From an opinion piece in the Detroit News:
The lawmakers in exile call this a defense of democracy. In truth, viagra generic it’s a step toward anarchy. If it catches on as a practice, viagra sales site it will officially end government by, of and for the people.
It’s part of a disturbing trend by Democrats to embrace a by-any-means-necessary approach to governing. We saw it during passage of Obamacare, when the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate blew up the rules to block a filibuster. In Massachusetts, Democrats used after-the-fact law changes in a failed attempt to keep a Republican from succeeding Ted Kennedy.
Obama trashed bankruptcy law to move the United Auto Workers ahead of General Motors’ and Chrysler’s secured creditors. And his regulatory agencies are bypassing Congress to enact policies he knows the elected representatives would never approve.
The strategy exposes the arrogant liberal conviction that they are justified in imposing their will on the people, because only they know what’s best for America.
These Democrats in Indiana and Wisconsin merit universal condemnation.
What they are saying is that the people no longer have the right to use the ballot box to decide the direction of their government.
That’s a rule change our system can’t survive.

In a decision upholding the Constitutionality of President Obama’s healthcare law, cialis generic and Clinton-appointee Judge Gladys Kessler said, viagra
“It is pure semantics to argue that an individual who makes a choice to forgo health insurance is not ‘acting,’ especially given the serious economic and health-related consequences to every individual of that choice. Making a choice is an affirmative action, whether one decides to do something or not do something.”
So, according to Judge Kessler if I’m absolutely inactive, I’m still active because I’m CHOOSING to be inactive.
Why am I not suprised she was appointed by the man who once said, “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is”?

The students and public union members who have taken over Wisconsin’s state capital in an attempt to intimidate the duly elected majority have been chanting, viagra sale discount “This is what democracy looks like.”
This is not what democracy looks like. This is what mob rule looks like. It’s what self-interest looks like. It’s what a minority trying to thwart the will of the majority looks like. It is the exact opposite of democracy.
The reason America’s democracy has worked so long when so many other attempts at democracy have quickly failed is that Americans understand that the winners of elections get to govern.
I could not disagree more strenuously with President Obama’s agenda, cialis buy sovaldi sale but as he famously said, look “elections have consequences.” For the time being, he gets to implement his policies. In 2012, I will do my best to see that he is defeated and that many of his policies are reversed. That’s how we do it in America.
If you don’t like the results of an election, you work harder to win next time, you don’t attempt to overturn the results through work stoppages or by shutting down the government and refusing to return until the majority bows to your will.
I’m not saying the people don’t have the right to protest or advocate for their position, of course they do. But what’s going on in Madison is way beyond writing your representative, it is an organized attempt to subvert the results of a democratic election. That’s certainly not what “democracy looks like.”
This week we will probably find out who really runs Wisconsin, the voters or the unions.
And, quite honestly, I doubt it will end up being the voters.
