'Democracy Died Tonight'

Bullshit. They didn't like the way the original election went down so they abused the recall process. Now after this recall election, they still don't like the outcome so "democracy" must be dead. It doesn't occur to these self-centered assholes that maybe, juuuust maybe people are tired of parasites like them and want their liberty back; hence the "process" worked as designed. The losers are just that, two time losers.

Weeping Anti-Walker Protester: ‘Democracy Died Tonight’

Geez, I hope so.
We're supposed to be a Republic not a democracy.

"Walker took away our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to collective bargaining!"

So how come federal workers don't have that "right?" Even FDR thought that was too crazy....

Mr. Weepy needs to be located and publically humiliated.

I don't care if you have to upturn every square foot of Wisconsin to find him, but FIND him. He absolutely must be made into America's newest Internet celeb-'tard.

The Leftist media leads these folks astray so effectively. Getting spoon fed on campuses by their professors, and Democrat leaders in public, it’s actually surprising more people don’t wind up wigged out like this.

We have got to get our universities back on the right track.

If you want federal funds, get your staff somewhere near political party or else.

It's right next to the ‘right to marry’ amendment that forces states to issue marriage licenses to LGBTs.

They still get CB for wages.

MSNBC tells them that it's a right and the word ‘right’ was poll tested to resonate with voters.
Problem is much time went by and some WI voters actually figured out that the government worker's benefits comes out of their own (taxpayers) hide’s after MSNBC claiming that they were all in the same boat being denied those 'rights'.

Meanwhile, in the WI High Schools:

The latest evidence comes from Milwaukee Teachers Education Association President Bob Peterson, who boasted this week about his union's efforts to sway voters, including high school students, to recall Walker in today's election....Specifically, Peterson bragged about a district-wide program to put flyers of union propaganda in the backpacks of students. He also claimed credit for the union's effort to physically drive parents and students to the polls to vote.

As Dems keep whining about how much money was donated to Walker, why don't GOP talkers mention this kind of power Walker was fighting aganst?

I agree. One sign that Walker is politically astute is that he exempted police and firefighters. If he had not done that, the odds of one of the goons' subsequent campaigns (senate recall, Prosser election, Walker recall) would have been higher.

Haha, I have been waiting for this video to be posted on FR all day! Thanks for posting it.

On a serious note, this idiot wouldn’t know what America really is. What he wants is to be able to legally steal property for the people that earn it. He is to damn lazy to go earn it himself and now he is weeping over having to care for himself.

The NEA has accomplished exactly what Marx envisioned.

” You and I both know there are enough RINOS in the Senate to approve two or three more liberal activist judges to SCOTUS. After all the GOP-e allowed Kagan and the wise Latino Sotomeyor to be seated. They could have filibustered their nominations but instead were scared to death of the media and their reelection. “

They finally figured it out.

Unions have virtually worn out their useful existence in the USA

My uncle has a basic HS education and no real marketable skills. He's a custodian who belongs to a Union. For him, and people like him, I can see why they join.

I also worked for a company where the hourly people were all unionized. I don't know all of the details (wasn't a member) but my understanding was that they had no real negotiating power with the company - they were "collectivized" more for benefits than anything else. In general, the arrangement worked to both the company's favor AND the union's.

So - there are places where unions make some sense, or at least I can see why people belong to them.

In general, though, they're useless remnants of a system designed to resolve issues that disappeared decades ago.

Traditional management can’t coordinate something like that?

Count me skeptical. Such management might include cleaning ladies (and gentlemen) who made it good. They wouldn’t have to be ignoramuses.

Or maybe you are talking about something like a contract house?

A real union wouldn’t allow much, if any, competition.

I gotta tell ya, I only worked with them peripherally, so I don't have all of the particulars.

But a large percentage of the people worked unusual hours. The company required a lot of "ramping up" and "ramping down" of their employee base - for instance during their busy time the facility would be working three shifts, all out, for a month or two. Then within a matter of a week or so, the facility would be back down to basic 8-5 operations, or even just a skeleton crew over the holidays.

So, all of these "part-time" (I guess you could call them that) employees joined a "union" and paid dues into it. The union maintained benefits for all of the people on a year-round basis, regardless of whether the employees were on a full time, part time, or "no time" status. And that eliminated a headache for the company as well, and maintained a solid base of workers locally.

I probably don't have all of the specifics, but it made sense to me when one of the managers I was working with explained it.
