Progressives, such as online cult leader and supposedly great political analyst, Charles “Icarus” Johnson, complained when some Tea Party activists had posters of Obama as Hitler. As we know, this was mainly the Larouchers, who are themselves a cult. Either way it was a small segment of the Tea Party movement that did this. Yet leftists, like a certain unemployed Californian, are silent as Progressive public sector workers in Wisconsin compare their governor to Hitler and Mussolini.
The Republican governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker is attempting to prevent the teachers unions from abusing their collective bargaining powers. The teachers pay nothing towards their health care and pensions. This has led to a state deficit and and long term debt. Walker’s budget wanted to restrict pay increases to cost of living and force the workers to pay towards their pensions and health coverage. This is something that private sector workers do and they make less money. Clearly something must be done as this is not fair to the taxpayers of Wisconsin.
MADISON, Wis. – Faced with a near-certain Republican victory that would end a half-century of collective bargaining for public workers, Wisconsin Democrats retaliated with the only weapon they had left: They fled.
Fourteen Democratic lawmakers disappeared from the Capitol on Thursday, just as the Senate was about to begin debating the measure aimed at easing the state’s budget crunch.
By refusing to show up for a vote, the group brought the debate to a swift halt and hoped to pressure Republicans to the negotiating table.
[...]
In addition to eliminating collective-bargaining rights, the legislation also would make public workers pay half the costs of their pensions and at least 12.6 percent of their health care coverage — increases Walker calls “modest” compared with those in the private sector.
Read the rest: Wis. lawmakers flee state to block anti-union bill
The public sector unions have caused a fiscal crisis for the states. Public pay in many states is now more than private pay. This is an economic imbalance that is hurting this nation. Governor Scott Walker is tackling the problem head on to improve his state’s economic competitiveness, something Progressives don’t grasp nor care about.
As usual not only is the state union protesting, but they are receiving assistance from the regime of Community organizer in chief, Barack Hussein Obama. His Organizing for America group is sending advisers to assist the teacher’s union. Clearly this is outside interference in a local matter. This typical of what 3rd World regimes do and Obama is implementing this for America.
Here is video clip of some of the signs the Obama backed protesters were
carrying.
The failed California programmer praised these protests. Progressives like him are OK with Republicans being called Nazis or Fascists, but they get upset when they are compared to it. The real reason why Charles “Icarus” Johnson is OK with the Nazi comparisons is because he believes that Conservatives are Nazis. Chuck believes that these protesters really are fighting Nazis and that’s his reason for supporting them.
Progressives are hypocrites and Chuck the failed blogger turned online cult leader is just an example of this. Civility for thee, but not for me. This is why Conservatives must show the left no mercy. Politics is war through other means.

They’re teachers -- what would they know about history?
Teach these sobs a lesson. Fire them. All those imported mofos are Obama’s private army. Brought to this event just as there were thousands brought to Egypt.
There are also picture of walker out there with a target drawn on his face, but I bet we don’t hear to much about that since he is not named Palin
Looks like Chris Wallace went the way of Bloated Bovine with his reversal on views and COOKBOOK!!!!! Get lost you sob.
I still think the teachers who brought their students without parental permission should be charged with kidnapping. How dare they tell their students to go protest with them. This is the part that real gets me. Its brainwashing pure and simple. Lets see if some parents have the balls to push this.
actually, i saw some of those folks and i’m not so sure they are part of the Tea Party Movement. I guess if attendance at a Tea Party event makes them part of it, then i’m wrong. But, the LaRouchers were always way off to the side in my experience. Never any of the speakers or organizers though.

House Judiciary Committee Passes Medical Malpractice Reform Bill
The House Judiciary Committee last night passed H.R. 5, the Help
Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare (HEALTH) Act,
which would reform medical malpractice laws. The American Dental
Association an ADA-led coalition of dental organizations endorsed
the legislation yesterday. The bill now heads to the House floor.
The legislation, introduced last month by Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.),
has 82 cosponsors. The ADA believes it would provide the right
balance of reforms by promoting speedier resolutions to disputes
between patients and dentists, maintaining patients’ access to
courts if needed, provide for maximum patient recovery of damage
awards including unlimited compensation for actual economic damages,
while limiting non-economic damages to $250,000.
The bill still faces hurdles. While passage by the full House
is likely, the Senate has yet to consider similar legislation.

