God in Wisconsin: Scott Walker's Obedience - Christianity for the Rest of Us

Unlike the Roman Catholics and traditional Protestants who have spoken on behalf of the laborers, Walker has no spiritual "check" on him, no authority other than the ones he hears in his own head, and no moral culpability in this situation. He's the good Christian soldier, just following God's lead.

And this is why Scott Walker's religion is actually dangerous in the public square. Because it lacks the ability to compromise, it is profoundly anti-democratic. Many faith traditions actually possess deep spiritual resources that allow them to participate in pluralistic, democratic, and creative political change. But those sort of traditions tend emphasize the love of God and neighbor over strict obedience to an unyielding Father God. Unlike the confident dictum of the old hymn, "Trust and Obey" is not the best way to govern a state.

Man, we're screwed.........

Sen. Fitzgerald: Senate Dems' committee votes will not be counted or recorded

"Please note that all 14 Democrat senators are still in contempt of the Senate," Fitzgerald wrote in an email Monday afternoon that was posted on wispolitics.com "Therefore, when taking roll call votes on amendments and bills during executive sessions, Senate Democrats' votes will not be reflected in the Records of Committee Proceedings or the Senate Journal."........
"In my career of 50 some years I have never come across a situation where the majority leader of any party could determine that the votes of another party could not count," said Risser. "This is the height of arrogance...........
Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate condemed Fitzgerald's move in a statement saying "Republican State Senators weren't content with stripping thousands of working families of their voice in the workplace, now they want to strip them of their voice in state government as well. Scott Walker must end Scott Fitzgerald's move to silence senators that represent more than two million Wisconsinites and immediately restore their voting rights.".............
