Quote of the Day

"[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few." 

-John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 1763

This is why we are a Constitutional Republic, and NOT a Democracy. Mob rule is not a path to Liberty. Put another way, Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Clarification

Some minor correction and clarification:

First, the Wisconsin proposal that has the union parasites in an uproar would take away the ability of most government employees to collectively bargain for benefits.They could still bargain for higher wages, but future wage increases would be capped at the federal Consumer Price Index, unless otherwise specified by a voter referendum. The bill would also require union members to contribute 5.8% of salary toward their pensions and chip in 12.6% of the cost of their health insurance premiums.

In comparison, public sector healthcare contribution averages about 20%, and retirement contribution averages about 7.5% (for 2009, according to Employee Benefits Research Institute) 

I also failed to mention that teachers are bringing along their students to help fill the crowds (not like they're being taught, anyhow)...nothing like using children as tools to further your own ends..but then again, we are talking about parasitic far left liberal scum, so no real surprises:

In Bed With The Anti-American Unions

Ok, so exactly at what point do we stop giving the President the benefit of the doubt by assuming he's just unqualified, inexperienced, and/or inept for the job, and start calling him out on his Anti-American, active efforts to undermine the foundations of this country?

It's already well documented his on-the-record remarks on his aversion for the Constitution, as well as his desire for a Statist, all powerful central government (for all those whose education came from the public school system, that's what's called Socialism):

He's on record supporting a single-payer healthcare system, the forced purchase of health insurance, the forced implementation of so-called "green" energy (in spite of the fact that it's economically a disaster...just ask Spain), as well as the intentional stifling of the oil industry (four dollar a gallon gas is coming, people...don't blame the middle east, blame Obama and the politicians like him who have prevented tapping into our own extensive oil reserves).

It's also no surprise his close ties to union money, and his strong support of unions. In Wisconsin, union members are protesting, and the Democrats in the State House have left the state and gone into hiding to prevent passage of legislation that curbs the power and cost of the unions.

To listen to the union members, Dems, and union leaders, this is a violation of the worst degree, even comparing the Governor to Stalin, Hitler, or Mubarak.

What exactly does this EEEEE-VIL bill do? Are you sitting down? It's harsh!......Ready?

It would require state workers to pay half of their pension contributions, would increase the amount they pay for health insurance to 12.5% of the cost, and would take away their collective bargaining rights (no more forced raises without legislative approval, and state employees would not be forced to pay union dues even if they had no desire to join the union). Horrors!

Oh, and who pays all these sweet benefits currently? THE TAXPAYER...I'm sorry...THE EEE-VIL RICH PEOPLE WHO AREN'T PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE...

Let me sum up; these parasitical dredges of left-wing scum are pissed off because they are going to have to contribute more to a benefits package that far surpasses 90% of public sector benefits, even given the increase is FAR less than what the public sector employee pays, and they can't force ridiculous mandatory raises to be paid out to them (with no requirements or measurements on job performance). And they can't force non-union employees to pay union dues.

Oh, and this trend is spreading; more anti-American Democrat legislators in Indiana are sneaking out and hiding in order to prevent similar laws being passed there, and Unions are already coordinating multiple protests across the country. Just look up Richard Trumka (who has openly has stated his desire to bring down the system in favor of a Socialist system..global, not just in America).

Now, let's add the fact that the unions are paying to BUS people in to the rally, as well as paying the homeless to "protest", that doctors are passing out fake "sick notes" to people to get them off of work without repurcushions, and the fact that most schools are completely shut down because most teachers are protesting (though I'm sure it's JUST for the welfare of the children they teach that they constantly claim to care about so much.).

Don't believe me? Look it up. Not hard to find. Oh, and then there's that annoying little tidbit of information that Dems really hate...the fact that the Communist Party USA is joining in to help with their "cause", as well as other anti-American, left-wing groups:

(No surprise...remember the video I posted several months ago of the "One Nation" Rally? Our beloved Democrats (including Obama's own official community organizing group) endorsed, supported, and attended, along with just about every left-wing radical Communist/Socialist/Marxist scumbag.

See, there's a very distinct and important difference between a Democracy, and a Republic. It would do people some good to look it up, but in a nutshell, Democracy boils down to "Tyranny of the Majority." And it has never worked...ever...in history. So those so-called calls and rallying cries for "Democracy"...bad idea.

Oh, did I mention that Richard Trumka has admitted that he's a regular visitor to the White House? According to him, as often as twice a week, with often daily phone calls to someone on the staff:

Being a Democrat now means being anti-Constitution? Anti Republic? Anti-American? If so, then leave the country; there's lots of Socialist utopias you can migrate to. We don't want your scum here.

From the, "You Can't Make This Sh*t Up" Category

In spite of receiving numerous votes in an online poll, It is unlikely that Fort Wayne‘s new government center will be named after the city’s longest tenured mayor.

Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said naming it the “Harry Baals Government Center” was probably not going to happen because, “We’re not going to make any decisions that look bad.”

Sometimes jokes just write themselves...

Leave it to the Anti-American Left to consider unionizing a "Fundamental Human Right"

It's official! Those fine, quality Mall-Cop-Rejects of the TSA (you know, the ones that now either get to see you naked or fondle your crotch in the name of airline safety...) now get to unionize! This must be such a relief for them..now they can continue their abuse, and not have to ever worry about being fired!

As for the rest of us, in addition to having to go through a demeaning stage production that does nothing to improve airline safety, we can now deal with agents that no longer give a shit how well they do their job...they'll still get paid.

John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, stated: "Today marks the recognition of a fundamental human right for 40,000 patriotic federal employees who have been disenfranchised since the inception of the agency.” (emphasis mine)

WTF?! Um, were these poor, "oppressed" federal workers somehow having their rights violated? Am I the only one who wants to puke right about now? And using the word, "patriotic" would make me laugh, if it weren't so offensive.

Oh, and by the way, the TSA also is no longer going to be supporting the option to allow airports to opt out of using TSA in favor of hiring private firms for security. (Which would add the "evil" Capitalist concept of COMPETITION, which improves service, quality, and lowers cost...) I'm sure this has NOTHING to do with preserving those 40,000 precious unionized jobs...Nahhhhhh!!!

This is why I gave up flying.

People need to stop being mindless sheeple. It's hard to really nail down what is more offensive...the Socialist Lefties who actually WANT to throw out our Constitution, or the apathetic useful idiots who don't care what's happening to the country (at least not until they wake up and find the freedoms that were important to them are gone).

At least with the Leftist Anti-Americans, we know where they stand.
