Pour gas on the fire?
Are you kidding?
If nothing happens tomorrow, you have only begun to witness a fire that will spread across the country.
The Dems are using the same tactics in Indiana and now in Ohio.
The hammer needs to come down. This kid gloves approach is asinine and will only invite further chaos.
The Governor was duly elected and is in charge. The Dems don’t like it? They can stay in Illinois.
And any Capitol cop that disobeys a direct order from the Governor can find new employment. End of story.
Restore order. The first function of a civil society.
This is like watching college sit-ins in 1968-70. It was disgusting then and it still is.
The unions have ad their say—now they need to clear out. They aren’t the only citizens of Wisconsin.
I agree. But where has order broken down to the point of bringing the Natl. Guard? What do you want the Gov. to do. He basically cleared the freeloaders out of the capitol building. Arresting the filth protesters standing around in the cold will do nothing but make them martyrs. Wait till the Tea Party shows up in a Rat state and see how fast the handcuffs come out. That will open the gates for anybody being arrested for anything. The gas has not been thrown on the fire yet. You want to see fire, wait and see what Holder and the Justice Dept do when WI fires cops and moves in the Natl. Guard. It will be shades of Ohio State.
The crowd is not just Union thugs. If you look closely, it if full of ISO, Communist Party, Code Pink types itching for force to be brought against them. Until people start heading to the hospital, Walker does not have the justification for the Natl. Guard. The public will not want a force like that running a city.
I understand your frustration with this mob running nuts in Madison and other Capitols. I just don't see what Walker can do at this point other than stay the course. Steve Hayes from the Weakly Substandard said this evening that about 9 Rat Senators are all ready to pack up the tents and head back to get the inevitable over with. Polls still back Walker and he is making this an issue of national importance. Did anyone think that we would be able to get rid of collective bargaining and it would spread to multiple states prior to this episode? Not all is even near lost to start panicking with dire predictions of a 1960's style insurrection.
This is exactly what happened with Iran and Carter in 79. He didnt apply necessary force from the get go. If they see that the Marines will SHOOT anyone attacking the embassy, they will think twice. And that was our problem back then with Carter.
