KCAL9′s Dave Lopez spoke with several protesters who weren’t aware of the battle between the labor union and the airport services company.
Many years ago, a phrase was coined by the leaders of the Soviet Union to describe those in the West who naively promoted the cause of Russian Communism when in reality they were held in contempt and were being cynically used by the Soviet hierarchy. The term "useful idiot" more than ever applies to a vast swath of citizens in the United States who have been cynically used by the hardcore left for a cause they are unwilling to understand.
We don’t recall seeing nor reading any news coverage of this rather newsworthy story in any of Milwaukee’s news outlets—do you? Why do you suppose that is? This isn’t merely a local Sheboygan story—not when the story takes place in the State Capitol’s Rotunda.
On Thursday, March 20, 2012, during a visit to the Capitol, some Wisconsin high school students from Sheboygan Lutheran High School, in town for the state high school basketball playoffs decided to check out the Capitol rotunda. While there, they witnessed protesters singing about unions and solidarity, so they decided to drown them out with pro-Walker chants.
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
—Opening page Dedication, Rules for Radicals By Saul Alinsky
"The MacIver Institute of Wisconsin reported today that the State’s teachers’ union (WEAC) is "being guided by the philosophy of radical leftist Saul Alinsky."In fact, the National Education Association (NEA) the largest teachers union in the United States included Alinsky’sRules for Radicals on its members’ recommended reading list page. A check of the NEA website today revealed that this page has been scrubbed from NEA’s website. Fortunately, we were able to locate this pdf copy that the bumblers at NEA evidently overlooked.
Saul David Alinsky is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing. The late Conservative author, William F. Buckley said he was "very close to being an organizational genius.”
The MacIver Institute of Wisconsin has been closely following the pro-union protests that started in Madison last year has done a great job of bringing to light interesting stories (fake doctor notes). And it hasn’t disappointed with one of its latest videos, which takes you inside the courtroom as protesters try and mount a defense for why they disobeyed police in August and refused to vacate the capitol.
The following video does a good job of laying out the story, so we won’t bore you by repeating details. But what we will say is this: the protesters were eventually found guilty ($200 fine plus court costs), and just wait until you hear their defense.We're sure their English and history teachers would be proud of them.
Here's the bottom line, the protesters claim that when police told the group to vacate the building because it was closing, the cops never told each one individually. They also believe that police would have been able to do their job (close the capitol) even if the protesters were left to sit in the rotunda. Our favorite line comes when defendant Damon Terrell claims he would have eventually gotten bored and left. How's that for conviction for "THE CAUSE."
Listen to college student and defendant Damon Terrell and his co-defendants, "colleges," as Terrell refers to them, defend themselves. in court. This is what our schools and universities are turning out.
“Useful Idiots” is the term Karl Marx used to describe an uneducated mass of people that accomplished a goal of political puppet masters unbeknownst to them. These people thought that they were carrying out good works that would better society, but in reality they simply were sold a bill of goods and duped into worsening their own societal position. Used and abused by a deceitful taskmaster.
On October 7 Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) paid a visit in support of the Atlanta “occupiers.” For those unfamiliar with Lewis, here is a biography of this Champion of Civil Rights. Here is how Lewis was welcomed by the Useful Idiots in Atlanta. Are these mostly white protestors racists for their treatment of Lewis?
