Duh Rules

Leave it to a liberal to be unable to ascertain between proper and repugnant conduct.

Must a candidate for public office hide his/her family completely from the public eye? Can a parent who is proud of her family not also insist on protecting her family? Must children be deprived of participation in the most proud and historic moments of their parent's life because they are then no longer "off limits" to the politics of personal destruction?

I will be graduating soon with a degree in law. This will be a proud moment for me, one which I would love to share with my children. They have sacrificed much along with me and my wife to help me achieve this success and bring honor to our family. I do not think, however, that my fitness to practice law can be measured by who my children are or by the decisions they might make in life. I would hope that when I apply for the bar, they will not pry into my children's relationships with each other or their friends. I see no value in future employers or clients snooping into my children's lives, either. In the course of my career, I will be engaging in some very contentious debates. I am certain that tempers will flare between myself and other attorneys, and I am sure that I will see cases that may inflame public opinion. Thru it all, however, I see no connection between what kind of a lawyer I may become and what kind of children I have.

This does not mean, however, that I will not proudly display them at my graduation, or for future employers or clients. They are a very big part of me, and I want them to be a part of my life. Why can't a candidate for public office enjoy the same pleasures with her family, without exposing them to personal destruction? It's not that hard to see the difference, people!

So let me lay out the rule:

Unless the family member purposely enters the public arena with a political
statement, and is of the age of majority (that means at least
18 years old) - STAY AWAY!!!!

Is it really that difficult? Really?
