Union Terrorism

It is time for Americans to fight back against union tyranny and terrorism.

Phone lines cut in Pennsylvania, an open shop contractor in Toledo, Ohio suffered a gunshot wound after suffering from vandalism and intimidation, tires slash, windows broken, workers stalked by union goons – all this is in the name of union activity. That a private contractor, John King, would have been attacked at him home shot in his left arm, fortunately just a single shot, under these terms paints a much bigger picture. The Union Movement, in these cases electronic workers, take the left-wing notion of the ends justify the means, and quite simply are guilty of DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

Cutting phone lines not only disrupts service but in so doing prevents live saving communication including 911 calls to go through as well as necessary communication in the name of public safety. Trespassing and destroying private property and engaging in physical violence is NEVER justified, but going as far as attempted murder at a private residence takes the matter to a higher level.

We’ve seen how the mob rules technique, in essence rioting in Wisconsin, through its state capital into a complete shutdown for weeks as the Republican legislature attempted to wrestle with serious state budget issues requiring some rollbacks on union benefits.

These extreme examples show that breaking the law is no big deal to union goons who have a long history of violence against those who get in their way. It also highlights what is at the core of union activity; the ends always justify the means. When it comes to breaking the law, just don’t get caught. If caught, point the finger outside the movement.

After years in decline significantly hastened by the Air Traffic Controllers’ illegal strike resulting in President Ronald Reagan firing those who refused a back to work order, the unions put tremendous effort into supporting pro-labor candidates in the 2008 election. With the public frustration with the economy blaming the outgoing Bush administration as the scapegoat, the Democratic Party was poised for huge gains. The unions put their money where their subversive mouth was giving huge sums of money to their candidates particularly Barack Obama, a once in a century left-wing activist with a pure socialist view toward public policy.

Never before has the Union movement had a more sympathetic and unrestrained supporter than the Obama administration who openly support even some of the most extreme union demands. The “Card Check” proposal that would ban secret ballots in union certification votes is one such item. Employees deserve the right to be able to vote privately whether they support union representation. Under “Card Check” union loyalists would circulate the place of employment soliciting votes in person potentially subjecting them to intimidation from mild to severe to support the union position.

Showing unprecedented support for Labor, the Obama packed, National Labor Relations Board is attempting to forbid Boeing from opening a new factory in South Carolina, a right-to-work state, instead of expanding its manufacturing presence in Washington, a pro-union state attempting to punish a major United States corporation for seeking greener pastures. The long term result, why should American companies build product in the United States when they can do so overseas without such costly restrictions.

Is it any wonder that union goons would feel emboldened to commit acts of treachery when they feel so much support at the highest level in the Federal Government? The Obama Administration’s stance of unions is one of the most compelling reasons why Americans who believe in personal freedom, free enterprise, and the rule of law must defeat his administration and his supporters on Capitol Hill in the next election. The need to take on unions is even more crucial on the state level where union contracts have crippled and bankrupted many states’ ability to function financially.

It’s hard to judge which label is more onerous, “Made in China” or the Union label. Pick your poison. Neither are doing the American economy any good.

Whatever Happened to Night Sticks and Mase?

Observe this. How low will unions go supporting their self-serving causes?  How hateful it is that public employees loaded with perks that most private sector employees can't even dream of act as if they are not only entitled to pay and benefits they do not deserve but can act above the law, damage property, disturb the peace, and interfere with wonderful beneficial activities like special Olympics to show their contempt for the person the people of their state elected governor.

Their bully tactics don't win them support it shows them to be the greedy assholes they truly are.

The proper way to deal with them would be to remove them forcefully if necessary and if that meant whacking some jerks with night sticks and spray a little pepper spray in their kissers is more than justified.

People deserve to hear speakers in public forums. Freedom of speech means speakers have the right to be heard and audiences have the right to hear without harassment and intimidation by a bunch of union THUGS. Organized activities like Special Olympics deserve to hold their events without the lowest scum who are only interested in their interests at the expense of society at large. It is the state's duty to protect such activities and keep them from being disrupted.

If anyone wonders why public education has become such a horrible joke one need look no further than who represents teachers as a bargaining union and the actions of the politicians they're able to muscle in to office. Real meaningful reform dies at every turn where these numbskull thugs get involved. Wisconsin is fighting the good fight to improve their substandard schools and the unions are fighting them at every turn.

That these goons would disrupt Special Olympics is likewise reflective of how little their teachers truly care about their students even using them as pawns to their political advantage attempting to indoctrinate them into their mindless campaign contrary to the will of the greater community.

Fire them if they're not doing their jobs. Arrest them if they're breaking the law. Use night sticks and pepper spray if they don't comply with orders to obe the peace.

Wisconsin Republicans Finally Act: Riot Ensues

The Republicans did what they had to do. With the Democratic senators refusing to show up as required by their oath of office for weeks, unable to pass a budget without a quorum, the Republicans did what they could do in light of the situation passing the reform legislation which restricted union privileges to return more autonomy to local school systems in making schools more fiscally responsible and able to regulate schools effectively versus unrealistic union expectations.

The herde mentality of the radical left roared. A riotous mob stormed the state capital forcing Republican legislators to flee for their personal safety. A riot ensued within the building.

THIS IS BEYOND CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. IT'S TIME FOR ARMED AUTHORITIES TO BREAK UP THIS INSURRECTION WITH FORCE IF NECESSARY TO RESTORE LAW AND ORDER. IF NIGHT STICKS, TEAR GAS, AND RUBBER BULLETS ARE NECESSARY -- SO BE IT.

