Thousands of demonstrators have daily invaded the Capitol, chanting, hooting, banging drums. Hundreds have camped out there and refused to leave so the Capitol building can be cleaned.
Is this democracy in action? Is this what 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green went out to see that Saturday morning in Tucson?

What's with posting excerpts from opinion pieces with no comment from you? What's the point? Don't you have anything to say?

You picked out the excerpts from the opinion piece to post, including the part about the little girl, so, yes, you do have some responsibility.

Stewart agrees we need to get rid of the teachers.

Too bad the RWA's do not see that these Unions are made of US Citizens. IIRC the Wisconsin unions agreed to changes in their pension and health care payments. I guess their reasonable response was seen as a weakness that the union busters used as an excuse for this unwarranted attack.

I would like to see all the private sector union workers picket the State Government until this Governor resigns. Now that would be good for the State and the people of Wisconsin.

RealClearPolitics - Why Scott Walker Must Win
We also must teach our kids that only rich people get to dictate the rules. This isn't a country for all Americans, its just a country for the top 1%.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signs tax cut bill into law | Appleton Post Crescent | postcrescent.com

Tax cuts for corporate America are more important. Thats why Scott Walker must win.

Christina Taylor Green went out because of student council, provided by her school, she went out because she was interested in politics because of her school. Shame on you for using her death for cheap political points.

The Unions have already agreed to those concessions. That was more than a week ago.

You need to catch up,

New York Times? You must be kidding. Skewed sample data can give you any results you want. The media moguls are adept at it, and dispense it to nourish the left.

Try these for a more balanced view:

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/...r-budget-fight

As for Christina, instead of focusing on her tragic story (and yes, she should not have been used by the writer), why not read that entire article?

4:00pm speech. What would be nice is if Gov Walker would layoff Gov Walker. That would solve some problems
