Wisconsin Senate passes bill removing collective barganing rights on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 10

If YOUR declaration of human rights includes cannibalizing small children, would that be OK?? Should the rest of the world accommodate you on that?

I didn't say anything like that...

I disagree with death threats but the other stuff is called protesting.

Who was assaulted?

One of the Senators was punched in the arm on camera.

"I disagree with death threats but the other stuff is called protesting. "

OMG Leslie, if the tea partiers pulled half this sh** you'd be imploding.

I am googling protest assaults and am not coming up with anything...

Half of what ****? Protesting? Do we know who is making the death threats?

"If YOUR declaration of human rights includes cannibalizing small children, would that be OK?? Should the rest of the world accommodate you on that?"'

It doesn't. No worries.

All politicians get death threats...Obama gets over 30 a day. Where is that outrage?

You should share your delcaration of human rights...I am sure the UN, USA, Europe, and the rest of the world have it all wrong.

Threatening the government is as American as Apple Pie.

My declaration of human rights could include smoking the naturally grown, God given marijuana. They include doing it while I'm driving my children around and at work. Using your philosophy, you should respect that, because it's my declaration.....

So they would have voted no, and lost the vote anyway. The states don't have a fillibuster. Are you just as upset when federal senators abuse the fillibuster?

You win some you lose some. It's no excuse to run away from responsibility. What if they all did that every time there was a legitimate disagreement?

Re: filibuster. Haven't thought about it. I think the filibuster is a legitimate and recognized form of political posturing. First I've heard of running away and hiding out in another state. Gosh it could give way to a whole new trend in modern government. Why whatever could we call it?

First you have heard of? Really? Republicans did it California a few years ago. Democrats did in Texas not that long ago. And Abraham Lincoln did it Illinois back in the eighteen hundreds... Its not common, but its the state version of a fillibuster.

Mostly with the Secret Service. People who threaten the President are investigated, and if appropriate, prosecuted.
Same thing should happen in Wisconsin.

I'm not outraged as much as shocked that the tolerant left, that carried on SOOOO much about the hostility after the shooting of Rep. Giffords, is largely silent now.

Must be that "non-existent" double standard at work again.
