Walker v. Public Employees

[RecycleMichael]

I have officially had it with unions.

Well...now that it is official...

I have an idea. Don't join a union. They won't become lawyers. Fair deal.

You may think threatening to break the neck of a news man is fine--not me. And please, knock my profession, although given the collective brain power of the union members I have seen recently they couldn't get through undergrad. I'd be surprised if they graduated high school.

That's rich.

How about this?:

Although it took Rep Broun 2 days to denounce this, he did.  He should have stomped that out the instance it left the old man's mouth.  I don't care if you don't like the President's politics or ideology, to ask that question shows the intelligence of the common Tea Partier now.  It almost sounds like they're advocating this by their silence.

This is the same guy who called Obama a 'Marxist', because he thought having a security committee that reported directly to him felt like it.  He's also the one that during the SOTU he tweeted "Mr. President, you don't believe in the Constitution, you believe in socialism."

Where is the outrage that existed when the Tea Party protests were taking place?

Seen anyone bringing their AR-15 to these gatherings?  Any talk of watering the tree of liberty with the blood of yaddayaddayadda?  Nope.  Just good ole fashioned marching, protesting, drum circling, etc.

Whatever. Did anyone in the tea party threaten to break a newsman's neck? How about pushing around young women? How about one man threatening to rape another man? Just keep apologizing for these union bozos or trying to draw some sort of an equivalence. Soon it will get worse.

How about someone asking 'when is someone going to shoot Obama?'.  Someone off his meds?

I am going to wait until all the apparent supporters of violence against women and rape have checked in before I compare and contrast incivilities.

Just like I'm waiting for all the apparent supporters who advocate shooting our sitting President check in.  Wow.  You're a drama queen, Tony.

[Gaspar]

This is delicious!  There couldn't have been a more fitting group than labor unions to be the new guard of the Democrat party.  They are now organizing in almost every state to protest everything from education to pipe-bending.

In a nation fed-up with entitlement, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

[TeeDub]

I'm surprised no one has thrown the Hitler/Nazi card yet.


Oh wait, there it is.

I am so glad to know that there can be no violence at a demonstration without an AK-47.

This country has had plenty of examples of violence on both sides when Unions and Companies clash, even without an AK-47.

Sure, absolutely.  I definitely remember those kee-razy anarchists back in the 1880's.  I used to work near the Haymarket, incidentally, when I lived in Chicago, so sure, I definitely know.

But to this group's credit, they've been in the capitol for a week, in numbers slowly increasing to nearly 100k this weekend, and there's been no reports of violence. 

And trust me, if there were, Fox'd be allll over it.

Wow!  You're even older than I am.

I think they've been doing a great job of getting their message out.  They've been very clear.  They are providing a good lesson for the American people.  I think this type of public action, on the part of labor unions, needs to spread, and it looks like it will.

So often unions use soft bargaining behind closed doors to achieve their goals.  The public never gets to see them with their masks off.  Now we do.

Perhaps that is one of Walker's goals.
