Wisconsin Unions Explained by Wisconsin Conservative and Wannabe Teacher

This is from a commentor on NewsBusters that makes it pretty clear how Wisconsin conservatives see the unions ploy and how the Democrats are enjoying every second of it.
Read it aloud...

"Scott Walker represented the people of Wisconsin after Nov. 2.
I live in Wisconsin, so let me rant for a minute.
We the people elected the man to be our governor. We voted because Scott Walker made his intention to cut spending dramatically very clear in his platform. Even the liberal Milwaukee Journal Sentinel endorsed Scott Walker for governor.
If you're reading this, and a conservative or someone who says they love our democratic process, you should be FRIGHTENED BEYOND BELIEF.
Why?
Because -- as I've seen living in the heart of this drama -- the Democrats/left has made two things very clear:
They are absolutely the wholly owned subsidiaries of the unions.
The left will do anything and everything in its ability to retain and/or regain power.
The first point was probably well-know if you've been paying attention. Unions give massive amounts of money to Democrat candidates and political causes. The Democrats are wetting themselves because they see Walker's about to turn off the spigot.
What's more galling is that in Wisconsin, a lot of public-sector jobs require that you join a union. The state automatically takes your dues and the union then gives that money to the left. If you're a schoolteacher (like I want to be) and a conservative (like I am), your paycheck is going to fund candidates and causes you are politically and/or morally opposed to. More than that, since these jobs are paid for by taxes, the unions are using taxpayer money to buy political favor with leftist politicians.
Imagine the outrage if the right had such a deal with unions.
The second point includes all the lefties -- including the 14 AWOL Wisconsin Democrat Senators -- who now believe they have the "right" to rollback the November 2010 election simply because they didn't like the outcome.
From the second the November 2010 election results came in, the liberals I know on FB were miserable. Some equated Scott Walker to McCarthy, others mocked Ron Johnson (Wisconsin Senator who replaced Russ Feingold) as "stupid." The hatred and vitriol was palpable.
If you've paid any attention to the debate, you see the same meme coming to the forefront. Scott Walker is now a "dictator" who is refusing to "negotiate" with people. The left is beside themselves.
So they are working to undermine democracy. Some are even attempting to recall Governor Walker - who's done nothing to deserve it. Except maybe fulfill his campaign promises.
I distinctly remember Obama getting up on television in 2009 and telling everyone: I won.
There was no debate. No room for negotiation.
So the left -- now that the shoe is on the other foot -- defines not only unions as "rights" but democracy as "negotiation."
It's B.S.
If you support what Walker is doing, even if you don't live in Wisconsin, let him know. Follow him on Twitter @govwalker. Show the man he's got the support of lots more people than the childish protesters befouling the Capitol Building in Madison."
