The Battle For America's Future Is Being Fought Right Here In Wisconsin, Right Now

If you haven’t noticed, lately there has been a dramatic shift in strategy from the far left. They have been backed into a corner as Americans in overwhelming majority have decried out of control government spending. This is an affront to the thing progressives hold most dear – their communist agenda. If you think that’s ridiculous rhetoric just ask yourself what happened to all that “stimulus” money, or look in the local paper and see what’s going on here in Wisconsin. The left sees 50 years of effort building the foundation of a worker’s paradise crumbling under its own unsustainable weight, and they’ve invested far too much energy to allow a simple thing like the will of the awakened American people to F--- it up now.

The chosen tactic is nothing new – it may be the oldest play they have: Class Warfare.

The rhetoric is in crescendo, with Michael Moore and other far-left whacko pundits trumpeting the call. If there are only two options to solving the country’s impending insolvency – cut spending or raise taxes – the left has clearly and proudly chosen their path. But of course they can’t raise everyone’s taxes – that wouldn’t be fair, so go after the rich. In a sense the left is smart about these things – they never miss an opportunity to highlight the spectacular oversights of wealthy people, especially when those people happen to be heads of large corporations, and since Obama took power there has been plenty of fodder. Can anyone say “conspiracy?” Obama has never had to answer the questions regarding his bailouts of the banks and the egregious bonuses paid out in the wake. Maybe he was just giving out rope, but his hands are as dirty as anyone else’s. I've heard several interviews on NPR with authors of new anti-capitalism books - you can't tell me this isn't a highly coordinated effort. The DNC is game-planning the whole charade, I guarantee it.

We’re fortunate in Wisconsin to be at ground zero for this battle. I’m optimistic that as a constituency we will eventually get tired of the drama and emotion play and come to our rational senses, which are clearly inclined toward reduced spending. But the far-left is nothing if not patient and tireless, and they are also not at all ashamed of lying or making up stories to invoke a desired response. My guess is this will be a long struggle, and I pray that we have the fortitude to see it through. Having Walker leading the charge is extremely helpful, but it’s the same reason the left is demonizing him so hard right now – they know he has both hands on the curtain and how dangerous that makes him to their grand design.
