Walker Has No College Degree...

[Wrong Element]

Walker won't say whether or not he believes in evolution, whether he believes Obama loves America, and whether Obama is a Christian. None of these are in dispute to anyone who isn't a moron.

What's he going to do when the questions are regarding things intelligent people actually have to think about a bit to form opinions on?

I think it's more a matter of "I don't want to get involved" or "I don't want to take sides." Personally, I don't believe Obama is a Muslim, but I don't really know with absolute certainty. On the one hand, there is all that time he attended the Christian church in Chicago, but that doesn't absolutely prove anything. He could be some kind of deep mole, and his attendance was protective coloration. This is made even less unlikely by the fact the pastor of the church hates America so much and made no secret of it.

On the other hand, Obama's father was a Muslim and he attended an Islamic school in Indonesia, where he was listed as Muslim. He was very young then, but not too young to have been indoctrinated.

As for whether or not Obama loves this country or not, that is also open to conjecture. He could be trying to destroy it from within, by running up massive debt or allowing huge masses of illiterate aliens to gain citizenship or other methods. And, didn't Michelle say something like "For the first time in my life, I'm proud to be an American" when her husband was elected? That doesn't sound like someone who loves her country either.

Because history is filled deep cover moles who have risen to power to destroy a country from within. This shit happens like all the fucking time.

Obama's love for this country is no more open to conjecture than Bush's. He could have been trying to destroy it from within as well, starting two of the longest wars in US history, running up massive debt, allowing huge masses of illiterate aliens to gain citizens (which he actually tried,Obama specifically targeted the college educated and military service. Neither of which can you accomplish while being illiterate.)

And I can't remember the last time I was proud of my country either. . .maybe the killing of Osama? Landing the Mars Rover? Electing Obama? I mean if you discount any or all of these what have we done since say 1990 that is worth being proud of? I don't know Michelle's age off hand she should probably be proud of the fall of the Berlin Wall (assuming you narcissistically give America credit for that instead of it being a global accomplishment.) If she didn't love her country Obama wouldn't be in politics, he'd be much, much richer writing books. Not that he's not gonna clean up talking after wards.

Yes, yes, we get it, your a subversive force with failed ideas, who doesn't want to hear the truth.

Except our failed ideas are called America and it's done rather well. Less well since we increasingly went with your ideas in the 80's but hey. We're still here for the foreseable future.

THE FACTS ARE OBAMA WAS MENTORED BY COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS, FORMER TERRORISTS, AND AMERICA HATERS LIKE JEREMIAH WRIGHT. HE SAID IN HIS BOOK THAT HE SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH SUCH PEOPLE. SO, WHY CAN'T HIS FUCKED UP BELIEFS ANS POLICIES BY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT MENTORING? ROLL THAT AROUND FOR A WHILE, BOOKWORM.

So what if was? Nothing wrong with being mentored by commies or marxists, that "terrorist" was a vandal and it's dishonest to discribe him as a terrorist. Wright hates America? Since when? Oh wait, being upset about your people means you hate the country? Someone should really get on telling all those people in the South rocking Confederate flags that they hate America when nothing could be farther from the truth if you talk to them. They are by and large racist, they are bitter about the economic ruin the Civil War brought upon them and that they have never quite been made whole since but if you doubt the deep, deep love those Southern Redneck Bastards have for the country you're kind of insane.

Why should he have to answer these phony gotcha questions? Why didn't Obama have to answer questions about evolution and Christianity. Why doesn't Obama have to clarify stupid statements made to the press by other Democrats?

because

that's why

Scott Walker, after years of insisting he has no interest in "right to work" legislation and "it is not on my agenda" and "would bring the whole firestorm back," is now ready to sign such a bill.

That was then. This is now.

Walker’s not worrying about Wisconsin these days. He’s in a new race—scrambling to win the support of 2016 Republican presidential caucus-goers and primary voters who like their candidates to take a hard line on social and economic issues.

So Walker’s line just got a whole lot harder.

On Friday, two of the governor’s closest legislative allies, state Senate majority leader Scott Fitzgerald and state Assembly speaker Robin Vos, announced that they will call a rare “extraordinary session” to rush through a “right to work” bill with limited public input and debate. With solid Republican majorities in both chambers, they say they aim to pass the measure—which mirrors “model legislation” language peddled by the corporate-sponsored American Legislative Exchange Council —in a matter of days.

This development took most Wisconsinites by surprise. Republicans and Democrats had thought that the issue was on the legislative back-burner—not just because of Walker’s pre-election and post-election talk about wanting to avoid distractions, but also because some legislative Republicans had griped about the wisdom of advancing “right to work” legislation.

“It is absurd that Republicans would fast-track legislation to interfere with private business contracts and lower wages for all Wisconsin workers at a time when our state is facing a massive $2.2 billion budget crisis,” Wisconsin Senate Democratic leader Jennifer Shilling said after the announcement that the “right-to-work” fight was on.

Why didn't Obama have to answer questions about evolution and Christianity.

Because everyone knows his answers would be truthful, predictable, and noncontroversial.

