The left-wing protesters in Wisconsin have insisted they are only calling in sick for work, getting paid for protesting, and demanding excessively generous benefits for “the children.” To drive this point home, they have surrounded themselves with children in the protests. Many of these young people say they feel “forced” to attend and admit they have no idea why they are there. There is a simple reason for this: The Left has long used children as political props for its radical political agenda. No one who really cared about children would want to expose them to the hate-filled profanity-fests that represent the average liberal rally.
The Left uses children as their political soldiers because children do not know the platitudes they are mouthing are nonsense; they are more sympathetic than union thugs; and they give the Left a sense of innocence and moral legitimacy entirely unmerited by their ideology, means, or goals.
Marion Wright Edelman, who founded the Children’s Defense Fund and acted as Hillary Clinton’s mentor for years, admitted, “I got the idea that children might be a very effective way to broaden the base for change.”
Wisconsin has put Edelman’s lesson to use. The co-president of the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Teaching Assistants’ Association told Nation magazine, “While students haven’t been the source of this protest” – no, that would be enormous labor unions – “they have definitely been the soul of this protest. Students of all ages have shown up. They’ve stayed up late on little sleep – they are really working the night shift to keep this movement going.”
Is keeping children up for the night shift without sleep good for “the children”? What about immersing them in a large, raucous crowd chanting obscenities and carrying signs that bear such messages as, “If Tea Baggers are as Hot as their Fox News Anchors Then I’m Here for the Gangbang”? Or perhaps the sign that called Governor Scott Walker a “Motherf-cker”? (The dash was not a part of the original sign.)
In today’s environment, it is politically correct for radical leftists to use children as political props, but not to point out that even the most extreme gatherings of cultural revolutionaries is not fit for children. Heaven help us.

Replace the missing Devilcrat!! The new governer can do this. Before Oblunder can call for mL
I believe Adolph Hitler had the same philosophy about children. BRAINWASH them for changing the BASIS of SOCIETY.
Remember all those pictures of "The Leader" with the children? Those photo-ops were frequent, especially between 1933 and 1941, before things got busy. By the way, what happened to that "youth corps" that the current "Dear Leader" proposed? This was the public service leading to tuition concept that was part of his program. Maybe it was that similarity to the Hitler Youth Corps that caused it to fade away.
"IF TEABAGGERS ARE AS HOT AS THEIR FOX NEWS ANCHORS THEN I'M HERE FOR THE GANG BANG!!"
REALLY??? WHAT A DEMONIC MARXIST PERVERT!!
All of my TEA Party sisters, listen up! Get your CCW Permits and ARM YOURSELVES! That is your Second Amendment Right. IF any of those Marxist thug perverts try to gang-rape you, then DEFEND YOURSELVES with lethal force using your firepower! You have a RIGHT to exercise your First Amendment Rights by counter-protesting, and you have a RIGHT to defend yourselves. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT to violate your bodies OR your First Amendment Rights. But whatever you do, obey the law, and DO NOT START OR PROVOKE ANY VIOLENCE WITH THEM!!
From one of your TEA Party brothers.
Unions to the American Taxpayers: Sorry you have to pay out of your own wages that you work and earn for your "own" retirement (401k) but brother, could you dig a little deeper in your wallet and keep funding my pension also. I have a second home that needs some work done on it before I retire at 55 years of age!
VIRTUALLY ALL MARXISTS ARE PERVERTS.
These protestors are like the ragheads they use kids to do their dirty work.Next some fanatic will blow his kid up for Trumka and Stern.Then our so called president big ears Obuma will give the family a medal for carrying out the suicide bombing in his honor.
It is very possible that it is too late to restore our country to what our founding fathers gave us as the population of parasites seems to have become the majority.
John-No, the population of parasites really is NOT the majority – -they just make more noise while throwing their "juvenile" tantrum!
"It is very possible that it is too late to restore our country to what our founding fathers gave us as the population of parasites seems to have become the majority."
Rather, I think they're still the minority… but very very vocal and belligerent. They also have the skills of redefining reality, mischaracterizing, exaggerating, and sensationalizing to take things out of context to arrive at the message they push. Most Americans would support civil, fair, responsible union membership of those privately employed. They would not and do not support union thuggery, blackmail, and corruption used to retain bad employees and increase benefits (not 'rights') on the back of the taxpayer.
This all begins in the classrooms where the PROGRESSIVES, RADICALS, COMMUNISTS, FACIESTS, TERRORISTS are installed as TEACHERS in PUBLIC SCHOOLS and PROFESSORS in our UNIVERSITIES who are teaching their destructive way of thinking (BRAIN WASHING) to our children and young adults. That is only one reason the youth of today are in these large protests. They have been taught to hate the American way of life.
The youth today (still wet behind the ears) including college students have NO idea what Communism WAS, Still IS, what it did to millions of innocent people by Commisars in charge Human Life. Most Professors have no REAL Concept of Communism themselves but also were indoctrinated . American supported Colleges should be PURGED of ALL anti Americans.
