If you were thinking that the protests in Madison, Wisconsin just developed organically, think again. There is a well coordinated machine operating in the background, handling details like sign printing, busing folks to and from the protest, as well as scheduling groups of various members to appear on a rotating basis. They have also developed a game plan for the week ahead, not just in Wisconsin but at state capitals across the country.
The country’s second largest labor union, SEIU is helping the Wisconsin teachers as well as assisting in revving up potential protesters around the country. This list was copied from their web page just today;

As a sidebar, here is a screen grab of CNN‘s online poll about the public’s view of labor unions.
Almost 400,000 votes were counted by CNN’s non-scientific survey. The results show that SEIU’s members might be better served working on improving their image with the public instead of organizing protests around the country.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 1:50pmIt will be interesting to see how these protests compare to the peaceful patriotic themed Tea Party events. I’m picturing hate and rage along with countless signs calling people Nazis, calling for people’s deaths, foul language and on and on. It will show who the left truly are (again) and will be a stark contrast to the tea party Im sure.

Report Post »UpstateNYConservative
Posted on February 21, 2011 at 3:06pmActually, we can’t ignore them. While they behave like petulant toddlers, there are so many in their camp that silence on our part hands them the battlefield.
The Left is entrenched, and the media are their biggest asset. Their control of colleges requires time to win the intended prize, and nothing is sure for them. Any student liberal at age 19 cane become Conservative by age 20. It’s a factor, but it doesn‘t serve the Left’s immediate need.
The MSM, however, DOES serve to their (liberals’) immediate need. The last thing we on the Right should do is ignore the Left, let it pass by as an ‘aberration’, that it will pass. The same thing was said by many in Germany about Hitler: “The people will see he’s a fool, ignore him.”
We need to fight the Left hard on all counts, every time. If we ignored them in the Tucson shootings instead of battling them like we did, you can bet protesters in Madison would also be blaming their own duly-elected Pub government for the horror there in Arizona.
You know, I have to wonder about Cons who say to ‘ignore’ the Left. Realistically, it can’t be done with any hope to defeat liberalism. I mean, if a mugger comes with a knife to rob someone, will ‘ignoring’ the mugger stop the crime?
Just an idea…

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 1:39pmI can’t honestly recall a good story about a union since EVER. I do recall news items about union workers stealing cheese from the poor in Boston, being fired, then having to be rehired with back pay because they were union. Never read a kindly story about them. I don’t think they care what their image is as long as they can strong-arm their workers and the public to gain more power. I declare it is past time for them to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 1:39pmIs there any wonder why they want to increase taxes? The unions get the workers more money, from which the unions can take more money from them, and then give it back to the communist politicians. All the while, the private non-union employees pay higher taxes, make less money, and pay for an agenda that will ultimately put them out of work. Utopia?

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 1:39pmEmailed this to Governor Walker this morning…
“Dear Governor Walker,
I am writing you with a very grave concern for the safety of the people protesting inside of the capitol rotunda and your state‘s legislators’ safety.
Considering the dynamic makeup of protesters, the close quarters of the over crowded capitol rotunda and the potential for irrational violence by some…
If someone was to use this heated situation to opportunistically act in violence inside of the capitol the potential for loss of life would be massive.
Imagine five thousand people breaking into physical violence at one time and the rush of humanity trying to escape it, now imagine that inside of the rotunda.
I must strongly urge you to clear the rotunda as quickly as possible to non business foot traffic and confine protesters to the capitol grounds.
If this situation were to erupt into violence inside of the rotunda the bloodshed and loss of life could be immense.
If you look at crowd psychology and consider the potential for irrationality, this situation is in fact dire.
I am not suggesting that either side is inherently violent or prone to violence but if this were to happen you would be immediately blamed for failing to control one side or the other.
I urge you to act on this issue in the interest of every person’s right to speak but also in the interest of public safety and civil order.
Thank you most sincerely for your time, ”

Fellow patriots considering counter protests be forewarned you are being baited. The left is till seeking an event of physical action. They have been quiet with there whining over the “violent rhetoric” but make no mistake they want a crisis. SEIU is notorious now for inciting violence, the video footage has been shown time from time. Things are now really heating up you can be sure someone will try to start something. Stand down no matter what if you pan to take part in a counter protest if you are directly confronted, make sure cameras are rolling everywhere. They are looking for a fight do not give them one. Remember who is working with the unions.. the hardcore radicals socialist groups etc. There will be agitators brought in to incite violence they need it to rein whatever this machine is they are trying to start.

