly, and I was running against Kim Plache for Senate.) He's a hard worker, loves his community, and can articulate a vision and plan that people understand.
Let's hope he governs conservatively regarding fiscal policy. The last thing the city residents need is a tax increase of ANY sort. I hope to see aggressive action when it comes to retaining job providers, and attracting new ones. I hope the council will support his ideas--as long as they're practical, affordable, and promising. We want him to succeed, if that means moving Racine forward and upward.
Here's to you, Mr. Mayor!
Mrs RDW just missed this yesterday
Patrick had this photo of a car crashing through St. Lukes yesterday.Mrs. RDW had an appointment at the clinic where this car drove into the building shortly after this happened. Thankfully no one was hurt, this could have been bad news. If she had been hurt... I just don't know.
Reportedly an elderly driver said their accelerator stuck.
Reportedly an elderly driver said their accelerator stuck.
The Wisconsin Nanny State while trying to regulate every facet of our lives is still refusing to do anything about testing elderly drivers. (they vote you know)
My 91 year old Grandmother barely drives anymore but where she lives in Illinois seniors of her age have to take a road test every year in order to keep their driving privileges. In Wisconsin you just have to pass an eye test and they give you a brand new license good for 8 years.

Breaking News, Another Sex Scandal Clouds Racine.
On the very day that Racine selects a Mayor to replace the pervert Gary Becker comes news of another sex scandal.Look for charges to be filed in the next day or so against a Racine Police Officer for inappropriate conduct with a 14 year old.
I have the name and have confirmed the data but I will wait until official charges are filed to release that information. I understand there could be up to four charges filed.
Charitable Outreach.
I just got this in the email and wanted to share it with you all. If you can help, please consider doing so.
She is now ready to come and get her much needed surgery. This will happen in the next few weeks. Here is where you come in. First, we sincerely ask for prayer for Loretta. She is coming by herself. She has never been to the U.S. so that by itself will be a shock. There are so many things to pray for, but the big request is that God be glorified through this whole process; that His name would be exalted for it is God who has allowed these things to happen. Secondly, we desire to offset the costs of the surgery. It is difficult to fully know right now what the costs will be. Our goal is to raise $4000 dollars which I know likely won’t completely cover all the costs. However, I just found out that the All Saints Foundation is going to match dollar for dollar any donation made to a fund we have set up in her name. God is good!
With that said, if you are willing to make a donation of any amount, then you can make a check out to WFH-All Saints Foundation. In the memo line or on a separate note, you can designate it for the Loretta Moody fund. Mail it to 3805-B Spring Street, Suite 220; Racine, WI 53405. The donation is 100% tax deductible. You will receive a receipt in the mail shortly after you make your donation. If you any questions about the foundation or the tax implications, you can contact Chris Krizek at 262-687-8656. You can reach me at 262-637-3496 or by email at pdurbin1@wi.rr.com.
Dear family and friends,
I am writing this letter to request your help in being a part of something very special. I took part in a mission trip with my son Jacob and my church [Grace] to Belize, Central America this past Christmas-New Year’s holiday. I worked with a wonderful missionary couple Bill and Kathy Craver who spend a large part of the year ministering to the Belizean people. They introduced me to a woman named Loretta Moody who is married and the mother of 14 children. She lives in the jungle of Belize, basically living off the land. She developed a growth in her thyroid gland about 5 years ago and since that time it has grown to an enormous size. It takes up her entire right neck and part of the left. She wears a bandanna during the day to cover it up so no one will see what lies beneath. She has lost weight and is in urgent need of having her entire thyroid gland removed. The health care system in Belize is not very good. In fact, a friend of hers had a similar problem and had surgery in Belize and died. So Loretta has been scared to have the surgery done in Belize. She does not have the financial resources to go elsewhere.
After seeing her, I prayed to God and lifted up Loretta in prayer and basically turned it over to Him to see if we could do the surgery at the hospital I work at in Racine, Wisconsin. I asked Dr. Richard Stoltenberg to see if he would be willing to do the surgery and he graciously agreed. He asked the anesthesiology department if they would do the anesthesia for her case and they agreed. I asked the hospital administration if they would be willing to have her get the surgery at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-All Saints and they agreed. Grace Church had agreed to pay for her airfare to get here. A mission team to Belize from Whitewater, Wisconsin paid for her visa application. She went to the U.S. Embassy in Belize and got her visa, which getting a visa is a very difficult thing to do.