IT'S TIME FOR REPUBLICANS AND ALL CONCERNED CITIZENS TO BREAKUP PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS, REVOKE ALL UNION PRIVILEGES THAT ALLOW FOR RIGHT TO STRIKE OR BINDING ARBITRATION WHERE BARGAINING IS ADVISORY IN NATURE SUBJECT TO EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL.

Make no mistake, the unions destroyed the domestic steel and auto industry. They are now hell bent on doing the same to states and localities through sheer lawlessness. This cannot be tolerated and must have severe consequences.

On the back of the teachers' insurrection and wildcat strike in Wisconsin, tax credits for private schools should be issued and money should be moved from public school budgets to reduce staff on a merit basis retaining the best teachers to create a voucher program on a needs based system for students to attend private and parochial schools.

More Insanity in Wisconsin -- UNION THUGS SHUT DOWN TOWNHALL

The news media will compare the union riot staged at a Wisconsin Townhall to citizens and tea party participants expresssing their views and venting some anger at Townhall meetings on Obamacare. Don't fall for the media lie!!!

The tea party people were not organized and directed to close down meetings. They did allow speakers to speak. They'd speak when it was their turn with passion and some got heated. They'd sneer and boo positions they didn't like but at least the speakers got their say in.

What you will see in this video is union thug activity. A coordianted attack to not allow an opposing view to speak. This is lawlessness and should be treated as such. Would it be to say that the greatest internal enemy to the United States is organized labor?  If it's not them who is it?




We would not see it over the line for those who continue to disrupt meetings like this after being warned not to to be arrested and prosecutived for disorderly conduct. If they were whacked with night sticks and sprayed with pepper spray, that's fine with me aside from how the press would make martyrs of such loathesome scum.

Wisconsin Senate Democrats: The Audacity of Idiocy

Picture this, the Wisconsin Senate Democrats who have left Wisconsin for Illinois to prevent votes on legislative matters they oppose and don't have the votes to defeat are demanding that Governor Scott Walker meet with them to discuss possible solutions or compromises. Under normal circumstances, that's how the political process works, but they have one stipulation, that Governor Walker must meet with them in Illinois. Following that logic then, should Maryland Republicans demand Governor Martin O'Malley meet with them in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia or York, Pennsylvania because they have concerns about the Democrats' desire to raise the Maryland gasoline tax?

There is a proper place for Wisconsin legislators to meet with the executive branch of the government. That's in the State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. The farce these renegade lawmakers are advancing is an insurrection against civil government in the state they were duly elected to represent by performing the lawful legislative functions they took a sacred oath to honor.

This is all show for a sympathetic media that supports their agenda. Their tactic allows them to go on camera claim they're trying to work things out and that the Governor is being unreasonable refusing to meet them to discuss their issues. What the media soft petals and what is the true matter of law is that their exit to Illinois is not just unreasonable, it's unlawful. The are purposely violating the law to shut down the legal conduct of state business.

Citizens who look clearly and open-mindedly at what is going on in Wisconsin can clearly see how out of line the Senate Democrats, the Wisconsin Teachers' unions, and their supporters are out of line. The news media is not doing its job to report the news objectively in an impartial manner.

Society should have nothing but pure contempt for those empowered to make the law so boisterously flaunting breaking the law. For such conduct there must be severe and shift consequences.

For whatever value audacity might hold, the Wisconsin Senators have more than adequately overwhelmed that with their pure idiocy.

It’s Time for Teachers to Grow Up: Guidelines for Teacher Conduct and Reform

It doesn't take a genius to figure out Public Education is a horrible mess and teachers are largely  to blame.

Any teacher who is not prepared to follow the same behavior standards he or she insists students follow does not belong in the classroom. It’s time for every educator to ponder what if society had the same kind of zero tolerance expectations of teachers that they impose on students.

Let’s consider the following questions.

1 – How would a teacher react if attempting to present a lesson had students shouting to drown out the lesson?

2 – How would a teach react if a student was mad at his or her school decided to stay home or hang around outside the school building raising a fuss then provided a fake doctors note or absence excuse for not being in school?

3 – How would teachers react if they couldn’t go to and from their parking lot into the school building and to their classroom without having mobs of angry students shouting at them and calling them names swarming all over them?

4 – If students did not think they were being treated fairly, how would teachers expect their students to address their gripes?

5 – How do teachers expect students to accept dealing with rules, discipline decisions, and grades on assignments that might seem harsh, unfair, or that they don’t agree with?

6 – Do teachers feel it is fair to grade students on their performance in the classroom based on objective or professional standards that assess the students’ progress in their classes? If “yes” explain why teacher object to being paid on the basis of their performance in the classroom? If “no” then should not students be given higher grades as they go from one year to the next? First graders would all get F’s. Second graders would get D’s. Third graders would get C’s. Fourth graders would get B’s, and then fifth grades would all get A’s then retire to middle school where they’d be guaranteed A’s all the time!!!

This is a very simple straight forward quiz. Is it any wonder that public school teachers as a whole are failing to meet their obligations so poorly. It’s time for their supervisors, the taxpayers to take the board of education to their seat of knowledge and whack them into shape.

1—No state should excuse teachers’ absence for labor protests unless their contract specifically allows for union or association reps be excused in advance to attend to professional association or union activities in which case the union should be held responsible for the cost of paying the substitute teacher.

2—Clear policies regarding teacher’s use of sick leave must be clearly articulated with harsh penalties for teachers who provide false documentation of absence including being fined, suspended or dismissed.

3 – Teachers or any citizens who prevent the legal conduct of private or civil employees or elected officials to do their jobs under the pretense of protest activities shall be subject to laws regarding disorderly behavior, harassment, coercion, assault and battery dependent on the severity of the offense.

