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.

Barone: Public Unions Force All Taxpayers to Fund Dimocrats

I had never thought about this, but after reading this article by Michael Barone, he’s 100% correct.

And since about half of the dimocrat voting base of losers, lefturds, and leeches pays NO taxes, it’s mainly us Republicans, you know, the ones who actually have jobs, and pay taxes, who are funding the enemy.

This needs to end ASAP!

I don’t want my tax money used to fund any dimocrat, whether they’re running to be the local dog catcher or President.

Public Unions Force All Taxpayers to Fund Dems

By Michael Barone

Everyone has priorities. During the past week, Barack Obama has found no time to condemn the attacks that Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has launched on the Libyan people.

But he did find time to be interviewed by a Wisconsin television station and weigh in on the dispute between Republican Gov. Scott Walker and the state’s public employee unions. Walker was staging “an assault on unions,” he said, and added that “public employee unions make enormous contributions to our states and our citizens.”

Enormous contributions, yes — to the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign. Unions, most of whose members are public employees, gave Democrats some $400 million in the 2008 election cycle. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the biggest public employee union, gave Democrats $90 million in the 2010 cycle.

Follow the money, Washington reporters like to say. The money in this case comes from taxpayers, present and future, who are the source of every penny of dues paid to public employee unions, who in turn spend much of that money on politics, almost all of it for Democrats. In effect, public employee unions are a mechanism by which every taxpayer is forced to fund the Democratic Party.

So, just as the president complained in his 2010 State of the Union address about a Supreme Court decision that he feared would increase the flow of money to Republicans, he also found time to complain about a proposed state law that could reduce the flow of money to Democrats.

And, according to The Washington Post, to get the Democratic National Committee to organize protests against the proposed Wisconsin law. Protests that showed contempt for the law, with teachers abandoning classrooms, doctors writing phony medical excuses, Democratic legislators fleeing the state and holing up in a motel. The lawmakers played hooky without losing any salary, which is protected by the state constitution.

It’s true that Walker’s proposals would strike hard at the power of the public employee unions. They would no longer have the right to bargain for fringe benefits, which are threatening to bankrupt the state government, and they would no longer be able to count on government withholding dues money and passing it along to them.

But what are the contributions that public employee unions make to our states and our citizens? Their incentives are to increase the cost of government and reduce down toward zero the accountability of public employees — both contrary to the interests of taxpaying citizens.

An argument can be made that higher pay, generous benefits and lavish pensions will attract better people to public employment. But where are the studies that show that citizens of states with strong public employee unions get better services than citizens in states without?

What citizens of states with strong public employee unions do get are higher taxes and enormous pension burdens that threaten to squeeze out funds for ongoing services, as even Democratic governors like Andrew Cuomo of New York and Jerry Brown of California have figured out.

That’s why one of the great 21th century presidents was against unions for public employees who have civil service protections. No, not Ronald Reagan. It was Franklin Roosevelt who said, “Action looking toward the paralysis of government by those who have sworn to support it is unthinkable and intolerable.”

Lib journalist: Lara Logan rape was “funny”

by Bob in Breckenridge ( 107 Comments › )

A couple of weeks ago, we had white “progressives”, you know the type- enlightened, caring, and tolerant, of others with different views, calling for the cutting off of body parts and the lynching of Justice Clarence Thomas, who, as we all know, is black, or that he should be “sent back into the fields to work”, and also saying that Justice Alito should be hanged or “sent back to Sicily”-

Then earlier this week we had yet another compassionate lib call black conservative and possible 2012 GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain “a black garbage pail kid” who “entertains and perform for their White Conservative masters”, and is “a monkey in the window”.

His rambling, racist statement was mostly incoherent gibberish, as if it was written by a third-grader, which most likely means he’ll soon have his own show on MSNBC.

And as usual, it drew the same response from the civil rights crowd such as the NAALCP, and civil rights activists frauds/shysters such as Je$$e Jack$on and Al $harpton, as it always does when it happens to a black conservative, which is to say none at all.

As we all now know, CBS News correspondent Lara Logan was brutally physically and sexually assaulted this week by a mob of muslim savages shouting “she’s a Jew, a Jew”, while she was covering the events in Egypt last week.

And in yet another show of liberal compassion, Nir Rosen, who has written for Time, Harper’s, The New Yorker, and the New York Times Magazine, referred to Logan as a “warmonger” and said that her being raped was “funny”.