New Media Round Table with Charlie Sykes, Patrick Macilhernan, Owen Robinson & Vicki McKenna
The final event of the State GOP Convention was a media round-table featuring Charlie Sykes, Patrick Macilhernan, Owen Robinson & Vicki McKenna.
I was hoping someone would ask the panel what would be the best radio choice in Milwaukee between 10 am and noon, but no one did.
The following notes were taken from each of the participants opening remarks.
Patrick MacIlhernan.
I'm from the very old dead tree media, deader every day. What newspapers bring to the talk of public policy is news, facts, etc, but not necessarily what actually happened. The Tea parties for example, what you read is probably not what you actually saw. They do get some things right, they try to cover public issues as news. The more you engage with and know that news the more that you are able to say in daily life. Then, when you engage in debate, talk to your neighbors, etc, your commentary will be much more informed.
Vicki McKenna
You are talking about trying to resurrect journalism from the clutches of the left....Reporters will be lazy if you let them be lazy. Take the Tea Parties again, CNN reported about a hundred in Madison when there were over 8,000. Don't believe everything they tell you.
They will keep dropping right wing trying to radicalize mainstream conservative thought. It's not right wing, it's America.
Owen.
I'm sitting between two professional speakers, this may be the only word I get in.
In the upcoming election cycle, its the economy folks, even if the economy does turn around, the gobs of debt that are kids are going to pay for, we can not lose sight of those issues. They are out there and they are important, these are the issues we need to focus on.
We're not used to protesting, but we did. We made signs and let our voices be heard. People are energized and ready to make a change.
Campaigning is different these days, you need to reach out in new ways now.
Conservative beliefs are the ones this country was founded on. The way we reach out is different, linked in, twitter, facebook, blogs, etc. You must get familiar with and use all of the new communication tools.
Charlie Sykes
Good news or bad news...
Bad news first. This last week when Arlen Specter decided to become a democrat, i decided maybe I should too. Then I could hang with a cooler more fashionable crowd.
I'd be on NPR, The Journal Sentinel would do focuses on me, I could stop paying taxes and hang with Cheryl Crowe.
In Wisconsin the left has a series has a bunch of leftist organizations and we're getting our butts kicked.
Good News.
Values do not have an expiration date, unlike the President's promises.
One thing we have to stop doing is talking to ourselves, we have to start talking to different groups.
For example, don't give up on young people. The issue of freedom is ever-fresh. Look at the nanny state. Do young men and women coming out of college really want government making their decisions for them? Use that.
There are issues, when people will tend to be conservative in crime and the courts.
You have to communicate on everything. you have to be on radio, tv, Internet. The old model of just putting out a press release is done, it is just so, last century. You need to do things in different formats.
Let's let the people hear what liberals say when they think no one is listening. The more we let liberals talk and say what they really mean the better it will be for us.
Charlie then referenced the ridiculous Democrat Phil Garthwaite and his Statement that if businesses don't like it in Wisconsin they can "Get your Ass Back down to the South".

