Wisconsin Recall Aftermath:This is What Democrats Look Like

The level of insanity in the wake of grassroots citizens vs union thugs is a teachable moment. There have been death threats against Scott Walker all over social media. Democrats are saying Walker should be indicted, or that democracy is dead. Notice, even as state law enforcement investigates and catalogues the death threats, the justice dept and Obama are silent. Over at twitchy they have a listing of tweets and such. Warning: the language is awful. However, it does show you how infantile and immature the left is in its petulance. If tea party peeps or gopers did this, we would be hearing about how violent we are. But, liberals say disturbing and hateful things and no one asks for calm. This fits in also with their needy selfishness-everyone else must pay fair shares, but not Josef union guy....he is entitled. Pathetic.

Wisconsin: THIS is What Democracy Looks Like! Walker Wins, Moocher Unions Lose

From :
Public sector unions have reached their high water mark. Let the cleanup begin as the red ink recedes.

Despite a last-minute smear campaign accusing Scott Walker of fathering an illegitimate love child, the governor’s recall election victory sends a clear message that should resonate around the nation: The fiscal cancer devouring state budgets has a cure, and he has found it. The costly defeat for the entrenched union interests that tried to oust Walker in retribution for challenging their power was marked by President Obama’s refusal to lend his weight to the campaign for fear of being stained by defeat. We’ll see how well this strategy of opportunistic detachment serves in the fall as Obama reaches out to unions for support.



This fight is not without precedent. Progressive patron saint Franklin Delano Roosevelt—who more than any other president set our country on a course away from the founding principles of limited government—knew that public sector unions would be the death of the social welfare state he worked so hard to create. Hence, he consistently opposed allowing government employees to unionize. Today, Greece sets the example of what happens when public sector unions gain the upper hand.

WI and OH: Stay on Target

This win in Wisconsin is a signal that things may not be as bad for SB5 / Issue 2 supporters here in Ohio. Remember, the unions spent a boatload of money on that recall and lost it all. That same strategy will be employed here and in order to achieve the same result, we'll need to stay focused and on message.

SB5 is good for Ohio. Wisconsin has shown the way.

Unions lose again!
