We were not shopping. We were showing those who had forgotten it, or forsaken it, that “This is what democracy looks like.” And with good reason we imagined that the President whom we had done so much to elect would “march” with us – for he had promised in 2008 that he would don his walking shoes to do so whenever workers’ rights were threatened. But he did not. And not only did Scott Walker and Company win that battle, but now, just this past week, Walker signed the Right-to-Work bill. Surprisingly, labor historian Fraser makes little of the Wisconsin Rising. He simply notes that it was just another example of the right and conservative rich whittling away at workers’ rights. We, however, will not forget what democracy looks like.
Sarah Palin gives 'em "what for" in Wisconsin.
4 month siege on the Wisconsin state Capitol - and aftermath: 2011 Wisconsin Protests
July 6, 2011 Democrats Unveil the Weapon of the Future "......[snip].....This is an extraordinary series of events, of a type that we haven't witnessed before. Even more singular is the legacy media's insistence on covering the story (with the exception of the siege of Madison, which got the standard "unions unbound" treatment) as if it were commonplace to the point of boredom. It is no such thing; it is an ideological campaign of a magnitude and breadth that we have not seen in quite some time, if ever.
What all this amounts to is the baptism of fire of what I have taken to calling the "liberal superstructure." This superstructure is the vast constellation of advocacy groups, think tanks, single-issue outfits, unions, and various other flotsam constructed by the left over the past half-century or so. There are literally thousands of these groups, ranging from the ACLU and the Sierra Club with their hundreds of thousands of members to the local "Friends of the People's Venezuela" outfit which amounts to a retired feminism professor and her six cats. These organizations are ubiquitous, universal, and networked to a fare-thee- well. They are also liberalism's last great hope of controlling politics in the United States.".......
What the author miserably fails to mention is that the other 5,657,564 Wisconsinites, (2014 estimate), stayed home until election time, than went to the polls and resoundingly gave Scott Walker and his policies victory after victory, giving their opinions where and when it mattered.
I'm glad the idiots demonstrated against Walker, it gave Americans everywhere another opportunity to see what filthy creatures liberals really are.
