From Instapundit (who has been ALL OVER this topic since it began) : Wisconsin, what is the right analogy? Strolling over to Rand Simberg’s link:
Gettysburg was a battle in a war over federalism and states’ rights — in this case the dubious and odious “right” to treat human beings as chattel — a cause that has given the phrase a notorious name for over a century and a half. Madison (ironically, named after a Founder and drafter of the Constitution) is also a battle over states’ rights — in this case the right of a state to rein in the new slaveholders — public employee unions who extort taxpayers to give them better wages and benefits than those who provide their funding by threatening to shut down vital services if their demands aren’t met. And this time, the new slavemasters are being supported by Washington. Let us hope that in this new civil (so far) civil war, in the cold winter battle of Madison, unlike on that hot July day in southern Pennsylvania, the rebels against the central government win, because this time, it will be in defense of human liberty.
States Rights. Masters. Taxpayers. Interlopers.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are equal…"
Obama seems to think otherwise; unions > taxpayers.
