Some of you here know our in/famous Mayor Paul Soglin. These days, he's the LONE voice of SANITY in, 'The People's Republik of Madistan.'

It almost makes ya feel sorry for the guy, LOL! (I said ALMOST!)

“Blacks had to fight for civil rights,” said Ulysses Williams. “This is the homeless’ turn to start fighting. You’ve got an opportunity to make homeless a protected class. That will help a lot of the problems, not all of them, but some of them.”

Homelessness is a CIVIL RIGHT in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan!’

Let the defecation on public and private property begin!

This town is nuts! NUTS, I say!

Pretty funny to think of the old hippie as being to the right of anything!

I was just about to start my freshman year at the UW in Madistan when they blew up the Army Math Research Center in 1970. Soglin was far left when he was elected Mayor back then. He is still far left but the city council considers him almost a right-winger now.

Yes it is nuts. Makes me glad that I live in my podunk town in podunk state, though none of us escape the rot in some way these days. My prayer is that my podunk town and state manage to fly under the radar at least in my lifetime. Or maybe I just don’t get out enough. OTOH, what am I saying, considering the election fiasco we had with Thad Cochran and GOP dirty tricks.

Madison keeps WI Democrat for president and will in 2016 too, I would imagine. Milwaukee doesn’t help any either.

Nonsense. Sick and tired of this being used to justify anything and everything.
Black folks were born Black. Nothing they did or did not do had any effect on that.
Being homeless is a tragedy that needs things done about it,but not one that is owed a civil right.

It’s one of their civil rights as an Aggrieved Population.

What’s truly hilarious is that a woman who is from a group of conquering thugs that committed genocide against entire indigenous populations and enslaved millions more from Africa could run around in our country portraying themselves as “victims”.

That means they lost the battle for Texas independence and the Mexican-American war. So now they’re victims, not simply a vanquished enemy.

So what’s next? Waffen SS as victims of American Aggression, and therefore deserving of Civil Rights posts in idiot college towns across America?

“I was just about to start my freshman year at the UW in Madistan when they blew up the Army Math Research Center in 1970.”

We had just moved to the area after escaping from Milwaukeestan. I was 10 years old, Sis was 6. Dad took us down there to see the damage and to make sure we knew that no matter WHAT our convictions later in life that THIS was not the answer to anything.

Bomber Karlton Armstrong - later WELCOMED BACK into the arms of Madistan! Set up a business and made a lot of money off of the dopes.

I’ll NEVER understand this town. Such a beautiful setting, filled with the most hard-core leftists you can imagine. Berkley East, for sure!

A cedilla is a tail-like diacritical mark added underneath a letter; e.g., ç. The wavy line over the ñ is a tilde.

“This is the homeless’ turn to start fighting”

Wasn’t there an infamous series of video tapes on this?

This is an important move on the part of DemonRATs as they are hell bent on making as many of us homeless as possible.

Cheese, Soglin’s still mayor?

He must be, like, ninety-five or something by now....

The one unique thing that used to be true of the USA was that one could move up and down social classes. That is no longer true..........................
