From Egypt to Austin, we're all for Wisconsin

 

 

Attention all you "Woodchucks". Are you interested where the "Non-Woodchucks" get their marching orders from? A little back ground on "The People's World" newspaper below. Any of this look and sound familiar? Mary reads this to Lea at night-night time with a warm glass of milk, all cozy in her hammer and sickle flannel jammies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the People's World

The People's World / Mundo Popular is a national, grassroots newspaper and the direct descendant of the Daily Worker. Published by Long View Publishing Co., the PW reports on and analyzes the pressing issues and struggles of the day: for workers' rights, peace, equality, social and economic justice, democracy, civil liberties, women's rights, protection of the environment, and more.

 

The PW is known for its partisan coverage. We take sides - for truth and justice. We are partisan to the working class, racially and nationally oppressed peoples, women, youth, seniors, international solidarity, Marxism and socialism. We enjoy a special relationship with the Communist Party USA, founded in 1919, and publish its news and views.

 

Since the first issue of the Daily Worker came off the press in 1924, our press has been in the battles of the U.S. working class and people's movements. From the battles of the unemployed and the campaigns to organize the CIO, through the civil rights and peace movements of the 1960s and '70s to the struggles that have given us the "new" labor movement, to the people's upsurge that elected our first African American president, and now the growing movement for a progressive, people's agenda - we've been there.

 

The PW is part of the independent and free press tradition, and now the growing netroots movement, in the U.S. We are funded exclusively by our readers - no corporate money. With a small staff and a network of volunteers, we are proud to put out what many call "the best labor newspaper in the country."

All those absent teachers need to be fired. Then they can demonstrate all they want.

 

It's not unprecedented....

 

 

Reagan was no stranger to bold and difficult decisions, and Gov. Walker said he was prepared to follow in the former president's footsteps for as long as he served in office.

 

In 1981, about six months after taking office, Reagan defined the tenor of his administration with his own bold decision to fire more than 11,000 air traffic controllers who ignored the president’s orders to return to work. Reagan emerged victorious, his presidency emboldened by the conflict.

 

The stakes were high for Reagan then—he risked an enormous public backlash by disrupting commercial air travel—and they're high for Gov. Walker now. In many ways, Wisconsin will be the prototype for other deficit-laden states whose leaders attempt to balance their budgets.

I also remember President Reagan telling the UPS drivers to go to work and they were a private company back then. President Obama would never...and he probably doesn't even have that kind of gravitas amongst his own constituency.

The Ruskies are coming! The Ruskies are coming!

 

Apparently our resident marxist-zoophile didn't get the memo. Socialism/Communism failed in the Soviet Union with help from Ronald Reagan (wink).I'm sure you and your rodent husband make a fine couple. Which hole did you honeymoon in?

 

 

 

Facts are stubborn things.

Ronald Reagan

Reagan had regrets almost immediately for what he did. Democrats don't have an ounce of regret for murdering 55+ million unborn babies.

As Americans, we’re often taught that trusts and monopolies are the product of big business and are bad. However, if trusts and monopolies are bad when Big Business engages in monopolistic ways, why isn’t it bad when Big Labor engages in the same sort of behaviors that are condemned when committed by Big Business?

 

For over a week now, the nation has watched tens of thousands march in protest to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s budget plan. Democrat lawmakers (aka Fleebaggers) have fled the state in order to avoid doing their duty, while Obama’s OFA has bussed in the astroturf from out of state. While the union meme has been that Walker’s plan is “union-busting,” perhaps a more apt description would be “trust-busting.”

One of the most vocal opponents of Scott Walker’s budget plan has been the Wisconsin Education Association Council [WEAC]. As a union affiliated with the NEA, WEAC (according to its website) represents 98,000 “educators” in the State of Wisconsin.

Like any union, WEAC has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo when it comes to forced dues from Wisconsin school teachers, as well as automatic dues deduction from teachers’ paychecks—both of which would be eliminated under Walker’s proposal.

True. They want to murder children in the womb. The second their born they need to be showered with socialist programs until the Obama death panels decides its to expensive for them to live.
