"Get A Little Bloody"

The Left's Assault on Democracy in Wisconsin

We hesitated before publishing the article below which appeared in The Hill's Blog Briefing Room.  It really isn't the sort of story we like to print, yet it is the kind of article that must be read in order to be well informed.  Shortly after the Tucson shootings last month the Sheriff of Pima County, Democrat Clarence Dupnik, immediately blamed right wing Talk Radio, and Tea Parties for the "language" they used, and claimed that they had inspired the shooter to go on his rampage.  He was wrong on all counts, and it brought about a national discourse as to how all parties should tone down their rhetoric and try to  be kinder to one another, even though their views differed. 

The "truce" certainly did not last long.  The posters and signs displayed by the Wisconsin teachers and all the others who joined them were strident, cruel, offensive and used the imagery that Democrats normally accuse Conservative Republicans of using.  The hypocrisy is almost comical if it weren't so sad.

When we saw our country heading in a socialist direction, and we heard the words, "Take Back America" they were music to our ears.  Our country had changed so much since the time that we were children, that it just gave us hope that our grandchildren could indeed grow up in the America of our youth.  We normally see the glass half full!  We're positive and optimistic.  We pray and faithfully believe that prayers are answered.  Yet sometimes it is troublesome at times to maintain a positive attitude.

In 2008 a majority of Americans chose to elect an inexperience senator, a community organizer as president. Barack Obama, as part of the Chicago Political Machine, is man who believes in distributing the wealth,  a backer of unions, and a man who spends the American taxpayers money as if it were his own reserve, it's hard to believe that times will change under such leadership or lack thereof.

This protest in Wisconsin has been a real eye opener.  It has shown Americans at their very worst, selfish, demanding, intransigent.  What a tarnished example they've set for the youth of America...runaway from your duties, lie, use fraudulent excuses, cheat. Shame!  The entire country is in a crisis, the elderly worry about their own benefits, so many depend on that Social Security check just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.  People foresee hard times ahead, many have seen their saving dwindle.  It hasn't been an easy two years--we know what it is like to draw a teacher's salary, but we also know that the American way has always been, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."  Ironically, that phrase came to us from Joseph P. Kennedy, a die hard Democrat. This is not the first time that Americans have faced hard economic times.  It is however the first time in our considerable lifetime that we've heard politicians call for blood in order to get their way.

The Reverend Billy Graham said:  "Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything."  These are words we should all heed.

Democrat urges unions to 'get a little bloody when necessary'


By Michael O'Brien - 02/23/11 07:57 AM ET


Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.


Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.


"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Statehouse News. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."


Political observers have been the lookout for potentially incendiary rhetoric in the wake of January's shooting in Tucson, Ariz., where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) survived an assassination attempt, six were killed, and 12 others were injured.


On Wednesday afternoon, Capuano issued a brief apology: "I strongly believe in standing up for worker rights and my passion for preserving those rights may have gotten the best of me yesterday in an unscripted speech. I wish I had used different language to express my passion and I regret my choice of words."


Political rhetoric has become especially heated in Madison, Wis., where Republican Gov. Scott Walker has proposed major labor reforms that sparked more than a week's worth of rowdy protests at the state capitol.


"We take security seriously, whether it's for me, the lieutenant governor and all 132 members of the state legislature, Democrats or Republicans alike, because there's a lot of passion down here," Walker said Tuesday on MSNBC about his safety in Wisconsin. "And particularly when we see people coming in being bussed in from other states, that's what worries us."

Capuano made his remarks before a crowd of union members in Boston, along with other members of the state's congressional delegation. Massachusetts has an influential union population that could loom large over the 2012 Senate race. Capuano is considering getting in that race to challenge Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) next fall.


“This is going to be a struggle at least for the next two years. Let’s be serious about this. They’re not going to back down and we’re not going to back down. This is a struggle for the hearts and minds of America,” Capuano told union members.
