Wisconsin Cowardice: Democrat Politicians Flee State to Avoid Union Vote
A group of Democratic Wisconsin lawmakers blocked passage of a sweeping anti-union bill Thursday, refusing to show up for a vote and then abruptly leaving the state in an effort to force Republicans to the negotiating table.
As ever-growing throngs of protesters filled the Capitol for a third day, the 14 Democrats disappeared around noon, just as the Senate was about to begin debating the measure, which would end a half-century of collective bargaining rights for most public employees.
Hours later, one member of the group told The Associated Press that they had left Wisconsin.

My Funding Valentine: House Targets 100 Billion in Cuts
If there’s anyone who doesn’t feel the love this Valentine’s Day, it’s the organizations on the Left. Late Friday, House leaders came back to the table with a second budget–and to the disappointment of most liberal groups, it hit the $100 billion bulls-eye. The casualties of these latest cuts happen to be some of the Democrats’ biggest allies: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS and NPR), the Corporation for National Service (Americorps), Legal Services Corporation, Title X “Family Planning” programs (Planned Parenthood), and others. After some frank conversations, House leaders took the advice of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and FRC to hack away as much as possible in this first go-round of the continuing resolution (CR). For years, the liberal political establishment has treated the government like an ATM, withdrawing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for causes that Washington has no business funding. Most Americans have no idea that this symbiotic relationship between liberal politicians and organizations exists. Yet year after year, Democrats funnel our money to their friends, who in turn, help keep those leaders in power.

Obama’s Dunce Director of “National Intelligence” James Clapper Is All Wrong About the Muslim Brotherhood
The Brotherhood has not only described itself as an Islamist group, committed to implementing Sharia law, it spawned Egyptian Islamic Jihad — which offed Anwar Sadat in 1981 and later joined forces with Al Qaeda. Another Brotherhood offshoot is Hamas, the terrorist group that holds Gaza in its bloody grip. Its no fan of the Camp David peace accords with Israel, either.
Though Clappers office has reportedly “clarified” his remarks, the damage has been done. The DNIs testimony makes it appear that the U.S. government either doesnt know the facts on the ground in Egypt or has mistakenly concluded that we shouldnt be concerned about the Brotherhood being large and in charge of that strategic Mideastern country. Either case is troubling.
