Walker of Wisc: radical ?

[dogtowner]

lets take a look at the whole picture for a change

or should the question be radical right or left.

its way to much to snip but well worth the click, to recap a little

In short, Walker won’t end forced private-sector unionism, lighten Wisconsin’s hefty tax burden, or abandon government spending to stimulate economic growth. All this would have made him a Democrat in FDR’s time. That modern-day progressives are branding him as a right-wing radical says far more about them than him.

I do like this FDR quote

“The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.”

 

[GenSeneca]

"Capitalism is not the system of the past; it is the system of the future—if mankind is to have a future. Those who wish to fight for it, must discard the title of “conservatives.” “Conservatism” has always been a misleading name, inappropriate to America. Today, there is nothing left to “conserve”: the established political philosophy, the intellectual orthodoxy, and the status quo are collectivism. Those who reject all the basic premises of collectivism are radicals in the proper sense of the word: “radical” means “fundamental.” Today, the fighters for capitalism have to be, not bankrupt “conservatives,” but new radicals, new intellectuals and, above all, new, dedicated moralists." - Ayn Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal​

I reject Collectivism but Walker certainly does not.

Hes a republican in a liberal state, there are limits perceived or otherwise that he operates within the bounds of. but the point is that he is anything BUT a radical righty by any measure.

You're talking about the Radical Left here... Of course they think Walker is a Radical Right Winger. If I may invoke Godwins law here, Fascism was created as a centrist movement blending what they saw as the best of Communism and Capitalism together into a new ideology. Fascism became known as a "far right wing" ideology thanks to the success of Communist propaganda designed to discredit both Fascism and Capitalism at the same time by equating them with each other. It is amazing how far Left the Democrat party has gone... Once upon a time Democrats were anti-socialist, remember that? Now they're cheerleaders for Democratic Socialism, hence their preference in now being referred to as the "Democratic" party.

So true.

The D Party is really a commie party. Saying this results in some people thinking I am crazy. But, it is apparent once you research and find the truth. What Communists want and what the Ds want are essentially the same. Sadly, today many Americans are so dumbed down by the lib government school system they do not know what a communist is and are unaware of it's horrors.

Yet the libs and their media claim the R party has gone too far to the right. This tactic is so transparent to those of us in the know. Condemn your opponent of being radical, yet it is you that is radical. The Ds have gone over the left wing cliff, yet they claim the Rs and the Tea Party are a bunch of crazy radicals.

JFK wound not recognize the current Donkey Party. Damn shame he thought he needed LBJ as a veep, we might have avoided the "Great Society" had he gone another way. That one decision that elevated LBJ to national stature has had quite the horrible effect on the country.

Yes you have to be pegged fringe left to see Walker as radical. Of course its in the DNC playbook to call any non-dem radical. Hyperbole is the MO for them no matter how foolish.
