Let us pray for Madison Urban Ministry
Whether it is a state or local budget that strips vital services from our most vulnerable neighbors while offering tax breaks to the wealthy or corporations, balancing a budget on the backs of the poor, or advocating for employment opportunities that offer livable wages and benefits, Madison-area Urban Ministry has been a constant presence in budget and public policy debates. Consistent with our mission we work to engage communities of faith in this advocacy.
— Madison-area Urban Ministry, Linda Ketcham, executive director
Linda Ketcham’s Madison-area Urban Ministry (MUM) works with the Freedom Inc. school committee disrupters, Madison Socialist Alternative, Our Wisconsin Revolution-Dane County, and Brandi Grayson’s Young Gifted and Black. MUM was partner in the Derail the Jail coalition that shut down the Dane County Board of Supervisors last November.
So, would it surprise you that this supposedly mainstream, respectable organization gets fleas when it lays down with those dogs?
Linda Ketcham and her ministry sides with the Freedom Inc. social justice warrior who proclaimed June 18 at a public school committee meeting: “The cops are going to do whatever they are trained to do, which is kill black kids.” (No Madison educational resource officer has killed any students, regardless of race.)
Here is Linda Ketcham on this guy’s social media page:

Seriously; I’ve run into Ms. Ketchum more than a few times in my years in the Madison area, she’s a very hateful person to anyone that disagrees with her point of view. The things that come out of her mouth are not normal. I think the woman may have some treatable psychological issues that she refuses to deal with.

On this we disagree, but only in terminology.
I have absolutely no problem with saying some not all when referring to lefties or Liberals in general; however, I have never met a true Progressive that doesn’t fit what I wrote – at least I’ve not met one yet. Yes vermin is clearly hyperbole, they are not literally wild mammals or birds, but their outright all or nothing bigotry is base criteria of being a true Progressive and their level of all or nothing bigotry is the equivalent to brainwashed cultism.
I think Belief Superiority is a politically correct term that’s trying to glaze over the eyes hiding the all or nothing bigotry. These people will reject the totality of any opinion even if they only actually disagree with a small piece of the opinion, it’s all or nothing with Progressives, that’s not belief superiority that outright all or nothing bigotry.

I like to call that the “ALL IN” approach.
Our pal Woody is clear-headed, intelligent, and eminently capable of critical thinking and presenting well-thought-out positions, but a Lefty at the end of the day. Remember how those epic madison.com morons used to ride him unmercifully because he wasn’t ALL IN?
It should be noted that the ALL IN crowd does provide some occasionally hysterical comic relief.
During (I think) the spring 2008 local/county elections the ultimate ALL IN group (Progressive Dane) was requiring everyone expecting their support to be…welp…ALL IN.
They were anticipating a tsunamic electoral mandate because, welp, just because. They got their @$$e$ summarily handed to them by voters that had had enough of being told how-n-what to think.
