What we are witnessing in Wisconsin and Ohio is a classic divide and conquer strategy by very powerful wealthy interests who wish to destroy our country’s unions and advance corporatism. These interests have convinced certain groups of people that public employees created the severe fiscal problems underlying many states budgets and that those workers should not only receive reduced pay and pay more into their pension retirement fund, but also lose their collective bargaining rights in the process.

No, turning American against Americans is the goal of Obama, his puppeteer George Soros, and Communist big labor leader Richard Trumpka. They are the ones constantly beating the drum of class warfare. The public employees unions are sucking the taxpayers in municipalities dry with their bloated pensions.

Koch Brothers ? You think this is all the fault of some capitalists ?

Everytime I see that "See Something, Say Something" poster in my local college elevator I think about how "they" are pitting us against each other.

United we stand but DIVIDED WE FALL.

They have to make it about something other than what it really is.
The story of a selfish union and it's entitled membership bending over the taxpayers doesn't play too well on main street.

I think it's all the fault of many cronyists, and they aren't in elected office. They're the financiers of strife corrupting government. Ergo Koch bros Murdoch et al. If they had any plan that was decent to present America they would have done so by now. They are pitting Americans against Americans and laughing all the way to the bank.

Response to fear mongering- I like this one... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MuWNJtJ8XS...thing_full.jpg
I think we stand a better chance having Americans being aware of their surroundings than expecting others to be our watchdogs at all times all places. Do I think Americans know what to look for regarding suspicious activity? Not many. How to solve that?

I don't think they actually want us looking for suspicious activity.
It's to instill fear and distrust for the person standing next to you.

Was the Kool-Aid that you ingested cheery or grape flavored? Personally, I've aways thought the stuff rather revolting.

I will safey assume that you did not read the link which clearly and concisely explains what is behind Walker's union busting. He's merely a lacky for the Koch brothers and their agenda. I've come to realize that the right wing base is indeed in favor of an Oligarchy as opposed to to true Democracy, so why don't you just come out and say it!

Is Koch behind all the other states as well that have union issues up for votes ?

Clearly you refuse to admit that Richard Trumpka is stirring the pot of bottom-up revolution throughout this country and with unions in the Middle East. Why does Richard Trumpka have such a direct line to this POTUS with calls to him every day?

The agenda of Soros is clear and he has plenty of useful idiots banging the drums of revolution.
