Here is a shocker:

Pelosi backs Wisconsin protesters

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came out strongly in support of Wisconsin teachers and students who are protesting Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to public employees of collective bargaining rights.

Pelosi told reporters Friday that the protests are “an extraordinary show of democracy in action.”

“Wisconsin's workers, teachers and public servants must have a seat at the table to fight for a safe workplace,” she said. “I stand in solidarity with the Wisconsin workers fighting for their rights, especially for all the students and young people leading the charge.”

No, democracy in action was when the voters in Wisconsin elected Scott Walker to the office of Governor.

But then, what does Nancy Pelosi understand about democracy and representation?

The more we become a collectivist nation, the less foreign, socialism seems.

Its actually interesting how socialism lived in US society. It basically was quite strong until it was ruthlessly stamped out in 1917.

I am neither a loyal liberal nor a loyal conservative, and I do live in Wisconsin. In this case, I'm siding with Walker though. The teachers, for example, are being quite unreasonable. Why do they deserve significantly better benefits that anyone in the private sector? They don't and especially not better taxpayer-funded benefits. If they really cared about the kids as much as they say they do, they would get back into the classroom and do their jobs. Watching the protests and seeing some of the signs these people are carrying is shameful indeed. What a dark day this is in Wisconsin history.

3 days so far, and counting. It has a chain reaction as people in the private sector have to each take vacation days or work from home (if they are allowed to) so they can watch their kids.

And thank God for that; one USSR was enough.

it's proof these teachers don't give a damn about education as well or the well being of society.

The chain reaction should be the news here. Instead we've got a bunch of government leeches who semi-work for their welfare.

It is a selfish religion, worshiping baby seals, owls, and giant weeds.

I'd just like to say how thrilled I am to be on the same side of this issue as you. Not sure I agree with your choice of words either.
