Wisconsin.................by DJ Elliott
This is just my short opinion on how to deal with the unions in Wisconsin:
Just a thought: When the teachers took "sick" and then went to protest, they were commiting Fraud.
They lied in order to take a payed day off - criminal Fraud.
Rarely enforced because most do not rub it in the face of the boss and when they do they are fired.
Did the Union "Solicit" this "Organized Fraud".
Solicitation of a crime carries the same penalties as the crime.
The Union leadership solicited how many counts of Fraud?
Under RICO, doesn't that make this "Organized Criminal Activity" and grounds for seizure of assets...
With each and every teacher that participated facing 1 count
and the organizers facing as many Solicitation counts as could be proven.
I would accept the resignations of each and every one of the participating teachers - in return for not criminally procecuting them.
I would ask for warrents to see the Union communication and who specifically Solicited multiple counts of Fraud.
I would freeze their assets pending determination under RICO.
As to the union dues being automatically withheld, paying a kickback to have a job is governed under "extortion".
The investigation would be grounds for the payroll side to stop all such payments or face accessory charges.
The Union and supporters have too many skeletons in the closet.
They and the politicians supporting would fold rather than face legal investigation and potential seisure of assets.
The precident would chill out the fights that are going to occur across this nation and
Any seisures would help the budget...

In all fairness...from Rico
I 'pick' on Benyamin of the FED a LOT, but he is not the ONLY Central Banker to recklessly print money these days.
Look at these charts. Do you see a pattern?
- This is clearly a race to the bottom, with more than just the FED madly 'printing' money...
Hmmmmmm.....and these Central Bankers hate and loathe gold & silver like vampires hate the cross & holy water for WHAT reason?
- Because fiat currencies can be thus 'manipulated' [read: devalued/understand: wealth-value stolen from YOU].
The recent upsurge in silver and gold on not just the COMEX and the NYMEX seems to indicate that many are realizing that there is decreasing utility and 'value' in paper contingent 'promises' when compared to hard commodities.
- "Trust me, I'm from the Government" isn't playing very well these days......

You can't touch this!!...........from Rico
C'mon Ben & Barry!
Grab your parachute pants out of the closet and prance a few 'victory laps' around Jimmy Carter's record while singing "You Can't Touch This" to the M.C. Hammer song!!!!!!
Jimmuh HAS to be green with envy! His four years of 'stagflation' simply cannot 'touch' .....er plumb the depths, actually of what you boys have achieved in only TWO years!!!
Inflation? Nawwwwww....say it ain't SO.
- Cotton is UP in price about 1% for every day into 2011 so far, and it's UP 95% from Sept 2010. Annualized, the YTD increase is 1,512%! Nope, no inflation here. Nobody here except us "progressive" Keynesian chickens!
Here are a few more non-inflationary bits for you to consider:
- Unemployment is close to 25%
- Food stamp use is UP 35%
- Gas is UP 69%
- Corn is UP 98% [huzzah ethanol]
- sugar is up 164%
Even the 'dimwitted-but-well-meaning' Peanut Farmer couldn't do THIS....it took an imbecile Marxist Community Organizer!
The best is yet to come though folks, so stick around for what's just ahead. If you 'liked' Carter, you're just gonna 'LOVE' Barry's next act!

Rep. Michele Bachmann: 'This is Outrageous, Beyond Conscionable'
Jeff Poor has the full report at Daily Caller.
Rep. Bachmann hammers both the derelict Wisconsin public unions and the Obama-Democrat-OFA thugs now raping the democracy:
“They have the support of the White House, but I don’t believe they have the support of the people of Wisconsin,” Bachmann said. “Remember what we’re talking about. These are public servants. They serve the people of Wisconsin. In Greece, for instance, we saw beneficiaries of government checks who took to the streets because the retirement age was going to be raised from 61 to 63. In this instance, [Fox Business Network host] Eric Bolling was on earlier, showing this is simply a contribution being asked to pay for part of their health insurance, not even the full part that the private sector counterparts pay for, and part of their pension. This is something that happens every day in the private sector. So now we are at the tipping point. This debate needed to come. It’s good that it came. What’s shocking is that the White House is weighing in, taking sides, and bringing in a campaign apparatus to set this up.Plus, at Hot Air, "Video: Union activist demands Walker “come to the table” on CNN, but …"

Wisconsin's Revolutionary Trotskyites
These folks are from International Socialist Organization, revolutionary Trotskyites committed to global anti-capitalist struggle. What's fascinating is how the lady speaks about how "all of our members" are up every morning organizing for the dictatorship of the proletariat. That's amazing, since I thought we only had imaginary communists in America:

Nir Rosen, From The Penthouse to The Dog House.............by Dan Friedman
It doesn’t matter what they say as long as they talk about you.
--PR adage
Consider yourself lucky if you never heard of an American “journalist” named Nir Rosen. The thirty-something Rosen had a nice career going. In spite of, or because of, his outspoken far-left hatred for “imperialist” America and a “blight” called Israel, Rosen was sought after, and not one of Rosen’s big time media or academic patrons ever complained - until Rosen crossed a liberal redline and lost his immunity. Seems like his flaming-red bile got out of control and boiled over onto sacred ground a few days ago, and it’s Rosen who’s in hot water now.
Rosen’s mortal sin was a few Twitter tweets making light of the brutal sexual assault and beating CBS war correspondent Lara Logan sustained in Cairo during pro-democracy celebrations. That’s already cost him a prestigious fellowship at NYU and The Atlantic, who as recently as last December used Rosen as an authoritative source, has of late dropped a ton of bricks on his head. Of course, rueful Rosen has already hit the apology circuit trying to redeem himself, but the cat is already out of the bag.
How ironic. How cruel. Years of Marxist-Leninist vitriol make you a literati star but just step over the faux feminist line once and they drop you like a hot potato. Well, that’s show biz.
