Wollersheim Winery Grapes

Last week Amanda and I went on vacation with my parents. We rented a house on Lake Wisconsin called Water’s Edge Retreat. It was a fun vacation, we did a few things. One interesting place we visited was the Wollersheim Winery.

It’s a pretty big winery, well at least to my standards for a winery in Wisconsin. They have tours that tell you a little bit about the history, show some areas of the vineyard, a few fermentation tanks, the cellar, and finally they have you do some wine testing.

Overall I think it was great. All though, it was not as much fun for Amanda, not being twenty-one and all. If you are ever in the Prairie du Sac area, or just in central Wisconsin, check it out.

I’m really getting kicks out of this “Say No To SOCIALISM” crap put on by people who think Obama will destroy our wonderful Capitalist Republic. Because, you know, all those other countries with socialist policies are doing so bad.

How’s your medical system treating you, Canada? How about those nationalized banks that make Switzerland so economically on top?

Let us think about a United States without any socialist policies. There would be no Monday through Friday work day, it would be any day. There would be no 9-5, it would be work or die. There would not be some very dangerous work conditions. Unions come from socialist policies, and many people are taking them for granted; I am not saying unions nowadays are perfect, but that is who made a difference.

Tell Illinois that if you want to work in trades to remove the mandated union membership. Tell the Department of Transportation to lease all roads to private firms. I am perfectly fine with paying tolls to drive to work, or find some way to maintain those roads through non-nationalized means.

I am going to walk into any damned restaurant or business I want and smoke. Unless the business owner tells me no. You non-smokers and your anti-smoking laws are allowing the government to dictate capitalist free market. That is a socialist policy by having the government control the economy and private business.

What about Bush and Obama’s economic bailout? What about Reagan’s trickle-down economic theory? All of these interupt capitalist economics, and they can all be related to socialist policies.

Quit bitching about things being “socialistic” or not. This country would be very different if it removed any sort of socialist policy from its government.

Everyone wanted the seat belt laws, speed limits, no texting while driving. Why would you let such parental legislature come into our lives? Oh ya because socialistic policies revolve around caring for your fellow man. I forgot. Not saying I want half of these bullshit laws – but the point is all the same.

Our government has a bureaucratic backbone. Know who else did? The Soviet Union. Oh no! We’re goddamn Stalinists! GO TO YOUR FUCKING WORK CAMP.