Yeah, he apologized, then made more idiotic and disparaging comments about it, and apologized again, saying this time in his emailed apology that he really truly means it, before resigning from his position at NYU.

And we heard all the women’s rights groups and activists such as the NAG’s (National Association of Gals, as Rush calls them), I mean NOW, condemning both the assault by the muslim savages on Ms. Logan and the absurd remarks by Rosen, right? Wrong. Not a peep from any of them.

But we damn well know that if any of these comments had been made by Tea Party members or any conservative group or well-known person, the libs would be howling about how this proves we’re all racist, sexist, and bigoted homophobes, for days on end, and demanding that someone be fired.

Nir Rosen, U.S. journalist slams CBS’ Lara Logan on Twitter after sexual assault in Egypt, resigns

While the world reels in shock over CBS reporter Lara Logan’s sexual assault in Egypt, another American journalist is causing a different kind of outrage, calling Logan a “warmonger” who was simply trying to outdo Anderson Cooper.

Nir Rosen, an NYU fellow who has extensively covered the Iraq War, made the insensitive remarks during a Twitter rant on Tuesday. He has since resigned from the university’s Center on Law and Security.

“Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson,” Rosen tweeted, referring to the CNN correspondent, who was reportedly punched in the head multiple times while covering the recent demonstrations in Egypt.

Rosen went on, insisting it would be humorous if Anderson too had been sexually assaulted.

“Yes yes it’s wrong what happened to her. Of course. I don’t support that. But it would have been funny if it happened to Anderson too.”

From there, his posts only got worse.

The tweet, “Jesus Christ, at a moment when she is going to become a martyr and glorified we should at least remember her role as a major war monger,” was followed by, “Look, she was probably groped like thousands of other women.”

Last week, Logan, a “60 Minutes” correspondent, endured a “brutal and sustained sexual assault by a mob of men while covering the Egyptian uprising,” CBS News said on Tuesday. She was eventually saved by a group of women and about 20 Egyptian soldiers, the network reported.

The 39-year-old is now back in the U.S. and recovering. Sources told TMZ that Logan plans on going back to work within weeks, describing her as “unbelievably strong.”

Rosen, who has written for a number of prestigious publications, including Time, Harper’s, The New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine, later offered a half-hearted apology, after deleting many of his previous posts.

“Ah f–k it, I apologize for being insensitive, its always wrong, that’s obvious, but I’m rolling my eyes at all the attention she will get.”

Shortly after that, he offered half a dozen sincere condolences on Twitter.

“As someone who’s devoted his career to defending victims and supporting justice, I’m very ashamed for my insensitive and offensive comments,” he wrote, apologizing to Logan’s friends and family.

“I am deeply ashamed because they do not represent who i am, and i would like to convey my most heart felt apologies to Ms. Logan, her family, her friends, all women and too everyone I have hurt, angered and disappointed,” he added in an e-mail.

Rosen resigned from his fellowship from New York University’s Center on Law and Security on Wednesday, according to Karen J. Greenberg, the center’s executive director.

The damage Obama has done to our country

A certain paranoid, irrelevant, failing blogger, who sees Nazis and racists wherever he looks, continually claims that the only reason any Republican voter or conservative blog detests Barack Hussein Obama, is because he’s (half) black.

Please note, for those of you stalkers from the cesspool, and other lib miscreants, without a sense of humor (or functioning brain), which is 99.9% of you, the following two paragraphs are called sarcasm. Thank you for your cooperation.

Of course all of us racists only hate Obama because of the color of his skin! It has nothing to do with the pathetic job he’s doing! It’s the color of his skin that we detest!

If we weren’t all racists, we’d agree he’s actually done such a fine job as President, that he deserves not only a second, but also a third and fourth term! Damn racist constitution written by all those dead slave-owning honkies a couple hundred years ago and amended by other honkies is holding down da brother!

Seriously, the fact is, that since Obama took office in Jan. 2009, the USA is a total disaster. Take a look at these numbers. They don’t lie, nor can they be “spun” to turn the truth into lies. Since wordpress doesn’t do spreadsheets or graphs well, the first number is what is was in Jan. 2009, when Obungler took office. The second number is today, or the most current available. The third is the percentage of change since Jan. 2009.

After reading the chart, you will see that nothing good has happened, and Obama deserves to go the route of Jimmy Carter- One term and done.