I can’t decide which is more entertaining: correcting the grammar errors on SEIU pamphlets, or correcting grammar errors on The Blaze.
(Actually, I lie. The Blaze offers far more timely and vitriolic responses than SEIU could EVER manage. It is a far worthier foe).

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 2:17pmSnowleopard, I’d be interested in your thoughts on this……
I was thinking seriously that the whole plan was coming together as planned by those who have worked long and hard to bring chaos. The structure was being put in place. The riots were starting.
However, I am now — especially with the article above — coming to believe that the Progressives are lurching forward in panic. The rhythm is not logical and leaves way too much to possibly tip away from their goals. For example:
Standing back, we can see the international dominoes begin with Greece and then Ireland. The next projected unrest was said to be heading towards Spain and other European countries. They’ve died down quickly in light of the Middle East uprisings, starting with Tunisia and then Egypt. In quick succession we saw chaos erupt in other Middle Eastern countries. Many are on the brink of collapse, but none have had any turnover of government at this point.
We collectively have been watching states like California and New York, knowing that their debt-ridden culture would end up with them asking for federal bailouts. (Bailouts have come into disrepute these last 18 months or so and I wonder if another tactic had to be considered.) But, pundits on both sides of the aisle believed that somehow the people of this country would have to prop up the overdrawn states.
Suddenly, Wisconsin erupts with protesters? Really? I know that Wisconsin is the home of the Progressive movement and perhaps this state was chosen simply because they have a well-entrenched Progressive culture. But their rationale for protesting is so incredibly shallow and easy to demagogue. Parents are pissed that they suddenly have to find daycare to take care of their kids. Or, the parents are losing money by having to stay home to take care of kids. The Democratic representatives actually FLEE the state in a universal show of cowardice. It’s becoming more evident that these federal workers are very highly paid as compared to their compatriots around the country.
And now the SEIU is proposing nationwide marches this week in a show of solidarity with their brothers in Wisconsin. Really?
Looked at in its totality, I am coming to think that the carefully crafted house of cards is wobbling. Seriously wobbling.
And, collectively, there doesn’t need to be a very strong wind to bring that house of cards down.
Am I wrong? What am I missing?

Not chaos by design; what we are seeing is the APPERANCE of CHAOS by design, this will be played out in a well orchestrated manner, where it will appear to those without the manuscript and the schedule to be spontanious and chaotic.
They know exactly how the illusion is produced, and how it is to be played for all it can be played for.

If they were truly interested in their membership they would be talking WITH them and not talking AT them and telling them what to do.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 4:48pmWhere is the apology from the left for calling this “manufactured unrest” an absolute lunatic fringe scare tactic just last year when Beck was prediciting this would happen, he just didn;t know when it would. Seems to me that Beck is very close to perfect in his predictions thus far and why not…he’s the only devoting seroius research time to his assertions. At some point the left has to admit the obvious or all of their credibility (what is left of it) will be gone in the eys of the average American …..if that hasn’t already happened. The SEIU if they go through with this I feel it will be a major mistake on their part….the majority of the public is not with them. As Beck has said…they are taking thier shot knowing that the window of opportunity for thier platform is rapidly closing. IMO they have shot themselves in the foot and that window of opportunity has already slammed shut. 2012 will be the final nail in the Progressive/commie coffin.

My apologies for the delay in responding, in answer to the ideas of a house of cards and them reaching out too far in a panic?
The means shown lately by them indicates a certail level of desperation is building, as many of their leadership have been exposed, the means exposed, and the allies of the liberal media having to at last admit their own biases to the public at large.
Indeed they are reaching out far and fast as well, for they have come to realize there is only a limited time left, and the window has now started to close rapidly for their own agenda. They are now in the process of what can happen among a ‘coalition of mutual interests’ in where the interests are starting to come to cross purposes, and the opposition is not going to play along or just go off and die.
So we still need to be cautious, not afraid, they are a wounded aniamil yet; the card house will come down under their own weight, or when the people of America get so fed up, like is happening, we are pushing peacefully back and take their feet out from them.

Posted on February 21, 2011 at 6:07pmI am all for continued rallies by SEIU and all other union organizers – keep up the public pressure. As more people are exposed to what the unions are really fighting for (power), and what they are all about, thier support will continue to erode, and quickly. I also support the socialists/communists/marxists that have to get thier facetime on camera at each event. Not only does it destroy the public perception of unions, but it further exposes the bias of the Lamestream media.
When state rulings start to go against the unions, you will see violence start breaking out in these protest groups….. and the American people as a whole will have no tolerance for such actions. The thuggery will be on public display for all the world to see.

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
“That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
I didn’t see in there anywhere that said we have to wait for the next election and be civil about it…in fact…Thomas Jefferson said this:
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
