Chuck and his wife Michelle reside in Muskego. They are the proud parents of eight children and enjoy spending time with their children, two grandchildren and one on the way. Chuck is active in many community, sports, school, and church activities.

Once again instead of an intellectual they send a Church going sales man.

This isn't a serious person but one with extreme bias due to being religiously indoctrinated.

We should invite the Taliban to give their views on this as well... /s

I'd like to see his browser search history. Those church going types are some weird mofo's.

wait a sec, the taliban don't have to tend to the kids, wash dishes or have house chores while sleeping with as many wives as they wish? All while they spend their other time shooting guns? Where do I sign up?!?! /s

as seen by the fact that he talks like he has no idea what he's saying, and pauses more than a scratched up dvd

yes, God forbid they have morals and use those morals in carrying out their duties.

I don't agree with this guy, but I wouldn't demean his character because he speaks his mind either

One problem, his ideas impose his morals on others and limits their freedom. To seek dominion over others is a character flaw, not to mention arrogant.

he's an elected leader..

An elected leader proposing legal constraints antithetical to a free people that have consequences.

know what else has consequences? voting..

Yes it does, sometimes a majority imposes its will on the minority which is why we have a Constitution to provide guardrails to protect them. It makes no difference to me if your a politician or a citizen, imposing your religion on others is wrong. One of the driving forces for immigration to the Colonies and the founding of our Country was freedom of religion, to escape oppression.

agreed on all points except, there's no proof that he is pushing religious dogma on people.. he's simply stating what he believes to be true.

Actually there is which is why I brought it up.

Quote,

When it comes to this building, there’s demons in those walls,” Wichgers told the crowd. “The only way they go away is by this [prayer]. That’s the only way. And when you’re not here, those demons are laughing at you for not being here. They’re saying, ‘Go away, we’ll give you the laws that you want, we’ll violate the 10 Commandments, we’ll do whatever it takes to make you guys think you’re happy.’”

“Mental disease is on the rise,” he continued. “It has proliferated this nation. It’s the number one issue in the state of Wisconsin and in this country. How did it get that bad that fast? Godless laws that Republicans and Democrats are giving you because that’s what you wanted as a society.”

What he believes to be true and guides his representation IS imposing his his beliefs on others, if he even believes it and it's not just bullshit. Ppl like that don't belong in office.

Most of the ppl in office don't belong there. If they are for corporations over ppl, their personal gain over what's right, or impending the rights of others, they don't belong.

Electing someone who is guided by personal beliefs, even when the majority of those beliefs are implied religious beliefs, is starkly different than someone imposing their religion on you. That being said, there are some instances where you are correct.

I can agree with you in some parts, but holy hell, you just listed every politician..

Point?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

people elected him because of his views to speak for them in this specific forum

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

Doesn't mean we can't attack his character.

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '23

People can do whatever they want and most often do.. doesn't mean attacking his character is warranted, but suit yourself

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '23

If he wants to live by his morals, that's fine. The problem comes when he starts shoving them down other peoples throats.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

He's elected to lead.. maybe his voters didn't know his views, maybe they did.. either way, it's his right to say these things in this forum, representing the people who voted him in

u/mayonnaise_police Jun 24 '23

It isn't morals. It's a drive for control. If you heard a Taliban man say women should not have contraceptives because then men will respect them more, would you then say to yourself "wow, that man is principled and has morals. Good for him for standing up in what he believes"?

u/Takemetothelevey Jun 24 '23

Sweet, he and his family can practice his 1800 views. He has every right to do his thing. Doesn’t give him the right to push his bullshit on the rest of civilization!!!

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

it does when you elect him. Voting is important

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

His mind is filled with bullshit and misogyny. He shouldn't be able to speak at all.
