Fleebaggers: ya better come back

  Some very clever maneuvering going on today on both sides of the political aisle. 
  While the New York Daily News reports that New York is sending union thugs brothers and sisters to Madison in support, presumably because Wisconsin teachers are supposed to be returning to work today, the Wisconsin Senate is considering passage of a voter ID law, "abhorred by Democrats," according to JS Online.
  Of course, the Democrats are philandering off in another state, avoiding doing their duty, presenting an excellent example to children of how not to do your job, which seems to be a fever going around out there in the Badger state.
  This is an amusing and timely idea, but one has to ask why any voter or legislator would "abhor" a law in which voters actually have to present ID to register official opinion on various state proposals and laws.
  Voter ID laws have been upheld by the Supreme Court. They prove who you are and that you are not lying in presenting numerous alternate identities to vote numerous times.
  Well, one only has to ask why you'd "abhor" such a law only if you're willing to close your eyes to reality, which is apparently the case with some people.
  How anyone could argue that properly identifying yourself is depriving "the poor" from voting is beyond absurd, particularly when the memory of the New Black Panthers parading with nightsticks in front of a polling place is fresh in the memory, even as the DOJ rejects looking into the "problem."
  Powerline has several insightful comments about this apparent disconnect with reality. First, they point out that liberal groups who receive massive flows of cash from political sugar daddies are objecting to conservative groups receiving comparatively modest amounts of support cash from conservative benefactors.
  Powerline:

Certainly not in the world of Think Progress, which is entirely a creature of the billionaire left. One curious feature of today's left is its obsession with "astroturf." There is a reason why lefties who work for billionaire-funded web sites like Think Progress constantly talk about astroturf: it is the world they live in. They are paid by rich liberals, and the demonstrators who are bused in to left-wing protests are generally union members who are paid to attend. No one on the left does much for free. So lefties find it hard to understand that ordinary citizens ("Tea Partiers") will turn out at rallies without being paid, that conservative voters vote on principle, not financial self-interest, and that conservative activists act out of conviction, not because they are subsidized by a sugar daddy. Failing to understand that conservatism--unlike liberalism--is a movement of principle, not self-interest, they are constantly looking for the elusive, non-existent money trail.

  That disconnect with reality was apparent when one of the Democrats, a "fleebagger" who ran away,ran away from providing a quorum to Wisconsin legislators, compared herself to the demonstrators in Egypt on Van Susteren's "On The Record" last night:

TAYLOR: No, what I'm saying in particular, Greta, is that in Egypt, if you look, after they overthrew their ruler, they had some specific rallies and protests, and one of the ones that they had was on workers' rights. How ironic is that, right?

And if you look, even on my Twitter page, there's been an opportunity for you see a sign from individuals in Egypt that says "Egypt supports Wisconsin workers." This is really about making sure that individuals have the right to come to the table and talk about our future. 

  Then again over at Powerline we have the story of the grievously wounded soldier who spoke about ROTC at Columbia the other day. When he spoke about "bad people" wanting to kill Americans, spontaneous laughter erupted from the student body, particularly one young lady who screamed in laughter. Someone cried out, "That's completely offensive," in response to Maschek's contention that bad people who are murderers exist in the world.

  Perhaps the young lady ought to spend some time actually reading the news once in a while, like this pleasant little story of a teacher who was attacke by Muslim militants for doing his job. As Powerline (again) points out, England is shariah friendly. 

  And that's working out really well for them, isn't it.

  The Daily Mail:

Four men launched a horrific attack on a teacher in which they slashed his face and left him with a fractured skull because they did not approve of him teaching religion to Muslim girls.

  So, little gal from Columbia who thought it appropriate to jeer someone who was wounded for you and to little miss who screamed, "That's completely offensive" apparently  to accuse Maschek of being a racist against al Qaeda, maybe you'd better get your president to start fabricating fake software created people on FAcebook and Twitter to support your case, because most of us out here in flyover country don't believe you.
  We think you're a bit pampered.
  And, fleebaggers, it's doubtful your president will risk political capital to come back to support you. Maybe in his next term, he might, but for now, he's busy.
  He's at a WTF meeting in Cleveland.
  Too bad about that Cleveland weather today. Might depress turnout.
