There is absolutely nothing "pro-american' about unions.
When will people wake up?
Pro America--- LOL liberals being pro America is a complete joke.

I also agree with you on the balance budget.

The MAJORITY of us want a balanced budget and that means the states also and if Walker was ELECTED to do so then he needs to get it done.

Doesnt it bother anyone that the Unions are helping the anti-American radical left bankrupt this country?

The angry mob thugs who are destroying public property and assembling unlawfully in WI needs to be stopped.

Walker needs to get his lawyer working on making sure each and every one of these groups are following the laws of assembly and protest and arrest those who are not following the law.

He needs to get control of these thugs.

Pro America and radical liberals do not go hand in hand.

You think your education system lags behind the world now...Just wait till the teachers are denigrated to second class citizens.
Considering these anti-teacher threads, education is not a thing to strive towards for some - don't you know that it's "elitist" ~ Those people are unable to make the correlation between lack of education and lack of expertise. Lack of expertise in an increasingly computerized and competitive world equals lack of jobs. It's just not that hard to understand.

"Most teachers are overweight all the way to obese and that is why American is getting so fat." Mind-boggling.

We're not talking tea party thugs that would likely trash the place.

Nice try.

This was only AFTER the word got out that these thugs were trashing the place.

You see Tea Party members trashing Government property, using spray paint to destroy memorials and of course many of the feebaggers have been caught using the bathroom on Government property.

From most of the photos they look like a bunch of trash and slobs.

Funny you posted this picture. What the hell have they been doing that they would need to get down on their knees to clean up?

It's really shocking the amount of stupidity in america. It seems like those on the right are proud of their 5th grade intelligence levels and think everyone should be just as dumb as they are.

Well, when a large group of people gather in limited spaces, oftentimes bits of paper are dropped, pens & pencils get left behind, some may even forget their sweater or jacket or coffee cup....seeing as how it's winter, they may've not wiped the snow off of their shoes well enough and left behind bits of mud and other debris.

Perhaps those people who got down on their knees to clean up didn't own industrial floor cleaners. They're very expensive. Or they may've even had pride in their state capitol and wanted it to be as clean as it was before they were peacefully (although loudly) protesting in this state building.

I can see how all of this would seem suspicious to you - even a conspiracy of some sort! - since you're probably not used to people cleaning up after themselves in political rallies. Another possibility is that perhaps these are just a group of very neat people.

Name another industry that has more overweight people. Oh wait, you can't, that's why you didn't rebuttal.



With all the crap they STILL feed the students and the taking away of choice at lunch, schools should really start implementing weight controls on who they hire instead of setting bad examples. I believe that more than 28% of teachers drink at least one cola product a day in front of their class.
