Wisconsin, Watch Yourselves. There Are Sharks Among the Badgers

People have a natural proclivity towards rationalization and complacency, constantly looking not for the moral way through a problem, but whatever is easiest. It is to this end that I wrote the following -
Keep your eyes open folks and get to the bottom of every story. These are the times in which the world's "rules" are rewritten by the victors of the upcoming war. And if you think the insanity stops there, well, you better rethink your position.
To be sure, there are far larger fish that can be fried then some of the issues that are currently being discussed in this bill. For instance - the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports. The Governor is crying poverty and to this I say - take a principled stand and open up the books. Let's see exactly what Wisconsin has in way of property. I bet we could find some money in there to either appropriate or cut! It is this double set of books which continually blinds us to the true nature of fiscal status in this great state.

To the 'right', stop being used, Yes we need to control spending, but where are you guys on the atrocities that are being committed in the name of the state like the aforementioned CAFR. Your blind indifference to welfare recipients above anyone that makes $50,000 a year is stunning. The banks are robbing the people not only blind, but dancing on their corpses as well.

To the 'left', quit acting like tools. You are also being used.  This is the people's hard earned money that you're gleefully flushing down the toilet with your half-baked ideas and insatiable mantras. You are not bankrupting the elite, thanks in part to the 'right', you are destroying your fellow citizens. And you seem incapable of dealing with one simple question, How do you pay for all of this?!?

According to reports , Governor Walker has prepared the National Guard.

We can ask ourselves, why would he do this? To the extent that we examine protest violence the answer that question I present the following video of a teacher melee in Oaxaca, Mexico.


To claim that Walker would be talking to the Guard in an attempt to 'incite' the crowds is sheer absurdity. Surely last year's European riots are not lost on the Governor . One only needs to review the report of protesters showing up at his personal home to realize that this is probably a prudent move. After all, if prison guards failed to show to work and the inmates escaped, who would we blame?

The unresolved question at this point is what will the governor do with the Guard. For that, we cannot know until such a time as he actually deploys them. Sure, they can be used to repress freedom, and as far as I can see, this is not the case at this point.

To the teachers that claim this is about the children I call an unequivocal shenanigans. True, there are those that do work outside of their normal duties. So what? Most of us now do such things on a regular basis. You are an employee. You were hired to provide a service to the taxpayer, namely to educate the children. A task you are failing in miserably. It is a natural consequence to this.

As a matter of fact, it is the opposition which has now refused to participate in the legislative process to which they submitted their resumes.

Good for them I say, to take such a principled stand surely is a sign of outstanding character. And with baited breath we all await your resignations. Along with the teachers that lied and called in sick.
