I may be an ignormas but, hey, I get elected!

“Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), the first openly gay member of the U.S. Senate, may have landed herself in some trouble after it was reported her office did little to address the rather high rate of opiate prescriptions coming out of the Veterans Affairs center in Tomah, Wisconsin. “
“To make matters worse, three deaths are linked to the overmedication problem highlighted in the report on the facility. A congressional hearing is scheduled on the matter (via AP): “
“U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who said last month she accepts responsibility for not acting sooner, is now being advised by a Democratic political lawyer, and the Republican Party of Wisconsin has filed an ethics complaint against her related to how her office handled the matter “

>>A bimbo lesbian.
>>Therefore, a democrat.

Yes, but this goes beyond fascist political party worship.

Whether She/It is aware or not, Her/Its worldview is rooted in the Uber doctrines of Transhumanism and Postgenderism.

Remember where this Tammy Baldwin is from. She was quite supportive of the attempted recall of Scott Walker, and agreed with the walkout of the state Democrat legislative members when it came up for time to take a vote. We all know how that slap-down match ended, and with Scott Walker on top.

Tammy Baldwin rode into the Senate on the Current Occupant’s coattails, when the state went for him AGAIN in 2012, but not because of any particular popularity of her own.

No doubt the Democrats consider this Baldwin - whatever - to be future Presidential timber. They are attracted to the peculiar types like a moth to a flame.

Baldwin responded that the First Amendment gave Americans no right to exercise religion outside the sanctuary of their church, synagogue, or mosque.

Wrong, bitch.

Text of the 1st Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

NOWHERE does it speak to "within the confines of a place of worship." Baldwin should be called out aggressively on this one.

Someone whose intellect I respect is Mark Steyn. He’s just done a piece comparing what’s going on here with events in Germany in 1933 — only THIS TIME it won’t JUST BE THE JEWS!
I’ve been trying to hammer this one home for over a year!

Sounds like you have the same problems Lake County, IN, has where dead people vote multiple times. Here in Cincinnati, one poll worker bragged she voted for Obama six times in the last election. She’s in jail, as she should be. If the voting process comes into greater doubt than it already is, this Republic is doomed.

So the Constitution allows you to say you're a Christian, but it doesn't allow you to be a Christian.

Got it.

Along the same argument, Freedom of Speech applies only to the Left.

She didn't come up with this on her own. The Democrat leadership has had lawyers and various academics working on these theories for years. They've settled on a plan and they're sharing it with the party faithful:

Freedom of worship, not freedom of conscience.

I am so glad our (emotion-driven, monthly mentally affected, lost purpose) women got the vote! They have helped America so very much. (Sorry, ladies, I call it as I see it.)

And Baldwin is our neighbor across state line and a a few miles up the road in the People's Republic of Madison, Wisconsin. This is the home of the main campus of the People's University of Wisconsin, a festering leprous wound on an otherwise lovely part of the Heartland of the Midwest. Baldwin is reflective of UW Madison and its, ummm, "values" and, ummm, "lifestyle."

Governor Scott Walker has done many good things for Wisconsin, He fought and won a war with public sector unions and subjected those unions to the bracing and refreshing challenge of "right to work" status. The unions subjected Walker, his Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefish and a State Supreme Court Justice (an attempt to seize that court to thwart Walker's every move) and numerous state senators (trying to seize control of the state senate ditto) to recall elections. Walker, Kleefish and the State Supreme Court Justice and enough State Senators won to vindicate Walker's ability to govern. The leftists and the unions, sputtering in outrage that Walker was doing all this in THEIR Wisconsin, seized the State Capitol building and thoroughly trashed the legislative chambers before being expelled.

Then he did the same to private sector unions. Wisconsin is the newest Right to Work state for just about everyone. I think he left police unions and fire unions in their old status. He also enacted concealed carry legislation, serious right-to-life legislation, mandatory photo ID to vote legislation and lots of other good and necessary things.

Before he (hopefully) leaves Wisconsin for the White House to take the Walker revolution national, he has one more major priority to deal with that festering sore at the University of Wisconsin: breaking the tenure system to allow the firing of the worst academic offenders and to teach some respect to the rest of the pampered perfumed princes and princesses of state academia with their multi-$100,000 salaries for "teaching" at most ten or so hours per week. They also glom even more money from "consulting fees" from gullible corporate liberals. When Walker interrupts their lifestyles and threatens the end of their lifetime expectations of taxpayer-funded splendor, he will also end their ability to lavishly fund the campaigns for public office of such members of the weirdo-American community as Butch Baldwin.

For POTUS, my heart is with Ted Cruz but my head tells me that Walker would be the best POTUS based on observing at close hand what Scott Walker has done for Wisconsin. Ergo, a ticket of Walker/Cruz would best serve the USA. Kleefish is ready to be governor of Wisconsin and Texas is capable of electing a worthy successor to Ted Cruz, perhaps the incumbent Attorney General. AS VPOTUS, Cruz would be a strong and eloquent and capable ally of Walker and his point man on each and every worthwhile reform effort.

Nationally, such a ticket's election would break the left as they have been broken in Wisconsin of all places. New York and Taxachusetts and Vermont and Rhode Island and Connecticut and New Jersey and Maryland and California will try to lead a new secession movement. Butch Baldwin will suicide.

We can do this!

Methinks the politicians should be required to take a course and a test on the Constitution and ethics before being allowed to even run for office.

As a Catholic, let me point out that the jailbird poll worker from Cincinnati is a “social justice” excuse for a nun. If we cannot burn her at the stake, jail is where she belongs and is the next best thing.

What part of: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” does Sen. Baldwin (D-WI) not understand. That applies to SCOTUS and the bureaucracy as well. Any such actions by them are illegitimate.
