Good For The Goose…

A TEA Party affiliate, FreedomWorks, asked a polling firm for Center for Public Policy Research to poll on public reaction to learning which business interests backed the ObamaCare blitzkrieg, and upon learning which businesses were I bed with the Obama administration in each case the voters aligned with the TEA Party reacted negatively to that news.

The results for General Electric caused the positive reaction to drop from 51% to 20%, as an example, and for Johnson and Johnson to drop from 69% to 16%.

“’To break up this unholy alliance between government and business, we have to shine a light on it,’ says Kibbe.” (FreedomWorks President)

“’This is a next step in a series of battles,’ adds Borelli.” (Tom Borelli, director of the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project)

The plan will be announced next week.

I am certain that liberals, long associated with boycotts, will have no objection to this use of a progressive tactic – since they even have investment strategies and investment funds set up to boycott those corporations whose environmental or other operations with whom they disagree, and encourage those with whom liberals agree.

 

 

Union Thugs With Rubber Gloves!

You think the TSA situation is bad!

You ain’t seen nothing yet!

When the TSA was formed it was denied unionization. But when the Democrats took over four years ago they changed the law.

In the very near future, the TSA will be unionized and then changes will be minimum as they will have to be vetted through the unions, and firings will be minimal.

“These are people who desperately need a union,” said John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which has 600,000 members from different federal agencies. “We want a union and we want collective bargaining rights.”

Somehow, patting down disabled, elderly improves security
JOHN L. SMITH

“Slumped in her wheelchair, Amelia looked my way and shrugged. It was happening. Again.

In the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport recently, my 14-year-old was once more being patted down by uniformed strangers wearing rubber gloves.”

What About the Euro-Centric Liberals?

Giving benefits to those who not work at all is such a universal goal of the Liberals that they cannot distinguish between pay and benefits for those who work, and pay and benefits for those who do not work.

Left to their own devices, Liberals would expropriate everything from everyone who does anything, and distribute those ill-gotten gains to people who produce nothing.

(At least, until it all runs out: See Ireland, Britain, Spain, Portugal…and California. Germans are now well onto this scam, since they are the almost sole producers left in Europe, and are balking at the continued bailout.)

What do you do when “can do,” can’t?

This morning Britain is facing a 40% slash in public funds (students are rioting — still), Ireland is on the brink of financial disaster, Greece is rioting still under the pain of austerity, with Portugal and Spain next.

Yesterday we learned that Ireland is proposing a 20% cut in programs, leading with welfare, and much smaller tax increases.

Bowing to pressure from H-P, Apple and other corporations, corporate taxes will NOT be raised.

But it is not the countries — there is a common thread…liberalism. Perhaps you will call it the over-abundance of liberalism, but liberalism lends itself to excess and backing that back down is particularly painful to those accustomed to living off the fruits of those more productive.
The Second Law of Street Economics is, “Nobody gets it if there ain’t any!” — which is poor English but proper economics.
Public service unions have driven us to the brink at home and abroad because they always want “more” and the compliant politicians — ever in search of union votes and money — have round heels.

But eventually they run out of someone else’s money.

I always thought that liberals were Euro-Centric — just loved everything Europe did (except, possibly skipping showers), but liberals just refuse to look at where Europe is TODAY! I have not seen a SINGLE remark from a liberal on writing on the blogs I frequent regarding ANYTHING European since liberals lauded the European healthcare, which is about to get uniformly CUT!

That is where we are.

Time to put this fat kitty (government) on a diet!
