[snip of his many, many, many academic degrees]
In 2007 Professor Schultz was a Fulbright Scholar teaching election law at the American University in Yerevan, Armenia, and in 2009 he was a Fulbright Scholar at Corvinus University in Budapest, Hungary. David has also taught and lectured in Russia (Moscow State University), Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland.
In 2008 Professor Schultz was asked by the United States State Department to serve as an independent scholar to cover the Republican National Convention in St. Paul and meet with the foreign press and media reporting on it. He was also sent during the fall, 2008, to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland to meet with reporters, students, and the public to discuss the American elections.
David is editor in chief for JPAE, The Journal of Public Affairs Education [EPA linked] , and he sits on the editoral (sic) boards of The Journal of Public Integrity and Social Sciences Studies. [Also EPA LINKED]
In addition to teaching, Professor Schultz was president of Common Cause Minnesota from 1994-1999, served as their lobbyist, and twice as the interim executive director. He has served as vice-president of the Minnesota and Texas chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union, and he has also been on the board of directors for numerous non-profit organizations. Previously he served on the National Civic League's model cities charter revision committee (helping to write the new 8th edition of the Model Cities Charter), the Urban Coalition Board of Directors, and the Ramsey County Home Rule Charter Commission (2000 - 2004).
Prior to teaching, David was a city administrator and director of code enforcement in New York State, where he enforced city and state housing codes as well as authored housing codes. He also was a housing and economic planner and a community organizer for a community action agency.
Wow, what projection! If he changed names, it would be a litany of wrongs committed by the regime.
Maybe people have finally wised up and rejected Liberalism.
That narrative works because Democrat policies fail, and it is easy to point to example after example of their failure. OTOH, where do you point to say that Democrat policies succeed? The only place I can think of is Maryland (the state with the highest median income), but MD is a special case. It's where many of the government workers live, so is insulated from the consequences of liberal policies.
Community Organizing.....
Leftist professor lives in imaginary world where up is down and all good things come from his God, Big Government.
Yes, there are definite uber-liberal areas like Madison. But for the most part most Wisconsinites are the same. The majority of citizens agree on many social issues.
But many men will vote for Dems because of union issues and many Dem females vote that way because of abortion "rights." But the state is not Madison. Even many residents of Madison are not radical leftists. It's just that the latter seem to have the loudest voice much of the time.
Such a realignment will happen when the entrenched powers become thuggish in their turf protection racket. In this case the crooks of the public unions and the social activists who read their own press releases and believed in their divinity.
When a warrior shows up, there will be a battlefield....
Don’t waste time reading this except to be reminded of how the enemy sees the world.
According to this socialist, Wisconsin’s ills flow mostly from the government not spending enough money: money on welfare, money on schools, money on job training, money for this money for that; each a favored program of the socialists. It never dawns on them that things would probably be worse if the government actually had funded their favored programs.

“Wisconsin now produces the likes of union-busting Gov. Scott Walker, and a GOP-controlled legislature enacting voter ID, onerous abortion regulations, and anti-union right-to-work rules.”
The author seems to imply this is a bad thing. I see it as advancements for the cause of working folks, the unborn and law-abiding voters. So.... who exactly is being “injured” here?
More on Abrahamson here:
Dislodge her only as chief justice.
Prior to Walker, the special interests of the public unions were supported by Democrats (and Democrat politicians were supported financially by the union dues) and Republicans did not stop the incestuous relationship. Republicans also continued high spending and high taxation in Wisconsin.
Democrats are unwilling to compromise and want to dominate at all costs, especially by using courts to delay and not allow us to solve problems. Republicans would often cave and go along.
Scott Walker is the best leader Wisconsin has seen in a long time because he wants to solve problems and will stand up against the Democrats and special interests.
Don't listen to the idiot university types that pontificate the liberal agenda, but don't know how to fix problems.
Wisconsin stands with Scott Walker.
FTA: “...Walker...offered simple solutions for why things have gone wrong: Lazy welfare recipients, unions, gays, college students, intellectuals, Democrats, and government.”
What a bunch of garbage! Walker has never said any of that baloney. Salon is having a fit of fancy.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
“Wisconsin has a nativist culture, born of homogeneous white northern European immigration patterns, that is still fearful of outsiders, suspicious of change.”
Oh, Thank Gawd! I was afraid that this Salon article would never get around to blaming Whitey!

“David was a city administrator and director of code enforcement in New York State, where he enforced city and state housing codes as well as authored housing codes. He also was a housing and economic planner and a community organizer for a community action agency. “
In other words, David was a fascist pig illegally writing laws. This jackass needs to be thrown on a boat sailing one-way to North Korea.

Its sad that our State Department feels that it needs to appoint a very partisan operative to explain a Republican political event to foreigners. Your tax dollars at work… for Democrats.
As far as Republicans gutting University of Wisconsin system spending…. if that were true, how did the UW system amass a one Billion dollar slush fund?
Unabridged liberalism is the greatest conservative recruiting tool.
