A Wisconsin blogger has asked an important question regarding the celebrations -- the "glory" -- at the end of the road when questionable tactics wereused to achieve victory. In other words, do the means justify the ends? I've clipped some quotes from the blog.
The blog continues, citing a few instances meant to support the idea that one side of the Wisconsin divide is using questionable means to accomplish their end goal -- that one side has crossed a line.
What do you think? Which side is being criticized? (You can check out this link to find out the answer, but try to guess the answer on your own first.)
- Our ethics is what holds the whole democracy ball together.
- The system we honor allows for a seemingly endless opportunity to initiate, argue, and communicate our political stance through elections, legislative efforts, and following the rules of political engagement.... We can engage in a myriad of activities to express and legislate our convictions.
- All of this activity of democracy rides upon a single track. We agree to follow the rules of engagement. No matter how strongly we feel about any issue, political gain, or legislative action -- we agree to stay within the rules of engagement.
- [A group] has, I fear, become drunk with new found power and allowed their strength of purpose to promulgate activities to manipulate, bend, or ignore rules so they can do what is best for Wisconsin.
- Oh, your followers will laud your accomplishments until the inevitable day when they learn how you went outside the rules and were using steroids.
