So where is all the huffing about the angry white people, brandishing hateful, threatening signs and swarming around the Wisconsin Capitol?

Oh. They’re Liberals. So it’s all right.

See why liberalism is dying, and why Humanist-indoctrinated teachers unions are going to be busted?

They are showing the difference between petulant public servants, demanding more money, and Tea Party Patriots, demanding a return to responsibility and Constitutional limits.

Dinosaur media is having trouble coming up with a narrative that puts the teachers unions and fraudulant doctors in a positive light.

Watching liberalism die. What fun!

>Meanwhile in our own city, entire schools of teachers are fired without regard to individual performance and no one really gives a crap.
Agreed, except that I think there are more who give a crap than is recognized – I personally would love to contribute to a recall election

Those public employees pay little for their own retirement and nothing for their HMO. (if I am wrong on those figures then I will stand corrected)
Az Stae employees pay 7% during their working life and pay for their own HMO. When they retire their HMO payments go up 10 times. I know I am one of those people.

I agree, but it’s not the Democrats that are pushing us there. By the way, a Missouri Republican wants to loosen the restrictions on child labor.

In fact, the police have commended them on their exemplary behavior. No one can manage a crowd like a teacher.

Who is calling these Wisconsin protesters “angry mobs”? FOX? I have listened to 3 days of reporting from the protest on the Ed Schultz Radio Show, and no one has referred to them as angry mobs.

On the New York Times online front page this afternoon, there are 8 stories about protests in Yemen, Lybia, Iraq, Iran and/or Bahrain + a video from Bahrain. There is one story (below all of these) on Wisconsin and nothing about the protest in Ohio. I rest my case.
