Scott Walker Quietly Repeals Wisconsin Equal Pay Law

You know what's really rude are the liberals on this board. You can never disagree with the liberal agenda without being uneducated, get personally attacked, or labeled a racist. What a ****ing laugh coming from the ones that live off of the welfare system because they don't want to work, it's too hard and oh and who could forget, share the (your) wealth.

Yeah, yeah, save it for someone who cares.
 
So... to sum up.

Conservatives are all ruled by religion, racist, uneducated, greedy, and lacking compassion.

Liberals are lazy, sponging off hardworking people by living on welfare, amoral socialists who are going to Hell.

Did I miss something?

:mob"
 
Wait! For real...are democrats extinct? Is it just liberals and conservatives nowadays?

That dang old liberal arts degree must be the issue because I just am confused.

It may be, but DON'T feel bad about only having that, you seem to be doing ok, for only a liberal arts degree (many people NEVER EVEN get that, hell some only get GED's (though have not met someone yet)!!!!) :pout:. Heck, you had to "deal", from your postings making a number of huge mistakes (unwed etc) you are making the best of things you can.

We just need a change in administration so people will be helped not to fall into the same pitfalls you did. It's all about the parents/homelife Open your mind to other ideas so your kids will not have to have the same situation. :flowers:
I know you are home schooling (and given the state of many public schools these days that's great) just be honest with your kids about your mistakes when they ask. Hopefully they will do the right thing and wait until after college/or better marriage for sex or at least not have one night stands without at least condoms.

ITS ALL ABOUT PARENTING! Even in my extended family (including cousins) there has never been a kid < 11 months after marriage, nope. It's all about upbringing!

Democrats = Liberals = EVIL.

Don't forget Chris, there was a part two for that memo
Republicans = Conservatives = Uneducated

And I disagree with NannyMcCheapy - while there are a select few liberals on this board who are rude, painting them all as rude is unfair. Chris is an example of that. While we disagree on just about every political issue, I think for the most part we've kept it civil. :flowers:And I can say that about many other liberal leaning members of CW.

I did not mean to imply that ALL liberals are such, but there are several on CW that can't seem to keep it civil. They have to start mud slinging and get really rude with personal attacks instead of keeping to the issues.

Yes, but only because he can get paid fairly for his efforts. Being a little ole' female and all it's best to leave that kind of thing to the men folk.

Oh yes, I see now, the "conservative" "Republicans" are much more respectful than the "liberals" around here. Ya'll would NEVER stoop to mudslinging and personal attacks....pfft.

Silly me..... and here all these years since I "retired" to stay home and raise my children, I HAVE been thinking about finances and feeding my family and the cost of education and their future.

Hilary Rosen, a partner at SKDKnickerbocker, the PR firm of former Obama communications director Anita Dunn, charged that Ann Romney "hasn't worked a day in her life" and suggested that Ann Romney can't possibly understand economic issues because she's a lowly homemaker.

What you have is Mitt Romney running around the country saying, “Well, my wife tells me what women really care about are economic issues.†And, “When I listen to my wife, that’s what I’m hearing.†Guess what? His wife has never actually worked a day in her life. She’s never really dealt with the economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing—in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and how do—why we worry about their future.

In the same breath Rosen ironically says:
... there’s something much more fundamental about Mitt Romney—he just seems so old-fashioned when it comes to women, and I think that comes across, and I think that’s going to hurt him over the long term. He just doesn’t really see us as equal.

Yes, there is something old-fashioned about the belief that a homemaker couldn't understand the complexity of the economics affecting her household. Rosen apparently subscribes to the Linda Hirschman worldview, one that posits women are only as valuable as their contributions outside the home, unrelated to children and family. Rearing up the next generation that will someday run the world is woefully under appreciated.

From an overflow of the heart the mouth speaks and Rosen makes it clear that her prejudice against women who stay home stems from a lack of respect and appreciation for what those women do. If the goal of feminism is choice, Rosen betrays the mutual respect amongst members of the female sex by degrading the choices of other women.

Considering Ann Romney is a breast cancer survivor who reared five children and played the backbone to her successful husband, I'm not sure this is a battle Democrats want to pick -- especially with an opponent like Ann Romney, a breast cancer survivor living with MS who raised five children.http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/04/11/Hilary-Rosen-Romney

BUT THIS ONE... really is just perfect for me! :lol:

and yes, IC..... i've been in PLENTY of these "discussions" around here... for years now... in general, for the most part, just like on many news shows, like conservative political women who aren't defended by women's organizations or the administration, I would say conservatives have generally been more respectful here.
 
I can't discount or argue with anyone's perceptions about what political leaning here has been more "civil" over the years but...

I also stay home and raise my children, probably for the same reasons. That does not mean I don't want women to have every possible avenue available to them to earn an equal wage. That does not mean I agree that jobs "belong to men because they need them more to support their families" which is a common conservative perception.

Husbands die. They leave their families. They lose their jobs, and they might not find as well-paying a job to replace it, or a job with benefits to replace it. Living in a world where women are expected to be "taken care of" and expect to be taken care of (both of which have their idealistic place) does not excuse lawmakers marginalizing women in the workplace, nor making it harder for them to pay their own way and support their families just as well as men do. There are glass ceilings everywhere, we don't need to be reinstating them in a recession.

And I certainly cannot get with someone raising small children and feeling free to go around using the word "retard" as a slur, though I suspect that lack of tolerance has little to do with her political leanings.
 
The comment about Ann Romney not working a day in her life was incredibly poorly chosen. I am sure Ann Romney works very hard and she seems to be a nice lady. Raising kids, whether ill or not is hard work, but lets be honest that she doesn't have the same economic worries as a woman working a full time job and raising kids.

She is welcome to have opinions about these things, but she has no ground to say that she understands the issues women face in the workplace. She has no experience in the workplace. She has never had to make the choice of whether to report her boss for putting his hand on her leg and making suggestive comments. To decide against reporting him because she needs to keep her job and her health insurance. That she has to either try to avoid the situation or find another job. To wake up every morning and cry because she doesn't want to go to work, but not going to work means you can't make the mortgage.

To know that there are men in your office that do less work than you do, work 8 hours and leave while you work 9-10 just to keep up and they make $20,000 more than you do because while you have the experience and work ethic, you don't have that piece of paper. Even the men in the office that don't have that piece of paper make significantly more money than you do. And before chicagobob calls me a slacker parent, my DH stays home with the kids, so it is rare that I miss work. I don't take sick days and I sometimes work weekends.

I am sure Ann Romney means well, but she has no experience with the issues women face in the workplace. I also think that she should be off limits like I believe all family should be.
 
Just want to add that Ann Romney, who has always been much more human & likeable than Mitt, has never faced the economic realities of 99 percent of the population.

She has never worried about them making the mortgage payment, tuition payments or just putting food on the table.

And while Mitt himself has admitted to being a penny pincher, he has also stated that he has always given Ann free reign with their money, never questioned her purchasing decisions or choices.

My husband does the same...but not much I can do with our thousandaire lifestyle over here :)

I think THIS is a perfect example and time for me to beat my dead horse and say that there is no requirement to live, breath and die by a political party. So many CONSERVATIVES, are so quick to label people who do not agree with them as Liberals (and not in a nice way at all) and then to start screaming liberal agenda this and that. When you live in a land of extremes you are missing a lot of things and quite often you are hypocritical on outlandish levels, and Cookie, my issue with the women on this board screaming conservative mantra are so outrageously hypocritcal (as you already know I am not speaking of you :) )
