Your Motto Is ‘Forward’, Knucklehead

Somebody tell this twerp on video over at Althouse’s site that Wisonsin’s motto is ‘Forward’. SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS is the motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

One is tempted to say that the public sector unions are behaving tyrannically in Wisconsin, but that gives the unions too much credit. They’re behaving in an inept, infantile fashion.

If Scott Walker actually was a tyrant, and we allow that Caesar was also such, I’d reply to this knob:

Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris
“If Caesar lived, you’d be chained to an oar”

While I don’t actually want to see anyone enslaved, I do wish these goobers could taste the absence of liberty long enough to mature them a bit.

    Some of us have to give up some liberty so we can protect the liberties of even those who would besmirch our great country, if ya catch my drift.

    Maybe he’s a transplanted Virginian?

    The leftoid said “SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS” because it sounds better than “Forward!”

    The International Brotherhood of Chained Oarsmen takes umbrage at your aspersions towards our god, Caesar.

    It wouldn’t do them a damn bit of good. If it had any effect it would be to make them that much meaner and more determined. Some people seem to have a natural tendency to want a nanny state big government entity running everything. I don’t think they really see a contradiction with the constitution and with the ideals of freedom. People see what they want to see. If they were in chains long enough and come back, they’d probably put more effort into prison reform, and that’s about it.

    Pulled an oar once on a recreated Viking longship.  Awesome workout.

    No, the leftoid said “sic semper tyrannis” in an oblique reference to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln…. as if he’d have either the stones or the weapons skills to carry it out on Walker.

    No, you go to the Althouse site. I’m finished. Stacey was correct, you are wrong. Will you soon be linking all day to MMc as well?

    Maybe he needs a brain transplant?

    I’m sure I’m not the only one here who would be willing to help them with this.
