Wisconsin's governor: Protest end of labor contracts, I'm dragging out the Guard

This story is complicated and has a few different layers, but first impression is that this guy is using it as a scare tactic.

EDIT: OK, un-American.

 

Sounds like the same asshole who thinks he's king of Ohio instead of governor.

 

Elections have consequences.

 

Yes. Yes they do.

TSP, he prefers Emperor to King.

 

I will insult him by calling him king.

 

Oh TSP, Walker is such a friggin' idiot. Let me count the ways.

 

I know. I was about to write a long post about his sorry college-dropout ass and the shit he's pulled already, but I just didn't have the mental energy. Ugh.

 

Here's an example of the fine job he did as Milwaukee County Exec:

Maybe you could make an economic and civic case for why collective bargaining rights should be eliminated. But bringing out the National Guard? Who the fuck is this guy, Mubarak?

 

Actually, for the first, oh, 175 years of this country's existence, it was considered quite American.

If I'm the unions, I tell the governor to go ahead. What's he going to do, order the Guard to open fire?

We should learn a thing or two from the Egpytians. It will help when the shit hits the fan with these fascists.
