What I Learned From the Protests in Wisconsin

     Even though there hasn't been school in Wisconsin, there is still teaching going on.  I have watched many videos of the Union protests in Wisconsin.  I would like to post them here, but the civil Union members and protesters use language that I prefer not display here.  I believe you can access the video referenced at WashintonisBroke on YouTube.  Or type in Union Protesters.  There were some things that came to light while trying to keep of with this story.





     First thing I learned is that Govenor Walker is like Hitler.  Because, according to the argument  the first thing Hitler did was destroy Unions.  My uneducated response is that the 1st thing Hitler did was Unionize the National Socialist  German Workers Party.  And moved to make it the most powerful, if not, the only party.  Do you see that?  A workers party!  He was pro-worker!  Or was he anti-anti-Hitler? As an aside, I also learned that it is okay to put an actual picture of a public official in the cross-hairs of a rifle.  And that you can put a picture of a public official dressed as Hitler.  So Tea Party Patriots (AKA Koch Brother workers) what you were accused of doing for the last year, but never documented is greenlighted.
     The next thing I learned was that I, as a Conservative, Tea Party Patriot, and Govenor Walker supporter, I don't have a thought, an action, or even brush my teeth without the Koch Brothers' stamp of approval.  Who are the Koch brothers?  Exactly!  I don't think for myself, the Kochs think for me.  I have never read a book, the Kochs read to me. AND I don't care about children.
 


     I also learned that right-wingers (AKA "rednecks) need to read a book.  Which book?  Which book could I possibly read that would get me to change my position that is supported by such right-wing kooks as Jimmy Carter, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and employees of the Federal Government?  Should I read the Communist Manifesto?  Done.  Should I read  The Federalist Papers?  Done.  The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates?  Done and recommended.  Atlas Shrugged?  Anthem?  The Teamsters Bi-laws?  Any Union Bi-laws?  Done.  Anyone have a suggestion on which book I should read so that I can support camera-shoving, old lady asulting, foul-mouth, economy-crushing greedy individuals that only exist because of the very people they despise:  the tax-payers (AKA voters).

     The next chant came for the third favorite target (after tea Party and Sarah Palin) Fox News.   Fox News Lies.  Look at this:  http://video.foxnews.com/v/4559550/reporter-mike-tobin-harassed-attacked (H/T FoxNews.com)
Did he lie when he said he was reporting live from Madison?  Did Mike Tobin lie about the chanting?  Did he lie about the advise that was given to the resisters?  Did he lie about the seminars on how to resist arrest?  Are there not democratic Senators on the lam in Illinois?  Did they lie when they reported this:  Fox News' Shepherd Smith broke down the Wisconsin protests for Juan Williams this week, declaring that it's all about politics and union busting, and "to pretend that this is about a fiscal crisis in the state of Wisconsin is malarkey."  Oh wait that sounds like a video I watched earlier.  And it was a pro-public union protester that said THE EXACT SAMETHING.  Do they lie on opinion shows?  That's funny because opinion is the opposite of fact.  O'Rielly, Beck, and to a certain extent Guttfeld are opinion based shows.  They are not REPORTING the news they are COMMENTING on it.
    Which leads me to my last point.  I learned, oh God can I even write this.  That what they are doing in Madison is protected under the Constitution.  You mean the Federal Constitution?  Let me get my I-pod.  That is where my Constitution is.  OK where is it.  No mention of Public Sector Unions or Collective Bargaining. But there is a 1st Amendment that protects free-speech, but hate speech is NOT protected.  You know like challenging people to fights, f-bombs and the rest of the actions documented here. 
     The main thing I learned is that the tax-payers (AKA the employer of these thugs) don't have rights.  But the Left has all the rights in the world.  Maybe if we, the taxpayers, had a seat at the same table as the public-sector Unions we might be able to use language "that heals and not wounds".