Letter from the boss....
Cyber Dad sent me this...
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.
But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did.
I walked through our parking lot and found six 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.
I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change; I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic

Scott Walker
Scott Walker was just introduced and the crowd went nuts....
Excerpts
...It is an honor to stand here as an official candidate for Governor of the great state of Wisconsin...
...I'm concerned about our state's future, our deficit is a record high, after six years in office, Jim Doyle says he is not responsible for our State's issues, I disagree...
... While people across the state tighten their belts to make it through this recession, Governor Doyle proposed increasing state spending by nearly 10%.
Today our Governor advocates releasing nearly 3,000 dangerous criminals....
Governor raided billions from the transportation fund and now wants to expand the gas tax.
We have a Governor who does not share our values.
A governor who raises tuition at UW while giving breaks to people who are not here legally.
Not once, not twice, but three times voted against common sense voter reforms.
History does not have to repeat itself, with the right leadership we can turn around Wisconsin.
I know we can build a better Wisconsin.
I believe in Wisconsin X3...
I believe in a budget where we spend based on need, not want.
No more raiding segregating funds to pay for state programs.
Every life matters.
A state that honors the right to keep and bear arms.
I'll keep the budget without raising taxes again and again and again.
Please join me and together we can build a better Wisconsin, a Wisconsin we can believe in again.

Blog Talk Radio...
I just got invited to do a blog talk radio show centered here in LaCrosse.
First LaCrosse, tomorrow maybe Dr. Blogstein.

Michael Steele
Last night I had the privilege to meet Michale Steele, the National GOP Chairman. I sat in on a 1/2 hour press conference with the usual suspects.
The press was completely hung up on the Arlen Specter defection to the Democratic Party. The questions centered around their belief that there was no room in the Republican Party for moderates. There were at least three questions on this subject.
On the question of were moderates welcome in the GOP Steele's answer was "Absolutely!" Steele then pointed out that Arlen Specter changed from the Democratic party to the Republican party in 1966 when it benefited his career and he is doing exactly the same thing. He jumped this time because he knew he was not going to win his upcoming primary.
Steele stated, "I'm trying to reach out to Americans, not just moderates. What we're saying is, here it is, this is what we believe in, would you like to come in? Welcome."
A good question was asked regarding Republican changes in policy to the stimulus plans. He admitted a number were on board in the early stages, but said "We've cashed a huge check without any money in the bank" He added, "We have to stop this spending, stop the taxing and stop the borrowing."
On the coming race for Governor in Wisconsin Steele said, "We've come to play here and we're going to play hard."
Steele was very optimistic about GOP chances in 2010 pointing out that the GOP had out fund raised the Democrats is the first quarter.
It was very clear that Chairman Steele is very fond of Wisconsin GOP Chairman Reince Priebus. If Steele has higher aspirations some day, it is very clear that he will bring Reince Priebus along with him.
I took some pictures and a video, but forgot my transfer cable, I'll update when I get home.
The press was completely hung up on the Arlen Specter defection to the Democratic Party. The questions centered around their belief that there was no room in the Republican Party for moderates. There were at least three questions on this subject.
On the question of were moderates welcome in the GOP Steele's answer was "Absolutely!" Steele then pointed out that Arlen Specter changed from the Democratic party to the Republican party in 1966 when it benefited his career and he is doing exactly the same thing. He jumped this time because he knew he was not going to win his upcoming primary.
Steele stated, "I'm trying to reach out to Americans, not just moderates. What we're saying is, here it is, this is what we believe in, would you like to come in? Welcome."
A good question was asked regarding Republican changes in policy to the stimulus plans. He admitted a number were on board in the early stages, but said "We've cashed a huge check without any money in the bank" He added, "We have to stop this spending, stop the taxing and stop the borrowing."
On the coming race for Governor in Wisconsin Steele said, "We've come to play here and we're going to play hard."
Steele was very optimistic about GOP chances in 2010 pointing out that the GOP had out fund raised the Democrats is the first quarter.

On Equality.
America is supposed to be this place where, regardless of race, creed or color you have the same chance to get the job as the next guy.
Yeah…….the next guy.
Question:
Is a man even being considered for the position Justice Souter is vacating?
I don’t really care if it’s a man or woman that replaces him (it’ll be a gigantic leftie anyway), but a man for t he job isn’t even being considered.
Is this the moral high ground BO(the idiot, not the dog) is talking about?
Or is it just more of the new PC, where the only real bad guys in this world are Christian white men – and therefore should all be shunned without hesitation?

