THERE WAS AN EVENT, CALLED AN ELECTION, THAT FLIPPED WISCONSIN POLITICS FROM DEMOCRAT TO GOP. THE PEOPLE SPOKE. THE UNIONS WANT THEIRS DESPITE THE REALITIES OF THE STATE'S FINANCIAL PLIGHT. DEMOCRATIC PARTY SENATORS FLED THE STATE AND REFUSED TO RETURN. THE LEGISLATURE VOTED. THE PARTISAN JUDGE RULED. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS BEING BLOCKED.

"William Cronon, Prof of history, geography and environment at UW-M"

Consider the source. Enough said...

Wow. This is a guy who has no grasp on cause and effect, i.e. reality. I fell sorry for the folks who have literally bought into his fuzzy logic.

If this is the reaction to a simple effort to cut expenses and balance the state budget so that the people can live within their means, then Wisconsin - and, if this should prove to be typical, very possibly the entire nation - is doomed.

This "educator" (ugh) accuses the Wisconsin Senate of "exercising power in abusively non-transparent ways" and uses this premise to excuse and allow for the vile reaction of Democrats to the decision.

Libtards need to look at the reaction of the right when Congress passed Obamacare in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve. Dems did most of their positioning in "abusively non-transparent ways". Did the right burst out in violent reaction, acting like a bunch of two-year olds who find out their playground rules have been changed? NO! We didn't like it, but we know when we've been beaten and we took the legal and logical steps to start reversing the process.

Joe McCarthy was right. Read the Venona files, perfesser.

Right off, he displays the left's penchant for dissembling. This guy is as "centrist" as Pol Pot.

“their aggressiveness, their self-certainty, their seeming indifference to contrary views — that may help explain the extreme partisan reactions they triggered. ...cultivating an image as a sternly uncompromising leader willing to attack anyone who stood in his way. ...appears to be provoking some of the same ire from adversaries and from advocates of good government by acting with a similar contempt for those who disagree with him.”

That’s the best description of Barak Obama I’ve seen all week.

“..(his) conduct has provoked a level of divisiveness and bitter partisan hostility the likes of which have not been seen in this state since at least the Vietnam War. Many citizens are furious at their governor and his party, not only because of profound policy differences, but because these particular (Democrats) have exercised power in abusively nontransparent ways that represent such a radical break from the state’s tradition of open government.’

Again—that’s Obama to a T.

“as a centrist and a lifelong independent “

Bull pucky. This man is no centrist. A fair evaluation of the WI debacle would include at least a mention of the Fleebaggers.

Ignore him, he's a liar.

A centrist professor? Yeah, right!

I thought this article was about Walker, not "We Won" obama.

This man’s grasp of history is as tenuous as his grip on reality.

Does anyone really believe this guy, as a prof at Communist U, is a lifelong independent centrist? LOL.... Probably the democratic communists aren’t far left enough for his tastes.

McCarthy was right.

There were Soviet agents throughout the State Department and other parts of the United States government.

FDR’s Secretary of State, Alger Hiss, who accompanied him to the Yalta Conference with Churchill and Stalin was a Soviet agent.

That’s high level infilitration.

McCarthy has been successfully demonized by the left.

Maybe I’m missing something, but, I seems to me that if Wisconsin was the first state to embrace that long list of progressive crap that the professor referenced, then they would be the first state to realize that it was a huge mistake when they implemented them. Sounds to me like they are just moving back toward the center.
