Democrats are already "blaming" Republicans for attempting to "shut down" the Federal Government--when, of course, any government shutdown will be at least as much the responsibility of Democrats for refusing to really CTU spending (cut means cut--not a "cut" in PROJECTED spending in the future).
Meanwhile, TEACHERS in Madison, Wisconsin actually have "shut down" part of the government (the schools), without being elected to any office and for SELFISH reasons. The reactiion of the mainstream media to THIS shutdown, and to the "hate speech" in the protesting crowd of public employees, again shows that the people of the mainstream media are the worst hypocrites to ever walk the Earth, on tow legs are four. If a member of the Wisconsin government gets shot, will the mainstream media and leftist Democrats blame the HATE for government being spread by the pubic employee unions? Don't hold your breath.
You know how the mainstream media and leftist Democrats have treated Tea Party "protest" rallies. They have labeled the Tea Party people as "angry" people spreading hate against government and government people--a very different vview of protest than that shown toward the angry protestors in Egypt--where there WAS VIOILENCE (police stations burned, for one thing)--no real violence ever taking place at a Tea Party rally. Chris Matthews even said--I HEARD him--that at least the protestors in Egypt did not show up ARMED (something, by the way, that Christ Matthews has no way of knowing), like the Tea Party protestors. For the hypocrites in the mainstream media, and in the rest of the left, the non-violent Tea Party protestors were, and are, a greater danger to the world than anyone else--including al-Qaida. These (mainstream media) are spreaders of EVIL, as I have shown repeatedly. But that is not even the main trigger for this article.
I sa thw spokesman for the Wisconsin public employee unions--especially the teachers--on Fox News. He was challenged about the way public employee unions LIE--usuallly because a STRIKE against the public is ILLEGAL--in an effort to evade the law (the Fox hosts asking what kind of example that was for children). Enough teachers had called in "sick" to SHUT DOWN the Madison schools in a direct assault on Democcratic, representative democracy. This also meant that the public was PARYING FOR the teachers to protest with taxpayer funds. To compound the problem, Fox showed where the teachers had gotten THEIR students (some of them, anyway) to show up and protest, even though interviews with some of the students showed that they had no idea of why they were there--no idea of what th eissues weere. For the students, it was merely a lark as they got out of school and showed up to "support" their teachers. This USE of children is truly despicable and deliberate, as Racheel "Baby Doc" Maddow whowed by featuring it on her MSNBC program as an example of how even the CHILDREN knew how the Republicans now in control of the state government were against them and their teachers (gogwash--as this was deliberately a CYNICAL USE OF CHILDREN AS POLITICAL PAWNS). The point is that the spokesman was asked about all of this, and guess what he answered?
I could never make this up. I heard him. He said that these protests, and presumably the assertion of public employee unions that they ave a "right" to STRIKE, was an issue of FREEDOM. But he did not stop there. He cited--I kid you not--the BOSTON TEA PARTY as an example of the right of people to protest in the name of freedom and against oppression--even if it means violating the law.
Yes, the teachers' unions in Wisconsin, and maybe all of the public employee unions, are TEA BAGGERS. And this was said with a straight face, as if it did not PROVE that both the mainstream media and these leftist public employee unions are the worst hypocrites who have ever walked the Earth, on two legs or four.
Now you might wonder whether Fox News is being hypocritical by treating Tea Party people more favorably than public employee protestors. Fox News is perfectly capable of hypocrisy, and there is surely a political element in the way they view public employee unions, but it is difficult to allege hypocrisy in this paricular case. These are PUBLIC EMPLOYEES show are asserting the RIGHT to shut down any part of the government they wish by means of a STRIKE (whether it is legal or not). Fox was not saying that public employees could not hold a political rally to oppose what the politicians in Madison are doing. But taxpayers were PAYING the public employees to shut down their schools and protest--threatening to continue to disrupt a government service, or probably government services.
You can argue whether government employees should have the right to strike or not--even though you are on the losing side if you believe that public employees should have the right to shut down government services (like snow plowing in New York City) as a WEAPON to get their way. That aside, you simply cannot argue that this is the SAME as the right of PUBLIC PROTEST (such as the Tea Party rallies), or even the same as a strike against a PRIVATE COMPANY> The issues are DIFFERENT.
However, you will note that the lefitist Democrat speaking for the teachers made an "argument" that DID apply directly to Tea Party rallies--much more directly than it applied to rallies by public employees shutting down a part of the government. He did not even seem to realize that he was SUPPORTING Tea Party rallies much more than he was supporting public employee protests shutting down--and threatening to shut down--part of the government as blackmail to get what they want, while getting paid with taxpayer funds to be out protesting. Needless to say, the hypocrites in the mainstream media do not seem to get this point either. Even the Fox News host did not note the IRONY of this particular misuese of the Boston Tea Party (not, of course, conductged by either public employees OR employees of the tea company). This is almost the exact opposite of "taxation without representation", as the teachers are protesting against the government just democratically elected in an election where the teachers fought on the other side and LOST.
Q.E.D. Leftist Democrats, including the mainstream media and public employee unions, are the worst hypocrites to ever walk the Earth, on two legs or four.
Whenever you see a public employee strike, or threatened strike, you need to realize that the public employuees are trying to SHUT DOWN a part of the government as UNDEMOCRATIC BLACKMAIL. Nope. Strikes by public employoees should be illegal. But I can'T get over the irony--seeminly unconscious irony--of the public employee spokesman in Wisconsin adopting the TEA BAGGER philosophy as that of the public employee unions.
P.S. Note, as usual, that the above has neither been proofread nor spell checked (because of my bad eyesight), so long as this note remains. You will also note today's story of the murder of an AMERICAN ICE agent in northern Mexico. Once again, I will suggest you read this week's earlier articles in this blog on the situation in Mexico, and realize that this blog was YEARS ahead of the curve in telling you about the deteriorating situation in Mexico--foresight being my specialty. .
