New Tone At Work: Now Threatening News Reporters

You know, when you have lost Jerry Rivers. . .

Also: Via Camp of the Saints and Michelle Malkin, who details how law and order is breaking down in Wisconsin:

The Capitol police had set a deadline this afternoon for the grievance mob to clear out their sleeping bags, crock pots, and other makeshift camp paraphernalia. The occupiers ignored them. The Capitol police then promptly…capitulated. Rest assured, rewarding the breakdown of civil order will lead to more civil disorder.

I have to agree with Bob on this:

The police officers who refused to enforce the order to clear the Capital Building of people should be immediately fired. By their action of solidarity with the Socialist/Communist/Marxist Union Members and out of state hired thugs/protesters, those police have provided aid and comfort to law breakers and, therefore, have violated their sacred oaths to protect and to serve.

If anything, this shows the difference how a Nation of Men behaves as opposed to a Nation of Laws.

Oh my goodness, did I hear a drum circle in the video? Anyway, the man with the Gadsden Flag was correct with his definition of what Fascism is. Not that it mattered to the rest of the protesters.

Video: State Budget Battle Showdowns

From The Heritage Foundation and Reason TV.

Wisconsin. Ohio. Michigan. New Jersey. New York. Budget-battle showdowns are coming soon to a statehouse near you.

Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) has provoked the ire of labor union leaders in Wisconsin, but he’s not alone. Governors across America are confronting budget shortfalls — and looking to public employees to help make up the difference.

Walker’s budget repair bill asks government workers to make a 5.8% pension contribution (about the national average) and 12.6% health insurance contribution (about half the national average). In New Jersey, Republican Gov. Chris Christie proposed that public employees pick up 30 percent of their health care premiums. And in neighboring New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, asked public employees to pay $500 million toward benefits they’re currently receiving for free.

It’s a scenario all too common after years of out-of-control government spending.

Thanks to Heidi for finding this.

Sen. Rand Paul From The Late Show

Sen. Rand Paul made it to The Late Show the other day.

I think he held his own against Letterman. Letterman kept making the annoying claim about taxing the rich and Paul kept shooting it down. Keep in mind that Letterman is raking in 45 million a year when he talks about himself as 'middle class' toward the end of the clip.

The other part that I do like about the clip is how Sen. Paul isn't afraid to call the old Republican party what it was the past few years. Basically, Democrat Light.

New & Improved Tone At Work: Video Of Teamster Threatening To Violate A Body Cavity Of Someone Taping Him

Michelle has the details.


The confrontation starts at about the 7:30 mark in the video. Obvious language warning.

Anymore, the 'New Tone!' just like any other progressive idea. Repackage the old idea and slap a new name on it.

War on poverty? Redistribution of wealth with welfare and food stamps.

Cap and Trade? Redistribution of wealth with a made-believe commodity of 'Carbon Credits' that make richer countries have to buy with real money from poorer countries.

New Tone? Same old hate, hostility and projection from the left there always has been.

I'll give the progressive democrats this: The party knows how to recycle.

The New, New Tone In Action: Union Protester Hits Woman For No Reason Whatsoever

Via The Other McCain, The Daley Gator and Da Tech Guy.

And they say chivalry is dead.



As much as I would have loved to see Tabitha Hale, the woman assaulted, kick him back in the jewels, violence is the end game for many of the progressive type protesters.

They would be able to use that one event as a chance to say, "Look how violent those right wing types are! They punch back!" And a willing media will lede with that story for at least a week.

As it stands now, the guy may get a slap on the wrist. Makes me wistful for the days of vigilante justice.

Damn, I've read too many western books growing up.

Update: This is what a union thug looks like.

Movie Clip: Atlas Shrugged

Henry Rearden Comes Home.



To help put the clip into context, Rearden has been working on a new metal alloy to that would help revolutionize the steel industry. His first major pour of it was done that day.

Ten years of blood, sweat and failed formulas went into the planning of Rearden Metal and his wife and family scoffs at his gift to his wife. Calling it "Bondage" and effectively, driving Hank emotionally away.

If they were able to get this scene right, there are hopes for the movie yet. I wasn't quite sold on the trailer for it.
