And you have to make a connection between your values and upbringing to the values of your intended audience. Ernst did that. I hereby proclaim her president of flyover country. We don’t need the rest of bho’s 57 states. All we need is the right to cross your airspace and unfettered access to the Gulf of Mexico. 😉

A Bill Whittle real-time response to the SOTU, on live television — now that’s something I’d pay cash to see.

It’s not coincidental –it’s symbolic, it’s always symbolic when you’re addressing a primetime global audience.

Joni Ernst’s response … this is the LEADERSHIP of the opposition party? She stood there frozen in fright with a canned, disjointed reply that didn’t even respond to the SOU. Bombed it!

I found her intriguing & especially enjoyed the auto
biographical part !
perhaps a *Male/Female thing?*

I watched it today and stopped about 3 minutes into it. Not impressed at all, and the thing that turned me off immediately was her comments about herself. I hope that really wasn’t her, but the heavy hand of RNC editing, but I’m unfortunately skeptical of her now.

supposed yo supply the perk.

BTW I guess Obama would fit the bill as a coward,
yellow bellied murderer since he
unabashedly dispatched victims via droning

The occasional abuses under parens patriae are undeniable. It’s also undeniable that there are unfit and abusive parents, so the need for some societal mechanism for protection of at risk children is needed. The problem is in itself only partially parens patriae, which needs serious revision but more directly it’s abusive, politically correct and “busy body” social workers and governments.

That said, if there were no advantage to be gained from “universal child care”, neither Obama or others on the left would be pushing so hard for it. That advantage is obvious if you stop and think for a moment. The State cannot implement parens patriae for even a substantial minority of children, much less the majority. So parens patriae is a strictly limited tactic for the left. Thus their need for “universal child care” and Common Core ‘standards’.

‘Get to them early and they’re ours for life’ is their mantra.

Your personal animus (undoubtedly justified) toward radical feminists makes you too close to the problem to think objectively on this issue, evidenced by your rants, otherwise you’d have seen the advantages for the left in “universal child care”.

First of all, it is “Thou shalt not MURDER” not “kill”.

If you insist on “kill” then ALL soldiers and supportive military personnel are/were murderers. Did you ever serve?

Secondly, if you insist upon questionable IQ testing, then by your logic either only Jews and those matching the general Jewish level should have the right to vote.

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” Winston Churchill

Thirdly, intelligence and wisdom are entirely different. I’ve met wise blacks and MANY intelligent white fools. Intelligence without wisdom and common sense is, invariably disastrous.
