The whole world’s eye is on the disaster in Japan. Nobody givea a damn about these fool union whiners.

I am willing to bet that there is free beer and food at the rally to make sure all those radical 19 year olds from the university show up. It’s never too early to learn the “what’s in it for me” union philosophy.

Sounds like a fine spray from some firehoses would make the day even less appealing.

It’s that Me Me Me mentality that really keeps people from sympathising with them. Once the craziness dies down and they have a chance to really see how they have behaved and what it is they are fighting for I think some of them will be ashamed. They can’t all be bad, they are just caught up in this and are being prodded on by those rounding up the herd.

(Wow, I guess I just proved your point)

LOL,please don't ask me to go back, once is enough. How about Cliff notes? They are mostly mad at the Media. Can't figure out why they can't cover Japan AND their protests. They feel the media will cover a middle east revolution but not the “revolution” happening in their own country.

With diesel fuel so expensive, this little tractorcade is going to hurt their wallets.

These protesters have burned up a lot of money traveling, eating, walking away from work(the few that have jobs).

O.K, O.K., There is only so much a person can take! I’ll just trust that it is as self centered and ignorant of the really important things happening as I can possibly imagine. Am I close?

It will really hit the fan when the Dem/Commie Sec. of State refuses to sign the paperwork to put the law in to force. Soros has a guy in there. The Gov. is going to have to start selectively laying off some of the top communists.

I think the “teachers” need to enroll at the University of Arizona to attend the National Center for Civil Discourse class.

Walker should announce heaver bills to come further restricting Unions. That would really give the RATS something to think about.

Legally, the Sec of State only has 10 days. If he does not sign and publish before that, we will be breaking the law.

By the way, tractors usually do not have plates and if they on on the highway around the capitol, ticket them.

Many of the Wisconsin farmers are the offspring of German immigrants that came to the Midwest in the late 1800's and early 1900's to farm the land.

A good portion of their heirs still retain the socialist ideology and voting patterns of their European predecessors.

For example, my grandfather immigrated from Naumburg in the late 1800's and settled in a Chicago suburb, a baker by trade. He and my great-uncle plus a goodly portion of the old-country German, Austrian, Bavarian and Alsatian immigrants populating their suburb voted every four years for the perennial socialist presidential candidate, Norman Thomas.

A socialist vote made sense for grandpa and these politically-ignorant folks of the era because of the bad conditions they had just left over the sea and which prompted them to leave in the first place.

Today there's no excuse for these Wisconsin farming descendents to continue supporting socialists and their union kin, but they still do....if not for the memory of Norman Thomas, but for the memory of their gods, FDR, JFK and LBJ.

Grandpa DID wise up, owned a well-known and prosperous bakery for 40 years, and voted Republican till the day he went to apple strudel heaven.

Anyway, this will at least in part explain the presence of a lot of the farmers and tractors that will be in the socialist highway cavalcade today.

They should be welcomed with a ticker-tape taser parade, and each given a bouquet of tear gas.

Look out for the tractors. Chances are these guys never have been near one in their lives, much less driven a rented one!
