Wisconsin Right to Life is asking for your support in signing a petition against Madison Surgery Center’s desire to begin performing late-term abortions, and against subsidizing them with patients’ fees.

A Waukesha man has apparently been faking heart attacks to skirt restaurant bills and cab fares. We just might have a nominee for Charlie Sykes’ next round of Deep Tunnel Awards…

Yet another activity you need photo ID to do in Wisconsin, aside from voting.

Today, Charlie Sykes and Owen Robinson both blog about the Milwaukee Police Department’s just-released report on vote fraud in Milwaukee during the 2004 presidential election. The conclusion? Yes, Virginia, vote fraud is real. Now can we do something about it?
The Wisconsin Primary
I received and returned my absentee ballot this weekend. Since Wisconsin’s primary is open, and the GOP nomination is down the drain, I considered a strategic vote on the Democrats’ side. Ultimately, though, I couldn’t bring myself to cast a vote for Hillary Clinton, so I voted for Mitt Romney.

Pathetic
I’ve never thought too highly of Wisconsin blogger and frequent Boots & Sabers commenter Scott Feldstein, but now he’s hit a new low. On December 19 he wrote an irate post about how morally inferior those of us who support torture of terrorists in certain circumstances are. The (censored) highlights:
–
When the f*** did we start condoning state sanctioned torture? Raise your hand right now if you’re for torture. I’ll make a list of people whom I would not let walk my dog, let alone have any position of responsibility or judgement. A list of moral retards…Anyone who wants to trade their souls for some perceived security is a chickens*** motherf***er who should be kept far away from small children and sharp objects.
–
Of course, we know waterboarding has worked, and a lot of innocent American civilians could very well be dead today if Feldstein had his way. Oh, and this guy’s concern about human rights, compassion, and the US’s moral credibility is wholly selective—predictably, he supports killing innocent babies. Phony.

As pathetic as all this is, it isn’t what spurred me to write this post. In the comments section, we see the following exchange:
–
MIKE: being a fomer us marine if it saves only one of my brothers im all for it,fight fire with fire. it is clear to me none of you have ever been to a combat zone or have ever served this great nation! its called war for a reason.suck it up butter cups!
–
SCOTT: It’s clear to me, Mike, that you don’t really understand what makes our nation great in the first place.
–
MIKE: Your telling a us marine he doesnt understand what makes his nation great ! its people like me that went to somolia ,the gulf .i earned my f***ing stay, what the f*** have you done? just keep running your sewer we all need a breeze
–
SCOTT: I stand by what I said, Mike. One of the things that makes our nation great is the fact that we have respect for individual liberty and human rights. One of the chief manifestations of this value is the fact that we don’t torture people. I won’t give up my values for safety (real or perceived). How about you? Thanks for your service, by the way. As for what I’ve done, I earn the money that pays your salary.
–
Where does this twerp get off thinking he can tell an American serviceman he doesn’t understand his country’s greatness? The arrogance, the sense of innate superiority, is stunning. What a pathetic, disgusting hypocrite.

Gun-Rights Win in Wisconsin
A bit of good news for the evening: the Second Amendment makes a rare guest appearance in Wisconsin! It seems our concealed-carry ban has just been ruled unconstitutional. And just when the gun-free zones were working so well…
Gee, Thanks JB
A pack of intolerant secularists has managed to get innocent religious content purged from a memorial service organized by the Wisconsin Department of Justice:
–
A religious hymn called “This Too Shall Pass” and a closing prayer by a Lutheran pastor will not be included in the ceremony as initially planned, department spokesman Kevin St. John said Friday…After a review, St. John said the department agreed the content was on shaky constitutional footing. “Rather than create the unintentional appearance that the state was endorsing religion or a particular creed, the department amended the program to exclude those parts,” he said. “We certainly wouldn’t want to have an appearance of a potential church-state violation overshadow the event.”
–
Hey Kevin—if you did the right thing, it wouldn’t be the DoJ “overshadowing” anything; it’d be the group of atheist thugs and their obsession. But the worst part of the story? These thugs “praised Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen’s office for quickly addressing its protest.” Y’know, that’d be the JB Van Hollen who ran as a strong conservative who knows the law.
–
General Van Hollen, I supported you in the Republican primary. I worked for you in the general election. For what? For you to needlessly cave when faced with lawless attacks on America’s heritage? Well, if Paul Bucher wants to take another stab at the job, I’ll be watching….