Taxpayers, those in the private sector that have taken huge hits on their 401K’s, have had no raises in several years, have been laid off, and have watched their own health care premiums soar thanks to the mandates of Obamacare, are getting very fed up with the public sector workers that hold the opinion that the recession shouldn’t affect them. Their petty selfishness at being asked to contribute due to budget constraints is worthy of a 2-year-old. And I agree with Mike A., and I would summarily FIRE those teachers who brought their students.

Obama Policy Czars Defunded in Spending Bill
The amendment, offered by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), specifically targets Obama’s “climate czar” by blocking funding for the assistant to the president for energy and climate change, the position’s official title. The amendment would block funding for the ‘czars’ through the end of the fiscal year, when the spending bill would run out. The underlying bill also includes a provision to block funding for the position.
“I think this sends a strong signal to the president that we are tired of him running this shadow government, where they have got these czars that are literally circumventing the accountability and scrutiny that goes with Senate confirmation,” Scalise said after the vote.

If you think Wisconsin got ugly, wait till Jerry Brown doesn’t get those tax increases that he wants so badly and finally has to make cuts in the public union benefits (public sector unions that he paved the way for). It doesn’t help the teachers’ union in California that charter and home schooling is showing a higher success rate for students (which is why they tried unsuccessfully to have home schooling outlawed and are trying to limit charter schools).

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard pledges to hold fire
Senior officers in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have written a letter to their commanding officer demanding assurances that they will not be required to open fire on anti-government demonstrators.

Following the recent violence that occurred during anti-government protests in Egypt, the officers argue that it is against the principles of Shi’ite Islamic law to use violence against their own people.
In a suggestion of a major split within the Islamic Republic’s ruling hierarchy over its handling of anti-government protests, the letter has been circulated widely throughout the ranks of the Revolutionary Guards, the body responsible for defending religious system.
The letter, a copy of which has been seen by the Daily Telegraph, is addressed to Major Gen Mohammad Ali Jafari, the Guards’ commanding officer. It calls on Major Gen Jafari to issue guidance to both the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij paramilitary militia to use restraint when handling anti-government protests.
During the violent anti-government demonstrations that followed the disputed presidential election in June 2009, which saw President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad elected to serve a second four-year term, the government relied heavily on the Basij to suppress the protests over fears that it could not rely on certain Guards units.
But in the letter, which is signed by senior officers commanding Guards units in Tehran, Qom, Isfahan and Tabriz, they urge Major Gen Jafari to “use your authority over the Basij to order them to leave their truncheons at home next time.”

The year before, the school board requested a 20% increase.

Israel Supreme Court rules Hebron Jews can’t reclaim lands lost after 1948
Court ruled in the past that the wishes of the owners should be taken into account in deciding the use of the properties, but rejected compensating owners of property from before establishment of Israel.

The Jewish community in Hebron celebrated this week the decision of Education Minister Gideon Sa’ar to fund Jewish heritage trips for students to the city’s Tomb of the Patriarchs.
But last week, the community suffered a setback when the Supreme Court ruled that Jews could not be given property which belonged to them in the city before 1948, and that they are also not entitled to be given any compensation for it.

Meanshile, the SEIU and the Teachers’ Unions spent their members’ union dues on organizing, t-shirts, signs and political campaign contributions.

BTW, anyone following Beck? He has been discussing some very un-PC views of islam and current events for the last 2 weeks. Most of it pretty good, IMHO. He did try to be “fair and balaneced”, by having on some guy last night who claims to be the mythical moderate muslim. Who claimed that hadith like the one ensconced in ham-ass’s charter ’bout the last not coming until muslims slaughter all of the Jews are inauthentic and thus not islam.
It is nice to see a so-called moderate. I have not seen enough of this guy to get a feel if his position is taqiyaa or not. Also I believe those hadith are accepted as authentic by the rest of the muslim world.