4 – Teachers or any other citizens who disrupt public meetings or legislative assemblies who continue to disrupt such proceedings after being called to order will be removed, arrested, and prosecuted by all applicable laws.

5 – The state, local jurisdictions, and school boards must provide appropriate forums to involve teachers in the decision making process. Meetings should be held in as open a format as possible with specific rules governing when operating in confidential or executive sessions are appropriate.

6 – No teacher shall be compelled by law or school system policy to join a union or pay any dues or association fees without the teacher’s explicit written consent.

7 – State and local authorities and school boards shall suspend any union or representative body that interferes with the normal day-to-day conduct of school business or official meetings. Teachers will lose representation for a period of no less than the end of the current budget cycle. Upon completion of suspension, teachers will select new representation or re-elect their previous representative body.

8 – Teachers’ promotion, retention, and compensation shall be based on due-process procedures where appropriate regulations regarding such proceedings are clearly articulated. Grounds for immediate termination must be clearly established including criminal activity, insubordination, gross neglect of duty, deliberately providing false or misleading information to school officials, parents, or students.

9 – Tenure based on seniority not clearly defined performance standards will be abolished.

10 – Teacher compensation shall be based on degree of qualification, student performance, and overall contributions to the school and its functions.

11 – Clear standards which indicate matters or teacher malpractice shall be instituted, published, and distributed to all parents. Ones applicable to students shall be presented to students in an age appropriate manner so students clearly understand what they should do if they feel teachers are expecting them to do something inappropriate.


The following policies will help improve the quality of public education but still cannot change the reality that public education in its current form is a government run monopoly. Communities, local and state governments must continue to explore providing the public more options including charter schools, vouchers, tax credits, or other forms of compensation for families who opt out of government run schools. No effort to compel private or for-profit educational outlets to unionize shall be enacted. Educational concerns shall operate on a “right to work” basis.

Michael Moore: Aside from Being a World Class Asshole -- He's Just Plain Wrong

Why make such a big deal about Michael Moore? After all, he's just a hack filmmaker who has trouble getting funding for his movies. Sure, his influence is limited outside of preaching to the choir of the committed leftists who believe what he believes.
What is most interesting about Michael Moore is that no figure articulates the true agenda of the left in clearer more certain terms -- what their core beliefs are, their priorities, and their philosophical assumptions. He does so in such an obvious nuanced-free manner, he makes what everyone from Barack Obama to labor bosses to the Hollywood crowd to the big voices of media outlets like the New York Times and MSNBC all believe very clear so all can see, this is what they're all about. He does so in a most straight forward, pull-no-punches manner -- it's good to listen and take note.

The most important underlying assumption to all their ideology is the basic Marxist assumption that all political activity and economics are a matter of class struggle -- the exploiters against the exploited. In our society, the filthy rich (meaning any one above the subsistence level who does not have a union job) are oppressing "working people" (translation -- people who work for labor unions or receive public assistance (wait they work?).

The great lie behind the Wisconsin labor insurrection is that there is plenty of money to go around -- that Governor Scott Walker is just looking out for his corporate friends by giving them tax breaks.  Oh, in a state that is facing severe financial strife largely due to the loss of manufacturing jobs (as in overpriced union jobs where union wages and beneftis made it no longer profitable to maintain the plant) providing companies tax incentives to locate in Wisconsin helping to improve the employed work force then in turn paying more taxes hence a more solvent system that could benefit public employees is hardly looking out for "friends" unless Governor Walker's friends are the entire state of Wisconsin including the AWOL senators and union slugs who would benefit from a healthier state economy.

This is logical and can be verified with provable statistics. So how far away from reality is the fat turd from Flint Michigan?  His assertion is essentially all wealth that isn't were he thinks is where it belongs has been stolen, here are his own words from a recent interview:

"They're sitting on the money, they're using it for their own -- they're putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We've allowed them to take that. That's not theirs, that's a national resource, that's ours. We all have this -- we all benefit from this or we all suffer as a result of not having it,"

This is class war propaganda and nothing else. Produce something of value or demonstrate a talent that creates value for others, you earn accordingly. The more a person's job is reduced to a clearly defined job description interchangeable with somebody else's the less value that person produces and wages and benefits should reflect accordingly.  Part of what has destroyed public education is how much more the art of educating children has been converted into an assembly line process governed by union advocated rules. It's little wonder then, that unions would fight pay-for-performance with all their might knowing that the whole interchangeability of teaching assignments cannot be justified and a system based on rewards by seniority would not stand.

Unions favor well-established closed shop corporations who can afford union wages. Of course eventually these businesses reach their lethal point where they either go out of business or flee to new environments where union privileges don't reign supreme. When the wealth is divied out by labor contracts, what retains wealth to generate new products and businesses?  Oh, do they think government labs and university grants can accomplish all that? Hardly, Western Electric, the great AT&T (the old phone monopoly) only made one kind of phone. There was only one kind of phone service, but union workers working for AT&T made GOOD money. The government broke up the monopoly. Phone company employees were rewarded more on the basis of productivity, and competition between phone companies produced all kinds of new technology we use every day.

Here's a sermon on how to play to lose.  Right from the fat arse's
thoughts.....

Thanks to Michelle Malkin: Conservative Teacher Reveals a Non-Conformist's Plight

RMF was once a public school teacher whose experience as an executive in his local teacher's union brought about his conversion from a classic liberal to conservative. What the reader is about to examine from a Minnesota teacher's point-of-view is an all too often reality for teachers who put their students first and embrace traditional values.

As more information about the state of public education becomes clear and citizens get a first hand look at what public teachers' priorities are, it becomes shockingly true that schools are what many have long thought they are intolerant enclaves of left-wing indoctrination where politics trumps professionalism and that completely inappropriate demeaning and insulting comments about Republicans and conservatives are not only taunts directed at non-compliant faculty members but also shared with students to intimidate them into to developing an anti-free enterprise, closed shop pro-union, pro-left wing agenda, political agenda.

