Thousands of Union Protesters Storm WI State Capitol; Target Homes of GOP Lawmakers
Fox News ^ | Feb 17, 2011

Posted on 02/17/2011 7:56:36 AM PST by Lazamataz

Behind closed doors, Scott Walker, the Republican who has been governor for about six weeks, calmly described his intent to forge ahead with the plans that had set off the uprising: He wants to require public workers to pay more for their health insurance and pensions, effectively cutting the take-home pay of many by around 7 percent.

...

Scott Fitzgerald, the Republican leader in the State Senate, slipped out of the Capitol Wednesday morning with his sunglasses on, head down. Protesters had gone to his home earlier in the week, forcing his family (including his wife, a school guidance counselor) to go elsewhere for a bit.

I really do think that conservatives are too conditioned to behave civilly, do unto others, be fair, give the second chance, be helpful, ask questions first, and never even dream of actually firing a shot, such that no way would we ever actually DO something about any of this. Big talk from some, but when push comes to shove, conservatives are so non-disposed to violence that we would lose physical confrontations, no matter how well-armed we are. We are not trained for street-fighting. The left is.

“The masses have no sympathy for these public union leeches.”

I agree - the more publicity the better.

I don’t think the “Redcoats” of old sent to many 7 to 14 year olds into battle against the Colonial Army, and the few 15 to 17 year olds were Drummer boys who were usually held back with the reserves when the main line advanced.

Muslims are notorious for sending Janisaries or child Jihaddists, frequently captured from previous conquests of Christian or Jewish societies, in first to demoralize their victims.
Iran sent waves of kids across mine fields in advance of their troops when they invaded Iraq.

I am confident that if things turn violent, our own children from government indoctrination mills will be used as human shields.
We can see them already setting up for it.
Then when the children die, guess who will get blamed for the carnage and framed as “terrorists” by the Obambots and the media?

Leftists are very adept at advancing their tactical goals while feeding their propaganda machine at the same time.

Why, why are parents allowing their kids to march???

I know why the Link card mammas would allow it...all they do is birth em’ for the public aid they receive, and they have no interest in providing for them, ‘cause it's the school's job to feed them three squares a day, and it's we the tax payer's job to pay for it. That I know. But, what about the rest of these “parents” who would allow their kids to be used in this manner? Do we have that many lefty parents in Wisconsin or what?

Check out Hoffman’s act on YouTube. Notice the $200 shiny new North Face coat she is wearing.

Why break any laws? Just go Gault, but announce it ahead of time. Such as If we don't get real representation, list our grievances- cut spending, prove obama eligibility, protect the borders and deport illegals, kill obamacare, etc, by such and such a date we will begin a slowdown of paid work and a drop in resultant taxes (sales, income, gas, etc)

Businesses start taking holidays once a week or once a month=once a year to begin with. Income will drop but so will expenses-Sure its inconvenient and will cost some income, but better than penalties or jail or violent revolution. Kinda like WWII rationing. Tough Love. Declare a National Tea-Party Day get businesses to close. Those that don't without good cause can be boycotted. Dont shop or go to those that remain open on the "close days" (except for emergencies).

People can use that day to go visit their reps!

Peaceful lawful civil resistance, remind the governors their power comes from those they are supposed to govern and can be taken away.

Re #244: Alas; (*sigh*); I have to agree.

We hear a lot of bluster and machismo from our side, how “They’ll never get MY guns!” etc...

I wonder if we’ll see them make good on their braggadocio when they’re looking down the business end of the main gun on an M-1 Abrams (not to mention the .50 turret mount) or hear the fully loaded Blackhawk or F-16 circling overhead.

No doubt some of us will put up a fight - but realistically it will probably end up being little more that a valiant and tragic last stand.

When faced with the choice between death and slavery, I know what I prefer now; but will I actually have the courage to make that fatal choice when the time comes?
To be honest with you - I really don’t know.

How many of us here honestly do?

I waffle back and forth between wanting to help break the system so we can get busy rebuilding something old like a constitutional republic and saving the system.

Starve a cold feed a fever or something.

Here is my comment on it:

That's a real nice and shiny North Face jacket, Kim. Don't those run about $200? Wish I could afford one, but I'm just a private sector schlub paying for you and your husband's extravagant lifestyle and pensions. I can't afford to put money into my own retirement right now, but hell, you seem like a nice lady, and I'm sure you're just doing it all for the children. I do thank you for your service in the military, though

Human shields? That’s lower than low.

This is how unions operate.