Letter to the editor by George Meyer.
Steve Lovejoy at The Journal Times is up to his usual games of playing change the letter so I'll consider publishing it. The following letter was sent to Mr Lovejoy by Mr. George Meyers, Lovejoy is apparently trying to delay this until after the Mayoral election this Tuesday, I'll be happy to publish it.
John Dickert's response to Larry Tracy's letter is typical of Big Government people. What he is saying basically is, "Trust me. I know exactly which buildings to inspect and which to leave alone. Don't worry about Equal Protection under the law. I will make the right decisions without such an inconvenience. Trust me."
Bob Turner does not take the Authoritarian mentality to the Mayor's office that Dickert has. But
Bob has demonstrated his ability to tax, tax, tax and spend, spend and spend during his decades in the State Assembly. Bob is not a stranger to selling out to special interests like the unions.
Either of these two will keep the Good Ol' Boy system intact at City Hall.
Only Jody Harding will end the endless invasion of city government into our lives, our businesses and our pocketbooks.
Jody is an independent that will bring a refreshing viewpoint to city hall: that individuals can make good choices without the iron fist of government pounding the mob mentality of the mayor an common council into the equation.
If you want jobs back, taxes and regulations lowered, a chance for real economic prosperity here in Racine, you will have to write in Jody Harding for Mayor this Tuesday.

I think I can I think I can I think I can
So let me get this straight, Racine and Kenosha get their choo choo without paying an extra sales tax (for now anyway) and Milwaukee gets stuck with the vast majority of the cost....
Milwaukee has been sticking it to the suburbs for years, I guess this is the payback.
The plan is still horrible, if anyone took the time to understand that the KRM railapalooza plan is set to run at a 90% loss they might not favor it.
Oh well, all aboard...

Illegal Immigrant Advocates Missing in Action
So, it's the Swine Flu that has kept people from marching in favor of more rights for illegal aliens? (Note caption says 20-30 people on the bus...I count 11.) Hmm, not buyin' it. The Journal Times' story quotes Maria Morales saying she originally had 5-6 buses of 50-60 high school kids scheduled to go--(how unclear is that? Does that mean 250-360 students in all??). Hardly anyone decided to show up on the Racine buses and head down to Milwaukee. So was it really a Swine Flu scare?
Or, could it be the notorious Voces de la Frontera group is losing their charm?
Amazing to me why this group still gets any credibility given the issues they "march" for: illegal aliens receiving drivers' licenses, and taxpayer subsidized college tuition for illegal aliens--with no strings attached. Not to mention the tactics they use when they go about "advocating" (read: "intimidating") to get their way.
At a time when families nationwide are struggling with their daily bills--let alone panicking over how to afford their own children's college educations--this group wants to keep invading our country and our pocketbooks.
They claim the rallies are "advocating for humane immigration policies." Of couse, this infers our current policies are "inhumane" and that people who disagree with their positions are "inhumane" for feeling that way.
All Americans are for "humane" immigration policies! This is not what these rallies are about. Exactly what is inhumane about asking people to follow the rules this nation has established to gain entrance legally? Thousands of immigrants do it EVERY DAY.
Americans are tired of being accused of racism and inhumanity. We are the most humane nation in the WORLD. We welcome people of all races and creeds--unlike most other countries. We feed, clothe, provide shelter, medical care, and a free K-12 education for illegal immigrants! And that's INHUMANE?
No, I don't feel guilty asking people to follow the rules we've put in place.
Who should feel guilty? The fraudulent grandstanding politicians who swore to uphold the constitution of this state and the United States of America when they were sworn into office. By expressing their support of the violations of our nation's and state's laws, they are inciting anarchy and giving credibility to these rebellious groups.