The Minnesota teacher writing below expresses what is so common around the country. The behavior she cites cannot be tolerated and has no place in an institution funded by tax payers for the benefit of all citizens not just ones who drink the Democrat Kool-Aid.

The Wisconsin Plague Spreads to Indiana

And now the nonsense spreads to Indiana…Democrats refuse to show up to work to avoid facing votes they know they can’t win.

The Unions, the Democratic Party, and their lapdogs in the media are lying when they use words like “freedom’ and “rights.” What they are struggling with is a direct reflection of the population exercising its freedom in executing their right to vote. Their vote was contrary to what the pro-labor union agenda desires, and now those elected in free and honest elections (after all when elections run amuck, it’s often in urban areas where labor unions and their allies can manipulate the polls) the governor and state legislators are doing what they pledged to do for a majority of the population who voted.

The big ruckus in Wisconsin is not about taking away individual rights, all too the contrary. The governor and Republican legislature seeks to give state workers the FREEDOM not to join a union if they chose not to and elect to have their income that labor law mandated be taken from their salary without their consent be theirs to spend, save or invest as they see fit. Forcing workers to join unions is a restriction on freedom not an expression of freedom. People don’t have the right to belong to join a union when that choice is forced upon them. The Right to Work concept which 23 states currently enjoy allows employees to have the right to choose or not chose the right to join a union. The union, in turn, has to be more responsive to its membership because they have to behave in such a way that workers would see value in joining. In truth, unions silence workers. They speak for the employee to the employer. They determine how the company’s or tax payer’s money should be divided up and distributed to the workers. The result is a system that does not reward quality but instead time spent on the job.

Certainly, at the dawn of the industrial revolution when industries engaged in unscrupulous labor practices exploiting and abusing their work force, the union movement served a purpose, but that was 100 years ago. How much things have changed since World War II, yet unions act as if society owes them something for things they claim to have accomplished a century ago. To what do we still owe the British who implemented the Magna Carta. Our society is founded on the basis of the U.S. Constitution and aside from “right to assemble” and a few other provisions, nothing explicitly says society needs unions or that unions have any power to mandate anything. Yet we see efforts to destroy the democratic process with notions like “card check” where employees could be coerced into voting for union representation as their REAL right to vote in a secret election would be taken away.

So Wisconsin and Indiana are face with the reality that the vast majority of the public finds their lives are just fine without unions. They see how the union approach to business has led nowhere as many of those business no longer function in those states. They see where their tax money is going and that the Democratic party wants them to fork over more money for union employees who believe they have the right to all kinds of perks and benefits people who work in the real world do not get. They see their neighbors out of work and teachers crying because they’re not getting the raises they think they are entitled to receiving, that they are being asked to chip in for their lavish benefits albeit at a much lower percentage of income than most workers, and that they are upset because the majority believes they deserve the choice of how much they want the unions to “represent” them.

The will of the people is to hold government employees to terms of employment more like the private sector and that they cannot enjoy the perks of what amounts to a government run monopoly. The majority of Wisconsin and Indiana elected representatives are ready to act. How would the Democrats have acted if the Republicans could have obliterated a vote on Obamacare by not showing up on Capitol Hill? The answer is obvious, they’d be accused of killing babies, trying to screw the middle class, and all the usual rabble rousing and incitement of class warfare. The overreach of government that Obamacare woke people up on the state level that enough is enough. Americans expect people to do their jobs – when teachers fake illness and get fraudulent doctors’ excuses and elected officials do not show up in their chambers, they’re not doing their job. They should be treated the way most people would be if they behaved so irresponsibly, be disciplined and possibly fired but absolutely not paid. If the legislature is in session and there are no conditions (floods, epidemics, winter storms, hurricanes) that would prevent attendance at work, their seats should be declared vacant allowing business to go on and for them to be removed from office.

Yet they say they are exercising their rights. At every turn they are denying what has been established by society at large exercising its rights and that in doing what they claim are their rights but such behavior is illegal should be dealt with accordingly without pity or prejudice. The rule of law legally enacted by the representatives of the people must prevail and acting contrary to such must be treated as lawlessness.

To sympathize and support legislators who would flee their states they have a duty to support is irresponsible and intolerable. Those who report the news should take a hint and report the truth of the situation not what they want to truth to be.

It’s time for the will of the people to prevail. It’s time to end the union moment. Its time has passed and it is at its very best an expensive nuisance but in situations as we see today it is a sickly cancer on society that must be destroyed.

On the Behalf of Working People in Wisconsin to Their Teachers, "Time's Up!"

Time's Up -- Report Directly to Detention Hall for a Good Old Fashioned Ass-Whoopin'

“We’re not neglecting our teachers; we’re giving them a real life lesson.”

How far do unionized teachers think they can push the public at a time when public education is attacked from all sectors even the film industry with the release of “Waiting for Superman?”

The real life issue is that public school teachers are violating the law selfishly defending so-called rights they have abused and benefits that go far beyond what most employees could dream of receiving. The real story is teachers are engaged in fraud obtaining bogus doctor’s notes excusing their absence for fake illnesses. Reality shows that almost everybody in Wisconsin has had to make some concessions to help stabilize the state’s economy while private employees are seeing no growth in salary or benefits during a weak economy. Unemployment is high and part of the reason seeking concessions is to prevent layoffs.

