They aren't conserving anything, even the status quo which the conservation of actually defines conservatism. Rather the correct descriptions to apply are radical reactionaries, regressives or market nihilists, or maybe even the F word to describe the merger of corporations and the state. Conservatism is far too timid a term to describe the beggar thy neighbor crony capitalist enablers who want so much as to return Wisconsin to the Gilded Age and the corrupt frontier politics of the time that spawned Wisconsin Death Trip.Joshua Skolnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429086776789822611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-43348585997455901952015-11-13T15:46:05.604-06:002015-11-13T15:46:05.604-06:00The Al Jazeera articles are amazing.

It's time for them to stand with the people of Wisconsin instead of the corporate donors to whom they've sold this state. How about just once in 5 years people are put before profits and need before greed! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
