It’s not a party. It’s a criminal organization;
The early-morning paramilitary-style raids on citizens’ homes were conducted by law enforcement officers, sometimes wearing bulletproof vests and lugging battering rams, pounding on doors and issuing threats. Spouses were separated as the police seized computers, including those of children still in pajamas. Clothes drawers, including the children’s, were ransacked, cellphones were confiscated and the citizens were told that it would be a crime to tell anyone of the raids.
Some raids were precursors of, others were parts of, the nastiest episode of this unlovely political season, an episode that has occurred in an unlikely place. This attempted criminalization of politics to silence people occupying just one portion of the political spectrum has happened in Wisconsin, which often has conducted robust political arguments with Midwestern civility.
And it will remain so, as long as the country is headquartered in Chicago.
Has the correction started yet? Hard to tell with the MSM narrative focused on the illegitimacy of patriotism.
The raids describe are no different than a similar activity that happened in High River Alberta during the floods last year. The RCMP were used to send a message to a community that dared to support a party other than the governing party. The enquiry by the commission to investigate RCMP coverups, has remained silent. Calls for a judicial enquiry have gone unanswered. People who ask questions are branded as fanatics. The MSM with the exception of Lorne Gunter are silent or supportive of the government actions. The government in Alberta is every bit as much gangster government as the Democratic party.
“…conservative individuals and groups, harassed and intimidated, have gone into a defensive crouch,…”
And there you have it folks. Must be getting kind of crowded under that “conservative” bed.
I have a friend who uses a better weed than your current one m. Theres no comparison between unoccupied houses and houses with little children and families occupying them. Gunter should find a new hobby horse, he’s rode that one into the ground.
So, Democrats practicing Soviet KGB style tactics. Why am I not surprised.
bartinsky, why is it that people who don’t agree must always demean someone else or toss slurs. Intimidation is real, whether someone is in the house or not. A message is being sent. I want Gunter to keep digging until the truth comes out. Now that post media has bought the sun, I suspect he will be relieved of duty, doesn’t fit with the liberal agenda. The Commission should be ashamed. A full year has passed and they have reported nothing.
The corrupt political symbiosis of statism and Union thuggery (on steroids when in the public sector) has been challenged in Wisconsin by Governor Walker with support of the citizenry and it is natural that the underlying coercive precepts upon which both (statism and unions) are premised be used against that challenge. Constitutions, unaccompanied by a population lacking in eternal vigilance can’t prevent such abuse.
Partisan elected State Attorney Generals don’t help either.
This kind of thing is SOP in Ontario. Talk to Gary McHale, that guy was getting arrested about once a week for a while there. They have a habit of visiting windmill opponents and Lanark county farmers too.
Big government, always the same.
Confiscation on spec….
“ARNOLDS PARK, Iowa — For almost 40 years, Carole Hinders has dished out Mexican specialties at her modest cash-only restaurant. For just as long, she deposited the earnings at a small bank branch a block away — until last year, when two tax agents knocked on her door and informed her that they had seized her checking account, almost $33,000.
The Internal Revenue Service agents did not accuse Ms. Hinders of money laundering or cheating on her taxes — in fact, she has not been charged with any crime. Instead, the money was seized solely because she had deposited less than $10,000 at a time, which they viewed as an attempt to avoid triggering a required government report.
‘How can this happen?’ Ms. Hinders said in a recent interview. ‘Who takes your money before they prove that you’ve done anything wrong with it?’
The federal government does.”

You are mistaken about High River, “m” is correct.
yes, suppression has many forms, but just one intent, success by what ever means
I have a friend who uses a better weed than your current one m. Theres no comparison between unoccupied houses and houses with little children and families occupying them. Gunter should find a new hobby horse, he’s rode that one into the ground.

Care to repeat that comment in English Bartinsky? I have no idea what you are trying to say.
Of course “m” is right. For some reason bartinsky has an affinity for the Alberta PC, which by the way has become a corrupt liberal in disguise conservative party. Prentice will not improve it either.
“Theres no comparison between unoccupied houses and houses with little children and families occupying them.”
What? They were raiding unoccupied houses in High River? I thought they were merely performing a rescue mission and accidentally finding firearms left there in plain sight. Are you accusing the honorable Alberta Rubber Booted Thugs, of actually intentionally raiding the houses of gun owners? Next thing you’ll tell us that they used the registry that they are not supposed to have. Oh my.
However, bartinsky doesn’t seem to have an affinity with English – As we know it – or should! “He’s rode that one ….”. That can’t be right – can it?
