AWOL Dems Need To Be Remembered In Next Election

Elections have consequences as we have all been reminded since Obama was immaculated. The Obama, Pelosi, Reid cartel was fond of throwing its weight around and supporters agreed with what they did because, as they told us, elections have consequences. Obama told GOP leaders that he “won” which was his way of saying that is why things had to be done the way he wanted and why the opposition really did not have a seat at the table.

Well, elections do have consequences and the country has been seeing them unfold under the Obama regime. The November 2010 elections were the result of those consequences and the new set of consequences is that Republicans made huge gains at the federal and state level and now things are going to be done the way they want.

But Democrats, who told us about elections having consequences (you know, sit down and shut up), are not taking kindly to what happened. In a handful of states Democrats are fleeing in order to avoid the consequences of having lost. They do not want certain legislation to pass so they are abandoning the jobs they were elected to do in order to thwart the will of the people. As a Maryland Republican put it (when referring to a MD Democrat who was absent over a bill most Democrats support):

“As Republicans in Maryland, we get beat up on constantly. The trick is to be smarter, work harder and find ways to achieve as many victories as you can. But you can’t just leave because you’re not going to win.” Washington Post

You can’t just leave because you are not going to win. Suppose the federal politicians were able to walk out to keep votes from happening. Can you imagine how Democrats would have acted if it happened during the vote for Obamacare?

Elections have consequences and so do actions. The actions of Democrats led to their historic defeat in 2010. And now the actions of Democrat lawmakers who have gone AWOL should cause them to lose their jobs in the next election (if not sooner).

These people should not be paid and any privileges they have as lawmakers should be revoked.

And when they return they should be apprehended.

Most importantly, they should be fired in the next election.

As an aside, I find it interesting that Democrats called House Republicans in Wisconsin cowards after a vote on a bill. What does that make the Senators who fled to avoid their duties? To Democrats they are heroes.

Go figure.

More Crime In Wisconsin

The Governor of the state of Wisconsin ran on a platform of getting the state budget under control and he has begun to do so. One of the things he is working on is to have teachers pay more of their benefits. The union member teachers in Wisconsin pay nearly nothing for retirement and not much more than that for their very good health care plan. The governor wants them to pay a bit more and that bit more still amounts to about half of what private sector employees pay.

This request from the governor has not been well received by the teachers and the union thugs. Throw in a smattering of race baiting poverty pimps and you have one hell of a mess. The teachers called out sick forcing the schools to close. These “sick” teachers then went to the capitol and protested.

This is crime number one. They called out sick and were not sick. They should not be paid for the days they were out sick and in the real world they would be fired.

This led to crime number two. Doctors showed up at the protests and started handing out notes excusing the people from work. These doctors did not examine anyone and it is unlikely a record of the “visit” was generated. The doctors are writing notes excusing people from work when those doctors did not examine them (in any meaningful medical way). This is a crime and it would be fitting if the doctors had their licenses revoked for fraudulent behavior.

Crime number three (which actually came earlier than the doctor crime) is that Democrat lawmakers left the state to avoid voting on the issue. The governor wants to remove collective bargaining for public employees allowing them only the ability to negotiate salary and the Democrats want nothing to do with it.

This seems reasonable and it is more than reasonable to expect these teachers to pay more for their benefits. I always hear Democrats cry about people paying their fair share. Let some rich guy get a tax break and he is not paying his fair share (even though the rich pay most of the taxes) but let Wisconsin teachers pay almost nothing for their benefits (which means TAXPAYERS foot the bill) and Democrats line up to defend them.

My friend Don Surber had an interesting item in his Daily Scoreboard:

12. From Fox News: “If changes aren’t made to the benefit contributions paid by Wisconsin’s nearly 300,000 public sector employees, about 10,000-12,000 workers will lose their jobs, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker warned Sunday.”

Looks like that many walked away from their jobs last week. Fire them and balance the budget.

This is a very astute observation. The union must agree to changes to benefit compensation or 10-12 thousand workers will have to be fired to make up the shortfall. The union is not interested in changing benefit compensation. About 10-12 thousand teachers walked off the job to protest after fraudulently calling out sick. Fire them and balance the budget and then work on raising how much public sector employees have to pay for benefits.

This whole crime ridden issue is backfiring on Democrats. They thought they had a lot of support but the cowardly Democrat politicians turned tail and ran while the Republicans stayed and tried to conduct business and they did so at great peril because angry union thugs bused in by the unions were causing problems and trying to intimidate people.

In the world of American media the Tea Party folks, who have never been violent, are accused of all kinds of violence but the violent left is not taken to task for its demonstrable acts of violence and intimidation.

The people of Wisconsin elected Republicans because they wanted these kinds of reforms. Now it is time for the people of the state to stand up to the violent left. The people, the ones who pay the bills, need to demand that those teachers who called out sick be fired. People should consider a tax revolt if the teachers are paid for their crime.

The people should also consider moving their children to private schools. The investment in their children’s future is well worth the money it costs. Considering some of the signs at the protests it is no wonder our children are not well educated. If teachers can’t spell or use words correctly then how can we expect the children they teach to do so.

