I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. that form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. all eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. these are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.

Unbelievable, the signs carried by protesters. And the hateful rhetoric only comes the Left?
Unions aren't what you think they are:
I guess government shutdown isn't bad afterall:
Wisconsin backfiring on Dems:

Do you understand what the protesters are complaining about? "The measures causing all the ruckus in Wisconsin would require public-sector employees (excluding police and firefighters) to contribute half of their pension costs and at least 12 percent of their health care costs, which is a better deal than most Americans get. The public sector employees also would lose collective bargaining rights for anything other than pay. These are reasonable sacrifices to make in a time of fiscal crisis, and by resisting them, the demonstrators expose themselves as selfish and unreasonable." 5% towards retirement pensions and 12% towards health care coverage. In other words the state of Wisconsin was still willing to guarantee 95% of the pension, and 88% of the health care costs for state employees, and in doing so would be able to keep all current state employees, in a word, employed. That's it.
Good thing the vitriolic rhetoric has stopped:
Fake doctor's notes being handed out in Wisconsin
This isn't democracy. They're striking to PREVENT a democratic vote:
Obama has appointed a far left labor unionist to a security sensitive U.S. trade post -- and no one cares?
You still think there isn't a plan to fundamentally change the US?
Muslim cleric plans White House protest to attempt to spread Sharia law in America:

What is at stake in Wisconsin? Power of the unions.
Being told the truth and they riot:
Wisconsin isn't Egypt -- it's Greece:
Follow the money: Dems and teacher's unions
Tennessee is next:
Let the defunding begin!:
Soros is pissed at Obama for letting the Republicans have a voice:
Slanted reporting from liberal newspaper? Say it ain't so!

Unemployment: 10%
Good. Czars for either party are not constitutional: House passes bill:
Net Neutrality (that's the FCC controlling the Internet which passed in December):
Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are 57% of the government budget this year:
No, running away from your responsibilities isn't doing your job:
Support for Wisconsin:

So, the question becomes, what are YOU going to do about it?
Pathetic and cowardly in Wisconsin:
The Democrat National Committee’s Organizing for America (along with their union boss buddies) are helping to orchestrate the “uprising” in Madison.
Believe the Left doesn't use violent rhetoric? Watch what's happening in Wisconsin:
Exactly. Do a Reagan on the strikers. Please.
Radical political correctness run amok
Will they wake up yet?
I like Paul Ryan on the budget:
