Can there be any question anymore about the true state of the Democratic Party? Can their intent be any more clear, now that they have ran to the courts (as they always do) rather than actually trust in the will of the people? They ran to the courts, which are, of course, the very least democratic section of our national, federal, scheme?
Their actions in Wisconsin speak volumes about what the Democrats really want from our national society. The events in Wisconsin tell us all we need to know about what the liberal intelligensia desires. They want force; they want coercion; they want what they want, regardless of the will of the American people or, more importantly, of what's actually right. And they will force it down our throats any way they can.
A judge, an unelected and essentially autocratic bureaucrat, has ruled that the recent actions in Wisconsin be delayed, on the grounds that they violated the state's open meetings act. Yet it ignores how they might possibly have a meeting of any kind when the state's Democratic leadership hid like cowards rather than face what the will of the citizens of Wisconsin decreed. The Democrats ran away from their responsibility, and then had the gall, the unmitigated gall, to charge that the Republicans were the ones actually at fault.
We see the true colors of the liberal Democrats now. They preach democracy...until it goes against them. They preach the will of the people...until they do not share the will they claim to say they find so valuable. They preach why can't we all get along...until they decree that they cannot get along with the rest of us.
Wisconsin speaks for the Democratic Party. The rest of our great nation should listen.

Wisconsin: More Liberal Hypocrisy
Democratic state senators in Wisconsin have fled the state rather than do their duty as the elected representatives of their various districts within the Badger State. They have done so in order to keep the ruling Republicans from passing a bill cutting the power of the unions there.
This is precisely what happens when politics become about groups rather than persons, about certain segments of the population rather than the individuals whose taxes pay them. It is no great principled stance by Wisconsin Democrats but, rather, an example of how politicians kowtow to interest groups who generally support them. They don't care about what's right for their state but, instead, about the groups who will vote for them: in this case, the public workers' unions. And that is what makes the entire episode particularly galling: we have a segment of the government acting solely for the benefit of the government.
Governments and their employees do not exist for their own sake but for the sake of the folks who foot the bill. What Wisconsin Democrats are doing ignores that, yet it is a typically liberal reaction: fighting democracy when it goes against their will. We've seen it with Obamacare, we've seen it when Democrats attempted to run from Texas rather than accept defeat on a redistricting bill there in 2003, indeed we see it virtually every time a Democrat does not get their way. They run to the courts, into the streets, and in your way, all for the sake of their power. Liberals love democracy...until they don't agree with what it demands. The sheer hypocrisy of that attitude alone ought to keep them out of their various legislative seats should the nation ever fully recognize that.
Republicans did not flee Washington over Obamacare; rather, they fought it, content to let the next election do their talking (which it did so well). Yet the Democrats won't do the same. They seem more happy acting like King Arthur and his knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: they scream 'run away' and hide when the going gets tough. Let us hope that America takes proper notice.
