What's New in the World of Anarchy (a.k.a. The Occupy Wall Street Movement)?

The Occupy crowd continues to plague the urban streets of America. Occupy Portland's infested with lice, Occupy Eureka in California is defecating on local banks, and even the homeless population of Sacramento wish the Occupy movement would just clear off.

America's Real Bullying Crisis - Liberal Scare Tactics

This week CNN has been hosting a series of specials on "America's Bullying Crisis" addressing the supposed problem of young students and children terrorizing each other in the playgrounds and at schools.  My initial response is to laugh and shake my head, especially when I see the straight-faced Anderson Cooper dishing out ridiculous statistics like: "fifty-six percent of all children are bullies, or victims, or both."  

Surely there must be issues of greater importance in the world than excessive coverage of kids testing the boundaries of social interaction and competition? 

I can think of a few topics that seem slightly more newsworthy, like the failed Iranian terrorist plot, our nation's current unemployment rate, or even how billionaire Warren Buffet's company, Berkshire Hathaway, has compiled around one billion dollars in back taxes over the past decade. 

Yet, the more I think about it, the more bullying might actually be a legitimate topic of conversation -- just not in the way CNN imagines it. Consider Vice President Joe Biden's line of reasoning, for example, during a speech to gain support for Obama's jobs bill on his recent visit to Flint, Michigan this past week (video below):

According to Mr. Biden (emphasis mine)

In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city,” the vice president said. “In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don’t rectify it.

In other words, America, pass this bill or rapes and murders will increase. Flashback to 4th grade recess, anyone? Give me your lunch money, or you'll be sorry! The media would have you believe that this "bullying" problem affects our youth, but they clearly do not understand the full implications of bullying to leave it as a childhood epidemic.

...which is why CNN invites puppets from Sesame Street as experts on addressing the problem. 

Little bullies grow up to be big bullies. Little children who don't get their way stomp their feet, slap classmates, and steal lunch money. Big bullies who don't get their way use fear tactics to scare the population into legislating the change they demand. In the adult world, bullying is known as political scare tactics (a.k.a. argumentum in terrorem or argumentum ad metum) and seems to be the reigning line of reason that liberals are currently using to get their way in the political world.

Pass this jobs bill or rapes and murders will increase.

Pass this environmental regulation or the oceans will rise and drown half our population.

Pass this stimulus package or our economy will blow up.
Pass this health care legislation or grandma will die of influenza.


It's a shame the "Worldwide Leader in News" can't make that connection to America's real bullying crisis.

Liberal Temper Tantrums, with love from Madame Guillotine

Who knew that liberals are attempting to forge their very own modern-day replication of the French Revolution, right here in our own backyard?

We've got Roseanne Barr advocating be-headings of the rich, protesters provoking police with violence, rioters defecating on police vehicles, and even squatters ...er, copulating in broad daylight.

Side Note to the ladies at The View:  

Sorry, Whoopi, once again you've proven your complete ignorance for history by insinuating that these ridiculous, violent, and out-of-control riots are patriotic and American. There is nothing patriotic or American about the Occupy Wall Street group. Ever wonder, Whoopi, why history has come to remember the French Revolution as the "Reign of Terror"?  The violent upheaval of the French populous succeeded in obtaining their "liberty" by throwing the entire country into a state of chaos, fear and panic through violence and, oh, yea -- decapitating offenders.

People have the right in this country to a peaceful demonstration.  These lunatics, however, are once again proving themselves to be nothing more than a sick, angry mass mob.

Liberal Temper Tantrums, With Love from Wisconsin

Here’s another gem of a story coming out of Wisconsin where liberals continue to show their true mass mob tendencies by attempting to create chaos and disorder instead of the peaceful, tolerant, co-existing they project themselves to be. 

While the media jumps at any far-fetched hearsay excuse to peg violence and hate on conservatives, the only thing these liberal protestors in Wisconsin are demonstrating is their continued child-like behavior of stomping their feet, throwing their toys, destroying public property, and literally gluing shut doors until they get their way. (I haven’t read it yet, but this is just one more reason I’m compelled to read Ann Coulter’s new book.  I think she’s on to something!)

Remind me again how these types of actions are “peaceful” and “accepting of change”?

The Cleansing Continues

Last night I had the opportunity to catch up with a friend, Schotzy, about the major political changes that Wisconsin has been undergoing since February, and we couldn't help but shake our heads over the sad realization that the nation has yet to hear about the great things going on there.


Has the media touched on the subject since the unions' collective bargaining hissy fits since February? Not really. After chatting with Schotzy about how excited we were regarding the huge political wins in Wisconsin, we decided that it would be a great refresher to examine where Wisconsin is now, so I got his permission to blog about our conversation, since despite the media's silence, we think it's newsworthy. Maybe the mass media will eventually think so too (and stop swooning about ridiculous "news alerts" highlighting how New York City residents are responding to an earthquake yesterday with its Virginia epicenter).


