MATT WELCH: Is This How A President Should Act? “Just think–there once was a time (for more than a century, actually), when the president of the United States thought it too imperious to deliver the State of the Union via a speech to a joint session of Congress, since that would smack of telling a co-equal branch of government what to do. Now we have a president not just taking rhetorical sides in a state issue, but actively mobilizing his political organization to affect the outcome(s), even though (to my knowledge) nothing that Gov. Walker or any other belated statehouse cost-cutter is doing has a damned thing to do with federal law. . . . We are witnessing the logical conclusion of the Democratic Party’s philosophy, and it is this: Your tax dollars exist to make public sector unions happy.”

ORGASM, INC: Will You Love or Hate This Documentary about the Search for a Female Viagra? Quite possibly neither. But I like this: “The unexpected star of the film is Stuart Meloy, a North Carolina anesthesiologist implanting electrodes into the spines of women who want to have orgasms. There’s something weirdly likable about him, demonstrating insertion of an electrode with a model of the human spine. A remote control completes the package which Meloy has christened the ‘Orgasmatron,’ after a device in Woody Allen’s 1973 comedy ‘Sleeper.'”

Plus this: “When it comes to sexual pleasure, we still have double standards. We’re often paranoid about drug companies and doctors such as Melroy selling orgasms to women, yet we don’t assume there’s a conspiracy when the guys are being offered Viagra. Is that because we still think satisfaction is optional for women and necessary for men?”

STEPHEN GREEN: An open letter to Mr. DailyKos. Short and brutal. “The Tea Party is doing what it can to hold our elected officials accountable to their election promises. Your people are doing their best to intimidate our elected officials into pretending last November never happened. . . . Anyway, yes, I suppose now is your time in the sun. It’s been quite the education for the country at large, I think.”

WHO’S BEEN “OVERREACHING?” In the Washington Post, Jennifer Rubin slaps around E.J. Dionne. “Overreach would be choosing extra-legislative means (flight) to prevent the voters’ elected representatives from working their will. Overreach would be threatening Republican officials in their homes. Overreach would be a flurry of Hitlerian imagery (good for the National Jewish Democratic Council in denouncing the widespread signage, but where is the George Soros-backed Jewish Funds for Justice and the anti-Glenn Beck crowd when you need them?) Overreach would be a massive sick-out, in essence a dishonest strike. (The schools should dock pay for anyone not actually ill who didn’t show up.)”

Two quick things.

Tea Partiers should be taking shifts forming human shields around the houses of threatened representatives (and being as polite, respectful and peaceful as they always are) to protect them from the violent leftists. Think of the videos on that one.

and

People should be looking for pictures of their children’s teachers at the protest. If they have insane placards then complain politely to the school board about the behavior. Something along the lines of ” I saw my son’s teacher -fill in the name- with a picture comparing Governor Walker to Hitler and a bulls eye on him. Considering the elevated rhetoric and the recent incidents of violence I am not comfortable with an individual advocating violence in a classroom environment with my child.” – All politics are local

Time to punch back twice as hard but without the violence and hate of the Left.

KIMBERLEY STRASSEL: Congress Finally Earns Its Pay: Unlike years past, the budget debates in the House were vigorous and democratic, not stage-managed by the leadership of the majority party. “The Democrats’ style of management—on ObamaCare, cap and trade, financial regulation, stimulus—was to secretly craft bills and ram through a vote, denying members a chance to read, to debate, to amend. They learned this from former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who infamously micro- managed his GOP majority from 2003-2005. The House had become a place where the leadership called all the shots and the majority saluted. But this week the country witnessed the House coming together to argue over and exercise its foremost responsibility: power over the purse. And from the look of the amendments, both sides were eager to use that funding authority to put the Obama policy machine on notice.”

STEVE HAYWARD: “If ever there was a time for the Tea Party movement to take to the streets, it’s now in Ground Zero in Madison, Wisconsin — and other state capitals, from the sound of the news that the unions want to organize rallies in Ohio and Indiana as well. Just winning a big election isn’t enough.” They’ve been out in Ohio already.
