Have no fear my little mobsters, you look better everyday, thanks to the public unions in Wisconsin. For your viewing pleasure a little video from Madison. Those champions of the “middle class” and keepers of the “American Dream” left a few calling cards behind, before disbanding. Consider it a little memento of their principled stance against the man, and yes, it comes with a price tag.

First up … as workers cleaned up the grounds and surveyed the damage, they found some interesting items … live ammo.

Authorities found dozens of rounds of live ammunition outside the state Capitol building in Madison, Wis., where protesters have gathered to rally against the governor’s budget repair bill.

Dane County Sheriff’s deputies discovered 11 rounds near the State Street entrance to the building early Thursday, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

Officials also found 29 rounds near the King Street entrance and one round near the North Hamilton Street entrance.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Chief Susan Riseling said the bullets were 22-caliber long rifle hollow points.

Officers conducted a sweep the grassy areas and bushes outside the Capitol, and Department of Administration lawyer Steven Means asked that the Capitol be cleared for a security check, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

The mess is typical of freeloading socialists. Remember the mess left on the Washington Mall by union and socialist protesters during a rally last fall and the absolute pigsty created by the Obama inauguration? Note that the large Washington TEA party rally with hundreds of thousands participants left the Mall spotless.

“This is the result of not believing on the God of Israel ...”

I certainly agree with you in general about the Left.

However, many (some of my favorite relatives included) actually DO believe. Yet they do not comprehend God’s word correctly and are taught by misguiding preachers that charity can be accomplished by the force of government.

I pray for their comprehension skills.
