civility is only required if your politics are right of center and you are non union...

the union thugs can paint pictures of Republican politicians in the crosshairs ... and it is more than civil...it is down right expected and allowed from these thugs...by our Kenyan _resident

The events taking place in Wisconsin are truly momentous.

The people of Wisconsin had an election just three months ago to address the fiscal crisis in the state. Somewhat strikingly, they spoke in a clear and convincing way, overturning decades of Democratic party rule and electing both a governor and legislature who were committed to reducing the power of public sector unions. (By the way, I think such unions, to the extent that they bargain collectively for contracts which bind future legislatures, are unconstitutional).

In any event, the governor and the legislature set about doing what the people sent them to do. Their freedom of action is now attacked by extralegal and extraconstitutional forces, who have closed the schools and made it impossible (perhaps temporarily) for the legislature to function. Members of the legislature and the governor have been credibly threatened with bodily harm. The capital is, again perhaps temporarily, under the control of a mob.

The President, who leads a government required to guarantee Wisconsis a republican form of government, is verbally and perhaps otherwise on the side of the antirepublican elements.

What this means is that powerful combinations are arising which do not respect the legitimacy of elected State governments and which are prepared to claim a right to rule superior to the right of the people of Wisconsin to govern themselves through elections.

The unions, the teachers, and the President are defending the Brezhnev doctrine here. “The armies of socialism march in only one direction”. If elections give them what THEY want, elections are fine. If not, they are meaningless.

I have often said, meditating on the poor stupid and foolish Republicans, that they have yet to show, post 1945, that elections are capable of changing the status quo. No elected body, in any state, at any time, has reduced spending globally so that the size and scope of government has been reduced. The Congress has never even attempted to do so.

Perhaps we are living in an illusion. Perhaps the forces of socialism have the real power (the power to determine events), and they are not able to be displaced by peaceful means.

Wisconsin will tell us much when the outcome is known.

So much for "civility" - this picture needs to be posted on every TV in the country especially since we had to listen to lecture about civility for days last month.

marks formerly known as “crosshairs” are henceforth designated as “marks of civility”

and the government unions have negotiated benefit packages for themselves that are no longer sustainable.

This could not have been done without the help of politicians trading union support, for these outrageous benefits with the taxpayers money.

I got accosted by a kool-aid drinking liberal in Boston last year at the Sarah Palin rally while I was carrying this sign:

The difference between my poster and what these people carry is that the reference to pitchforks came from Odingleberry himself.

I detest liberals and liberalism. It is the greater danger to this country than anything else.

Those aren’t crosshairs, those are “civility lines”. /sarc

Where is the outrage from the left wing propagand pimps? SarahPac merely put crosshairs on a map, to denote districts that were being targeted. Nobody’s face was ever put in crosshairs. These lefty union thugs put them across the governor’s face.

I was just looking through the photo gallery accompanying an article in the Washington ComPost about the protests in Madison.

I found it interesting that the signs with crosshairs over walker and equating him with Hitler were completely missing.
