The New Civility

The Anchoress shows us how the Democrats and unionists qualify "civil discourse." I call it mob rule, but I guess I'm just old-fashioned.

To quote a friend of mine, "God, please take the hippies soon! We can't survive much more of this!" Unfortunately, they've spawned -- and their progeny is compounding the traditional leftist ignorance with aggressive stupidity.

What people like Governor Walker, Governor Christie and others are attempting to do is to wean a spoiled child off the teat so that they can get on with the business of growing into an adult. As always, it's a struggle. But in this case, the "infant" is a poorly-educated mob of entitlement-minded New Agers, college children, and union neo-socialists, all of whom have strong tendencies towards violent outbursts when they feel themselves losing an argument.

There is a real possibility this will get ugly in a big way. I am fortunate (and smart) to live in Texas; we are a right-to-work state and we keep the leftist shenanigans strictly within the lines here. But if you're in one of those unionist states, watch yourself; these loons are a giant tenderbox waiting for a spark to fall. You don't want to be anywhere near them when they finally go up.
