Wisconsin, the Middle East of America?

Not sure. How far is Wisconsin from Dearborn, MI?

Let's see whether the union LEOs (ULEOS) start firing on the citizenry just like in Libya. Oh, wait. It's different. The ULEOs are demonstrating.

Only in America.

[ex-snook]

Maybe. But wait until someone organizes a march on Washington for jobs.

Seen any bread lines in Wisconsin?

Seems more like Greece to me. Just try to take away their benefits. Can’t afford them? Tough. Have to fire 8,000 government workers to save their 100% paid retirement and health benefits? Too bad, so sad. I’ve always said it’s a very thin veneer that separates the well bred from the rabble. Scratch the surface and you’ll find the only difference is one does it behind closed doors — the other is in your face with a pitchfork and club in front of the nightly news.

the big difference: the protesters in Madison want to keep the status quo

Sorry dude, it’s much, much colder here than in the Middle East . . . . . ;)

What a bunch of nonsense the teachers here in Wisconsin are paid more then many of their counter parts in neighboring states like Minnesota. The people were hungry in the middle east I can assure you there are plenty of places here that provide food. There is no comparison and it is insulting that people try to drum one up. Wisconsin’s $10,791 per-pupil spending in its public schools was more than the $10,353 that neighboring Illinois spent; or the $10,048 that neighboring Minnesota spent; or the $9,520 that neighand Iowa spent.

A much more accurate comparison might be a Prison Riot.

The inmates think they are in charge, but it’s only temporary and built on a foundation of broken laws and riotous noise.

I believe the unions are now going to lose FAR MORE than they initially set out to protect.

When these misfits begin to sort through their large piles of regrets, they should pause, reflect and take the time to thank their leader, Obama.

Let the layoff’s begin......
