Wisconsin Protesters Sing "Les Miz"

A few good pro-union songs in Billy Elliot too.

Partners plastic artists of USA, share your activities with the manifesting workpeople, painting big Guernikas and hanging them on every village and city of USA.nnEstrellacometa

So this is the new French Revolution? The original ended badly. I prefer the American Revolution.

Perhaps if you’d done something worthwhile with your time in high school instead of playing games, you wouldn’t be so resentful of others now.

It ended badly for the aristocrats, maybe Walker and the Koch brothers should read up on French history. They may win this battle but they are outnumbered by the “peasants” and when gas hits $5 bucks a gallon and all workers (not just union workers) see their paychecks getting slashed the guillotines will come out.

Hold on, *are* there people who didn’t commit Les Mis to memory in their teen years? Where were their priorities?

Wow, it’s always fascinating when a comment reveals so much more about the speaker than it does about his ostensible subject. Like, say, that his worldview is still stuck in a high-school mentality.

Jack,nnPlease, tell us some high school football stories? I bet you were as good as you remember.

How long have you had this blood-lust? Are you seriously thinking about killing people? I am sad for you. Holding on to hate will destroy you. By the way, I thought that you people were supposed to be the civil side. You are the people motivated by greed and jealousy. God have mercy on you.

These girly-boy replies are hilarious! They are soooo sensitive!

Yea you like to brag. Just read your posts.

Let’s see you don’t have time to listen to protestors yet you have time to comment on an article about it?

“Maybe they could use some of this spare time to take voice lessons and a class on economics. “nHmm, let me hear you say “Perhaps after the revolution they will learn how to sing in the proper key.” (Rod Seiger’s character, Viktor Komarovsky, in Dr. Zhivago). You sound like a soul mate to Komarovsky.n

Well, I thought it clever at the time. (kicks foot in the dirt)nKomarovsky: u041au043eu043cu0430u0440u043eu0432u0441u043au0438u0439 : Ku043eu043cu0430u0440 n

Did a little research for you, Bloody Chandra. Over 40,000 people were executed during the French Revolution. Many children were killed. (That should make you especially happy.) It ended with Napolean, a dictator. Stalin and Mao killed tens of millions of peasants in their revolutions. Be careful of what you wish for.nnGas is going to be $5 a gallon because your hero, Obama the lesser, has shut down drilling all over the US. They are killing the coal industry, too. Can’t wait to pay that electric bill. Food is going sky high all over the world because your guy is putting corn into gas tanks. Wise up, Chandra. Pay for your concerts. The free ones could cost all of our freedom.

Like shooting fish in a barrel! LOL

I think you are in love with Jack

Hey tough guy,nnThis is more inspired than your cohorts who dress up like it is 1776. nnBTW I teach economics and supply-side theory is a joke, just ask Reagan’s former budget director David Stockman.nnOnce a bully, always a bully I suppose.

You are defending your nation in a comments section?nnSeriously? Talk about delusions of grandeur.nnBut Jack, you and your buddy Tom Clancy should dress up in your fatigues and go play soldier in the woods.

Actually, I agree that most of the population is unbelievably ignorant, and desperately needs to be educated in finance and economics. (this includes both far left and far right).

Shooting fish in a barrel would be unsporting.

I can’t help but wonder if Jack is a shoe salesman like Al Bundy. Did you score four touchdowns in a single game too? Jack, if you were really that awesome, shouldn’t you be referring to your college football days. High school? Really? nnYou have to admit that the protesters are pretty radical. How dare they want the same rights that non-government unions receive. Crazy. nOf course we don’t have collective bargaining in Virginia and the benefits are still pretty good.

I can’t help but wonder if Jack is a shoe salesman. Didn’t Al Bundy brag about making four touchdowns in a single game in high school? Of course if you were really that good, you would be bragging about your college football days. High School? Really? Let’s remember that without the arts we would be very bored. No TV, music, or movies. No sound effects, lighting technicians, actors, singers, animators, photographers, camera men, etc etc etc. We wouldn’t even be able to watch football on tv. Who would run the cameras? Who would post the replays? nnIn reference to Wisconsin:nnWe don’t have collective bargaining in VA and the benefits are still pretty good. The health insurance is good and the amount taken out of your paycheck is reasonable.

Jack,nnMy mistake. The only place I see “trickle down” used seriously these days is when describing what happens to an improperly cooked souffle.nnBut I beg you Jack, as someone who is such and important figure in the US government that you spend less time in these chat rooms and more time investigating blimps that might be carrying a nuclear warhead to the next Super Bowl.nnSemper fi,nseospider

Thank you for sharing this. If you listen closely, you will hear that the words we sang that day at the Capitol (in the last hours before people were asked to leave) were changed slightlynnChorus-nDo you hear the people sing?nSinging the song of working men….nnAnd in the first verse-nBeyond the mass paradesnnAnd the second verse-nSome will stand and some will fallnWill you stand up and take your chance?nLet’s fill the rotunda ntil everyone joins in the chantsnnRemember- these are peaceful protests :)

I find it quite amusing that I found this while watching Les Mis on PBS.

Daddy laid down the law and all the children can do is throw a fit. They are going to throw a fit.
