Liberal League Baseball?

As I sit here stupified by the audacity of liberalism, I have open in another window the sad story of a nine-year old boy, whose baseball team was disqualified by the little league in Connecticut because he was too good. This just stinks of typical liberal muck. How often do we hear about someone being successful and starting to climb out of the ordinary, mundane world in which they leave, only to be pulled back in by those that want you to remain in the realm of normalcy. The liberal movement over the last 50 years has produced a train of thought amongst their subsribers, that if you are successful, it's not only your responsibility to help everyone else around out, but it's your legal obligation. Bill Gates and his wife have obviously climbed the ladder of success and built themselves a beautiful home in the Pacific Northwest. Using his vast knowledge of computer sciences, he forged his own future and pioneered his industry. And due to his contributions to our economy (new products for purchase on a constant basis, and increased ability to communicate) the liberals constantly attack him for not spending all of his hard-earned money on everyone else, moving into a normal home in the ghettos of New York, and living in trash the way they think that all of us Americans apparently live in.
This all relates to this young boy in Connecticut, because, as I watch from the news stories, his case is much like Bill Gates, Steve jobs, Micahel Dell, and other successful business giants who constantly get attacked from the elitest members of the liberal left. Yes, elitest. Because while they go through their constant verbal assaults on big businesses, they themselves are creating lucritive business deals to ensure their own little slice of the treasury pie. And then, condemn others who make any attempt to raise themselves up a tax-bracket or two. So, as this young boy steps onto the pitcher's mound at another empty ball park, because the liberal leaders of this community have declared that his team os no longer allowed to compete in any furhter events within the league, because he's just too good. His natural talent does not allow for competetive growth within their own childeren, becaseu nobody has taught their childeren yet, how to deal with defeat. It's a wonder how none of the mothers of young nerdy kids have never sued the family of another popular girl for rejecting their kid's to prom. Or is that right around the corner? I thought that winning and losing was all just a part of youth sports. I remember when I was playing soccer when I was younger, my coach would always tell us that some of our best games would be games that we wouldn't win. He was right. I remember several games we played, where all of us on the field played our little hearts out. We ended up losing sometimes, but when we played our best, and played as a team, we actually felt good about losing one or two games over the course of the season. the other team was just plain better. It meant we had to go back to the practice field and focus more of our efforts in our weak areas. Instead of blaming the other team of being too god, and demanding tha tthe number one team in the league be disqualified, we just learned to adapt and overcome, if possible. If not, then go make every effort to win by luck.
Being a father myself, I would quickly lose my cool if my son's coach ever forfeit a game simply because the other team was better, and he thought that the team didn't stand a chance. Part of youth sports is that children learn how to deal with defeat. If coach can't let that happen, then maybe he just doesn't need to be coaching sports at all. We're setting ourselves up for a future and candy-assed people going into the working world with an ability of accepting that you don't always get what you want. Work your damndest for it, and keep working until you get it, but understand that in the laws of life, it's nobody's obligation to just up and give it to you.
I can't wait to see who this kid gets drafted by in 10 years. Hopefully it's the Padres.
