Teachers Speaking About Unions

The Truth about Teachers Unions from Union Facts on Vimeo.

This Can't Be a Healthy Attitude for the Republic

The SEIU is complaining that a Boy Scout's Eagle project was voluntary and as such no union employee was paid. They insist that no one should be clearing the pathways, planting flowers or any other activity because then someone isn't getting paid. Do we really want to live in a society where volunteers are intimidated by unions from volunteering?

Jay Leno Interviews President Obama

Oversight? What's that?

I was an auditor for several years and so when I watched this video it made me ill. No one seems to be minding the store at the Fed. I suppose there's plenty of room for debate about whether the lack of oversight is intentional or unintentional, but whatever the answer, it's not comforting.

The Government Can!

A very good friend of mine pointed this video out to me. It will make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Lockerbie Tragedy Offends Again

Wow. What is there to say about a judge who releases a mass-murderer on "compassionate" grounds to go home and die with his loved ones around him. The families of the victims, understandably, are outraged. I find it unbelievable that this man would be allowed to go free when he should have been executed to begin with. He didn't have the compassion to let the 270 people aboard Pan Am 103 go home and live out their lives. He ripped them from their loved ones. What compassion has he earned? He sacrificed his right to live in civilized society when he murdered 270 people. Dying in jail alone with cancer seems like cosmic justice in this case.

Pelosi: I Love Disruptors!

I want to be clear and say that I think that the disruptive town hall meetings are completely unproductive. It doesn't change any minds. It probably feels good to vent but it doesn't advance their agenda. However, I find it hilarious to watch the Democrats call the agitators Un-American. When the same kind of tactics were used during the Bush administration the Democrats found them patriotic. As soon as those same tactics are used against them suddenly they are Un-American. The Irony Police have gone home because the work-load is overwhelming. (For those who think I'm some die-hard Republican Bush-supporter, there's just no helping you. I didn't like Bush and I thought the same tactics were fruitless and unproductive when Code Pink and their allies were doing it.)

Health Care Meeting

I thought I would post some videos of health care meetings that are going on around the country. It's astounding to me that the politicians don't stop to wonder why so many people are against government health care. There is some rough language for a couple of seconds in this video.
