Video: Wisconsin Capitol Police Taking Sides and Taking it Personal

This is a very telling video on a couple of fronts. First, central issue involves a War Memorial inside the Capitol. Leftists who have decided to camp out inside the Capitol have decided to use the Memorial as a storage area for their belongings, sleeping bags, etc. The person with the camera has requested police to show up. When they do, the lead officer asks what's going on; when the woman with the camera asks for assistance in clearing away the belongings from the Memorial, he appears confused as to what to do - possibly because many of his fellow officers (possibly him) have taken the side of the protesters.

Note that as soon as the officer realizes he has a bit of a problem with defending the desecration of a War Memorial, he demands not to be recorded. When the woman seeks out other officers, it's the same thing.

I hate to say it but Gov. Walker needs to go Ronald Reagan on these derelict cops and start firing or he's going to have to bring in the Wisconsin National Guard soon.

John Cornyn Gets Earful from Voters

h/t to Michelle Malkin for providing a link to the video of Texas Senator John Cornyn speaking at the Texas Capital on July 4th.

For those familiar with my show, I have been extremely critical of John Cornyn on a few fronts (his voting for TARP and his position on Sonia Sotomayor among them). Voters are so fed up with their politicians not listening to them and they may have walked away mad after John Cornyn was done talking but they weren't mad because he wasn't listening....

Oh, he heard them loud and clear.... Keep watching after the crowd dies down during Cornyn's paying tribute to the military. After he's done doing that and goes on to chastise Washington as almost a non-participatory observer, one protestor yells, "You're the PROBLEM!"



On March 26th, during an interview with Lynn Woolley Cornyn said he voted for TARP because he didn't understand enough about the issue and relied on advisors who told him Hank Paulson was the "smartest man on the planet". Like in the above video where Cornyn points a finger at Washington, D.C. when there were four pointing back at him, during the Woolley interview, he said Paulson "was wrong" without accepting blame himself.

My point then was that Cornyn apparently thought Paulson was smarter than his constituents because he chose to listen to the former as the latter told him overwhelmingly NOT to vote for TARP.

I'd like to ask a question of Mr. Cornyn...

How does it feel knowing that your constituents are smarter than the "smartest man on the planet"?
