The following text (in two e-mails) below was received from timkisting@aol.com, commenting on a brief analysis (SC Decision Striking Down Gun Control Is Fine with This Progressive) on the Supreme Court decision, District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290), that was picked up in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on Sunday.
Well, let's hope this guy, timkisting@aol.com, doesn't own a gun.
The ad hominem attempt (below among many) to insult by raising the possibility of my being a "fag" merits a reply: Being gay is okay. As is working for the people residing in "Milwaukee's ghetto population".
Good for Tom Petri; bad for the House Republicans. Republicans talk a good game about supporting our troops; they do not walk the walk.
I mean is the thought that we honor troops who serve merely one or two tours of duty really that repulsive to Republicans?

via MAL ContendsMadison, WI - "The County Board's mood didn't mirror the public outrage," in questioning "embattled" 911 Center Director Joe Norwick yesterday, reads the Capital Times.
That's likely because the public is of the mind that 911 operators reached ought to err on the side of credulity over disbelief, and callers tend to view defects of these best and needed 911 practices with derision. Read More »
Contact Speaker Michael Huebsch and his co-hort Representative Stephen Nass, and let them know that you object to their destroying Wisconsin's world-class educational institution.
Wisconsin used to take pride in its university system supported by a bipartisan consensus to create a world-class educational facility.
Now, under the leadership of the GOP-led state Assembly, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and its sister campuses are under assault, deadly assault.
From the blog Waxing America:
In Pedro Colón's (D-Milwaukee) run for the Milwaukee City Attorney's race, Colón has gained the enmity of the usual suspects on rightwing radio.
Both Charlie Sykes and Mark Belling ripped into Colón Monday though not offering any argument against his candidacy.
Of course, Colón who lists among his supporters the Milwaukee DA, the City's legislative caucus, and US Rep. Gwen Moore, also gets an occasional hit from those upset by his successful advocacy of a sexual harassment victim. The nerve of that Colón!
And Colón is campaigning for the City Attorney's office advocating that he would work with other officials to flush out the law protecting Milwaukee citizens so that citizens would be better served by the actions of their government and the police. What nerve this uppity Hispanic has!
The naysayers are unpersuasive.
Amen to Colón's efforts to make government serve the people it is supposed to serve.
What can bring together the Milwaukee mayor, the DA, and virtually the entire City legislative caucus in a divisive election season?
Pedro Colón running for City Attorney. Reads the Shepard-Express endorsement:
(Mu)ltiple conversations with Colon, and really listening to his plans for the office, have won us over. We enthusiastically support state Rep. Pedro Colon for city attorney on April 1. We also understand why District Attorney John Chisholm strongly supports Colon. ...
Colon’s ideas would take the city attorney’s office into the 21st century by working with other levels of government, especially on reducing crime and nuisance properties; training police officers to respect the rights of citizens while making arrests; fighting to fix the school choice funding flaw, which currently penalizes city taxpayers; finding fair solutions for residents who have had their driver’s licenses taken away; and personally advocating for the city when important lawsuits arise.
Unity and action are playing well this election season, though a small number of naysayers still insist the key to better public policy resides in sitting on their duffs.