@ Nevergiveup:
What is scary is thaty these fuckers are the ones teaching children in public schools. Can you imagine one of these fucks as a role model for your kid? I always say, and it is true, that if I had had children, they would have never darkened the door of a public school. We’d probably be better off scrapping them, but that is not a politically achievable goal. Getting rid of the unions is the start, though, of reforming education and making it to where you would want your child to go to public school. And these “teachers’ protesting know that. That is what they are against.
crap

Ya, a couple of my friends home schooled their kids, when it came time for their kids to take the SAT’s they smoked the state average so bad that the state tried to have their scores ruled as invalid. A lengthy court case resulted in the state being seriously embarrassed.
The state tried to argue that since many home school programs include equal treatment of creationism in their science curriculum that their science portion of their SAT’s had to be thrown out.
Turned out that the parent of these kids were smarter than the state, because none of them had used the equal treatment of creationism in their science curriculum material. Several of the parents had advanced degree’s in the hard sciences and saw that trap coming from a 100 miles out. Man was Sacramento pissed at being out maneuvered like that.

It is interesting to me that they have so little faith in science that they are frightened that children will be exposed to Creationism. This in light of the fact that 80-90% of the world’s population are creationists of one stripe or another. What happened to diversity being the highest possible good?
Nevergiveup wrote:
I’ve wondered about this myself. I have a K-12 certificate and a degree in Education from a major university. I chose to go on for a masters in business. For the first part of my career I worked in corporations and as a consultant. Corporate pay was great and the benefits were terrific but there was always a risk of layoffs or losing a job to bankruptcy or merger. Being a part of gen X I saw it frequently in the 90s. Then I made a shift to public service in the last decade. I quickly found out that most of the people in my state that were attracted to state jobs really were interested in serving the public. Georgia is a right to work/fire state thanks to Zell Miller. The retirement is very good but you have to put in many years at 50-60% of private industry wages. Suffice it to say state workers don’t do it to get rich.
The teachers and government employees in our state are not unionized. There is a culture here that encourages hiring layed off employees whenever there are available positions. There is some loyalty- but no lifetime positions. We lost a lot of colleagues in the recent downturn and we didn’t borrow money to keep people employed. Over the last few years we’ve had no increases in pay and we contribute more to our benefits. Most of us chose to take furloughs rather than see colleagues layed off -- especially in positions that serve the public directly. (we left managerial positions unfilled).
Even here our Teachers had modest increases and counties often pay for some of their benefits. One of my children’s teachers complained they had to take furloughs until my daughter reminded them that other state workers (like her dad) got no increases in over 3 years and still had furlough days.
I was not impressed by the whining of our teachers -- who had to sacrifice less than their other peers in government, and who still had much more security than private industry counterparts.
Even then I contrast the sacrifice of state workers here, and the general gratitude that they still have jobs with what I see in Madison and I’m appalled. The Governor should fire teachers who pretended to be sick to protest. If you take a public service job you are not there to serve yourself. Granted you won’t get rich but you also don’t have the right to garanteed employment regardless of performance.
That is what I think the problem is. Teachers don’t have any at risk compensation or employment short of criminal behavior. They have become entitled in ways no other workers are. They are also used tobeing the ultimate authority in their classroom. They really don’t have to spend much of their working day dealing like adults with other adults.

No, we are fighting. Right now, the flash-point is Wisconsin. That is where the Cold Civil War is hottest, but we are fighting it all over the country. The GOP took control of more states than it has had since Reconstruction. It has always been interesting to me that the Republicans saved the Union (the Democrats would have let the South leave peacefully), so the American people, more often than not, have voted Democrat ever since. Same with the black vote. The freed slaves voted Republican, but their Dependants are lockstep for the Party of Jefferson Davis and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Not to mention Orville Faubus and Bull Connor…

As long as the Left insists on spewing the silly-jism that “Hitler did X, So-and-so does (or wants to do) X, therefore So-and-so equals Hitler,” it is time to start pointing out that Hitler was a vegetarian, many lefties are vegetarians, therefore lefties = Hitler; Hitler talked about “lebensraum” (living room/space), lefties advocate lebensraum by seeking population reduction, therefore lefties = Hitler.
