I’m glad Unstable Isotope posted the police chief’s take on Wisconsin Governor’s Scott Walker planting Egyptian thugs into the protests surrounding the Madison capital building.
And the fact that it was ignored by all media for 24 hours and now is only being given some coverage by MSNBC, thanks in part to the vision of reality given by the man who made me typing this possible; Bill Gates.
What got lost in all the outrage, was the simple question: Is this really democracy when you have to plant thugs into a peaceful protest because your side is wrong?
Here’s how Democracy was explained to me. Each side argues its position. The audience listens to the debate and forms an opinion. The audience then votes, and with good probability, the result should be the one making the most sense.
It is extremely unfortunate, that Republicans have taken Democracy to a point, where IT IS NECESSARY TO HIDE THE FACTS from the America people.
It is America’s Reichstag moment.
The facts are, a lot of Americans are against this bill. They are not special interests; they are firefighters, policemen, plumbers, carpenters, actors, and anyone and everyone who works for a living.
Trying to kill, maim, create havoc, so that in responding back to getting hit in the head, those heroes seem like madmen too, is not what our founding fathers had in mind… In fact, it was against such people that our founding fathers set up our Constitution to protect our nation from.
Ladies and Gentlemen: These Republicans are very sick individuals. This is not how our country is supposed to act.
This is the behavior of a party that knows it is a minority. These are cultist personalities, who know a fluke has put them into a seat of power, and they will Jonestown the world in their brief time, to make their point. That point being they are stupid, ignorant, self-centered, disruptive, arrogant, ugly, prostate-crazed, balding, incontinent, and very rich men.
I wish I could be kinder, but this is America, not Egypt. We elect Democrats and Republicans, not strongmen for 30 years…..
This is what happens when you give people who can’t control themselves, too much money.
This is one more reason, why they need to be restrained….
Continuing the tax breaks, giving them even more money, is the wrong approach… You want changes, raise their top marginal rate not up to 97% like it was during WWII, but just even to 40% like it was during Clinton’s term… That is how you will take back America and restore the rights to America’s middle class. That is how you create those millions of jobs that opened up from 1946 all the way up to 1974.
It’s simple math. It’s preserved in our historical record. America does really well when its top marginal tax rate goes above the 40% marker.
Really well..

So the governor considered planting agitators. OK. Stupid idea.
Have you nothing to say about the actual thugs there? The ones threatening to take someone out side and “fuck you in the ass you fucking faggot”? Or the Union goon who hit a 5’1″ woman for asking him questions while she filmed him? What about the racist comments directed at a black Tea Party supporter?
Tell me again who are the sick ones?

Alas, I missed those…. But based on what you say, all three sound like they were those very plants hired by the governor. But since I know nothing about them, kinda silly for me to discuss it… But that would make the most sense.

Absolutely nothing in your response surprises me.
1. You assume these goons are plants
2. You haven’t heard of it (due to MSM and HuffPo ignoring it)
3. You will go no further in determining the truth as that might hurt your preconceived biases.

Silly,
That’s the equivalent of me asking you whats going on in Aouzou today and you saying you didn’t feel qualified to answer, because you hadn’t heard… …
So, what IS going on in Aozou today?

Complete strawman. You brought up Wisconsin and the happenings there. You used that as an opportunity to comment on what’s going on there and calling Republicans sick. The actual sick people are the violent leftists there whom you conveniently ignore.
Who is acting like a party in the minority? Those who are voting or those running away?
There’s going to be another election in 2012. If what Walker is doing is so wildly unpopular there why aren’t they just shoring up the base to throw him out? Collective bargaining restored etc.
Simple. They know they don’t have the public support to reverse the decision.
If unions serve their members to well why are they fighting against recertification? They should win in a landslide every year. The truth is they know they won’t. They’re dug in like ticks and most people think they can’t get rid of them. If that turns out not to be true, it spells doom for Big Labor and hence, Democrats nationwide.

First: what’s a strawman?
You say the actual sick people are leftist who I ignore…
Sorry, can’t ignore what I can’t see… (They were probably plants, anyway, lol.)
And you may not be aware, but some say were the election to be redone today, Scott Walker would lose… Of course, that is neither here or there, but jumping to the conclusion that labor will fail in the next election, seems somewhat premature….. considering the current evidence that is..
Instead of Reagan’s air traffic controllers, I think this situation is more analogous with Hitler’s attacking Russia… A lightning quick strike that takes the opposition off guard, but, …missing is the calculation that they have more resources in the end, and once Walker has spent his political capital, the unions have much more to keep throwing at him… and the Tea party I’m afraid, will become the Pee Party….
(Don’t drink too much tea my mom always said….)
The Dems are in a minority. If they show up, the bill gets passed. Under the rules this is the only option to s .. l … o… w… things down… and they have (because it’s in the rules) the right to do so… It is probably a cowardly way to go about it, similar to the ways of the Republicans inside the beltway of Washington, … I mean if you lost the election so badly that you no longer make any impact except by staying away to withhold a quorum, then you really can’t complain too much that your were in the wrong…
But those rules are in place to keep rash things from racing through… They can be misapplied, but without quorum laws, one side could secretly meet in the middle of the morning, and pass legislation that could be signed by a sympathetic governor… and still be a minority opinion relative to the whole state…
If Walker was so right, and fully backed on this by his voters, …. He should do the right thing and postpone this provision and use it as a campaign wedge for 2012. The Democrats should do the same.
Then, instead of ramming something detrimental to that state’s economy based on some philosophy that has yet to be proven to work well in even one case….. The arguments can be made up and down the state and the people themselves can decide based on their vote…. 🙂
