Wisconsin Governor Walker as Object of Union Hate

Gary Larson — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:15:11 +0000

Seething, palpable hatred might decide summer's recall elections that foreshadow national elections come November. The horrible thing about [the daily exercise of] Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but on the contrary, that it was impossible to avoid joining in. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness. . . seemed to flow [...]

Academic Lynching: Botched Hiring Reveals Faculty Bias

Gary Larson — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:44:40 +0000

Academic freedom is given lipservice at Hamline University in Minnesota where a GOP gubernatorial candidate for the faculty is blackballed because of his political views. Why are we not surprised by such blatant bias on campus? Liberal bias on campus, no less than in mainstream media, is an open, shameful little secret. Bias in academia [...]

The Union War on Wisconsin Governor Walker

Gary Larson — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:38:15 +0000

The labor union inspired Wisconsin Civil War continues unabated

Unleashing forces of hate, making it personal, unions roll out heavy artillery in their all-out war against their declared enemy, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Union devotees will need about 540,200 signatures on petitions in 60 days to trigger a special recall election targeting the besieged rookie [...]

Political Protest 101: Indoctrinating Fourth Graders in Wisconsin

Gary Larson — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:25:44 +0000

"Hi hi! Ho ho! What did you learn in school?" The three "Rs" of course, reading, writing and arithmetic. Plus another if you're a nine-year old in Portage, Wisconsin: How to protest at the Capitol in Madison. Will the left stop at nothing, nothing at all, to indoctrinate our young ones? Read and weep:

“What did you learn in school today, dear?” a [...]

Union Thuggery in Wisconsin: Death Threats, Anyone?

Gary Larson — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 21:23:11 +0000

'Credible, specific death threats' are ignored by mainstream media. Republicans take cover. Weird things are happening in the Badger State. Something's rotten there, and it's not the cheese.

At first, the multi-union sponsor of the annual Labor Day parade in Wausau, Wisconsin "disinvited" all Republican office-holders. No kidding. No marching for them. No open convertibles. [...]

On Recall Elections in Newly “Purple” Wisconsin

Gary Larson — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:38:49 +0000

Unions overplayed their hand thinking they had public sympathy for their benefit excesses, extracted from compliant prior state legislatures. Now they are licking their wounds and getting ready for their next hate-infused recall election – Gov. Scott Walker's next year. It will be a doozy. Will public-sector unions face defeat again at the hands of "people power"? Or [...]

Politics of Union Retribution Fails in Wisconsin

Gary Larson — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:42:43 +0000

Two key issues not addressed in public employee unions' recall efforts remain mostly hidden from public view. Media conspiracy, maybe? And are collective bargaining "rights," rights at all? Were these "stripped," as alleged, from privileged public workers by meanie Republican Governor Walker's wrecking crew in that budget reform bill? Answers herein.

Public union leaders [...]

Democracy in Jeopardy in Bloody Wisconsin Recall Elections

Gary Larson — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 13:36:56 +0000

"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. . ." — Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister (1979-1990)

Pity the poor. No powerful union to rely on to ensure fully state-paid pensions. No collective bargaining "rights." Caught between public union demands and limited state resources, they end up [...]

Secrecy Surrounds Silver Star Medal Revocation

Gary Larson — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:15:25 +0000

Are John F. Kerry's medals also in danger of being yanked? Don't count on it. Why his acolyte, retired US Navy Captain Wade Sanders, had his Silver Star for battlefield gallantry revoked, is a mystery. Will incurious news media get to the bottom of the story? Answer: It's doubtful.

Anatomy of a Liberal Jury?

Gary Larson — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 01:51:42 +0000

In the widely-watched Anthony case, a young mom "walks" because of jury selection? Same as the first O.J. trial? Couldn't they connect the dots? Did its inherently "liberal" nature, albeit not in the political sense, turn the jury off to the prosecution's case?

Not caught up in the Casey Anthony trial, as multitudes were, [...]
