Yep, this is a spiritual war for the soul of America, and right now Wisconsin is ground zero. Chuck Peirce(a minster of God) had a prophecy about the ruling spirit of Wisconsin being Intellectualism, we should pray against that strongholds. The strongholds are coming down. The Lord is raising up a standard.

FOX NEWS Frank Luntz reporting now just as I expected. Reporting that “this is just about the stupidist thing they could do”, that Independents are beginning to fall 3 to 1 against the union, AND democrats in numbers are opposed to the use of their dues in this scene in Wisconsin.

We don’t have to shout “Bring it on”, as the dems are destroying Obama by way of the union, right before his own eyes and ours. Implosion coming as they explode Obama.

Be still my beating heart!

From the article:

But, constitutionally, senators also are protected from arrest: “Members of the legislature shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest; nor shall they be subject to any civil process, during the session of the legislature, nor for fifteen days next before the commencement and after the termination of each session.”

I'd like to see someone argue that Democrats who have incited four days of protest and shut down the state's public school system have indeed committed a 'breach of the peace'. Then frog-march these losers right back into the Senate chamber where they belong to take the beating Barack Obama made sure they'd get last year.

today it came out the avg comp plus benefits in Wisc was 100k

The same people who tell us “how much is enough” for purposes of the income tax and the estate tax, somewhere don’t want us telling them “how much is enough”

The “childrens’ ‘education’ and I use that word loosely to describe today’s public schools . .won’t suffer one iota if the comp goes from 100 to 90 .. . or to 80 . . these people won’t give up their jobs for 90 or 80

Screw em

Please clarify what Luntz was referring to as the stupidest thing - the unionists or the Independents.

Can’t the Governor call a State of Emergency. Call in the State guard and arrest everyone that is from out of State. Demand that Teachers and State workers go back to work or face being terminated..

Luntz opined that “this was the stupidest thing the union could do”, saying that among Independents, polls are beginning to swing 3 to 1 against the unions. Luntz repeated a litney of reasons why. That unions are getting far more benefits with no or little contribution, while other Americans taking big hits doing on much fewer benefits with twice the contribution rate. Worse, the union is seen demanding even more.

I hope Hannity or someone will interview Luntz tonight, as I am incoherent at translating, which you may have already observed. :)

They should turn the lights out and turn off the heat in the building.

I have read posts by many people who liken these protests to the recent protests in Egypt. If there is any parallel between demonstrations, I would liken these more to Greece than Egypt. I pray the Governor stands strong.
