UNION THUGS ARE BACK

The news that Wisconsin public service unions are boycotting and threatening Madison businesses who do not come out in support of the unions against the new state law there is reminiscent of the old days when they literally beat people to death to get their ways.  Indeed, there have been threats to do bodily harm, yelling and protests outside the houses of government officials, and in-your-face intimidation at every level.   The unions almost sound as bad as the Democratic Party screaming and yelling at the Tea Parties.    

It’s not difficult to imagine Nancy Pelosi standing with the S.E.I.U. and screaming at the top of her lungs to the rest of America, “You will do as I say.” 

We all know that America is in deep financial trouble.  All government bodies are facing severely declining revenues and increasing demands for social services; ObamaCare will push many states over the edge of financial oblivion.  The rest of America is facing high unemployment and lower wages, losing houses, cars and in some cases whole families over financial stress.  Yet, the unions don’t seem to give one iota; they have theirs, and they’ll be damned if they’ll give it up. 

Their answer is for government to raise taxes so they can keep their wages and benefits; in other words, you and I are supposed to be the suckers. 

In Wisconsin, even those who merely contributed to the governor in his election campaign have been targeted by unions with bully tactics. 

Let me say that I do not believe that every union member is a thug.  But, most of their leaders and organizers are.  It is tempting to say that they must be involved with organized crime and, of course, they certainly have been in the past.  To them, it’s not what the country needs or what the majority of Americans feel; those things are the least of their concerns. 

To that extent, you must agree, they are not really Americans at all.  They are only thugs.  It’s time they got put in their collective places.

Things continue to get worse in Japan.  Yesterday, a blue glow started to show above Fukushima’s Reactor #1.  This appears to indicate that some uncontrolled reaction, undoubtedly associated with radiation spikes, is taking place within the plant.  Finally, Japan is asking other nations for help. 

We must continue to keep our wits about us and to keep track of the radiation levels in our country. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
