…that way they can’t pretend they aren’t what they are.

If Herman Cain is making people this nuts then that suggest they are scared of him.

They should be.

An even better example is the Doctor business in Wisconsin. Think about it. Two generations ago with the Judeo-Christian values taught in every school to some degree it would have been unthinkable to commit the type of public fraud that is being done by doctors and teachers in Madison this weekend. I mean even Breitbart got a note:

How many honest doctors looking at this are embarrassed? How many teachers are forfeiting any moral authority over their students by these measures? How many will look at the examples set by the senate in Wisconsin Do they even care?

The Right Sphere nails it:

What we’re seeing is an ideology devoid of a moral compass. This is Progressivism laid bare for all the world to see. It’s disgusting. This is the Nanny State, cradle-to-grave entitlement society. They’ve turned public sector jobs into welfare programs and this is what happens when someone tries to make it sustainable.

It is important to see things for what they are. The real question is will the left eventually look in a mirror and see, or will it only be selling conspiracy theories?

Update: We’ve got honest to God communists (is that an oxymoron?) actually looking for revolution, I kid you not:

Money quote:

I think that the influence and effect of whats going on in Egypt you know and around the world in terms of people rising up against dictators and oppressive regimes and I think the people are open to the possibilities to building a revolutionary movement.

Remember there was an election and the Republicans won, they won majorities in the state, they won the governor’s office and you have actual communists calling for actual revolution comparing the results of a free election to dictators and oppressive regimes.

And check out the comments in the Washington post Charles Lane a reliable liberal looked at what happened and called it what he was:

Yet today in Wisconsin, anger and vilification are once again the order of the day — and the incivility emanates from the progressive end of the spectrum, including, no doubt, many of the same people who blamed right-wing vitriol for creating a climate of violence in Arizona. Union-backed demonstrators, furious at Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s plans for reining in public-sector unions, equate him with Hosni Mubarak and Adolf Hitler, in disgusting mimickry of some Tea Party members’ inflammatory linkage between Obama and the evil dictators of history. (See Photo no. 10 in this gallery) or Photo 13 in this gallery .

Meanwhile, progressive voices in the media fanned the flames, spreading misinformation and outright falsehoods with a zest that would make Glenn Beck blush

And he was torn to pieces over it by the left.

Meanwhile here is Scott Walker

That was fox. Watching ABC this morning, they haven’t touched the fake doctor notes. If that gets into the MSM the game is totally over nationwide. Every single day this goes on GOP prospects for 2012 improve.

Different Year Same Conclusion

It is one year later and the photo is different:

The last picture I took at CPAC

But the conclusions are exactly the same.

Doing the Math… Shy a couple of hundred

In doing the Math (ok the books) I see that I’m a couple of hundred short, likely due to car repairs and the increased price of gas as I venture from town to town to sell my ads door to door.

I haven’t done a lot of tip Jar shaking lately, mostly because I’m trying to make it via the show alone, but if you think this blog is worth the time and effort and you can spare a $20 or two this month, it would be quite appreciated.

Gateway pundit is reporting from the rallies in Madison Wisconsin and notes something interesting:

UPDATE: Doctors have set up a booth to sign scripts for work absences.

So let me get this straight: Medical professionals are knowingly signing their names to a document attesting to an illness that is false in order to allow these workers to collect taxpayer money from the state.

I’m not a lawyer and don’t even play one on TV but wouldn’t this be fraud and an actionable offense?

Perhaps Ann, Glenn or William can answer that.

Update:

I’d drop that off to the DA stat

Update 2: The lonely conservative is all over it and Stacy now has something up.

Update 3: Little Miss Attila has an update as well consisting of other updates.

Update 4: Hey we are the left and the ends justify the means:

I just got off the phone with Luke Bacher. Luke is a staffer for freshman State Representative Tyler August (R) and was attending the event with his family on his day off today. Bacher was near the sound system when a man in his late 20s came over and just started yanking out wires. When Bacher attempted to put the wires back into the sound system, the man pushed Bacher back and started getting violent in his shoving as if trying to provoke a physical confrontation. Then he started pulling wires again before the police finally arrested him.

And of course Crooks and Liars lives up to their name, playing little truther games, because of course it can’t be true that democrats and liberals might do anything dishonest, oh and this Breitbart video must have been faked too. And Ann Althouse must be in on it too of course isn’t she?

The far left desire to justify itself requires far more faith than Christianity. This is quickly going to reach the point where even the MSM won’t be willing to continue to cover for these people.

Update 5: Speaking of Faith here is the Anchoress and more Stacy.

Update 6: Had a conversation with a liberal in twitter, after some time they finally admited the video was genuine and did not approve but quickly turned to Breitbart/Sherrod/Planned Parenthood. That more than anything else tells you why they go after Breitbart. They need to be able to ignore what he says so they attempt to Alinsky him. Like I said, liberalism has become a religion.
