The War on Wisconsin


The outlook for the unhinged Left’s secondary targets, however, is not so bright. Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, a tea party candidate who is not part of the GOP establishment, is being treated as collateral damage by the party. Outside of Wisconsin, most conservative activists are not even aware that she may be booted from office for simply doing her job. Kleefisch told me that on a recent fundraising swing in D.C., national GOP leaders were shocked to learn of her plight.

While Democratic femme-a-gogues continue their plaintive wailing about a “war on women,” Kleefisch has battled vile misogyny from liberal detractors. When lefty Wisconsin radio host John “Sly” Sylvester accused Kleefisch of performing “fellatio on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee” and sneered that she had “pulled a train” (a crude phrase for gang sex), feminists remained silent. A former television anchor, small businesswoman and mother of two, Kleefisch’s quiet work on economic development has reaped untold dividends for the state. But if conservatives who preach the gospel of fiscal conservatism do not act, the profligate progressives’ vendetta against Wisconsin may result in the first-ever recall of a lieutenant governor in American history.

Kleefisch, a 36-year-old colon cancer survivor, is a fighter who points to her two young daughters when I ask why she’s in the political arena. What message would it send to young tea party moms across the country if Walker survived but Kleefisch was hung out to dry? Will Beltway Republican strategists and donors who constantly harp about the need to diversify the party step up to the plate?

President Obama, the AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME and left-wing operatives know that Wisconsin is Ground Zero in their battle against limited-government activists. Their demagogic propaganda war against Wisconsin GOP Rep. Paul Ryan, who is leading entitlement reform and budget discipline efforts in Washington, is of a piece with the campaign to overturn the popular elections that put Walker, Kleefisch and the GOP majority in place. If they can chill fiscal responsibility and free market-based reforms in Wisconsin, they can chill it everywhere. Will movement conservatives let them?

    Wisconsin must be rescued. Leftist maybe powerful but they offer misery and a hard life for everybody. Do not allow unions or any mob to push Wisconsinites to the disrupt and poverty. Help Gov. Walker, Lt. Gov. Kleefisch and good conservatives who are committed to save your budget and people prosperity. Wisconsin will be part of our American achievement. Come on Wisconsin, as you know socialist demagoguery is bad for business only good for failure. We are with you.

    We avoid union made goods and services whenever possible. We moved to a right-to-work state last year from a democratic, welfare dominated, union state where taxpayers, businesses, and jobs are leaving by the boat load. It was an immediate raise!! When you buy union made goods and services, you support the likes of dingy Harry, Beads Peloise, Cheesy Chuck (you) Schumer, and Barrack (Stinky) Obama.

    If the people of Wisconsin fall for these fascists' lies again and vote them back into office, I say they deserve the bankruptcy, corruption, cronism and constant spewing of lies that they will get. If they are too blind or lazy to look at other states i.e. California to see where they are headed, then scr@#$ 'em. Go ahead Wisconsin, it will be ok. The dems you vote in when you throw those Repub bums out will watch out for your best interests. They won't hand over the reins and the state coffers to the public employee unions. They won't spend your state into oblivion. They will make a budget and stick to it so your state can maintain itself. Once they get back into power, it will all be different this time. Ya, that's it. Keep telling yourself that.

      Frankly though I feel sorry for the intelligent people there who know that you can't spend more than you have. They should leave the state to its "new management". Remember all the school busses parked in Louisiana during Katrina? Mayor Nagan emerged unscathed and Bush caught all of the blame. But gee, we can't blame Nagan, he just didn't know better! Did people die on his watch? Not his responsibility; doesn't fit the narrative.

      Picket NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN! Call them amatures, and political hacks! Call them out on their media malpractice! It's time the plug was pulled and THEIR voices were drown out!

  4. If Wisconsin taxpayers want to see what the results of a recall will be, they need only look south to Illinois, where Gov. Pat Quinn, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the public employee unions, now admits the state is close to fiscal collapse. Anyone who votes to recall Walker can save trouble by adding a signed blank check to the ballot box. I will link to this from my Old Jarhead blog.

    When and if people fall for the union narrative in WI, as they did in Ohio with repealing SB5, my hope is that many of the conservatives and their businesses pack up and leave the state. Leave them to be another Michigan where neighborhoods end up being bulldozed. Write "Icabod" on the State Capitol. Of course we KNOW what the "media's" narrative will be: "It's all the Repubilcan's fault — they wouldn't cooperate and they left us in this misery". Thankfully there will be some who get it, but I wonder if it will be enough for us to learn. Oh, sure they will cry tears of despair and hope their sugar daddy in the WH can prevail once again on all of us evil people to do their fair share dutifully pay their taxes, because by gosh THAT'S THE LAW!!!! and don't you EVER forget it.

    If the people of Wisconsin want their government to revert to union domination, budget deficits, fiscal ruination then who are we to stop them? We cannot educate the ignorant voter fast enough for them to avoid self-destruction. I say let the people of Wisconsin be responsible for the fiscal nightmare which the unions will impose on them because even ignorant people learn something when they have to suffer. Suffering will produce concerned and knowledgeable citizens far more effectively than an educational campaign. The same applies to the rest of the country. If we were stupid enough to elect Obama then we have no reason to complain when he delivers the multitude of sufferings which is his main talent, courtesy of Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx.

    The battle for Wisconsin is a national fight, not just statewide. If the unions and Madison Leftists prevail, Collective Extortion will once again impoverish the state, but worse, it will send an intimidating message to ALL states that elections don't count, until the Left wins, therefore conservatives no longer have representation.

    The unions spent $40,000,000 dollars to get a radical on Wisconsin's Supreme Court, which is split much like the US Supreme Court. They know Wisconsin is vital to the public unions survival, and they are throwing huge amounts of money into what would normally be largely unnoticed elections. They know that Walker has irrefutably proven that collective extortion destroys stae budgets and enslaves taxpayers, and the Left is desperate to reverse legitimate elections to save their cash cow.

    Andrew Breitbart came to our Tea Parties on the square in Madison, despite the virulent hate the left hurled at him. My enduring memory of Breitbart was at the last rally where, before he introduced Sarah Palin, he told the much bigger Leftist crowd to "go to hell," three times. They didn't seem to like it.
