Workers Defend Their Rights in Wisconsin & Ohio (Video :P)

So... yeah. Republicans are making a huge move across several states for the sole purpose of eliminating the rights of employees to negociate their working conditions.

If this keeps up, I predict an enormous win by democrats in 2012... unless they fuck up again and don't bring this little issue up during their campaigns.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

I say this all of the time: There is nothing wrong with conservatism because it's a well thought out thinking process. Republicanism is bat-shit insane and completely corrupted by lobbyists (Waaaaay more than democrats)!