How can these unprofessional, selfish teachers possibly show up for school, be on time, and be honest when they’re playing hooky to whine about how unfair their lavish compensation is? Plenty of Wisconsin residents would love to have just some of what teachers have to whine about. These greedy teachers will take the notion of “Do as I say, not as I do” to even a more absurd degree when they return to work, something they do not deserve to enjoy, when those who have engaged in dishonest behavior contrary to their employment agreement should be fired.

It’s time the public treat public schools with the same kind of harsh zero tolerance which they show for children as false packaging for strict discipline. Wisconsin teachers are now on the “time out” bench and the dunce caps should be forthcoming.

AMEN

Governor warns of as many as 12,000 could lose jobs!!!!

Don't tell these union goons, they couldn't have seen this coming. Many of them won't have to complain about what they think is a raw deal from the state. They won't have jobs to complain about at all, and it SERVES THEM RIGHT!!!

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/20/12g-state-workers-fired-budget-deal-wisconsin-governor-warns/

The teaching profession is revealing its true agenda by engaging in the unlawful behavior they have chosen to follow. Is it any wonder public schools are falling to pieces? Who'd want these people entrusted with their children's future?

Wiscosin Teachers Have Forfeited Their Professional Integrity

LYING, FAILING TO HONOR COMMITMENTS, ACTING LIKE SOMEONE ELSE OWES THEM SOMETHING, IS THIS WHAT WE WANT TEACHING AMERICA'S STUDENTS??

Wisconsin is the Tip of the Iceberg on a National Public School System that is OUT OF CONTROL

How can parents justify sending their children to be taught by GREEDY teachers who are so craven in their disrespect for their jobs, their students, their community, and their state by gathering FAKE doctors' notes to justify their absences.

Any sense that they have the right to engage in civil disobedience that breaks the law IS NOT exercising their first amendment freedom, it is an insurrection that must be treated as such. How can people who willingly violate the law whose compensation, particularly benefits are far better than those in their communities receive continue to expect the public will buy their doom and gloom scenarios like forty plus students in the classroom when the actions being taken by the Wisconsin governor are designed specifically to make maintaining the current staffing levels as high as possible without layoffs. If the teachers do not accept some concessions, the budget situation WILL force layoffs.

Teachers are obtaining FRAUDULENT doctor's notes to justify their absences. Doing such alone should result in dismissal.

One of the great revelations in recent labor disputes is that the notion of the underpaid teacher is largely a myth. Teachers are paid quite well. Consider whatever their annual salary is does not take into account that they are TEN MONTH employees and that they receive exceptional benefits which have not required contributions or co payments -- thus the generous benefits reward twice over.

Every effort to reform education is fought vigorously by teachers who increasingly act like they're doing the world a favor just showing up for work. Years of declining educational performance brought on No Child Left Behind, a reform they fought aggressively. It is little wonder that teachers oppose charter schools, home schooling, on-line eduction, for profit tutoring, and vouchers for private schools because they are not union members.

Any attempt to adjust teacher compensation so that it emphasizes pay for performance where exceptional teachers are rewarded for their contributions are likewise fought.

The tests don't lie. American students are losing ground compared to the academic performance of other children in the industrialized world. The future of our culture is at stake and every effort to improve education is met with resistance from teachers and their radical unions.

Thus the situation is as such, public schools are declining. The cost of staffing schools is skyrocketing. Increases in educational funding is not producing results. Teachers acted above any effort to make their profession more accountable and to change to meet current reality. They act as if their authority is absolute and tenure makes it very difficult to weed out ineffective teachers. Nowhere in our society is the entitlement mentality more out of control than among public school teachers who are responsible for teaching students the rule of law, personal responsibility, and serving as solid roll models.

The Wisconsin experience suggests the state should FIRE every teacher who continues to engage in the unlawful insurrection. Why not privatize the system where schools contract with private firms which supply properly trained professional teachers and by contract are expected to obtain specific results. No results - no contract.

It's time to think out of the box. We cannot continue to pay taxes to the lawless.  The teachers demand sacrifice while offering no concessions themselves. The teachers' conduct has shown them to be social leaches entitled to nothing more than due process dealt out firmly to the fullest extent of the law.

The time to tolerate this garbage has come to an end. It is the teachers who are forcing the issue. It's time for Wisconsin to respond accordingly.

It's Time for a Ronald Reagan Moment: Dealing with Wisconsin Lawless Labor

FIRE THE BASTARDS, NOW!!!

America is a country that lives by the rule of law. The law is established by the representatives of the people who elect them to serve the public good. Public employees are bounded by contract to report to work, discharge their duties, and accept the terms and conditions of their employment.

For most folks, the understanding is clear, “Do your job.” In Wisconsin, the Democratic Members of the Wisconsin State Senate have fled to Illinois to prevent a quorum allowing the legislature to do its job. The writing is on the wall – a measure that public employees, the base of the Democratic Party’s base, will pass if just ONE Democrat dos his job and shows up to take his seat he was elected to fulfill the responsibilities and duties thereof by the citizens of the state.

Wisconsin teachers are violating the law not showing up for work lying about their absence, claiming to be sick, so they can organize en masse to protest in the state Capitol of Madison.

At what point can the legislators’ seats be declared vacant and are there provisions to replace them? Under such circumstances it’s almost unimaginable no matter how much money the unions throw at the proceedings the Republicans would not gain a seat or two and gain a quorum.

The teachers are in clear violation of the terms and conditions of their employment. It’s time for a Ronald Reagan moment. FIRE THE BASTARDS!!! The public puts tremendous trust in their teachers part of which is to discharge their duties in a professional and ethical fashion and in so doing serve as appropriate roll models for their students. In Wisconsin, the teachers under direction of their union are violating their responsibilities even coercing students to participate in rallies in support of their insurrection. Using students as pawns in a politically motivated cause is unacceptable.

