Scott Walker is rolling back the socialist worker’s paradise. No wonder they hate him.

I’d like to see him do this on a national scale.

I am not anti-union. Unions are a means of peaceful assembly and are protected under the 1st amendment of the Constitution .... as long as participation is voluntary.

Likewise, doing business with the individual or the union is an assembly for the purpose of doing business. It to should be voluntary. If a business wants to work with the union, fine. If not, the business should not be forced to work with the union.

The same protection that you as a consumer enjoys to be able to engage, or not engage, with any business should apply equally to all.

One narrative I haven’t seen yet is the one that calls Walker a quitter for not finishing college. Smearing someone for not having a college degree is not a good look, but labeling someone a quitter is less offensive to the unwashed masses.

The Left sounds the alarm: Why Scott Walker is different ".....In other words, he lacks all of the major flaws that kept McCain’s foes from capitalizing on his vulnerability in 2008 and that kept Romney’s from doing the same in 2012. More than that, Walker brings to the race a story that both Republican purists and pragmatists can get excited about – a governor who pulled his swing state sharply to the right without sacrificing his electability. More than any Republican who opposed Romney or McCain, Walker has the potential to occupy that sweet spot where the party base and establishment meet.

Bush will have an enormous war chest, and the significance of that can’t be overstated. For as long as he’s a candidate, Walker figures to be playing catch-up on this front. But Bush’s poll numbers indicate that the GOP faithful are just as eager for an alternative as they were with Romney four years ago. Romney caught a break because all of those alternatives ended up being spectacularly unviable. Bush may not be so lucky."

A Harvard grad, no matter how Conservative is not so likely to be effective with his conservatism. A Harvard grad would want to Take A Position and have study groups and will delay implementation of stuff until the communist opposition can get properly organized and block or blunt it all. The College quitter was avoiding wasting time at college when he had other things to do. Quitting college recommends him to some of us.

Here’s the last line, the very last line, in the NYTimes article describing the 2,000 protesters in Madison yesterday:

“About two hours into the debate on Wednesday afternoon, protesters inside the Capitol had dwindled to several dozen.”
