The Democrat Method

A post from American Thinker details a perfect reason why any time Democrats and Union thugs accuse their opponents of subverting or disrespecting the democratic process, they should be met with guffaws of derision. There is lately a fledgling effort to institute a recall petition against certain Wisconsin Senate Democrats, a drive that if Democrats have their way about it will be doomed to utter failure. In fact, they are working tirelessly to see that such efforts never see the light of day.

Following is a portion of the article, which deals primarily with an attempt to start a recall petition of Democrat Senator Wirch, one of fourteen obstructionist Wisconsin Democrat state senators who have fled the state in order to deny a quorum on the state funding bill proposed by Governor Walker-

Yesterday I spoke with Dan Hunt and he confirmed the stories that have been circulating about union efforts to suppress the “Recall Wirch” petition drive.  According to Mr. Hunt, union agitators were already present at Veteran’s Terrace in Burlington more than an hour before the event.  Union members representing teachers, firefighters and teamsters had assembled and taken up strategic positions in order to achieve maximum visibility and restrict access by blocking entrances and filling available parking areas. 

 

The highly organized union mob waved their mass produced signs and periodically deployed at entrances to create a human barrier when vehicles dared to breech their lines, quickly melting back into the crowd after convincing the vehicle’s occupants to leave.  Lacking any sense of shame and parenting skills, many of the union agitators brought their young children to help fortify their human barricades.  The well trained mercenaries were careful to avoid the sort of physical violence that once accompanied the Obamacare town hall meetings. 

 In an e-mail forwarded to me by Lori White, a volunteer named Gerry who was manning a drive-through event in Burlington reported that he was overwhelmed by the union mob.  Although they were generally well behaved, “the protesters sucked all the oxygen by strategically blocking our signs from the view of the passerby.  Their very real and visible presence effectively hid the fact that we were collecting recall signatures on private property.”  Gerry observed that “they were well organized and knew exactly what to do to obstruct our efforts and stay legal.”  Sadly, the drive-through site was shut down before noon due to the “unionistas.”

The extent to which the enemies of free and representative government are willing to go in this battle should be a wake-up call to us all.  This is no longer just a local matter, this fight has taken on national significance, or Gerry explains it “The battle has been engaged, we CANNOT lose it, or I fear we lose our State and our Country for good.”

Thankfully the bill was passed without the presence of the Democrats, but they should not let that hinder them from moving full speed ahead with the recall process. On the other hand, Walker might have been given the gift of a rare opportunity, that of both succeeding in passing the controversial bill, and of firing a large number of state workers, many of whom apparently have nothing better to do with their time than to spend their days and nights in the capitol wreaking havoc and obstruction.

It's long past time to take off the kid glovs when dealing with these clowns.