Adding to the numbers of protesters, it should be no surprise that the unions would mobilize their faithful busing in cadres of supporters from out of state to create a nosier ruckus. What we do not expect to happen is for the President of the United States to use his political apparatus to encourage ILLEGAL behavior and further to provide recruits to actively participate in the insurrection.

This is not Cairo, Egypt. What is happening to the public employees, the school teachers, is a reflection of the will of the people who elected new legislators to address the economic concerns of Wisconsin like many Midwestern states are severe with the loss of manufacturing jobs and a shrinking tax base.

For the Democratic Party specifically under the direction of the President, to actively thwart the legislative and legal process in Wisconsin is illegal, immoral, and unacceptable. No one should be surprised how Nancy Pelosi views the activities in Wisconsin.  This disgusting excuse for a political leader is clearly engaged in sedition. She describes the Wisconsin insurrection as; "an extraordinary show of democracy in action.”

“Wisconsin's workers, teachers and public servants must have a seat at the table to fight for a safe workplace, I stand in solidarity with the Wisconsin workers fighting for their rights, especially for all the students and young people leading the charge.”

Listen up you SICK BITCH -- there is NOTHING being imposed that in any way compromises the safety of teachers or their workplace whatsoever. That Pelosi would encourage students to serve as pawns in a cynical political display of pure greed and absolute entitlement is beneath contempt. While Pelosi might work for an electorate of San Francisco freaks, Wisconsin teachers work for the citizens of their community whose generosity has been stretched beyond all reasonable patience.

Elections have consequence. All the crybaby teachers and other state employees are being asked to do is accept a FRACTION of that which those of us in the private sector accept as standard terms of our employment. Just how likely are tenured teachers likely to lose their jobs? If they were to compare their total compensation including benefits with private sector employees, they’d have to be blind not to see their communities are taking damned good care of them. The message is loud and clear, they are being asked to contribute to their state’s well-being too while every cent they own is right out of the pocket of those they are acting confrontational towards now.

How bad is the Wisconsin insurrection? The new technique of the radical left which obviously means labor unions is to organize their goons to harass those they disagree with by surrounding their private residences holding people hostage in their own homes violating their right to security in their own homes. This kind of lawlessness should subject all those involved to nothing less than prison. Once again, those who are engaged in union organized events somehow think that implies a sense of immunity from consequences.

It’s time for the local school boards to demand an immediate return to work. Those who don’t comply will be found in violation of the terms of their employment and fired. It is most unfortunate that unions feel free to do whatever they want when their demands are not met. American history is full of episodes of theft, vandalism, assault, and other crimes against anyone who gets in the way of unions. It’s time for an all out assault on public employee unions and break their backs.

Any elected official who supports such insurrections will pay for this. We the people must demand such NOW!!!

WISCONSIN: No Time for Cheesy Nonsense

Obama's GOON SQUAD "Organizing for America" Sends Rabble Rousers and Resources to Stir Up Rancor and Civil Unrest at State Capital



Here's an open statement to the teachers, union jerks, students, public employees, and Democratic party legislators, cut out your bull crap and get back to work. No one with any  common sense feels sorry for your situation whatsoever. You're lucky your state receives relatively little national press for it does not escape our notice that Madison, Wisconsin and the state university campus is one of the great hotbeds of American radicalism that set the stage for the kind of excesses that you are being asked to give a little back so the whole state can move onward and you can keep your job.

Private sector workers contribute to their health care costs. You don't. You're being asked to contribute an amount about half that of private sector employees and you act like you're being screwed. You're being asked to contribute to your pension. You get a pension! Most private sector workers at best get a 401k. You're not getting the pay raise you expected. Well, from the private sector here's a big loud BOO-HOO-HOO.

Teachers calling in sick because they can't accept the hard fiscal reality of their state are behaving illegally and dishonestly -- a great example to set for your students who you've recruited to politic for you. Pathetic.

Democratic legislators take off for Illinois where they can't be rounded up and do their job attempting to thwart the will of the people who are sick of seeing state employees getting all kinds of perks and fortune, while many of them haven't seen a pay increase if they have a job at all. ARE YOU TOO BLEEPING STUPID TO SEE HOW PISSED OFF THE PUBLIC IS AT YOU?

Everyone knows what your answer is -- raise taxes, in other words when you're state employees, you are asking the people who pay your salaries to take a cut in their income so you can take an increase in yours. Well, one thing's for certain, folks won't be heading south of the border to Illinois which just upped their taxes 66% to support their crime-ridden corrupt political machine.

Sure, we know, you would jack up the tax more on the "rich" because you don't think people who EARNED that much money should be allowed to keep the money they earned. Here's a dirty little secret. You can accept the taxes they're paying now because if you raise them, who has the ability to move out to some place else that charges lower taxes more easily. Yep! That would be "rich" people. So what's better--raising a rich person's taxes and having them leave Wisconsin thus you get NO TAX REVENUE from them  whatsoever, or you can take what they're paying now.

While we're dumping on you, you do not have your job necessarily because you have EARNED it. You have it because you've been in your job longer. How about getting rid of some of you guys who've been on the job, don't do much in favor of young workers still full of enthusiasm ready to go.

Basic economics: for every dollar a public worker makes, a taxpayer is giving up one of his or her dollars. Private sector workers see they wages go up when they produce more and that makes the employer earn more money and can then hire more people who will pay taxes or their employees might be rewarded with higher wages which means paying more taxes. When the economy is growing there is more money to provide more for public employees. When the economy is hurting, the pool from which public employees is compensated shrinks. What is simpler the logic or the math?

Some how some people who fancy themselves as well educated just don't get it, do they?

