Obama WANTS Wisconsin Mess
The American Spectator ^ | February 18, 2011 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 02/18/2011 12:05:43 AM PST by RobinMasters

Over at NRO, Jay Nordlinger makes an incredibly good point: Barack Obama should be urging calm in Wisconsin, no matter WHAT side of the underlying issue he is on. It is not just unpresidential of him, but despicable, for him in effect to be urging on the mass demonstrations.

But as J. Christian Adams, Justice Department whistle-blower extraordinaire, reminded me in an email accompanying this post of his, these are not only the tactics always favored by the left in general, but specifically the sorts of tactics Obama himself was trained in -- AND exactly what I myself warned about (as Christian reminded me) in my very first post-presidential election column in 2008.

Wisconsin is a lost cause. If I ever can, I am moving west to a state like Wyoming or Utah.

“Wisconsin is a lost cause.”

I guess you and I have been watching different news. How can you say WI is a lost cause? Sure...they are getting pushback from the unions, but the unions aren’t in the majority, though they are doing their dead level best to create that perception.* They’ve done that for years, but this time is different...the American people are aware of their tactics.

I’ve been watching your governor and legislature give a stellar performance! Please...don’t underestimate them

They were given a mandate by the people of WI, and I am very proud of all of them.

*perception = deception in ACORN/WWP/community organizing speak.

Obama is desperate to change the subject.

I suspect the noose is growing tighter and he has to start riots in the U.S. now rather than later.

Last I've heard is that the brouhaha in Wisconsin is being fomented by the SEIU and the supposedly defunct ACORN operating under another name, JJ.

Wisconsin....hmmmm ....no one really thinks about the goings on there. Why not NYC or NY state or NJ?

Or are they next?

Obama wants Wisconsin --> It figures! Like all Dems, he creates a problem in order to solve a problem.

Egypt, Wisconsin, Ohio, etc. --> I believe Obama is up to his eyeballs in it.

Reaction to the Gifford's shooting was ALL Obama too until it was proven that Loughner is a card-carrying commie liberal.

Wish the people who have been sworn to protect America and its people would step up to the plate and investigate this maggot in the White House.

Right wing militia? That’s a myth. But we do see the reality of a left wing militia in these protests in WI and at Boehner’s home in DC as well as elsewhere.

Better face the facts, the left has an organized militia composed of many different brigades disguised as unions, associations, pacs, and special interest groups among others.

And it has all been organized right out in the open for all to see.

Huh? You don’t really think that after we defeat Obama that the Genie will just go back in the bottle and we all can go back to playing nicely again, do you?

This isn’t about one man, and no, these people are not just going to go away. The organizations that are using the teachers and other union members to foment these demonstrations are all about protecting the power that they have already and to take any additional leverage they can get to remain in control. They have been doing this very thing for nearly 100 years and doing it pretty damn well judging by results. Who do you think has more experience here, us or them?

This isn’t about teacher’s health insurance, it’s about power. The voters of WI made a pretty clear statement in November about the direction that they wanted their state to take. You don’t think that these thugs are going to allow a little thing like an election to stand in their way do you?

Obama is only important to their cause as a tool to be used for what benefit he can provide then he too will be consumed by the “mobs”.

Government vs. the People. Break them. The Greedy Government apparatus can only be stopped by de-funding it. It is going to be interesting. The Press and the Big Government have a big surprise coming when they find out the people are not willing to fund extravagant government perks while they go broke.

That sounds good, count me in. I do need to know how to keep my money out of the hands of Government though, so as to prevent them from seizing it.

Government provides one, and only one function in any form of society, force.
First and foremost, Government’s only function, provide force where required in order for compliance to be achieved.

You and I may talk about what we will do and what we will not do when required by our Government. We have no power to thwart the force that will directed against us should we run afoul of it’s wishes. That is unless we are talking about armed insurrection. Is anyone really ready for that?

Before this is all over, Obama will be screeching at his parasitical supporters to “go and take what is yours”.

Stock up on anti-riot medication now.

The worse things look for “The One” in 2012, the more likely it is that he will instigate nation wide, violent riots, and then position himself as the only person who can stop them.

Don’t let him make you sick. Relax; let your blood pressure have a rest. - One day, he’ll be gone, and if you don’t take care of yourself, you’ll still be sick. He’ll still be eating ice cream, enjoying the perks of being a former President, and you’ll be sick.

Since day one of his failed presidency nobama has been nobama. That is, he is purposefully trying to destabilize America. nobama is a marxist/socialist community organizer who is so self-loathing that he attempts to bring everything down to his loser level. nobama is one sick puppy...sick.

The unions may have many locals but no way near the non-union folks. They are a small band of economy killers. Right thinking Americans have a 10 to 1 advantage. Right now they have the loudest mouth. However there time is coming like a train wreck.

Obama has made a fool of himself world wide and the unions are following in his perp-walk. As they say, give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. Future elections will be won by anti-union candidates. So liberals out, next in line unions.

IMO, it has some effect, but there’s also Egypt, Libya, Jordan and Yemen all going critical.

I’m with you, I was so proud of that lone tea partier in Illinios who confronted the WI senators. And the people down at the WI capitol showing their support for the Governor. With people like that, we won’t have a Cairo.

The unions and the dems are finally really showing the people just what they are, and it isn’t pretty. I think they have finally pushed the envelope.

Remember: please don't assume that what is going on in Madison is typical of or is happening all over WI.

Madison is the state capital, and as such, draws an unrepresentative crowd of libs over the issue of killing off the thug unions.

Madison does not represent the state!

IE: do you hear of any "gatherings of cowards" in La Crosse, GreenBay, Appleton, Eau Claire, Superior???? Of course not.

Believe me when I tell all of you....the great majority of voters in WI are behind Walker 100% and believe the dem/lib/prog/pop elected officials who ran away are displaying the cowardice we've long known they possessed as one of their basic personality traits.

To whit: when the going gets tough, when the battle is going against you, when the road leads steeply upward, when all seems lost... RUN AWAY AND HIDE!!!.

It is a very good thing none of them are in the military...else we'd be in the same state as is France.
