20 days of leftist threats and thuggery in Wisconsin

Remember a couple months back, right after the shooting of Congresswoman Gabriele Giffords, when the libs got their bloomers in a wad over the Tea Parties and Sarah Palin’s website “targeting” libs that we needed to defeat, and their almost non-stop pontificating about how it was this kind of tone that led to the violence committed against Giffords and the other victims?

As we all now know, the shooter had no connection whatsoever to the Tea Party and/or the GOP, and was, in fact, (yet another) leftwing whackjob.

But now, when their union thugs not only start using signs targeting politicians they disagree with (see example above), but actually physically threatening the lives of those whom they disagree with, and even their family members, their wives and children, we hear nothing from any of their “leaders” condemning this way over-the-top violent rhetoric.

The dimocrat politicians, along with most of the dimocrat voters, and the members of MSF’inM were so quick to blame the Tea Parties for the shootings of Giffords and the others, before their was one shred of evidence that the shooter was a Tea Party supporter, and even before the bodies of the victims were cold.

Now? We hear nothing from any of them

Breitbart has an excellent timeline of the incidents of lefty union thugs attempting to intimidate and threaten, including using bodily harm, and even death threats, against the Republican Governor and Senators for fulfilling the promise they made to the citizens of Wisconsin last fall.

20 Days of Left-Wing Thuggery in Wisconsin: When Will Obama, Democrats, and MSM Call for Civility?

Below, you’ll find a compilation of 20 days worth of the death threats, vandalism, and intimidation practiced by pro-union thugs opposed to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill. Wisconsin is my home state. I lived there until I was 27 years-old in 1993 and most of my family, including my parents still live there. For that reason and because the issue of education and teachers unions has been a passion of mine for going on two decades, I’ve been following this story very, very closely. My original intent was to compile all of this earlier in the week, but after reading Lee Stranahan’s superb editorial I decided to wait and see if that might have some effect on the national and local Wisconsin media in moving them towards giving the ongoing violence, intimidation, vandalism, and overall thuggery occurring at the hands of union activists and their supporters, the coverage it needs and deserves.

The coming fall of the House of Saud

Dick Morris has a new column out about what will happen, when, not if, the Saudi monarchy is deposed, and how the Republicans need to ratchet up their rhetoric about new drilling for oil ASAP.

NEXT TO FALL: SAUDI ARABIA

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

Published on DickMorris.com on March 9, 2011

We can do without Libya’s two million barrels a day of oil albeit with significant disruptions in the global economy. But if we lose Saudi Arabia’s nine million, we will face a global catastrophe.

And the Saudi monarchy will be the next casualty of the Middle East revolutionary wave. The king is 86 years old and very ill. The next two men in line are both over 80 and both sick. And, behind those three in line are 7,000 princes, each ambitious and at war with one another. The monarchy will not be able to buy off the opposition for long with cash subsidies. (We are indebted to Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal for these insights).

The fall of Saudi Arabia will accelerate the stagflation that will mar the final two years of the one-term Obama Presidency.

Republicans need to ratchet up their rhetoric about new drilling for oil. The 2008 liberal counter-argument that new drilling is not a short term solution begs the question of why the Administration has not used the intervening two years to effectuate the longer term solution that it offered.

Republicans need to be more vocal in criticizing the Administration for its defacto moratorium on off-shore drilling. Obama’s people are so sensitive to these criticisms that they just approved the first permit since the BP spill.

If Saudi Arabia collapses, Obama’s moratorium has put us in a tough spot. we are importing more and producing here less.

Nice going there Barack Hussein Obama.

 

How to fight a border war, the Obama style- Beanbags for the good guys, bullets for the bad guys

Of course, the Mexican criminals had actual bullets in their rifles, and after our Border Patrol agents, who were woefully unprepared for an actual gunfight, fired at them with beanbags, the criminal illegal aliens returned fire, with AK-47’s, that had real bullets in the clips, killing Agent Brian Terry, age 40, almost instantly.

Good to see that Janet Napolitano Incompetano and her idiot boss in the White House are doing all they can to protect those who swore to protect America’s borders.

Have I ever told you that I vehemently detest this worthless, arrogant, incompetent, narcissistic, liberal, socialist scumbag POS who is occupying our White House?

And obviously, I realize that by calling attention to the incompetent America-hating scumbag in the Oval Office, I’ll be labeled a racist by liberal swine because if I point out what an imbecile Obama is, I’m only doing it because he’s Black. Well, half black.

Records show agents fired beanbags in fatal border gunfight

Border Patrol agents shot beanbags at a group of suspected bandits before the men returned fire during a confrontation in a remote canyon, killing agent Brian Terry with a single gunshot, records show.

And an illegal immigrant wounded in the gunbattle who is now the only person in custody linked to the slaying contends he never fired a shot, according to FBI search warrant requests filed in the U.S. District Court in Tucson.

