Keep the heat on. This one can change everything.

The correct analogy is to Greece, and not to Egypt (or any of their Arab brothers).

Wisconsin’s babies are arguing against austerity, not for democracy.

Can they be charged with abandoning their posts and refusing to preform their sworn- by- law duties? Can Fugitive Warrants be sworn out?

What are the penalties if any? An immediate boot- to- the- butt- to- the- curb by their Bosses -the Voters of their State.

The Concord Project: Fighting for Freedom in the Fall

If teachers or lawmakers tried that crap in Alabama, there would be hell to pay.

I can’t understand why the parents in Wisconsin aren’t furious–or maybe–if they are, why they aren’t telling these teachers and the people they elected to their congress to get back to work or else.

The lie perpetrated by the left for so long that they “care about the children” now shows itself as the garbage that it really is. Instead of doing their job and teaching, they’re throwing hissy fits and acting like babies. If the state elected a R governor, I’m sure the majority of parents have to be feeling more than a little ticked off at those who are defying his attempts to govern.

I’d say it’s time for some ultimatums for those ungrateful teachers AND the worthless lawmakers who ran away from their duties.

So let me see if I have the facts;

- Wisconsin is in serious debt and can’t afford to pay 100% of the retirement and health-care benefits for teachers

- Wisconsin is asking teachers to pay a small share of those benefits which is less than what most of the private sector pays

-Wisconsin is below the US average for almost every single educational proficiency measure (save one where they are slightly above average)

- They want to continue to fleece the taxpayers of Wisconsin, watch them lose their jobs and houses, rather than pay their fair share. They would also rather risk losing their jobs then pay this small percentage

- Democratic Party lawmakers in the state, don’t really like democracy or representative government unless it works in their favor (by the way that’s called tyranny). So they have scurried away from a vote which the citizens of Wisconsin elected them to vote on. They would rather hide like rats than fulfill their duties under the state constitution for which they were elected.

- Obama supports both the undemocratic behavior, bankruptcy of Wisconsin as an option and feels that teachers paying a small part of their benefits. Is. Unreasonable and wrong?

Yeah, I think that about summarizes it. Wisconsin and Democrats must be so proud.

On a side note, I sometimes like to take the temperature of the opposition by stopping by huffnpuff. Just to give you an idea of how toxic this has become for them, their headline is about GOP blocking backdoor net neutrality, with this story 3 down from it.

High Speed Rail? It makes it much easier for a cowardly Dem to skedaddle out of town.

Then, the Democrats who were supposed to be voting on Scott Walker’s budget decided to go on strike in solidarity with the union protesters by shirking their legislative responsibilities sneaking out the back door and fled to Illinois—to stay at a non-union Best Western Resort—only to be caught on camera as they were routed by Tea Party activists and forced to flee once again.

He called in his demands from a “secure location”? They are all not in the same place at the same time…?
What next ? Will they kidnap Patty Hearst.
No wait . I’m dating myself. In this day and age they would most likely kidnap Bristol Palin.

The lefties are cracking up.

There is a way to pass this without the infants. Separate the labor legislation from the budget, and that can be passed by a simple majority. Then the Dems wll have to come back to face the fate of the Texas Dems in 2003, who have never recovered from that cowardly stunt.

Being in willful violation of their duties is a Class 1 felony under WI law. A felony conviction automatically vacates the seat, mandating a special election, without any need for the legislature to expel the member. So the AG should get cracking.

If this goes on past the weekend, start firing them until they return to work, Reagan-style. Just like PATCO in ’81 or the NUM in ’83-’84, unconditional surrender is the name of the game. Never again will a peep be heard out of them while the legislative neutering goes through over the next few years.

And not just them, but also BOzo (Obama) and the other Dems and RINOs who want to keep spending money we don’t have?

…where the bank robbers demand a helicopter and a pipe organ, among other things.

let him know that you are in SOLIDARITY with him. Let him know that this cannot stand, that Democrats MUST act as if there is a Republic and the voters votes counted in November!

And it’s going to backfire on them.

Yet he says it’s “an assault on unions”. Code for “Calling all union thugs. Report to Madison immediately.” I wish I could go to Madison for a counter protest.

Did those kids get to the rally on school buses?

I’ve been at our state legislature and watched schools bus in a bunch of kids to lobby. Not take a tour, but to “Show the legislature who they were affecting when the cut the budget.” This was during school hours.

Our public employees are not supposed to use any government resources or time to conduct political activities. Using school buses to haul kids to lobby the legislature when those teachers were supposed to be teaching the kids sure sounds like a violation to me.

Of course in a democrat controlled state no one will do squat about it.

Now – Get back to work.

No one will hear them. He should have called American Idol. More reach and more fitting.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Its probably not legal but if I saw one of those bastards who fled I’d grab their behind and lock them in my car and drive to Wisonsin

According to reports, many teachers who called in sick brought their students to the capitol for the protests. Is it realistic to think that every one of them got explicit permission from all parents to do so? Since they were not on duty, they were acting as private citizens, not as teachers.

I wonder if there are any Wisconsin parents out there who would be justified in filing a kidnapping complaint against their local union thug – er, I mean, teacher.

The stuff is hitting the can a little earlier then the ’12 elections. In my opinion this probably is only a forerunner of worse to come, and with Obama & his creators in the media encouraging this destructive rage we ought to be both wary and prepared. Insanity rules the left.
A report out today says libscum were demonstrating right at, the US House Speaker’s home, accompanied by the usual raving hate.
I’m sure our media moralists will be outraged,[ smirk]

have provisions for re-call elections? If so, the movement should start today to rid the state of these vermin. The Gov. & Atty General should also pull out all the stops and hit back hard. Scour the state constitution and pass laws immediately passing laws fining and/or otherwise penalizing the Marxist teachers, where possible, without the Dem senators. Maybe selective firing of the leaders for inciting illegal work stoppage by calling in sick.

Secondly, wherever possible, Tea Party patriots should counter-demonstrate.
I would give up a vacation day to participate in my state. You know we could put overwhelming numbers around a state capital.

and other governors should be asking him for advice!

This is essentially an insurrection against the state government there being aided and abetted, if not coordinated by the POTUS through his statements and helping out with his political organization. It is more of an attack on the representative democracy form of governance than anything the Republicans have ever done.

This is an attempt at mob rule when all else has failed by the left.

Those responsible for pushing the insurrection both inside and outside of the state should be investigated and charged by the state to include the state’s reps filing a measure to impeach the O for inciting and supporting an insurrection against the lawfully elected officials and state etc etc.

Actions have for to long had to few consequences for the left – it is way past time that changed.

Spoke to a gentleman in her office and I congratulated and urged them to continue to stand up to the union thugs stating they were the tip of the arrow to start turning the tide against this bully corruption.

Any shows of support even if not from Wisconsin would be greatly appreciated I believe. Also sent him and told him about the Freedomconnects website to get the word out to all Wisconcinites (did I say that right)?

I have spent some time at HuffPo reading about this topic. It is very revealing.

some of the posters are saying this is “our Egypt”. They claim that this will turn off independents so they will support Democrats. They see this as a huge opportunity for them to make big gains. They claim the kids marching are all going to be future Democrat voters.

I guess I wonder what the mushy middle things about it (although according to Doc Holliday’s quiz I am a member of the mushy middle).

This is a line in the sand that we must draw and stand firm. Take the unions down and fire the teachers, if necessary.

BTW, could the Dems make themselves any more ridiculous? Good grief.
