#2 Ennahar seems to be an Algeria oriented on line pub.

#3 The workers with cushy government jobs are the ones in favor of keeping the regime in power in Libya. The protesters in Wisconsin are on the wrong side if you want to compare them to Libya.

#4 The law, which has irritated the Americans in the city of Madison...

Well, not all Americans - just some. In fact, even in the birthplace of American Progressivism, there is a plurality (If not an outright majority) that beleive the time for Unions to make concessions is long overdue.

...prohibits the right to strike...

No...not really. The rules that regulate public employee "strikes" have already been written and agreed to contractually.

...made up mainly of students and state officials...

Not so much. The bulk of protestors are adult citizens that are labor union members. And it's probably helpful to recognize that most of the "students" participating are fulfilling their usefull tool role for groups like SDS. Plus, any "state officials" opposed to this legislation have either been in the background, in a television studio, or left the state.

...as a encroachment on the liberties and rights guaranteed not only by the U.S. Constitution and federal laws but also by the laws in each state.

Ummm...no. Nothing in the bill even comes close to infringing on the right to assembly or free speech. Nor does anything in the legislation supersede federal labor laws. And finally, the beautiful thing about living in a Republic is the folks in Wisconson that disagree can always move to Illinois. Of course, switching alliegence from the Packers to the Bears may be a bridge too far for most.

#5  140,000 Americans erupted into the streets

No they were bussed in from neighboring cities and states - or were hapless students kidnapped (taken without their parents permission) and brought in by their union teachers to protest what they knew nothing about.

A cons demonstration was started where dozens of demonstrators pro governor,

Dozens? Who's doing your counting - CNN? And what's with the 'cons'?

#6 Those were just the bussed in goons. Wait until the real workers show up when they are pissed.

#7 The students would be that drum circle with the dude playing the Benny Hill sounding saxophone.

#8 It should also be noted that the people being bussed in, like the NY Teamsters, are not working but seem to have the money for an impromptu leave of absence.

#9 Madison (Mad City) has been a Mecca for draft dodgers and war protestors, communists, and revolutionaries for decades. Referring to these people as "Americans" is a bit of a stretch.

#10 Madison, and particularly UW, has always been a center for radicalism. Madison was the place where 40 years ago, four radicals who were linked to SDS/Weather Underground blew up Sterling Hall with amfo, a building where math research was done. An innocent student was killed in the explosion. The SDS/Weather Underground was also linked around that time (1970) to other left-wing radicals Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorhn, neighbors of Barack Obama in Chicago.

#11 I never believed in those pension entitlements after 25 years. Now only the beneficiaries believe in them.
