Cuz you just aren’t contributing enough to the Leviathan …
During a speech in Rhode Island today, President Obama called for more taxpayer-spending on pre-school in order to “make sure that women are full and equal participants in our economy” and said the following:
Sometimes, someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids, which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as a result. And that’s not a choice we want Americans to make.
The conceit of the Left, and make no mistake that Obama has always been a child of the Left, is clearly evident in this brief statement.
Akin to Hillary’s statement that Free Speech belongs only to those with the correct viewpoint, Obama seems quite confident that his defining what the ambition, and measure, of one’s life is, is now a given.
Oh, the Left wants to “help” of course. Just hand over your child at six-weeks old to The State’s approved daycare programs and get-back-to-work, peasant.
The Left has taken over the Mommy Wars and it’s the children who lose.
Dear Mr. President: your opinion has been duly noted and will be treated with every atom of the respect it deserves. Now shut your piehole and go away.

Stay at home moms: right up there with “hoarders” and “wreckers.” And BTW, nowhere is the punishment for the choice to rear children greater than in academe. It is not only a betrayal of one’s Leftist duty to support the State, but also the most supreme betrayal of Feminist Ideology.
Greetings:
With acknowledgment of “McGehee’s” creativity:
It take a Leviathan to raze a child.
They cannot indoctrinate the children properly if they don’t have control of the children for most of their waking moments.
Barry’s a city-boy and he can’t help it: he’s just catcalling his bitches.
Oh, and in addition to catcalling, offering the easily distracted a fascination-squirrel to keep their eyes off the prize (h/t to ol’ neighbor Juan): wouldn’t want the rubes to take alarm upon catching a glimpse of their fate.
Because staying at home to raise your kids ought to be a privilege reserved for the upper middle class?
Michael Ledeen: Obama’s Inner Nixon
no kids, and I stay at home. eff you very much Mr. President.
No, their illegal-alien nannies.
Just because HIS didn’t..
It would be cool if Michelle would get her bitch ass to Chicago and give me a manicure I think
nannies are for left-coasters (both of ’em) or lower upper class Midwesterners. In fly-over country, being able to afford the wife staying home with the kids is a form of upper middle class conspicuous consumption.
I doubt either Bammy will ever willingly return to Chicago, ‘feets. They’ve juiced that crappy cowtown for every drop of political hooch they could organize from it; like an old man’s prostate, it’s swollen and fagged out.
Heh. ‘feets, was it cold last night ?
Artistic contributions.
h/t sdferr for the second one which is in my State.
– Feets was conspicuously absent from the Uncles screwing their Nieces thread, but we can say it here, loud and clear: We told you so!
Pet Peeve:
Candidate films ad, which consists entirely of candidate’s speaking to the camera.
At the end, “I’m Mia Love, and I approve this message.”
NO! NO! NO!
You only say you approve the message if someone else was speaking instead of you during the ad.
I’m not in her district, but still. THINK people, THINK.
“And that’s not a choice we want Americans to make.”
Thanks, Obama, for coming right out and admitting that you’re not that into “choices” that are not government approved. Of course, it seems to follow that if you’re given a government approved list of “choices” there isn’t much “choice” involved.
So to put the proposition in context, no candidate can make a campaign commercial where they speak directly to the audience, since by law the qualifying phrase “I’m so-and-so and I approve this message” must be included? That doesn’t seem quite an idea candidates are going to universally embrace if you ask me. Though possibly getting rid of the mandatory qualifying phrase might swing some weight.

This idea, of course, appeals to many in our Narcissistic Culture.
Along with hatcheries, feelies, soma, sexplay and orgy-porgy.
This is the kind of thing you think is proper when your own mother didn’t want to be bothered with you.
And, perhaps, your father, as the case is here.
the wind was godawful
The new apt seems cozy enough and the cleaners come Monday
U have to hire your own cleaners here
It’s kind of tacky but it is what it is I guess
>the wind was godawful<
give it time it gets worse
That’s unconscionable
by law the qualifying phrase “I’m so-and-so and I approve this message” must be included?
It’s not mandatory, is it? I swear I’ve seen others where it wasn’t included.
>That’s unconscionable<
in 2 months you'll be ca dreaming
Yep, s’far as I understand it it’s absolutely mandatory. Who in their right mind would say such stupid stuff voluntarily?
This is the kind of thing you think is proper when your own mother didn’t want to be bothered with you.
Which is where he got the idea that women are “punished” by having a baby. I wonder how often he saw his mother look at him, then cast her eyes skyward and plead, “Why did You punish me this way?”
It’s not mandatory, is it? I swear I’ve seen others where it wasn’t included.
It’s not required where the ad was not commissioned by a specific candidate, but the sponsor of the ad must be clearly identified (PAC, Congressional Reelection Committee, etc.)
“The Hawk” will come.
800 gram thinsulate is your friend.
Your car come with you? You might want to look into an engine block heater.
– I don’t know how far you are from the El feets, but I do remember riding it for an hour plus to get to Wakeegan was the only time we were ever truly warm, and of course the feet were still numb from the cold floorboards.
dicentra: I’m pretty sure that the push to legalize same-sex marriage is part of a larger project to destroy marriage altogether.
feets: dicentra, i don’t see why a few gheys getting marriaged should lead to that ridiculous outcome; they just love each other, and shouldn’t they be allowed to be with the ones they love?
they just love each other, and shouldn’t they be allowed to be with the ones they love?
