Wisconsin has it's priorities...

Fake "patriotism" to distract from important issues.

Wisconsin to vote on requiring national anthem

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The national anthem would have to be played before all sporting events held at Wisconsin venues that received any public funding under a bill up for a vote Tuesday in the state Assembly.

We're stuck with Robin Vos, who is damn near a Chauncey Gardner idiot, and some hideous teabagger hangovers. I don't even remember most of their names. What's the point if we can't get rid of them no matter what we do?

They want to force our excellent Governor, Tony Evers, to go against their jingoist bullshit to make him look bad because he's very popular here.

And that their sport benefits very little from it. Discussions have been had on a small scale about doing away with it. A couple of basketball teams have been publicly vocal about it.

It’s not a requirement each day Congress opens for business. Seems we should start there. Forced attendance.

I used to bat boy for the bar leagues as a kid for tips, and they never played the Star spangled banner. Hell, I don't even remember them even playing it at out H.S. football games (this was pre-911).
