The freak show has begun!
This says a lot about the “value” some liberal systas and brothas have don´t you think?
No more middle ground mush as America’s battlelines are drawn. One is either a commie, Union bannered big Gov socialist or a patriot, free republic, smaller government conservative.
35 degrees and very windy - I hope they freeze their asses off. No fake doctors notes this weekend!
No record crowd, and the cold weather will chase the weak away before long. I was at the Tea Party counter rally acouple weeks ago and the crowd was enormous 1/3 patriots and 2/3rds unionistas
It's getting off to a real pathetic start with some union skank-ette exhorting the crowd to join her pathetic voice in singing "Solidarity Forever" to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
She even had home-made lyrics about tractors. She made a brave try but the crowd didn't know the lyrics so they just shouted "HEY" when she cued them.
So far, it sounds like the opening of a mass rally by the Workers of the World in Red Square.
An ode to tractors, indeed!

Wish I could watch. I have huges net, which stinks. I’m limited to 225mb a day :(
What’s with all of this “Farmers” stuff?
When did Farmers become public union members draining tax dollars?
Next up ‘THE RAGING GRANNIES’? WTF!
Raging Grannies singing their version of Old McDonaldhas a Farm....You can’t make this stuff up folks, lol
Compare and contrast the Tea Party Events with this selfish freak show. TP events concern the runaway federal and state spending affecting all the people. These Unionista sob-a-thons are all about preserving their so-called rights to take more $$ and the budget crisis be damned.
Sign: "Walker and Fitzgerald - You Confuse Bullying With Leadership".
Shrill-voiced union pro babe-ette takes the mike "Governor Walker destroying Wisconsin's farms, communities, families".
Speakers heavy on the word "community" from whence springs "communism", "communal", "communard", "community organizer". They must be saving "Democracy" for later.
Chants of "Farmers and Labor Unite - Same Fight".

They needed to get some reinforcements because the college kids are on spring break
How many of these “family farmers” calling for “solidarity” pay union wages and benefits to their farm hands?
What are they protesting for, more government subsidies at our expense?
It sounds as though the public servants have got themselves all wee wee’d up. The “mean-spirited” taxpayers want to keep THEIR money for themselves and not “spread it around” to the union knuckledraggers.
Bob Dylan this dude on now isn’t.
Who next, Arlo Guthrie?
It’s beginning to look more like a pitiful and cheap imitation of Woodstock.
Some guy with a guitar, a black beard and a bolshevik hat now leading a folky type group singing a tuneless, toneless protest song with unintelligible lyrics for the listless crowd. Are they bad!

Gee! I was thinking the same thing.
There are these “wana-be” 60s-type band members singing, “Hard Times” over and over.
Geeze! Everyone should have it as “hard” as teachers.
When have you ever met a teacher that had a pager because the were on 24 hour call and never got a vacation?
As you drive down any freeway and pass the businesses along the way, think about the work being done in these businesses. They are hot, cold, wet, dark, literally back crunching, and done on high structures, or deep in the ground. Many of these jobs are dangerous. Some require years and years of specialized training, and literally some of the people who depend on these workers would be unable to take their next breath without their services.
And...I am sick of the “chiiildren” whine, as well. Why are teachers special?
The lives of children literally depend on waste collectors and water treatment guys, too.
Someone needs to tell this whiner that unions are corporations.
susan sarandon shows up to act like one of the little people...she is also a union member you know
