Wisconsin: A Lesson of Democracy in Action - Page 5

Part of: There, I Said It!

So much so for the justification and defense of the events in Wisconsin based upon this phony and fallacious argument of civil disobedience. Again, what transpired in Madison was not an exercise nor lesson in “democracy in action” but rather it was again, a stark object lesson in mob rule, chaos and anarchy, narrow, vested, special interest demands at the expense of the taxpayer; and the ugly intimidation and shouting down of anyone in opposition to them, which latter tactic is thoroughly redolent and indicative of pure intellectual and brutish, strong-armed fascism.

Not a pretty picture, this tableau portrayed by those union thugs and liberal-progressive activists and professional agitators - because it was more akin to fascism than it was to true democracy and or bonafide and legitimate civil disobedience.

America, if this is the true face of unionism and liberal-progressivism in America today, then there is much for us to fear for our nation, for ourselves and for our very republic and its very foundation of the rule of law and of our democratic institutions and our very Constitution itself.

May that my words be exaggerated and that this not come to pass. But as the Gipper once said, “trust...but verify.” And likewise, be skeptical if you must, but still be vigilant and wary — just in case.

    There's nothing in all the world quite as smug, self absorbed and puerile as a modern American left winger.

    Dear Arch Conservative,

    Thanks for your kind and extremely accurate comment. And may I add a hearty (expletive-deleted) right-on, (and an even more obscene, vulgar and crude expletive-deleted) right-on too.

    And the above comments are a wonderful example of the right-wing echo chamber wherein they tell each other what they want to hear without ever feeling the need for a reality check....

    What reality reality check?

    Actually good ole comrade Glenn, methinks you are guilty of what the psychobabblers call "projection". I think you ought to perhaps be more introspective and reflective and look into your own soul before casting and smearing your own kettle's grime upon someone else's so-called, supposed blackened pot.

    Harrumph, f..k..g harrumph, LOL and have a nice f..k..g day. Made of course with all the sincerity humanly imaginable and possible. Wait, a minute, let me take that back.

    Dear comrade Glenn,

    I know it's actually asking a lot of you, but do you have any comment whatsoever or critical analysis of any of the theses posited in my article? Such as your liberal-progressive lefty "democracy in action"; or as to the true nature and philosophic requirements of "civil dlsobedience"; or to that which illuminates the reality and actuality of liberal-progressive pinko-lefty, real and actual fascistic thuggery as in liberal-progressive mob rule and intellectual lawlessness, otherwise known as union and liberal-progressive "thugocracy"?

    You know as so clearly indicative and illustrative and representative of all your friends, supporters and allies. Do you possibly think you could either substantively or thoughtfully comment on any of that? Cause I'd really like to know your (worthless) point of view (if I already didn't know it by heart, since it is so gaddamn typical and predictable anyway!).

    But nevertheless, have a nice f..k..g day. And I sincerely and honestly mean that.