The bottom line is your an American. You got a job. Stop complaining and get back to work. This is not a threat -- it's the cold hard truth. If you're going to demonstrate, show the public you are worthy of your job and when financial conditions improve, you will be rewarded. Demonstrate calling the governor Hitler and carrying on like idiots as you are now will only make the public feel good when someone sticks it to you -- which would serve you right.

Disgruntled Workers of the World Unite -- Obama Has Lawyers for You!!!

If you don’t like your boss, Barack Obama’s administration wants YOU to sue their asses. That’s right – if you don’t like your boss, they’ll even set you up with a lawyer on a contingency basis. They describe this as part of their “Middle Class Initiative.”

Here are the details courtesy of Fox news.
http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/02/04/white-house-launches-new-aba-hotline-labor-dept/

That Barack Obama would support such a thoroughly ridiculous policy is very revealing. First, it embraces that the employee/manager relationship is inherently adversarial. This notion is the fundamental assumption of Marxism – the dialectic between those who control the means of production against those who do the producing.

According to Labor Department statistics, over 40,000 employees call each year with gripes about their bosses but because of budget constraints (in Obama language that means the government is not spending enough money) only 10% receive service. Thus the administration is working with the American Bar Association (ABA) to provide a toll-free number to connect the grievous workers with lawyers where typical issues supposedly often deal with minimum wage, overtime, and family medical leave. The administration’s pitch states, “a new effort between the federal government and private bar to assist complainants who may need help with worker rights.”

The absurdity of this system is beyond belief. For all the pressures put on business by government mandate which especially hit hard on small businesses on tight margins struggling to survive, this confrontational legalistic Marxist approach, introduces the high probability of frivolous lawsuits which no matter how lacking in merit can still run up tremendous expenses in legal fees in defense of such idiocy. The history of this administration has thrown some lip service to the plight of small businesses but in reality nails them to the wall such as working to comply with Obama “care.” For the world of organized labor, such provisions of how to handle such disputes are handled by the labor bureaucracy while such companies have legal departments for the explicit purpose of dealing with such assaults. With this in mind, this law clearly targets non-union shops and where are most of the non-union shops – among the ranks of small to medium businesses. Even before the Obama administration, no Federal department has more lawyers other than the Justice Department than the Department of Labor.

Clearly most employee/management disputes are communication problems. Only in the rarest instances are employers purposely or knowingly acting illegally against their employees. Often employees might feel ill-prepared to address their supervisors, not know what to say, or simply have an attitude which translates into blame against their bosses. Larger companies have human relations staffs which help provide a nonthreatening stage which helps provide constructive intervention.

The bottom line is if workers feel they are being treated unfairly, it is there responsibility to put up or shut up. The tough question is are they truly committed to doing what’s expected of them or are they looking for loopholes to leach off of their employers because they do not possess positive attitudes toward work and have personal values with a strong work ethic.

Employees who are not being paid minimum wage, do not receive overtime, or are forced to do things that are contrary to labor law surely deserve justice. Perhaps some stage of mediation would be appropriate. Often it would simply be clarifying to the employee or maybe the employer what the appropriate guidelines are. To immediately call out the heavy artillery of the legal system is a dreadful overreach, Marxist philosophy in its most basic form.

So if this were necessary, how about this? If the employee loses his case, then he will be held responsible for reimbursing his employer for the employer's legal fees and time spent in preparation for the initiated legal proceedings?  The possibility of abuse and frivolous lawsuits cannot be underestimated.

More About the DC Walmart Protesters

It's fascinating to see news footage of these worthless little shits carrying on their huffy little protest. They'll all white, mostly college kids, definitely not looking like blue-collar class of people, stirring up a fuss within 20-30 feet of a  PRIVATE RESIDENCE.

Meanwhile, despite all the full-employment, no layoff government jobs in DC, unemployment is over 10% in the Washington, DC.

What would have happened if someone had attempted to leave that house?  This is severe intimidation bordering on terrorism holding a family hostage within their own house.

RMF DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE SUPPOSED LAWYER TALK AND ALLEGED FIRST AMENDMENT STUFF INVOLVED WITH THIS. THEY ARE OVER THE LINE AND IT WOULD REALLY BE COOL IF THE AUTHORITIES BROKE UP THE CROWD, AND ANYONE WHO DIDN'T DISPERSE GOT A SNOOT FULL OF TEAR GAS AND A NICE WHACKING AROUND WITH A NIGHTSTICK.

That these kind of low life turds are so intent on blocking the opening of a Walmart, guess they have enough money they don't need to save a few bucks, this makes Walmart look like an even better place to shop. Real people who struggle to make ends meet don't shop at Tyson's Corner or the posh extremes in Gaithersburg.

We usually stay away from potty mouth comments in this blog, but to these protesters and their organizaers, FUCK YOU!!!

Radical Left Shows Their True Character in DC Walmart Protest

Protesters in Washington DC, Walmart Free DC - an associate of the SEIU, supported by organized labor have clearly unmasked the true character of the radical left as craven, depraved scum on the fringes of American society who are so blinded by their radical, unrealistic, and anti-democratic ideology. To witness how quickly they acted incensed by the apparent hate rhetoric of the right suggesting it led to the Tuscon massacre citing a Sarah Palin led PAC's flyer using cross hairs to identify on the map "targeted" congressional races on of which included Gabby Giffords was used as proof positive to validate their wicked and malevolent contention, how quickly they were proven wrong. Yet from Paul Krugman's first posting in the New York Times to now, they keep banging the same drumbeat despite pleads for restraint.

