Coup D'etat in Wisconsin

Wow. This can't be good. Wisconsin is now, to cite just one negative development since the Republican takeover of 2011, dead last among all 50 states in job creation. I too have been deficient in the amount of anti-Scott Walker chalking I'v...e been doing on the outer Capitol Square, and in many other respects. But I do hope to see all Wisconsinites of conscience later today/tonight, in Downtown Madison Wiscsonsin. After all, we wouldn't want to miss the unspeakable "budget butchery" that is about to take place. Of course, it isn't just the continued loss of local jobs which is at issue -there are the doomed Penokee Hills, about to be destroyed by a 4.5 mile open-pit long iron sulfide mine. There is the prospect of "Dog The Bounty Hunter" setting up shop in the Badger State. Women seeking Supreme Court-sanctioned abortion procedures face actual rape by trans-vaginal ultrasound, another Republican travesty. How about $650 million additional dollars in tax cuts, overwhelmingly to benefit the wealthy, who don't need them? Then there are those 85,000 Wisconsin residents who will be kicked off Badger Care/Medicaid, due to Legislative Republicans' and Scott Walker's vicious callousness. If nothing else, let's get down to the Square tonight, to witness history in the making. Today, and the days soon to follow, are not completely unlike that terrible day in September 1973 when Pinochet violently took power in Chile. Not as bloody, by a long shot, of course. But entirely destructive of the social fabric so far left intact. Make no mistake: Wisconsin's Republicans share an important characteristic with their partisans nation-wide: They are FASCISTS! We must at least protest these impending legislative atrocities.
