Here in Wisconsin

People like to make with the jokes about the authoritarian tendencies lying latent within the Tea Party/Conservative/Republican alliance. Well, in the wake of his decision to unilaterally revoke unions, Walker
made the dramatic announcement this morning that he is prepared to call in the Wisconsin National Guard to respond if there is any unrest among state employees in the wake of his announcement that he wants to revoke nearly all of their collective bargaining rights.
Walker said he has not called the National Guard into action, but he has briefed them and other state agencies in preparation of any labor problems.
It would be nice if once when one of these folks sees a problem, they decide that the solution lies in something other than waging war on it. Let's hope that some, if not all, of the Nat Guard members, who aren't already overseas, are union members.  They could save as ton of money by repressing themselves in the quiet of their own home.
