Fascism is here, says Sean Cranley in a JT commentary. If you manage to ignore the usual blather - comparisons to Mussolini etc..._ that make up 95% of the screed and search hard for the scary facts, well, here they are: Robin Vos is apparently chairman of ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) Wisconsin and he attended their national convention.
There is so little "there" there that it is no wonder Sean has to hyperventilate about fascism, secret organizations run by scary corporations intent to "take power away from the people and enact laws favorable to mega-global corporations" blah blah blah.
Last time I checked, people, via voluntary association with others, still have the right to petition their government. That is what ALEC and virtually every other lobbying outfit does. It is true of course that some such associations have undue influence that is harmful to society - government unions come to mind- but the real problem with ALEC is that Sean disagrees with their agenda.
To which I respond with a big Hitleresque yawn.

Heh...this time you are right on the mark. Sean definitely seems off his meds in the commentary...of course his Blue Racine posts are little better.
Dude is several fries short of a happy meal.
Did Obama not speak at the annual AFL-CIO convention?
Did Wirch not have his victory party at da union hall?
What is this Sean guy talking about??
I wish people with a cerebral cortex got more attention than Seany. Society drools over every move a Kardashian makes yet what did any of the best 20,000 scientists do recently? Whatever.
Geez, I missed out on his commentary. Too bad, eh? Sorry, but did I really miss anything? (Turning really purple trying not to laugh!)
You think this just relates to Robbin Vos? HA!

Wow, elected representatives belong to an organization! A political one at that!! That promotes conservative ideas!!! This is an outrage!! There goes the country!! Armageddon is upon us!!!
No, sorry, can't really muster up any outrage over this. Yawn.
Elected representatives acting as if free assembly is Constitutionally guaranteed? Outrage!
Looks like a really distinguished group based on your list, Sean. Wouldn't mind hanging with them one bit. Thanks for your hard work (at cutting an pasting off one of your thug websites.) How do I join up?
Oh there are a lot more names where those came from.
Look, I know if I say something is black and back it up, you clowns will proclaim it's white because, well you say so. But did any of you genious' actually explore the information in the links I provided? I doubt it. Remember the JT only gives you 250 words, not much room to expound on any complicated issue in any detail and that is where the devil lies.
If you had you informed yourselves, instead knee jerking you wouldn't credibly call what is going on with the Fascist American Legislative Exchange Council (FALEC) petitioning the government. This is corporations BECOMING the government, writing the legislation to serve their interests, not yours and have it secretly (until now) enacted in states across the nation. You may think that is O.K. (I don't), but you should at least know about in the interest of informed consent of the people, a little concept the founders were big on.
Another mistake Denis made was saying that I made comparisons to Mussolini. Not true. I used Mussolini, the founder of fascism, to define fascism, which he said should be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power. Which is EXACTLY was is going on here.
Did you guys know that Robbin Vos, like his counter-parts in other states, has a state FALEC co-chair who is an industry executive, whose role is to ensure the Vos enacts the FALEC legislation as he has sworn to? The Co-chair's identity is kept secret. Why do you suppose that is? It ain't on the up and up.
What else do you suppose you don't know? Aren't you curious?
