No Shortage of Hypocrisy

Besides the hypocrisy factor,  note it's a man who's demanding time with his family as a condition of taking the job of House Speaker—which would make him 2nd in line to become President of the U.S.   Imagine, if you can, a woman making that same demand--even that request!  OMG.   Yep it's hard to imagine because it's something that is beyond unlikely to ever happen.  Ever.  A woman could not get past such a statement/demand and be allowed to serve in any high-level position, much less the one Mr. Ryan just might be occupying soon.

The disparity in expectations is something all too familiar; it's not news.  Just something to note.  And remember.  

Good Point

 

Would be helpful to candidate Bernie Sanders if people understood the difference.

Boo!

The Flood We Won't Forget

Columbia, South Carolina - October 6, 2015

 

We've got a mess here in the Palmetto State.  They're saying a flood like this comes only once in a thousand years.  And that's too soon.  I will have more to say about it, including positive notes about rescue workers, law enforcement, FEMA, volunteers, and more.

 

Now it's after 2 a.m. and I need sleep.  But before I turn off the light again—thankful for having electricity— I need to get something off my chest, calm down enough to turn off the anger noises in my head.  

 

Remember Hurricane Sandy,  the devastation in New Jersey?  Of course you do.  Do you remember how members of South Carolina's Congressional Delegation voted on funding disaster relief for victims there?  

 

 

Fortunately, these Republican men do NOT reflect the generous spirit of most South Carolinians.  These men flap their jaws about "values" but were unwilling to follow the most basic of core values, the Golden Rule.  

 

It's a good thing our Federal Government doesn't forget its mission is to serve all citizens fairly.  Federal employees wasted no time showing up for South Carolina. Thank you, Mr. President,  FEMA, members of the military.   We're damn lucky you don't believe in Karma.
