WI GOP Partying Like It Was 1814
Look away, Dixie Land...to Wisconsin?
Really, Wisconsin Republicans - - a Southern strategy for proud Union state Wisconsin.
In 2014?
Nothing will turn the Wisconsin GOP into a quicker Jimmy Fallon punch line, nothing will convince college grads to head elsewhere faster, nothing will re-direct entrepreneurs to dozens of other states more abruptly than having the Wisconsin party in power, in 2014, talk up secession as a legitimate public policy plan.
Which is exactly what the upcoming GOP convention is apparently putting on the agenda.
Break away, to what, exactly? A self-financed FitzWalkerStan?
LimbaughLand?
Are Wisconsin Republicans ready to give up all that National Guard and Reserves' infrastructure? Federal highway money? FAA airport tower and runway financing? Agricultural payments? University research and secondary school support, and grants that help keep every Wisconsin city up-and-running?
Is this really the New, Post-Romney Republican Party that Paul Ryan and Scott Walker think they can sell statewide, or beyond - - a weird, wacky Dixiecrat do-over without any real or rational link to Wisconsin's past?

The Tea Party and the Kochs demand that modern Republicans make State's Rights into a fetich and a code word; and the logical endpoint is then the validity of secession.
Which means, of course, that to them, the Confederacy was right.
form antebellum to anti-Belling
they have mamaged to make the phrase "completely bypassing the thought process" into their mantra
Well, it's one way to distract from the whole "completely missing the 250,000 jobs pledge". Not to mention all the ways they've managed to drag Wisconsin down, to the point that the rest of the Midwest would probably LIKE to see us secede.
Why do Republicans hate America so much?
Walker is trying to "distance" himself from the crazy talk. Let's not forget, nor let him forget, his earlier claim to have been "the original tea party in Wisconsin."
How would Wisconsin defend itself against an inevitable invasion by Canada?
See where anti-Union rhetoric gets you? The Memorial Union will no doubt be next...
Would kinda like to see how they will do this - How will they finance it and does the Tax Fairy really exist where they can have all this stuff and pay for it with tax cuts that create more revenue.
once again, TRUTH is stranger than fiction.
Years ago when you heard the phrase JOHN BIRCHER, you knew what it meant...I haven't forgotten.
FEAR IS A MIND KILLER