As a reminder, back in February when Gov. Walker insisted that the state's budget be balanced, the Democrat strategy was:


1)  Stop the legislation from ever becoming law by fleeing the state..

2)  If #1 fails, take over the WI Supreme Court in the Jusitce David Prosser seat up for election and replace him with a far-lefty.

3)  Recall Republican senators and take back the state senate.

4)  Ride that wave to recalling Gov. Scott Walker.

5)  Ride that wave to wins in taking back the state house and holding onto Sen. Herb Kohl's seat in the 2012 election along with delivering the state to Dumbo...er, Oh-Bummer... er, Obama.

Well, how is that going?

1)  Failed.

2)  Failed.  Millions of dollars in Democrat and outside group funding wasted.

3)  Failed.  The Democrats won two seats, but Republicans still control the senate - despite tens of millions of dollars in Democrat and labor funding wasted.  (Total estimate of #2 and #3 is around $75 million from the left.  That's been a nice boost to the Scott Walker economy!)

4)  Momentum halted.  More and more news is coming out about how well the state finances and schools are doing with the new law.  Momentum will only continue to swing to the right.  Plus, the state Democrats depended on the national party for support in the recalls.  I've heard that nationals are reading the tea leaves as not favorable and don't want to waste even more money on it.  They're looking at #5 and really, really, really, REALLY want to hold onto that senate seat.

5)  See #4 above.

Now, what are the results?

On the surface, Democrats are claiming a win because they won two state senate seats.  To put their "win" in perspective though, the two seats they won were from a moderate Republican in a strongly Democrat district (La Crosse) and a Republican currently going through a messy divorce and whose wife was campaigning against him and claiming he was living outside his district with his mistress (he lost by a 51-49 split).  All for $75 million.  

But, what did they lose?  (besides the $75 million)


The top four donors to the Democrat party in WI were:

1)  Teacher's Union

2)  Public Employee Union

3)  Indian casinos

4)  Trial Lawyers

(Note: outside of #1, as I'm posting this, I don't have the exact order of the next three besides the fact that those are the top four.)


The collective bargaining law stripped the public unions from negotiating anything besides pay.  In addition, payroll increases were capped at the rate of inflation.  In other words, the only thing the unions can negotiate is basic pay, which has a reasonable cap. Considering that unions were also stripped of the power to automatically deduct the dues from people's paycheck so now they have to convince their lemmings to fork out the $1,000 on their own, where is the benefit for union members to paying the union $1,000 each year for a basic pay negotiation? 

Answer:  There is no benefit.

As a result, public employee union power is doomed.  They know it.  In addition to the article from JSOnline last week about the teacher's union cutting 40% of it's workforce, check out this article:

"Members of the Teaching Assistants Association representing University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate students voted by an undisclosed margin not to seek a formal election to keep their official status with the state, one of the group's top leaders said. 

The TAA was one of the most active groups during the massive demonstrations against Walker's legislation earlier this year. But co-president Adrienne Pagac said Monday that the law set a very high standard for achieving an election for which the union would have received little official power in return."

This law has cost Democrats two of their top four donors/propagandists/organizers right off the bat.  Done.  Finished.  See ya later.  Drive a stake in their hearts and burn the corpse to make sure they never come back for more blood.


For those of you who listen to Mark Belling on the radio over the internet, you may notice that parts of the above-mentioned analysis were from one of his radio shows, including the Top Four Donors and ideas on the disintegration of the Democrat machine.  He also mentioned that the #3 donor, Indian Casinos, have seen the writing on the wall.  During the recall elections, they gave very little money to help the Dems.  They know who is out of power with a very dismal future.  Chalk up another loss in the Democrats' Fab Four.  Only Big Trial Lawyers are left.

Final Score:

Democrat Gains:  2 weak state senators (but not control of the state senate itself) (for one year)

Democrat Losses:  $75 million and three of their top four top campaign donors and "get-out-the-vote" apparatuses.  (permanent)

Does it still look like the Dems came out the winners?

WI will be swinging from a leans-Democrat state to a leans-Republican state for the foreseeable future.  This is a huge loss for Democrats as they need WI for national elections.

For All The Conservative Ladies Out There...

For too long since the women's rights movement has our society decided that "women's rights" only means the freedom to leave the household and join the workforce as equals. True freedom for women is our right to decide whether to work or stay at home -- or accomplish both.   

Why should women idealize the strength in Hillary Clinton but be shunned for respecting Sarah Palin's pro-life stance? Can anyone opposed to Sarah Palin really explain why they dislike her beyond "she's too pretty"?  Is it because she thinks she can see Russia from her home state of Alaska?  (Never mind that it wasn't Palin who made that ridiculous statement -- it was the writers of SNL personified by Tina Fey.)  What validity is there behind the media's dislike of Michelle Bachmann?  

With all of those blatant biases in mind, it is very refreshing and encouraging to see a positive spin on conservative women in ELLE fashion magazine.
