Maybe they need some help.

Oh, wait.....They'd come here.....

KEEP 'EM !!!! :P :P >:D >:D
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I didn't write this, but it sums things up:

Letter to the Left --
 
To all leftists, occupiers, unionistas and malcontents,

Thank you! What an election! We couldn't have done it without you.  Without your tantrums, outbursts and boorish behavior we might have stayed home for this election. Without your filthy, pot smoking hemp -headed minions occupying and violating the Capitol we might have been complacent. Without your obnoxious protests, boycotts and other actions from your union playbook, we might have sat this one out.

But you couldn't hold back. You couldn't restrain yourselves and behave like adults. You couldn't accept the 2010 election results.  We sat and watched as you erupted in a juvenile hissy fit that embarrassed Wisconsin.  The spectacle you created is what motivated us. And thanks to your ill-mannered behavior, we won. We turned out. Big time! And now we are organized and energized. Committed. "All in". And we aren't going away. We now have our own organizations (no dues required), an army of volunteers and the means to communicate. And countless new sources of funding,  including a donor base from all 50 states. And we have "iverifythe recall" to ferret out your infiltrators in our future local elections.
So thank you Mike Tate, Graeme Zielinski, Fred "Loonie" Levenhagen, Ismael Ozanne, Maryanne Sumi, Noble Ray, Charles Tubbs,  Joanne Kloppenberg,  Segway Boy, John Chisolm, public employee union members, UW TA's, WEAC, SEIU, MTI,  AFSCME Council 24 in Union Grove and WI prison guards,.  Thanks for the death threats, the intimidation, the bullying, belligerence, thuggery and goonish behavior. The lack of ethics and the failure to enforce rules and laws. Thank you for putting your selfish, greedy motives on display for all taxpayers to see.

Your antics might have made you feel good but they didn't make you look good. They sickened the rest of us.

Thank you Shirley Abrahamson and Ann Walsh Bradley. Your petty politics woke us up. Thanks you Miles Kristan for dumping the beer on Robin Vos's head. Thank you University doctors for writing the phony excuses; Madison teachers for calling in sick or dragging your students to the protests without permission. Thank you Katherine Windels for making death threats against the Governor. The noontime capitol singers who taunted Sheboygan high school students.  Thank you WEA Trust for raping Wisconsin taxpayers. Thank you Gwen Moore for your embarrassing minstrel show. And thanks all of  you for harassing the Walker family at their private home.

You have all been exposed. Your tactics have been rejected. Your bad behavior has been forever captured on You Tube.

Thank you Peter Barca and fellow Assembly members for donning your foolish orange T-shirts and screaming "shame" at legislators just doing their jobs.

Thank you Mark Miller and all 14 senators for fleeing the state and making fools of yourselves in the process. Illinois need a few more village idiots. Thanks for showing us what democracy doesn't look like.

And Mayor Barrett. How grateful we are that you chose one low road after another in your issue-less campaign against the Governor. This was your strike three. You are out. Take a seat on the bench and stay there. I have a hunch this was your final at-bat.

All of you helped turn Wisconsin permanently red. Your Governor, Scott Walker, will not just complete his first term, he is all but assured as many future terms as he seeks. He will be your governor for a long, long time.  Get used to it. And his national "rock star" status just might lead him to be your President some day. Just think, it couldn't have happened without you! So to all of you blue fisters, thank you from the bottom of my happy, red heart.


Sincerely,

A Wisconsin taxpayer

I saw me the funniest thing this morning. It was in North St. Louis County; a place where one rarely sees a cheese-head. But there it was - a Wisconsin license plate. And a bumper sticker with the name "WALKER" and a big, black X through it. Losers!   :rofl:

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

It hurts worse because he was so reasonable sounding.

The main problem, as I see it, is that we've FINALLY started killing off the Leftist-Unions-Leftists tax money into election "donations" machine, but only after, arguably, they've already gotten about 95% of what they've wanted...  =|
I promise not to duck.

Charles got it right.  Despite all their (actual) protests to the contrary, the thing that got the Unions into such a lather was the automatic collection of dues.   Without that direct funneling of money, the (public sector) unions have been effectively snipped and tied.

According to Charles, in WI, AFSCME lost 50% of its members in less than one year . . . in Indiana, government sector unions have lost 91% - 91%! - of their dues-paying members.

From the time I was learning about the labor movement, union shops, etc., in grade school, I thought there was something immoral and corrupt about union membership being forced on people; it appears that a lot - make that a majority - of union members thought the same, and are now voting with their feet.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Methinks Michigan recently passed a law prohibiting public employee unions from requiring union dues to be taken from paychecks.  I think the # of public union membership drastically went down as a result. :rofl:
