Well, I wouldn't want to see a collapse, but I was thinking the same thing about those balconies caving in under the weight of the union sardines jampacked there.

If the Rev-rund Al Sharpton walked in and the mob all started stamping at once, he'd be the Rev-rund Flatton in a New York minute.

Where the heck is the fire inspector? Is he on "sick leave", too?

And who do you suppose they will be rioting against? Shop owners, people with homes (cars in the driveway), business people (whichever ones remain solvent) on their way to work. I mean, they’ll be looking for food, water, money, means, right? Won’t find that in the tenement down the block.

It will be the Rodney King riots quadrupled.

It's like Cairo has moved to Madison these days.

I think it's more like the riots in Greece.

It is good that there is so much “raw footage.” It will document the presence of the obviously healthy teachers who called in sick that day. Good grounds for dismissal.

I looked at the screen last night and saw the folks in Wisconsin and couldn’t help but think that Obama had reached the acme of his profession: rabble-rouser. This is all he can do. This is all he’s ever been any good at: stirring up trouble on the streets, step back and derive power from the menacing mob as he goes in behind the doors to wrest concessions from the intimidated.

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi sempre insaniae proximi sit Alculin c.735-804: Works(1863)letter 164

And to those ends...how is this rabble rousing... representative democracy?

To become competitive, Ohio must become a ‘Right to Work’ State.

That’s because they they know they could be fired for any reason and at any moment. One of the drawbacks in ‘right to work’ and ‘at will’ employment.

Yes, when people don't have and can't buy food, we'll see some real riots.

Stock up and arm yourself.

If the unions in Wisconsin won't negotiate start firing. I'm sure there are plenty of people that have been looking for jobs for a long time that would be happy to take those jobs with the benefits Scott Walker is offering.

Exactly... Today people think you have to have 20 kids or less in a classroom. Back in the day, I grew up with 40 kids in a class, learned how to read and write, and went on to college.

Whoa!. I am 62. Just retiring from the Merchant Marine. I am going to go out like I came in. Having Fun. Don’t trust the Federals. You need to work at the State and local level. If we can get 34 states to have a con-con we can wipe them out. No change will come from Washington DC and the Republicans up there. Just lip service. They hope to turn the Tea Party in to their version of Black America. Never believe anything you see on TV.

I submitted a very negative, reactionary, apocalyptic post previously and I want to say here and now I HOPE I’M WRONG!. In fact, I hope that, after all is said and done, after we figure out a way to manage ourselves through this, that we see a new birth of freedom in our country.

That being said, it will take the right people [horses] a good deal of time to straighten out the mess. We have a lot of work to do to reclaim our country.

I remember the 60's race riots, but that was just the ghetto inhabitants burning their own communities to the ground; never to rebound.

I remember the anti-war fervor and violence, but that short circuited with the US departure from Vietnam.

I find it hard to envision, or should I say realize things would have to get much worse than we have ever witnessed or they are now to incite upheaval. If that ever occurs, look out because you will see them tar & feathering our elected thieves or worse. Nobody wants to see Americans killing Americans by the tens of thousands across our Country and all the vigilantism that would ensue. If it ever starts, govt will not be able to stop it until so much damage has been wrought, our Country could effectively cease to exist.

I hope as Americans, we are above that scenario. As sensible Americans, everybody should be prepared for all possibilities.

The best comparison is that these teacher union and govt. employee unionists are the Mubarak goons in the early days of Egyptian revolts.

Goons protecting their personal interests and they will violate children to do it.

“And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness”

(Had to look it up—Very good!)

The “mob” has rallyed around their “prophet” and determined that by their “gathering” they can usher in the new day of the [false] messiah. And Obama uses this to his political advantage.

Paul wrote in 1st Corinthians ICo 2:9-16:

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

For those who know God, the Spirit is given so that one can distinguish the false prophet from the true. Were America a truly Christian nation, she would discern the voice of the Charlatan in Chief and from whence it comes.

Sadly, though...

People who have compensation packages of $100,000.00 rioting, will cause others to riot, only if the Governor and legislature of the great state of Wisconsin loses to them.

I was a school teacher for many years. I don’t consider those people who abandoned their students to be teachers. Teachers teach. These people are merely government workers.
