Disgusting, reprehensible, blatantly unconstitutional, and anti-American.

The perpetrators of these offenses should ALL be in prison.

Well, it’s the Left’s ground game when they lose.

Scott Walker and Wisconsin conservatives (and people around the country that supported their efforts) pushed through reforms in a state that progressives believed was theirs.

This process has been their punishment.

We must continue to push - make sure what these people have gone through, and are still enduring at the hands of a politically motivated, weaponized judiciary, isn’t in vain.

The Democrats retaliated against the supporters of Scott Walker who I supported with $$$ because he was right on unions. How disgusting.

Emotional victimhood issue here to do what?

Push us all into supporting a candidate for president named Walker who has been described as “acceptable to the Establishment”.

The liberal media and Nixon fought a war in the 1970’s and I didn’t like the liberal media for going after Nixon but I didn’t end up being a Nixon admirer.

Walker has to prove on key issues like Common Core, Obamacare, Amnesty and religious freedom where he is.

I think Ted Cruz has a better set of views on those issues rights now if you ask me.

Crazy stuff, but not unexpected. There are so many laws today that can be used to persecute/prosecute unfavored groups or people. Raising your head up can definitely make you a target.

This is perhaps the main reason why I’m so opposed to the homosexual movement. It’s not about tolerance. It’s about using the full weight of government to punish anyone who dares stand for so-called “traditional” morality.

Governments have essentially bottomless resources to persecute innocent citizens. Dare stand up? Prepare for OSHA inspections, IRS audits, EPA assessments, etc. As the article notes, they don’t even need to prove guilt. The prosecution is often more than enough punishment by itself.

The question is: what are we capable of doing about it?

the leftists were so bold...why...did they know Wisconsin’s GOP were to squish to fight back???

This makes me almost admire leftists. They are willing to destroy their enemies while the GOP are too squish to launch such an attack toward leftists!

I’m not every excited about H1B visas.

But I’m watching the British elections right now with Nigel Farage of UKIP wanting to secure his country’s borders and keep immigrants out.

Farage has said he’s willing to let non-British citizens in to work if British citizens aren’t there to do the work.

UKIP wants an Australian style points system which allows people in if their skills are needed.

One area where Australia is looking for foreign workers is submarine crew. Their preference is for English speaking countries like Britain, Canada and the US.

Australia’s navy is expanding its fleet of submarines to defend against China.

I’m not going to get angry with Cruz over this. I will keep watching the scene as I am with all these candidates looking for anything that stands out.

Poorly written laws become tools of harassment and oppression.

The John Doe investigation is a bit "unique." Learn more about it before you cast aspersions on people who had to live through this.

Well, this looks like Scott Walker’s moment of truth. Is he going to do something about the fascist John Chisholm, or not?

This sort of behavior by officials is only about two degrees away from tossing your political opponents into the gas ovens. Guilty without charges, without trial, without the right to even protest.

You just “disappear” your opponents. And there are always plenty of willing jackboots available for the midnight raids. Probably most are members of SEUI so it’s all good in their book. Damn them all to Hell.
