What I learned from the Battle of the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill
Reporting on Metropolis Blog ^ | March 13, 2011 | Geri Rutzen

From Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,

I learned:

It's not "about the children."

Liberals/Socialists/Marxists/Democrats union members/supporters can trash an historic capitol building without personal or legal consequences.

Lib/Soc/Marx/Democrats union members/supporters can threaten the lives of elected legislators that disagree with them and their families without personal or legal consequences.

Lib/Soc/Marx/Democrat union members/supporters can threaten private business jobs through boycotts and violence when private business owners disagree with them without consequences.

Democrats who flee the state in order to subvert the will of the people are "heroes."

A Republican governor who outsmarts the Lib/Soc/Marx/Democrats is a dictator, like Hitler.

City bus drivers are entitled to $159,000 in salary and overtime per year; teachers are entitled to $100,000 in salary and benefits for working nine months a year; prison guards are entitled to 2 1/2 times their pay for calling in sick then working the following shift; school superintendents are entitled to $200,000 in salary alone for nine months a year; union bosses are entitled to $300,000 to $500,000 in salary a year.

Police don't have to enforce laws if they don't want to.

Public workers are more "special" than private sector workers.

The end really does justify the means.

Rules and laws don't apply to Liberals/Socialists/Marxists/Democrats union members/supporters.

Taxpayers better shut up and pay up.

The voters will have the opportunity to answer these questions in the upcoming elections. So we will see.

Other lessons: As a taxpayer, defend your place in society as a free citizen or you will be made a tax serf. Also, oppose the police union interests and prepare for reprisal.

we’ve all known this for some time, but this is the first time they’ve been so blatant about it.

Add in the following:

The liberal media will never portray liberal out of control protestors accurately, they will give them total cover, and will not be tough on liberal politicians, but will be critical of republicans. Liberal media will not report fairly and will omit certain facts and reporting and use the liberal buzz words “collective bargaining RIGHTS (they aren’t rights)” but will help frame the news to favor liberals rather than republicans.

If this happened and the sides were reversed, the media would talk and allow the dems to scream about how illegal and childish and destroying democracy it would be for republican senators to jsut leave. They would have declared their seats vacant. They would have had the police beating on conservative protestors for far less. Tehy would have made big deals out of mild protesting and had the police clamp down very hard on protestors. The death threats and bullets found on the capitol grounds would have had them physically go after the protestors.

everyone knows this. Conservatives don’t act like democrats when they are the minority. We know this from the last 8 years of being in the minority and not getting anything we have wanted, no ability to stop democrats at all. Nobody left, nobody pulled the crap the liberals did and are going to keep doing.

We need recalls on the 14. Particularly the several that are in swing districts, they are most likely to be able to be replaced.

Still amazed at how many blinded eyes and minds can be bamboozled by the Liberals/Socialists/Marxists/Democrats union members/supporters. Then again Obama got elected so many Americans are simply brain or soul dead. Yet many still remain with real truth guiding them.

“Progressives” (what a funny word!) ARE closer to Chicago mobsters than fascists or communists (if there’s a difference?) ... with better PR! The heart of the totalitarian beats in their chest, and they’re NO friend of freedom, their “plans for prosperity”: steal it from those who produce real things of value! Then call it “fair share”! I would caution, they need to take a moment to remember the first survival rule of ANY parasite: “Don’t kill your host!”

The Turkana and neighboring African tribes are known to bleed their cattle, mix the blood with the milk for a large part their protein requirements. They understand much better than our “Progressive leaders” that in order to keep doing this, THEY MUST KEEP THEIR CATTLE HEALTHY… and not drain so much blood they kill the animal! Also, unlike our current crop of public “servants” they revere and care for their “producers” … instead of heaping contempt upon them! Learn this lesson “Progressives”, your survival depends on it!

Obama rules with a mindless mob. His focus is hate, lies and death. I trust many are waking up to this mobocracy being foisted upon us by the Islamo-Marxist-Chicago Gangster, Obama.

What I learned is that Republicans can actually have a backbone. They outsmarted and outmaneuvered the dems! I am amazed!

You have any confidence in the voters of Wisconsin to continue to fight against unions?

I was down at the Cap yesterday preaching the Gospel to the crowds. At one point a fellow said to me "you sound brainwashed". I said to him "excuse me, but that guy with the megaphone is saying the same thing over and over and this crowd mindlessly chants what he feeds it over and over and over. And you think that I am the brain washed one????

I would add that the MSM has a double standard. But, of coruse, we already knew that.

I had heard they got $ 180,000/year ($ 15,000/month) in base pay.

Maybe it's two different cities in Wisconsin.
