Death Threats- Part of Leftist Civility

Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch
Violent clashes with police, murders, $millions spent for reconstruction of buildings and cleanup, murder, rape, disease. It's happened with all the "Occupy" protests. Using the criteria of Leftists and the Democrat Party, looking at the sea of faces, I just see white. Must be they're racists. It was said of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party when they legally and nonviolently petitioned the government with grievances by going to town-hall meetings. Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch was part of the recall vote in Wisconsin. Here's some Leftist civility. Ever hear a TEA Party citizen say such things?

Gov Scott Walker vs Democrats Wanting High Unemployment and Debt


Democrats, Unions and the Jurassic Press have been campaigning and spending $millions to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. The recall is in a few days, June 6. For the past few weeks it looks like the Leftists will be defeated. Now the Democrats and the rest are reverse spinning and saying it’s not such a big deal. Right.

Leftists are against anything that works for anybody else but themselves. Their whole gig is to get taxpayer money for spending to keep themselves in power and money. One would think policies eliminating debt, saving money and creating jobs would be a good thing. Not if you’re a Democrat, Leftist, union member.

State employees were paying nothing up to 6% for their health care premiums. Total compensation for a Wisconsin employee last year was $71,000. Employees in the Milwaukee Public School District had $101,091 compensation. All the protests in the Capitol Building, the death threats against Walker and his family, Leftists going to the homes of Republican legislators and all the rest was because they raised a little bit the amount government employees had to pay for their own health care premiums and pensions. He required them to contribute to their own health insurance 12.6% and their own pensions 5%.   

Some of the savings went to this horrible project; the Brown Deer school district is now able to build a new school, 68% of the cost of the $22 million coming from the savings generated by Walker’s policies. Democrats are against new schools.

Medicaid is supposed to be financed by States. Because of his policies, funding for it increased by $1.2 billion. By the way, no taxes were increased to do this. Democrats think the only solution to anything is to raise taxes, rather than find a way to solve a problem. Looks like Democrats are against financing Medicaid.

Wisconsin’s unemployment rate has dropped to 6.8%. Part of that was very helpful keeping teachers employed. They were facing massive layoffs. Paying for all the goodies like pensions and health couldn’t be afforded for so many teachers. Democrat's response was to fire a bunch of them. Walker’s policies kept teachers employed. There are some school districts that did not implement Walker’s policy of increased health and pension payments. They had to lay off a lot of teachers. Democrats are against employed teachers.

Democrats campaigning against him, most notably Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett have no plan to balance the budget, cut costs, fund Medicare, or pay for anything except by raising taxes. What they’ve done for two years instead is investigate Walker for criminal charges from his county-executive days. They netted some people from that office that engaged in some crimes, but nothing on Walker. By the way, Mayor Barrett benefitted from Walker’s policies. The city is doing better financially than it has in years. They have a balanced budget and $10 million surplus. Democrats are against balanced budgets and government $urplus.

Massive demonstrations costing the State $millions for clean up and repair, personal attacks, comparisons of Walker to Hitler and other murderous dictators, protests at the homes of Republicans, vile insults, Democrats fleeing the State so they wouldn’t have to vote on Walker’s proposed policies, and they only thing they offer is to go back to public employees not paying for their benefits and higher taxes. Democrats hate solutions that work.

Dems Still Causing Political and Economic Mayhem in Wisconsin

Gov Scott Walker

The recall of Gov Scott Walker of Wisconsin has become something of a mess. The national unions and the Democrat Party pulled together a massive national effort to recall Gov Walker because he’s done what he said during the campaign he was going to do. You know, something stupid and irresponsible like paying down the state’s debt and increasing employment.

Where the mess comes in, and I’m not talking about the mess these Leftist goons did destroying millions of dollars of property during their protests and breaking a lot of laws they didn’t get punished for, but the election mess. Wisconsin has a lot of elections coming up. There’s a primary May 1st, and a general election on May 29th. Then there’s the presidential primary April 3rd. The state election board has given two dates for the recall vote, which besides Gov Walker includes five Republicans, May 15 and June 12. Republicans, to reduce costs (these things cost lost of money) want to roll the recall votes into one.

The national Leftist political machine wants two different recall dates. Leftist Attorney Jeremy Levinson: "That seems totally unreasonable and unnecessary and it would change the character of the election." Since Leftists are irresponsible about money (because they only use other people’s money) they see this as a political ploy by Republicans. All those elections and two recall votes are a bit much, in terms of both fiscal and time costs. I know Leftists don’t understand people that actually have to go to work, but this could seriously cut into citizens’ day.

 Wisconsin Democrat hard at work protesting 
When Walker ran for governor, he said he would curtail the collective bargaining power of government employees unions, which he did. If you’ll remember, this was the whole source of the“occupy” mess (literal mess with $millions of property damage and garbage resulting), and yet one of the Leftists planning to run against Walker, Kathleen Falk, said Walker was dishonest because he didn’t talk about curtailing state employee unions’ bargaining power. Problem is there were several articles in the Sentinel during the campaign about his saying just that.

All this stupid stuff from the Democrats, supported by the national Democrat Party, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, national unions, of Democrat state legislators fleeng the state to avoid voting, occupied and filled the capitol building with filth and garbage causing $millions in damage, lots of arrests, some violence, tried to get a judge recalled and failed, then created this election mess. All the Republicans did was campaign, win office and implement what they said they were going to do. No violence, no property damage, no political cowardice.

Of course the Democrats are upset. The state debt is going down, employment is going up, and kids are getting educated. The horror!

All this could be avoided if we went back to states being states, and not wards of the federal government and all the other interventions into states by national entities. My view is there should be no money from outside sources into the politics of a state. Local politicians and the state political party should only get money locally. States have personalities, are the reflection of the people that live there. That gets corrupted when big, usually East coast money, gets pumped in. Unions should do not belong in the public sector. If one works for the government, that’s working for the citizens, and what they can afford. The pay and benefits even without unions are usually higher than the public sector, and if they don’t like it, they can go work in the private sector and join a union there.
