Teacher Unions

By Mark Wallace on March 10, 2011

Unions are one of the biggest problems in America. Why? For starters, consider this. No one ever got to be union president by assuring her rank-and-file that the glass is half full. Union leaders are always entirely about creating discontent among the rank-and-file, even when none would exist without their efforts. Why? Because if they don’t, they know they will be challenged for union leadership by even more militant cronies. Therefore, the inexorable trend within any union is to create (not recognize the existence of, but create) more and more discontented members.

WI Union Debate ENDS Without Dem Senators

By Craig Andresen on March 9, 2011

The long and drawn out fight in Wisconsin over public sector union bargaining came to a swift and sudden this evening as WI republicans and Governor Walker separated the bargaining part of the bill from the finance section. The senate quickly voted 18-1 and collective bargaining in WI came to an end!

The 14 run away democrat senators were nowhere to be found. The move came one day after those missing 14 turned down an offer from the Governor to make some concessions. Not only did they turn it down flat, they were quite dismissive of the effort calling it simply out of the question, unhelpful and not serious.

Proof of Evolution of the Liberal Gene

By Patty Ewing Robichaud on March 8, 2011

Perhaps you heard the big brouhaha when a Liberal Gene was discovered by science and announced in October 2010. (See the Science Daily story here.)

I have also pondered the similarities between Jimmy Carter and Barak Obama in their “leadership” style and above average liberalism.

Well, after many hours of researching and cocktailing, I have had my EUREKA moment!

I shared my brilliant (yet slurred) insight with a family member and he found photographic proof of not only the evolution of the liberal gene – but of the evolution of those possessing it. It clearly began with the great apes – the ones who would steal a banana from one clan mate to give to another…

But I digress…

My Beef with Public Sector Unions and the Goons Who Defend Them

By Patty Ewing Robichaud on March 7, 2011

“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” – Thomas Jefferson

One of the big stories dominating the news is the crisis in Wisconsin and the problem a the public sector union. Public opinion is divided, and the liberal media is only telling part of the story.

Union members would tell you that they are protecting their own. Liberals will tell you that unions are good and true champions of the middle class.  In fact, some of the latest assaults on on those opposing union rule are becoming more subtle and try to assure the reader of their “truth.”

Leadership Lost

By Craig Andresen on March 7, 2011

As the violence in Libya moves into its third week with Gadiffi continuing to use his weapons of war against his own people, the Obama administration continues to duck its responsibility. The world wonders why? So do I.

There was a time when the world looked to Washington in times of trouble the likes of which we now see in Libya. They looked for leadership, for action and for the protection of those who reached out for freedom. The United States stood for and WITH freedom. Seemingly and sadly, that is no longer the case.

Tired of Hearing That 2 Wars Caused the Deficit?

Ever get into a debate about the deficit and someone brings up the idea that the 2 wars are the root cause? Maybe you should show them this!

Why I Support Jon Huntsman Jr.

By Jennifer Stephens on March 6, 2011

Why I support Jon Huntsman Jr.

Huntsman is a moderate, which may lead some to call him a Republican in Name Only (RINO), but I think it would be much more accurate to call him a realist. By making compromises on the some issues, he gains goodwill (or debts, to look at it another way) that can be used to get votes he needs on other, more important, issues. Or accepting a compromise can keep things from going too far. For example, compromising domestic partnerships, to keep the issue from getting to actual same sex marriages. This is something he did while Governor of Utah.

Communications Matter

By Patty Ewing Robichaud on March 6, 2011

If there’s one thing I love, it is debating with liberals. In fact, this is a new revelation for me as I never argued politics until 2008.

Let’s face it, in the 2008 election, conservatives got stomped on. Were we wrong? No – clearly not. However, I believe we were not prepared for the radical war of words, actions and ideology we encountered.

Heck, even Hillary Clinton wasn’t prepared! She and her campaign were bullied out of arguably her right to run as the Democratic candidate for president by thugs invading her rallies.

Liberals VS the Second Amendment

By Craig Andresen on March 6, 2011

Seemingly, it happens whenever there is a high profile event with dire consequences. It has happened before and it WILL happen again. Someone unhinged goes off and starts shooting. People get hurt, people die. It happens, somewhere, every day but only when it happens in a high profile situation do the liberals/socialists come out step up and proclaim they have the only sensible answer to future acts of madness.
