Democrats never learn from experience - they already know it all.
I was worried that voter fraud might come into play here, and I’m not saying that it didn’t. But, if it did, it was held to a minimum and I hope that will also be the case in November. I’m pretty well convinced that many Democrat victories in the past have occurred as a result of voter fraud.
Good article - thanks for the post.
The liberals, their unions, their President, their media -- all have to be defeated because there is no working with them.
Why compromise, when you can WIN?
Walker and WI voters have saved America. Took courage to withstand the union communist coup.
The local "newspaper" here had the story about Governor Walker's victory buried in disappearingly small print at the bottom of their "Politics" section this morning.
Since they're unofficially a propaganda organ for the Dems, I consider it confirmation of how deeply this victory damages them and how aware they are of it.
I think another big loser are those who argue that Walker stayed in office because Wisconsin voters do not like to recall elected officials—except for officials guilty of malfeasance.
This excuse was invented late in the game when the Democrats knew they were going to lose and this was their face-saver.
Continuing the golf metaphor: Aw, poor babies, did they step on the First Crank in their golf shoes?
Public Service doesn't mean you're to be serviced by the public for life
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
When collective bargaining was brought into American schools in the 1960s, it was a revenue stream and power base for Big Labor. Suddenly, union bosses became more interested in building political muscle than educating children.
At that point the battle between unions and school boards became more focused on salary, benefits, pensions and working conditions for adults, and less about students.
Kids are only pawns in the self-serving union game.
What is the purpose of teacher unions? To work for children? Establish new and better requirements? Push their members to better serve parents and children?
"Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees" ...National Education Association's just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the County and State Association's parent body).
NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:
As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

I've wondered from time to time on just how the appellation "big" labor got associated with the labor unions and after Wisconsin I think I've figured it out.
"Big labor" is the MSM's means of helping union leaders deal with either their 'inadequacy' issues or their 'little big man' issues.
Either way, this loss must be damaging to their psyche. Union people have some real issues that need to be addressed and acting as enablers by giving them cute names isn't doing them any favors.
Drudge has video up of one of Barrett’s supporters walking over and slapping him across the face because he conceded!
Hand on to your hats, this crowd is in the process of becoming totally unhinged.
Democrats never learn from experience - they already know it all.
Nice analysis.
That late visit from BJ Clinton sealed the deal.
He’s not quite the guaranteed “kiss of death” that Baraq is, but good enough in this case.
God bless America.
God bless Wisconsin.
