IT'S THE BATTLE OF OUR TIMES!

So, in my previous post I had asked where the Tea Party people were as a big protest that is getting a lot of media coverage was surely somewhere they should be. Silly of me to assume that those fine, hardworking people were working the first few days and couldn't get down there until Saturday. Here's a chunk of super spectacular awesome spokesperson Andrew Breitbart lays it all out for you:



It is 'Deeply UnAmerican' is it not? It's too bad his words fell onto the deaf ears of anarchist teenagers who never listen.

Again, completely avoiding the actual facts here and continuing with the ridiculous notion that the 'unions,' and by proxy the entitled freeloaders and bottom-feeders loafing all over the capitol of Wisconsin, simply are trying to avoid paying their fare share, "like the rest of us." "We work too!"

Oh, and since he mentioned the media and their millions of cameras only catching tea party types, "picking up after themselves." You might remember this...

Or this?

But you know, WHATEVER! Racist, ignorant shit bags have jobs too.

That fat liberal on MSNBC probably could say it just as well:

I like it when he tells Rush to wrap his fat ass in the flag. Hee-hee, he said, "Ass." Those whiners should get strafed by fighter jets. GO EARN IT?! Jesus-Tap-Dancing-Christ, how dare those Wisconsin people be employed by the state in a lazy attempt to provide fundamental services required by a civilized society. Oh, and by the way, I have been waiting for a nice graph demonstrating the simple fact that the state worker does not make the same money as the, "oh so put upon" person in the private sector. This is from the Daily Kos so it's would be completely ignored by anyone who is on the right as part of their usual campaign to willfully ignore "facts."


That is one sentiment I see posted around the most as it relates to articles about Wisconsin, something sort of like saying that, "these union types need to pay their own contributions to their health care and pensions just like I do because it's not fair." All under some dreamed up premise that they get better deals, better salaries and nearly free (and apparently better) benefits, or whatever. Look at the those numbers up there...Those people are not getting better deals than the folks in similar positions in the "private sector." It's fucking bullshit, as usual.

You know what's not fair, marching for freedom against someone who has access to fighter jets to kill you with...Not marching for your labor union's right to bargain for your collective benefit. Perhaps the problem is with that word 'collective' as it sounds like something a socialist would say...Or perhaps a disdainful, under-qualified, 'Community Organizer.'

So what is Governor Walker, Tea Party hero saying today? Could it be this massive, unprecedented march on Madison has gotten to him enough to do some compromising? Perhaps get that collective bargaining thing back on the table?

Welp, he says:
“The bottom line is we are trying to balance our budget and there really is no room to negotiate on that because we’re broke,”

Or, in other words, "Fuck You! I'm a stubborn asshole fuckface and I made up my stupid mind." And that's leaving out the flat out bullshit lie related to the state being broke. Hey Asshole, you want to see a broke state drive down to Rockford and find your missing Democrat senators and you will be in one.

On MSNBC, according to the Trib, he also used some scare tactic:
Walker said not passing the bill by Friday would make even deeper cuts necessary and possibly result in laying off 1,500 workers over the next four months.

*stamps his feet* "If I don't get my way I am going to make it even fucking worse!?!" Never mind that he ginned this up with his own budget prior to this or that he apparently is taking part in a "tea party liberation" of America to make it even better for the upper one percent.

Hell, his number two contributor to his campaign last year was the slowly becoming infamous Koch brothers, this according to liberal, bullshit, rag Mother Jones:
Charles and David Koch are conservative titans of industry who have infamously used their vast wealth to undermine President Obama and fight legislation they detest, such as the cap-and-trade climate bill, the health care reform act, and the economic stimulus package. For years, the billionaires have made extensive political donations to Republican candidates across the country and have provided millions of dollars to astroturf right-wing organizations. Koch Industries' political action committee has doled out more than $2.6 million to candidates. And one prominent beneficiary of the Koch brothers' largess is Scott Walker.

According to Wisconsin campaign finance filings, Walker's gubernatorial campaign received $43,000 from the Koch Industries PAC during the 2010 election. That donation was his campaign's second-highest, behind $43,125 in contributions from housing and realtor groups in Wisconsin. The Koch's PAC also helped Walker via a familiar and much-used politicial maneuver designed to allow donors to skirt campaign finance limits. The PAC gave $1 million to the Republican Governors Association, which in turn spent $65,000 on independent expenditures to support Walker. The RGA also spent a whopping $3.4 million on TV ads and mailers attacking Walker's opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Walker ended up beating Barrett by 5 points. The Koch money, no doubt, helped greatly.

The article goes on about various other means the Koch brothers help fund a variety of conservative causes, most often tied to eliminating organized labor and debunking the "liberal conspiracy known as climate change."

Also from Liberal, muckraking, lie-rag, Mother Jones:
Koch Industries, a Kansas-based company founded in 1940 by father Fred Koch, is the second largest privately held company in America. Charles and David Koch are tied as the fifth wealthiest people in the nation, worth a combined $43 billion. Their money comes through a variety of business interests—ranching, mining, oil refining, and production of paper products, fertilizer, and chemicals. It would be an understatement to say that they have much at stake when it comes to efforts to cut climate-changing emissions.

Oligarchy -–noun, plural -chies.
1.a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few.

Small government indeed.

I continue to hope that those lazy, freeloading, whiny, Democrats get back up to Wisconsin...
“They’ve got to come to Wisconsin, do the job that they were elected to do, do the job they were paid to do, and if they would do that we’ll sit down and talk to them,” he said. “But the bottom line is we can’t negotiate over a budget because we’re broke and we need the money.”

And do their gawd damn jobs OR ELSE
Another witness said armed men dressed in militia uniforms roamed the capital's upscale diplomatic neighborhood and opened fire on a group of protesters gathering to organize a march. People wept over the dead.
