Real American Heroes

  So who are the REAL AMERICAN HEROES?

  According to this fellow, it's the union.

  Yes, in case you didn't know "Unions=Real American Heroes."

  Well, according to the left, that's probably true. 

  To them, this dude dress in too tight pants and Nazi boots is a hero. (Whoever complained about tea party costumes ought to just shut up, from here on out.)

  Other Americans might think the over 15000 tea partiers who showed up in Wisconsin yesterday with one day's notice might be heroes. As Gateway Pundit says, they paid their own way too.

  According to Fox, about 70,000 people were in the capitol of Wisconsin yesterday.

  Maybe it's the folks who are trying to figure out how to get a quorum by replacing one weak Democrat senator with an alternate using a recall petition. From Chicagoboyz:

So, the total time to get a recall election scheduled is the time to gather the signatures in Wisconsin Senate District 12 plus six weeks. Call it two months or so total if the GOP made a serious effort, which is late April.

Could the GOP get a campaign going in Holperin’s district to recall him, have the election, and get a shenanigan-proof 20 seat guaranteed quorum before Memorial Day?

  Maybe the heroes are the Democrats who turned tail and ran who gallantly exited the state to prevent the Republicans from having a quorum.

  As one of them said on the news this morning, "We just want people to slow down the process, be reasonable, work this out in a clear minded and fair fashion. Treat people with respect."

  Ooooo, that's funny.

  Isn't that what tea partiers said about Obamacare? Like, read the bill? Like, respect our presence here in the Capitol? Like, let us be a part of what's going on?

  What's good for the goose....

  Anyway, that sounds like a losing strategy.

  Or, wait, maybe the heroes are the doctors who signed fake slips for the protesters UPDATE...because, after all, isn't there a possibility they too are sacrificing their careers for their "just cause"? And if this is a harbinger of Obamacare, (fake drs excuses for free paid time off) what MORE can we expect from that monstrosity?

  What remains to be seen is the reaction of the general public to these shenanigans, when it's reported that the average teacher, with benefits, makes over $100,000 a year as the nation struggles with lost jobs and homes.

  From a Wisconsin Teachers' Code of Ethics:

A CODE OF ETHICS FOR TEACHERS

1. The school room is not the proper theater for religious, political, or personal propaganda. The teacher should exercise his/her full rights as a citizen but he/she should avoid controversies which may tend to decrease his/her value as a teacher.

2. The teacher should not permit his/her education work to be used for partisan politics, personal gain, or selfish propaganda of any kind.

3. In instructional, administrative, and other relations with pupils, the teacher should be impartial, just, and professional. The teacher should consider the different interests, aptitudes, abilities, and social environments of pupils.

  We'll just have to see what happens when the dust settles.

  Methinks the real heroes have already been revealed.
