"I think I know a lot of men who deserve to be beaten,"

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Trudy Schuetta href=”http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-12866-Domestic-Violence-Examiner~y2009m9d24-Praxis-International-encourages-domestic-violence-when-properly-applied” reports at Examiner.com on/a Praxis International, an organization that she says “encourages domestic violence, when properly applied.” Trudy says:br /br /blockquoteI wouldn’t have known anything about this org but for an e-mail I got from Marc Angelucci, of NCFM. The e-mail was about the outrage felt by participants at the recent Washington State Domestic Violence Coalition (WSDVC) annual conference, where Amanda McCormick, an employee of Praxis said with a grin, “I think I know a lot of men who deserve to be beaten,” during her keynote address./blockquotebr /br /Naturally, when asked for clarification about this comment, Janice Wick, Associate Director of Praxis, said: br /br /blockquote”Amanda McCormick is an employee of Praxis International but was not representing Praxis at the Washington conference. As I was not present, I can not speak to your concerns. I would not want to make a judgment based on a sentence that may or may not have been taken out of context. I will forward your email to Amanda and she will respond to you directly.”/blockquotebr /br /Notice how there is always an excuse when PC comments are made in most organizations, one that would not be tolerated had the sexes been reversed. I am glad to see that people who were attending were outraged and that Ms. Schuett is on the case.

"…they’re more focused on their own worries, such as getting a job or paying off mountains of student loans."

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I just read a href=”http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_youth_hangover”this story /alinked from Drudge about the “quiet” youth who are no longer so interested in politics. It seems those between 18-29 are too busy looking for a job and trying to pay back student loans to get too invested in politics:br /br /blockquoteLetdown is inevitable to a point, says James Emmett, an unemployed recent college graduate. br /br /”Of course I’m not as hopeful because everyone’s been exhausted, absorbed by the economic realities, from man on the street to Congressman,” says the 23-year-old artist who’s living with his parents on Long Island, N.Y., while he looks for work. But, he adds, the president needs to “trust that we’re still with him, build upon his community of support.” /blockquotebr /br /Apparently, none of these college grads is able to put two and two together and realize that they voted for a guy who is ruining our economy, and hence, is making it more difficult for them to get a job and pay off those student loans. I should feel sorry for these younger Obama voters but I don’t. All I have to say is “serves ya right, suckers!”
