Gooooooooooooooo John, Tell it!

41st time.. Political gimmickry.. It's so freaking sad, she.. we have to get them out in 2014~

You gave me this a while ago. It sure has meaning.

1.) Give a warning (This is to stipulate the inappropriate behavior you want stopped. In a low toned voice having one to one eye contact and coming down to the child’s level as not to intimidate.)

*Walk away from the child, to give them a chance to think about what you have just said. If you see the repeated behavior, go straight to #2.

2.)Take child silently to the step, sit them on it, and explain to them why they are now in time out.

3.) Walk away set the timer for one minute per year of age. If a child calls you from their time out ignore them. If the child gets up from their time out take them back to the step with no communication and walk away resetting the timer to the beginning.

4.) When the child has sat there for the correct amount of time. Go back to explain for the second time why they were placed on The Naughty Step.

5.)Tell them they need to apologize and say sorry for their behavior (This allows the child to understand the importance in reflection, and that their actions have had an impact, and by saying sorry one can start fresh.)

6.) Hugs and kisses after the apologies. (This is important because it allows the child to see that this is their parent’s disciplining them and that mommy and daddy do still love them.)

It sure applies to the Repukes. John Dingell is taking them to the mat! Actually, I do believe this President uses the same technique.

They are going in 2014 Cha. It's time.

I do hope we can get to Step#5 and they can see their actions have impact by losing their elections. Then they can be ever so politely shown the door. They've earned it.

Can I make one observation. There is one point I disagree on, and just for discussion.
Some years ago a teacher of mine said that if you tell the child to apologize, or to say "I am sorry,' the child may well say it, but will not feel it from their 'essence,' but just parrot the words from their outer personality, from that which they show the world..indeed from that which they themselves believe to be their true being.

So it is important to find ways to teach the child to actually 'feel' the mistake, or whatever..to feel that their behavior was wrong...to feel what they did to another. It is not an easy thing to do and requires a very wise parent. And if it not taught at a young age, the wrong behavior can become very calcified and difficult to change later in life.

I certainly would not want to make the blanket statement that republicans don't feel from their true inner essence (no, i would never say that, now would I), but it is a very common...trait, that is often undeveloped in people who tend to lean to the 'right'. There is that something so many of them were never taught as children.

So, yes, because it is probably too late to teach them how to behave, how to 'feel,' John would in fact need to wack them in the head, sort of like the character in Inglourious Basterds who wields the baseball bat. Figuratively speaking, of course.. well...
It sends the lesson directly home.

& can I say WHUP! WHUP!

But they perform like an old LP full of scratches and have a stick needle, what a piece of crap.
