True but Hillary didn’t have a long record of public office for people to look at prior to Bill being POTUS.  Gov. Palin not only has a long record, but a successful record that stands on its own and has nothing to do with Todd.

Now having said that, I do agree that the more time that passes the more people want to see her return to some form of executive role.  I’m not saying that I feel that way, I just agree that many other people do feel that way.

Even here in Colorado that is probably one of the most common comments I hear all the time.  People want to see her hold an office or executive position, work a regular schedule again and fulfill the term of the office or position (only out would be to run for POTUS but no other outs).  Many people were ok with her stepping down as Gov. because they understood and they thought she was going to run in 2012.  When she didn’t run in 2012, they weren’t so sure she should have stepped down and feel she should have stuck it out.  I hear it all the time, the further 2006 to 2009 is in the books of history the shorter her tenure as Gov. looks on a resume and the less weight is given to it.  She just wasn’t there long enough is what many say.  By 2016, they want to see some sort of return to an executive roll as it will have been 7 1/2 years since she was in office and by 2020 will be almost 12 years.

As one guy told me, he said once you move out of the office and into a contract/consultant type position as your own boss and work from home on your own schedule (he works software), he said you don’t realize just how much you enjoy having control over your time, and yourself until you move back into a structured, office type role.  In his industry, he said that transition is common and many times people find that they hate the re-entry into a structured environment and formal role even if it is what they dreamed of.  He was one that said he wanted to see her hold a 9 to 5 position for a few years to make sure re-entering such a type of role was something she really wanted.  He was in no way saying she couldn’t do it, or that she wasn’t qualified.  He feels just the opposite, he would love her to run and get this country back on track.  he just wants to make sure that it is what she would really want.

His opinion isn’t isolated, it is very common when you actually start talking to people out here.  Everyone has their own reasons, some understandable to a degree and some not so much but it is a common feeling that people feel she needs to prove that part of herself.

Out here in Colorado, it doesn’t so much have to be an elected office, although for some that is important and would hold more weight, but for many it is just wanting to see her back in a formal leadership role with tangible measures of success so something like what DeMint is doing or possibly taking a struggling organization and turning it around would be a positive.  I don’t think just working for a group like CATO, Heritage, Susan B. Anthony or Americans For Prosperity is enough. They would want to see her in the executive role, leading the organization, showing up for work in an office day in and day out, dealing with staff and stay there until a POTUS announcement or contract fulfillment is up and that would satisfy most.

I agree it isn’t fair but I also agree that it is, what it is…

I agree.

I think the whole gender aggression movement has gone too far and had too many negative consequences.

It’s become an aberrant subculture wrongly celebrated and rewarded for its malignant intrusiveness. I see it as parasitical to the victories won in past civil rights efforts. 
 

Congratulations to your son!

The boy is a Star and will be Life in March. He is already thinking about his Eagle Project, he is pretty motivated about it.

He loves scouting and has learned so much. I am disappointed the BSA would even consider this. They have been fighting for years to prevent gays and atheists from joining and have spent much money in the courts to fight. They won with the courts saying since they are a private group that gets no government help, they can set their own joining requirements.

Why they are looking to wave the white flag is beyond me.

I am hoping this is just a very large trial balloon they are floating to see how the scouting community reacts.

If last night’s Troop meeting is any indication, it is an eventful day at the BSA headquarters.

I do take comfort in that if they do allow it, in my small, red conservative town and the boys Troop, I can’t see it affecting him and his experience, but what about my grandson (someday!) I am sure the boy will take his boy to scouts and want it to be there for him as well.

It’s Total F   B        . But then, folks seem to like B         .

I am beginning to wonder if there are any survivors.  This is just insane. These people have to be somewhere. They have to have neighbors, family, friends etc… someone, somewhere would at some point say something…