Voters should remember those Democrats who ran away from their jobs and refused to do the work they were elected to accomplish. Recall them now or vote them out in the next election.

Finally, the people should see what doctors wrote the fake notes excusing protesters from work and never go to them or switch if they are their doctors.

One final thought. The left always says it is about the children but this is not about the children, it is about the teachers and their compensation (actually, their lucrative benefits package) and nothing more. These teachers called out sick and protested because they did not like something that affected them. This was not about the children.

But what lesson did these teachers teach their students? If you do not like something then refuse to do your work, lie about it and then protest until you get what you want.

So what happens the next time a teacher decides to have a test and the students in the class decide they do not want to take it? What happens if they all call out sick and then show up at school and protest the teacher? What happens if they have fake doctor notes to excuse them? No teacher has any authority to do anything to prevent such a situation because this is what they showed the students to do…

It is people like these teachers, these cowardly politicians, the doctors writing notes and the complacent media (along with the race baiting poverty pimps) that someone had in mind when the final syllable was added to the name of the state…

Do you suppose that Keith Olbermann would wonder where the black faces in the crowd were as he did during Tea Party rallies (they were there but the MSM ignored them)? Well, Jesse Jackson was there…

An Open Letter to Men

This letter is to anyone who calls himself a man. Define that how you will.

Today, men, I ask you to think of a female close to you. This can be your wife, your girlfriend, your sister, your mother, or your daughter. Picture yourself standing with that person now. Now, I’m going to walk up to her, without your permission, and I’m going to put my hands down her pants, and I’m going to grab her rear end and her chest. Do you have any problem with that at all?

Oh, well, how about if I tell you that I’ll do it in a “non-sexual way” (whatever that means)? Is it okay then? Will you stand by idly and watch me, saying and doing nothing?

How about if I get people to pass a law that allows me to touch them? Does that make it right? Will you stand there and let me touch them, while you do nothing? What if I tell you that I’m doing it for your own good? I’ll tell you that it’s for your safety. And after all, if I don’t put my hands down their pants, the terrorists will win. Now will you stand by, watching me place my hands wherever I want on your wife, daughter, mother, girlfriend, or daughter?

Sadly, it appears the vast majority of men will do just that.

But not me. I will not stand idly by. And that is why I will not be visiting an airport any time soon. You see, the TSA has decided they have the power to touch your female friends and loved ones in any way they want. And while most males today will stand by and let it happen, I will not. I guess I’m a bit of a dinosaur, but when I witness someone attempting to put their hands down my wife’s pants, I am not going to do nothing. While I do not support violence in general, I do believe in defensive violence, and I do believe in protecting my wife from others who will attack her. When someone tries to put their hands on my wife’s body, I will physically attack them and stop them. I don’t care how many laws are passed or how many badges that person has. It is wrong, it is always wrong, and I will always do everything in my power to stop it. If you will not, you should not call yourself a man.

Now feel free to complain that I’m advocating violence and that I’m to blame for the next act of violence against a TSA worker. In all honesty, I would be glad if I were to blame. Because what these people are doing is wrong, and there appears to be no other way to stop them. They are initiating violence against people, and I am absolutely justified in using whatever means possible to stop them. I’m not the one advocating violence, the TSA workers are — even if they are just following orders.

No Wonder They Are Running From Health Care Takeover

When Democrats were ramming the health care takeover down our throats they kept telling us how wonderful it was going to be and that we would love it. Despite the fact that the majority of the public opposed the plan the Democrats were hell bent on ramming it through. Many of them claimed to be proud of health care and voted for it. At the time they made a big show of support and the bill signing was a spectacle.

Now that the election is near and Democrats are expected to take a beating, many of them are running from health care. It is hard to find one who claims to have supported it and none seem to be running ads telling us how great it is and how proud they were of their vote.

No wonder they are running away from health care.

Don’t fall for it. Make them pay for their arrogance.

Cave Canem!

Coward Democrats Leading Congress

The House passed a Defense Appropriations bill on Thursday and the Democrats attached a document that deemed as “passed” a budget that does not exist. The Democrats basically deemed that a non existent 1.1 TRILLION dollar budget that does not exist has passed and this will allow them to spend money for fiscal year 2011 which begins on October 1st.

Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that “deemed as passed” a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the “deeming” document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.

The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed. Human Events

This has never happened since the creation of the Congressional Budgetary process. Democrats are worried about how their big time spending looks back home in an election year (and only because it is an election year) so they are using cowardly means to keep spending money.

One would think if they are worried about voter reaction they would change what they are doing but instead they are using cowardly means to keep on doing business as usual.

All voters should be outraged at this and the blatant disregard for our deficit and the debt. Voters should be equally outraged that Congress has refused to pass a budget because appropriating money is a Constitutional obligation of the Congress.

If these people are not willing to do their jobs then it is time we voted them out and replaced them with people who are willing to do the job.

Maybe next April 15th all taxpayers should deem that their taxes have been paid and see how that goes over.

Never surrender, never submit.
