An update from Donna V. (yes, our Sainted Blogmom) who reports on public reactions in deeply blue Wisconsin to the temper tantrum thrown by slacker “teachers” and their unions.
Really, if pro-union protesters can’t attract a bunch of cheering, honking libtard supporters in libtard Shorewood of all places, you know Walker’s winning this one.
Quite. Perhaps the hardworking people of Shorewood (you know, the ones who actually work and do so all year long) aren’t overly impressed with having to miss work or scramble for sitters because “teachers” decided that it would be perfectly OK for them to abandon their positions, calling in “sick”, so they could mill around in the streets screaming, howling and waving “Walker=Hitler” signs about.
Because, you know, having to pay 14% of your own health care benefits is exactly like the Holocaust!
Something tells us that future PTA meetings in Wisconsin are going to be a lot of fun.
Idiots.
Thatisall.
Most of the Anti-Walker crowd came in from other states.
I think if I were Walker, I would give them until Monday to finish up their little tantrums. Anyone who was not in the classroom Monday would be fired. Permanently.
Shorewood is major Yuppieville, loaded with McMansions and manicured lawns.
I was watching one of these teachers on a clip over at Nice Deb’s saying that collective bargaining is a civil right.
Someone that stupid doesn’t need to be teaching anyone’s kid.
Response to Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere @:
Doubtless that licensed dunce believes that the only rights are collective rights, for collective actions, for the collective.
All these slackers get from me is dirisive contempt……..I would love to have a job paying what they get, also the horrible, terrible sacrifice of paying half of my retirment and one eighth of my medical premiums…presently I pay all of both. .They wouldn’t survive in my world……but looking at the bright side, if this is what we have to… Read more »
Any Lamestreamers still concerned about “civility?”
My heart bleeds little pink polka-dots for them as our military works longer hours for less money per year with no three month break over the summer. My heart bleeds little purple unicorns for them as they take a sick day and march, knowing that if I pulled any such bullshit as that I’d be looking for a job the… Read more »

You’re too nice. Every face I saw on the news at the march that had called in sick would be looking for gainful employment the day after.… Read more »
Check out the doctor committing fraud by handing out sick call notes to the malingering “teachers”.
Hey, even the communists from Chicago are showing up in support of the union leeches.
20 votes are required for budgetary matters (There are 19 Reps) but for regular business, they do not need Dems. So, really, while they are out, they should pass Right to Work legislation, a photo ID voter bill, redistrict the state (its due), pass a law making employers NOT responsible to collect union dues (would scare the union thugs shitless… Read more »

I realize that is a conservative based publication, but I find it very interesting that the custodial workers and office personal have been showing up for work unlike the teachers even though the bill will affect them as well.

And the fact that they are choosing to compare Gov Walker shows just how far they are reaching.

Most everything I had thought has already been said. This quickly! Kinda makes you feel good that the reactions are such as they are.
I thought Obamas election was going to end all this:

Government workers have access to elected officials during negotiations to set wages and benefits and can hold the promise of campaign contributions over these politicians’ heads during negotiations. There is, in effect, no one representing the taxpayer who is the source of all income to the government. This means runaway compensation for government workers, higher taxes for the general public… Read more »