– If the fascist Left is doing something you can bet someone is going to suffer every time.
Besides, it’s not like anybody is ever going to force the stupid hatey Christers to marry the awesome gheys to each other!
Is this written in English? Perhaps it is in the same language that the FLOTUS used for her Princeton thesis of which “Christopher Hitchens observes, ‘To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be ‘read’ at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language.’ ”
gb, your link leads to a “404 not found error.”
Always good to see you, mk.
Say “yo” to rt.
Dicentra, if I could imitate happyfeet that well, I’d be worried about myself.
As for “being allowed” to be with whom one loves, it’s been a long time since being married was a prerequisite for that. The attack — as all self-aware members of the PW commentariat have already figured out — is on the legal status of marriage itself, not on any exclusion implied in its legal definition.
Thanks Guinspen. My mistake, I had the page open from my own hard-drive copy and so the link was not an internet one. Here’s the link.
Yes I have car for now… But am close to el … I found it yesterday
Hey i went to nauvoo on way here
Very odd place really there’s this whole Mormon gift shop there but it was sorta downshifted cause of the season was done
Nobody was there in the town do I didn’t have a lot of clues about how people interact with the place
I will ask about the heater thing I have street parking so I would guess is not an option… Car may end up in Minnesota or Des Moines once household is all set up
the sun faces were creepy
and I don’t believe Mr. Smith actually said that quote on the “last ride” statue I think somebody just made it up
all in all the vibe was more masonic than religious I thought
This just about more SEIU jobs.
“U have to hire your own cleaners here”
On the other hand, you could do it yourself, but I guess that would be beneath you and possibly ruin your manicure.
I have to start work on the 5th I have tons to do without cleaning
Today is curtains and getting the place in shape for the cleaning people and movers will be here Tue or Wed and I will have a ton of stuff s to do then
Plus I need to find a manicure place the only one I seen is kinda boozhie
*stuffs* I mean
I’m ordering internet right now
“I have to start work on the 5th I have tons to do without cleaning”
Bull, you don’t work 24 hours a day, you are either just too lazy, or think yourself too good to do a little grunt work.
No for reals I don’t have time I want it clean BEFORE the movers get here
Word of advice feets.
You have one of the best lakefronts in country and its fun to walk and bike along the lake. Stay away when it gets this cold. One slip and they’ll find your body in Indiana , next March.
Enjoy the most corrupt city in the nation in the most corrupt state in the nation.
For those of us that don’t make corporate dough you pull down, we can’t leave soon enough.
Too damn cold to put the canoe in the water this morning. Weren’t any ducks or geese around anyway.
I can but aspire to this corporate dough but is better than LA
and it satisfies my need for new scenery
You won’t really experience the full cold-weather experience until you’re sitting in your car at 2 or 3am on a 15 below morning, running the engine for 15 minutes so that it’ll start for you at 5 am when it’s 20 below.
I need to figure out clothes too
Also the poor creature who lived here left me her snow shovel but its plastic
Should I just toss and get a metal one?
No. Keep the plastic one. Snow doesn’t stick to them as much. Useful Tip. When shoveling wet snow spray the shovel part with WD40 from time to time to keep the snow from sticking.
I don’t recommend it now, but come spring I suggest you take a scenic river tour.
You moved to Chicago during the crappiest time of year.
After the streets are cleared DO NOT PARK ALONG A STREET IN A SPACE THAT HAS SOMEONES LAWN FURNITURE IN IT. Your car will get trashed. After the plow people come out and shovel the parking spaces in front of their homes and put stuff there to keep other people from taking “their” space.
It’s a Chicago thing.
Please god open up the New Madrid Fault. I despise this state.
OK got it… Great to know anout the plastic… I’ll need to get me some lawn furniture I guess
My company gave us an architecture boat thing once but in spring some family will come and we’ll do it then for sire
*sure*
Can’t wait for Saturday and real internet
Do it for sire too. It never hurts to ingratiate yourself with royalty.
In light of what McGehee suggests, I would urge you to join the Man’s Country bath house so you can make valuable Chicago connections and meet interesting people. Nothing like a sauna bath in the cold, cold, Chicago Winters.
But have an answer when someone asks, “Who sent you?” They don’t want nobody what nobody sent.
The poor lil creature what was here is moving to LA and taking her nasty cat
an actress she will be
Chicago is coming out way ahead on this deal
If they ask, just say Abner Mikva sentcha.
Actually, I think Reggie Love might be a better sentcha for that place.
I will for sure
After I ask the googles about him
The cleaning exorcist lady is here now I hope she really knocks it out she seems very nice
About the topic isn’t food stamp implicitly admitting that equal pay issues arise as a consequences of the choices hoochies make
I think he is
I now know a lil something about Mr. Mikva
I prefer Glenn Reynolds’s take
If you had the car in California for awhile and plan to use it this winter get a new heavy duty battery and have them check the connections/cables. In warm climes the battery can get weak but still work fine, drop the temp to zero and your looking for AAA to come and jump start you. You might also keep jumper cables, a blanket, a small shovel and some sand in the trunk for bad times away from home.
At least Chicago does a good job at plowing, or did the last time I was there when they had 12 inches of so overnight.
You’ll also want a metal can of some kind –one of those popcorn tins people give out at Christmas is ideal– and some candles and matches.
