Silly rabbit, tricks are for liberals - and SEIU affiliated Wisconsin judges

My friend just sent an e-mail suggesting that the Wisconsin judge who placed a temporary halt on the recent and contentious labor law passed in Wisconsin has a son who is connected with SEIU and, therefore, by rights, the judge should have recused herself from the case.

Of course, where my friend is concerned, it's easier to point out the flaws in another's thinking than to recognize them in our own. Still, we should continue to point out these flaws in the hopes that our friends will do the same for us someday.

Any how, back to the judge from Wisconsin; just because her son may wear SEIU-purple footie pajamas to bed at night, doesn't mean the judge would allow that affiliation to soil her reputation ... I mean, to influence her decision. And, the fact that her son, apparently, grew up with an attitude that fits so well with an ultra-Left-wing organization like that doesn't mean Mom had anything to do with the development of her son's perspective. Look at Ronald Reagan and his son Ronny? Maybe Mom's a devout conservative and her son is still rebelling against common sense.

Of course, Mom's decision from the bench does appear devoid of the same kind of logic. And, maybe she is a liberal, as well. Maybe that's where her son got it all, like picking up a virus from someone who spent too much time cleaning the dog pen without the help of a pooper scooper. That doesn't mean she should recuse herself.

And here is where logic failed my friend. He forgot that the world operates under two distinct rules of nature - one for conservatives and a completely different set of rules for liberals.

The problem is intrinsic to the core values of the two groups. Conservatives have chosen a narrower path in life. They believe that, just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you should. For instance, just because a person has the ability to put something putrid in their mouth doesn't mean they should. Or, for another example, just because we can elect a black man president doesn't mean we should elect the first one with superior teleprompter skills.

Liberals, on the other hand, aspire to a lower set of standards. Sexual shenanigans, while generally devastating for the careers of conservative politicians, are accepted among the liberal herd as nothing more than an expression of creativity. I mean, only a liberal would try to passionately argue that oral sex is not sex.

And so, in terms of conflict of interests, from the liberal perspective, this is called acute justice. Which makes sense, after all. It's acute because it's in touch with their inner feelings. To heck with legal precedents, does the decision give you a warm fuzzy, that's the question. The application of liberal justice does tend to leave a bit of a putrid taste in ones mouth but, after a while, their breed seems to have gotten used to the flavor.