It should come as no surprise then that not only do they use the cross hair motif in organizing their riff-raff of servile, mindless drones as followers. However, their protest using a technique the left has used increasingly more in recent years shows their contempt for all legitimate channels of addressing their grievances seeking redress in this matter. Demonstrations are a part of civil American protest. They can even get angry and menacing. To picket the headquarters of a large corporation or a government facility is fair game as long as they don't impede traffic and personnel from entering and leaving such facilities freely. This is the practice of freedoms granted by the first amendment -- the rights of free speech and the right to assemble. They certainly have no respect for the 4th amendment rights of the subject of their protest to be "secure in their persons, house..." To attack adversaries in the security of their homes in residential communities show conclusively of the absolute lack of any moral fabric in these thoroughly low-life union scum whose true objectives benefit no one except the union establishment itself.

Their contention that Walmart would cost jobs or close down business is an absurd argument in this part of Washington,DC where urban decay has driven businesses out of the city or out of business. It should be noted that the intended construction site is a closed down Chevrolet dealership. Certainly, a Walmart would not only provide entry level employment for DC citizens, it would also provide citizens with very limited financial means access to goods and services out of their reach living in urban Washington DC. They simply cannot take off to the myriad of Walmarts and other discounters close by in the suburbs.

Clearly, the DC protesters are completely out of hand and should be prosecuted accordingly should their actions threaten the safety and security of the developer's neighborhood just as disturbing the peace and other such charges should be considered elsewhere.

These union thugs simply have no leg to stand on. They must be dealt with harshly. Their activities should give society at large a broader view of what the state of organized labor is today and that their privileged status in the Obama administration as the cash cow of the Democratic party must be thoroughly and systematically fought with each occurrence.

Obama Targets States Guaranteeing Workers' Rights Against Union Intimidation

Perhaps the most stunning wide-reaching efforts of the Obama administration is the extent to which they function as tools of organized labor in the United States. The Union wish list and Obama labor policy are one and the same.  Consider how the unions were given ownership stakes in General Motors and Chrysler in the auto-industry bailout over the legitimate contracts of debts to be settled by those owning bonds in the companies leaving their financial stakes out in the cold. While the so-called stimulus program has done nothing at all to help small businesses, much fortune has been devoted to creating government union jobs.

Anyone who can clearly see what organized labor has contributed to the American economy in the last 50 years, we see a malignant cancer that has destroyed entire industries while forcing the lion share of manufacturing jobs overseas. In the interest of cynical short-term gains, unions have not only destroyed once mighty industries, but they have forced millions of union workers to the unemployment jobs settling for employment that could never come close to what would have been reasonable compensation for the jobs they once held had the unions not priced their wages and benefits out of sight.

Not just excessive wages are the problem but the real onerous burden unions have stuck society with funding are their legacy costs -- pensions and insurance benefits which keep union workers basking in high cotton for the rest of their lives. Not only are the benefits extremely generous in compensation and benefits granted, provisions that provide for ridiculously early retirement after often around 25 to 30 years of service, productive workers go from contributing to the economy, albeit it a very high cost, for the goods and services they produce to a financial burden threatening the financial stability of the corporations and municipalities where they once worked.

When looking at the eminent downfall of the economies of financially strapped states including California, New York, and Illinois, the burden of funding pensions with such such perks as exceptionally liberal and generous cost-of-living adjustments, the wretched greed and shortsightedness of unionism stands naked in the breeze. Only through bankruptcy can corporations get out of crippling contracts -- but if demeaned "too big to fail" we see how GM and Chrysler retirees remain living high on the hog not even having to do a little belt tightening that EVERYONE else has had to endure to some measure.  Having liberal state governments allowing unions to gain binding arbitration where an arbiter can commit the tax payers to finance union demands contrary to what the state (the feeble supposed representative of the electorate) intended.

Clearly, where the Democratic party, essentially the labor movement's political arm, is deeply entrenched, those states will become financially strapped, raise taxes, screw businesses, and drive wealth, both personal wealth and entire corporations to move elsewhere. Manufacturing companies including many overseas companies are more than happy to set up shop in right-to-work states, but the old "rust belt" manufacturing states continue to fall to pieces.

Despite the 2010 election demanding frugality and bucking union desires, the Obama administration and the Democratic party are still hell-bent on destroying a worker's right to vote to accept or decline union representation through their card check provision. To compel a worker to vote on the spot in clear view of union organizers, such workers are subject to severe intimidation and retribution if they don't follow union mandates. History has shown unions seldom give any regard to following the law whether its what recently happened with snow removal in New York after last month's blizzard to the kind of violence that they inflict on independent truckers any time there is a truck strike.

Some bold states have declared enough is enough. They will make it a basic right of citizens as part of their constitution not to be subject to union intimidation, but the Obama administration will have no part of it. Certainly once again using the primary tool of the radical left to impose the reach of government through misapplication of the commerce clause, they seek to prosecute or persecute those states just as they have with states who attempt to protect themselves from the ravages of illegal immigration.

Is not a government controlled by labor one of the most well established definitions of socialism? Yet, the media in the administration acts as if those calling the President a socialist are guilty of hate crimes.

America must stand up to organized labor with Ronald Reagan as our inspiration. Their thorny grip on our society must be destroyed.

Congratulations, BGE

Despite persistent efforts by organized labor in the past two decades, the employees of BGE (Baltimore Gas and Electric), a subsidiary of Constellation Energy, have overwhelmingly voted to reject union representation. WBAL radio reports the margin was 1,135 to 304 the largest margin in related election history in the past fourteen years.

This victory for personal rights versus collectivism is a huge triumph given the climate of caving into union demands and the staunch labor support of the Obama administration. Clearly, something good is still going on at BGE and workers are increasingly aware that union membership assures nothing of value.

We applaud those employees and their wisdom. Let's hope to see more result like this in the near future elsewhere.
