less peaceably? Sounds like a threat to me. Too bad they didn’t get more specific. They did write a lot of threatening emails. If anybody (an elected republican) gets hurt someone in the government will have fingers pointing at them for failing to “connect the dots”.

...and say they would like to stay when the building closes for the night.

Yeah right. We just saw how you filthy unemployables act when you are left into public buildings for prolonged periods. Why don't you hippie losers head back to your home in the abandoned Volare under the bridge.

Thanks Libloather.
The protest was being led by Democrat Lance Enderle, who ran for Congress against Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers and says he'll run again in 2012.
Sounds like he's running right now. I saw some jackoffs picketing near downtown during my drive home tonight. A couple of signs said, "Phony Budget Problems Caused by Tax Cuts". Obviously the picketers were gov't-paid goldbrickers.

These communists need to be exposed for what they are....and it is an abomination to how they have indoctrinated and programmed their students. Unbelievable....Lenin and his pal, Pavlov, would be so pleased, as would those cultural Marxists, like Marcuse and Ayers, who would like to see child/man orgies....would be so proud of the results of their godless, reasonless, curricula.

Destroy the DOE and burn the textbooks and give local control to all schools. Destroy the communist plants on school boards and have each town their own boards who have to be parents or grandparents.

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.


Baby beluga, baby beluga,
Is the water warm? Is your mama home,
With you so happy?


Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.
See the water squirting out of your spout.


Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends.
We like to hear you.

They can threaten to be less peaceful because their comrades in the police department won’t arrest them. What a lousy job all these “public servants” are doing in WI!

Looks like momentum ran dead on into a brick wall here in Michigan of all places.

Tennessee had protestors that had to be carried out today, too. Our lietenant governor on the matter:

“The right of all citizens to protest and assemble peacefully is sacred in the State of Tennessee. However, this General Assembly will not be intimidated by nomadic bands of professional agitators on spring break bent on disruption. We talk through our differences here. Tennessee is not Wisconsin.”

This is the man who should have been our govenror.

Idaho passed a very similar bill to Wisconsin’s and the one that will likely pass in Tennessee with very little fanfare. The momentum is building.

Hang tough, Michigan. Learn from Wisconsin’s mistakes and don’ let the cockroaches inside in the first place. They breed like crazy once they get inside.

Its just kinda funny that the unions are claiming the momentum is on their side and they could only draw 40 protesters in Lansing.

Not only is Lansing a union town, its a college town too.

We’ve already gone beyond Wisconsin in some respects. A week or so back we freed some 16 to 20 thousand forced union members from the plantation.

The difference here is that Rick Snyder isn’t taking the unions on directly. He’s poisoning the well through administrative channels and budget cuts.

Our stinkin’ government is at war with us. We better wake up and take preventive measures.