The documents provide the most detailed version yet of what happened in the deadly gunbattle Dec. 14 in Peck Canyon, northwest of Nogales.

The documents say the group of illegal border entrants refused commands to drop their weapons after agents confronted them at about 11:15 p.m. Two agents fired beanbags at the migrants, who responded with gunfire. Two agents returned fire, one with a long gun and one with a pistol, but Terry was mortally wounded in the gunfight.

Border Patrol officials declined to answer questions about protocol for use of force, citing the ongoing investigation.

But Terry’s brother, Kent Terry, said the other agents who were there that night told him that they were instructed to use the non-lethal beanbags first. It’s a policy that doesn’t make sense to Kent Terry.

“You go up against a bandit crew that is carrying AKs, and you walk out there with guns loaded with beanbags – I don’t get it,” Terry said in a phone interview from Michigan. “It’s like going to the Iraqi war with one knife. It boggles my mind. … These guys (Border Patrol agents) are professionals; they should be able to use their judgment call on their own.”

On the night of the deadly encounter, agents were trying to apprehend at least five suspected illegal immigrants. One agent, using thermal binoculars, spotted two men carrying rifles. When the group came close, at least one agent identified himself as police and ordered the men to drop their weapons.

Here’s how the rest of the events are described in the FBI document:

“When the suspected aliens did not drop their weapons, two Border Patrol agents deployed ‘less than lethal’ beanbags at the suspected aliens. At this time, at least one of the suspected aliens fired at the Border Patrol agents. Two Border Patrol agents returned fire, one with his long gun and one with his pistol.

WI Gov. Walker’s “Nuclear Option” to end this lib childishness

If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt its validity, why hasn’t the Governor of Wisconsin, and the GOP majority in the Wisconsin Senate, used it by now, to put an end to this childish dimocrat nonsense?

Then I read this, which pissed me off-

“I would guess (Republican) Senators are trying to figure out what token gesture, maybe a procedural consideration, allows Democrats to save face.”

So here we possibly go, yet again, with Republicans worrying more about playing nice with the libs, so that they can come home without their tails between their legs, than doing what they were elected to do, by the majority of Wisconsin’s residents.

To which I say: Screw the libs!!!

They run off and hide like spoiled children who are upset because they can’t get their way, and the Republicans are supposed to worry about not hurting their “poor wittle feelings”??? W.T.F.?

I am just so damn sick and tired of hearing and reading that insulting crap time after time.

It is especially insulting to the people who gave them a majority to DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO, and not give a damn about how they need to be civil to the libturds, when we’re in charge.

History has proven, time after time, that when the libs are in charge they don’t give a damn about what we want or think. They talk bipartisanship, but to those losers, it means us agreeing with them. See. Obamacare. For. Instance.

This “civility” and “new tone” crap has got to end, until the libs prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it works both ways!

Gov. Walker can use a little-known but constitutional maneuver to break the impasse over unions’ rights. John Avlon on how Walker can get his way even with Democrats boycotting the vote.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has an un-played ace up his sleeve in the budget fights that have made Madison the focus of a national struggle between fiscal conservatives and public sector unions.

A little-noticed provision in the Wisconsin State Constitution—Article 8, Section 8—allows non-fiscal bills to be passed by a simple majority of state legislators, rather than the 3/5th threshold that drove Democratic state senators to Illinois in hopes of denying the Republican Governor the ability to go forward with collective bargaining reform as part of his proposed budget cut package.

This means that if the collective bargaining were delinked from the budget measures and put forward as a separate bill, it could be passed with 51 percent of the legislators—and without Democrats’ participation.

“In layman’s terms, what Article 8, Section 8 says is that if you don’t have a fiscal bill, then a quorum is a [simple] majority,” Robert Lang, Director of the State of Wisconsin’s Legislative Fiscal Bureau, explained to me. “If the collective bargaining portion were delinked, I believe that could be accomplished.”

“If he [Governor Walker] separated the collective bargaining issues into a stand-alone bill a simple majority would be sufficient for a quorum, which he would have with the Republicans,” added Terry C. Anderson, director of the non-partisan Wisconsin Legislative Council. Anderson cautioned that if any fees or appropriations were included in the collective bargaining provision, they would need to be excised before moving forward with fewer than 20 senators present.

UPDATE-

Wisconsin Senate Democrats found in contempt, ordered taken into custody

MADISON — The Wisconsin Senate has passed a resolution calling for police to take 14 Democrats into custody for contempt after they fled to Illinois to avoid voting on a union rights bill.

The vote taken Thursday comes two weeks after the Democrats left, effectively delaying the vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal taking away most collective bargaining rights from public workers.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says the action is legally different from an arrest, but “definitely a shift from asking them politely.”

The resolution says the absent Democrats are determined to be guilty of contempt and disorderly content. It gives the sergeant at arms the authority to take any and all steps, with or without force and assistance from police, to bring the senators back.
