Now is the time!
I had a great weekend getting out and about meeting with the fine folks of the 49th Assembly district. Benton had a great fish boil, the Grant County Cattlemen had a steak feed, and Monfort put on a great parade on Sunday. Hats off to those people and the jobs they did. I really enjoy getting out and talking to people about the things that matter.
And then Monday comes. And President Bush is stoking up the gay marriage rhetoric. As you no doubt know, Wisconsin has a proposed constitutional ammendment banning gay marriage on the ballot for November. And somebody asked me yesterday; "is that what we should be worrying about right now?" Got me to thinking.
And I decided, "yep. That's what we need to focus on!"
With Iraq stable, Bin Laden behind bars, our borders secure, FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security totally prepared for hurricane season, no rogue nations trying to get nukes, stable gas prices, health care for all, our budget balanced, the deficit reduced, and our dependence on foreign oil eliminated, gays getting married is just what I want the President focused on!
Furthermore, with the people of Wisconsin being fully covered by health insurance, their personal income far outpacing the rate of inflation, their schools fully financed with no need for any referendums, teenagers with money to pay for college, farms for every young and beginning farmer, the methamphetamine problem cleaned up, more high paying jobs than you can shake a stick at, renewable fuels available at every pump, and no politicians in prison, I'm glad my state representative found the time to fight the good fight in the war against marriage.
Okay, all sarcasm aside. Don't you think this country has far bigger problems in need of attention? And instead of working on the things that matter, the President decides now is the time to start kissing the butt of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and James Dobson.