Every time Maxine Waters opens her mouth and makes one of her incredibly stupid assertions, Obama should have to clarify his own beliefs on the subject.

or Bidens GROPING

or Dumb Wasserman Shits graft and corruption

or Guam tipping over

or his FUND RAISER in jail for being a PEDO!

Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorhn, both mentors of Obama, were Communist terrorists in the Weather Underground.

If that's what you were thinking of, ya got nuttin'.

 

[Sean Renaud]

So what, you say? You can be incredibly stupid at times. Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorhn, both mentors of Obama, were Communist terrorists in the Weather Underground. Ask the FBi if they were "vandals."



You're really full of left wing shit aren't you? few on Lit have reached your level of insanity Sean.

Yes, so what I say. We live in a democracy don't we (Democratic REpublic but here the difference makes no difference) if a communist marxist wins an election he wins. As for what the FBI thinks who cares, it's kind of irrelevant, they are not terrorists in the common lexicon and referring to them as such is terribly dishonest.

Few on Lit have reached my level of honesty and enlightment you mean. But thank you.

Here's somethin' for you, Ayer's . . .

If it's Ayers', don't waste our time with it; Ayers' != Obama's.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Scott Walker is a hero in his state . . .

He is ruining its economy.

 

[KingOrfeo]

So why isn't he immediate confronted when somebody in his party makes a stupid public statement?

Probably because no POTUS before him ever was.

 

[KingOrfeo]

I wouldn't call that pandering. I would call it refusing to be baited into making personal attacks and slinging mud. That's something I wish all politicians would do.

If Walker had simply said "Of course Obama is a Christian," as any sane and sensible person would, how would that be "making personal attacks and slinging mud"?

Why do questions like that have to be asked in the first place? They really have no relevence to anything.

Because if you aren't Christian you aren't fit to run a Christian nation. It really is that simple. I'd bet money we'll see a gay President before an Atheist.

AND YET NOBODY LEARNS: Walker’s Pro-Worker Law Has Crippled Labor Movement That Opposed Him.



Walker had vowed that union power would shrink, workers would be judged on their merits, and local governments would save money. Unions had warned that workers would lose benefits and be forced to take on second jobs or find new careers.

Many of those changes came to pass, but the once-thriving *public-sector unions were not just shrunken — they were crippled.

Unions representing teachers, professors, trash collectors and other government employees are struggling to stem plummeting membership rolls and retain relevance in the state where they got their start.

Funny that you can “cripple” supposedly representative organizations just by requiring that they raise their money from people willing to be represented.

 

[KingOrfeo]

He is ruining its economy.

For example:

In many respects, the point of Walker’s anti-union crusade was to destroy the electoral muscle of the main opposition to his conservative agenda. But the most important impact of the creeping death of public unions in Wisconsin may be on take-home pay.

The Washington Post didn’t take note of this, but according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, median household income in Wisconsin is $51,467 a year, nearly $800 below the national average. And it has fallen consistently since the passage of the anti-union law in 2011, despite a small bounce-back nationally in 2013. The Bureau of Economic Analysis puts Wisconsin in the middle of the pack on earnings growth, despite a fairly tight labor market with a headline unemployment rate of 5.2 percent.

This actually undercounts the problem a bit, because it doesn’t cover total compensation. For example, in the wake of the anti-union law, public employees lost the equivalent of 8-10 percent in take-home pay because of increased contributions to healthcare and pension benefits.

Moreover, the meager earnings growth that has come to Wisconsin has mostly gone to the top 1 percent of earners. Another Wisconsin Budget Project report shows that the state hit a record share of income going to the very top in 2012, a year after passage of the anti-union law. That doesn’t include the $2 billion in tax cuts Walker initiated in his first term, which went disproportionately to the highest wage earners. (This is precisely the agenda Walker is likely to run on in his presidential campaign.)

The trends mirror those in the country at large, where labor has similarly stumbled. Real hourly wages fell for almost everyone nationwide in 2014, according to the Economic Policy Institute, except for the low-wage sector, bolstered by minimum wage increases at the state and local level. Wisconsin has not joined that movement, with its minimum wage still consistent with the federal floor, at $7.25 an hour.

You can argue that squashing unions in Wisconsin had no bearing on income stagnation in the state. But you would have to ignore how the labor market works. If public employees cannot bargain for wages and benefits, they stay depressed. And employers who compete for well-educated workers, like those who take jobs in teaching and government administration, similarly don’t have to increase wages to attract their services. Blunting worker power in one sector has ripple effects everywhere else; as Larry Mishel wrote in the New York Times yesterday, “the erosion of collective bargaining is the single largest factor suppressing wage growth for middle-wage workers over the last few decades.” And Wisconsin provides a salient example of that.

 

[Wrong Element]

Why do questions like that have to be asked in the first place? They really have no relevence to anything.

It says something about one's willingness to stand up to the lunatic fringe -- which when it comes to Republicans isn't even the "fringe," apparently, since they clearly don't think they have political cover to answer questions about Obama's religion.

If someone had asked the 2008 Democratic candidates about equally bizarre left-wing nonsense, say, "What do you think of the persistent rumors that the Bush administration knew the 9/11 attacks were coming and did nothing?" and one of the candidates had said "Well, I'm really not sure," don't you think that would have been a little bit of a story?
