Unions Sour On Obamacare
May 22, 2013 Political
The Democrat supporters in the labor unions supported Obamacare and helped Obama and his minions get it passed. The law is a disaster and costs a heck of a lot more than advertised. Nancy Pelosi said it had to be passed to see what was in it and now that it has passed what we see is horrible. It will not work, it will cost a lot of money, it will not cover everyone as advertised and it will cause the rest of us to pay a lot more for insurance (and that was not supposed to happen either).
It will also cost people who thought they were getting free health care.
Many unions and other Democrat supporters were granted waivers. Friends of Barry were able to get an exemption from Obamacare. But a lot of supporters did not get waivers and are now getting bitten by the law they supported.
AARP did not like it and they were big supporters. They applied for, and got, a waiver. I recommend people ditch the AARP and join the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC).
It looks like a bunch of labor unions that supported Obamacare, support they do not regret because it helped Obama, are unhappy about how it affects them and their members. One labor union wants the law repealed (or completely overhauled) while others just want changes that will benefit them.
I say screw them all. They supported it and they must either live under the law or work hard to get it repealed. NO SPECIAL EXEMTIONS OR CHANGES. They do not deserve special treatment from the law they supported. They must live by it like all of us or get it completely repealed.
No more of this good enough for you but not for me stuff.
You unions don’t like the way this affects you? Well neither do we and we don’t want to be forced to comply while you get special treatment.
Time to completely repeal this monstrosity or bend over and grab your ankles.
Period.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Election Junk Mail Keeps Post Office Treading Water
Oct 15, 2012 Political
The United States Post Office is on the brink of insolvency and has been several times. The PO is losing money hand over fist and every few months there are dire predictions about insolvency and cuts in service.
The PO states that this is because it is required to pay billions each year into its pension fund to pay for its retirees. Perhaps that is so but the PO had generous retirement plans and it must pay for them. I guess the PO, like all other government and union entities expects the taxpayer to pick up the tab for these retirees.
I have discussed the PO in detail before so I won’t rehash it here. Suffice it to say that I think it would be better off if it were, at least party, privatized.
In any event, the PO has gotten a slight reprieve this year because this is an election year and it is an important election year. Couple the increased political activity among the electorate with the increased spending PACs are allowed to engage in and there are a lot of items being mailed to people.
The Post Office is getting a boost from increased political mailings so I know that entity is praying that the race remains close and more organizations get involved in the process.
Regardless, when November rolls around and the election is behind us the PO will need to face reality and work to make things more efficient and cost effective.
When the PO was the only means of sending written communication it did well and money was no object. Now there are other companies that deliver and email as a means of communication. Not to mention that many companies have their catalogs on their websites for viewing or download. No need to spend a few dollars per catalog to mail them out.
One way or another the PO will have to reduce costs. It will probably have to reduce delivery to five days a week (is Saturday deliver really necessary) and it will probably have to reduce the workforce and number of branches.
If not it will certainly go belly up.
At least until Congress takes OUR money and uses it to bolster the PO.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Requiring An ID Is Racist And Discriminates Against The Poor
Sep 4, 2012 Political
This has been the rallying cry among the left and its surrogates who oppose any kind of law that requires an ID to vote. Voting is one of the most important civil exercises in which people participate and it is important to ensure only those who are entitled to vote do so. This is not acceptable to the liberal left and the reason is simple. Yes, the left claims that the ID requirement is racist and affects minorities and poor people but the reality is the left opposes ID laws because those laws make it more difficult for people to cheat.
Democrats have a long history of ballot box stuffing, suddenly finding enough ballots to push a Democrat over the edge and allowing the illegal aliens as well as the dead to vote. These are undeniable truths and this is why liberals oppose voter ID laws.
The unions are heavily involved in Democrat vote cheating schemes and the union bosses oppose voter ID requirements. This is ironic because unions require an ID before anyone can vote in union elections. That’s right, whenever unions have a vote on an issue the people who want to vote MUST show an ID.
It is important to unions that people who are not supposed to vote on an issue are kept from doing so. Strangely, unions do not feel the same way when it comes to the integrity of the election process in this country.
The Democrats oppose voter ID BUT the Democrats require a government issued ID be presented to attend the Democrat National Convention. Yep, if you want to attend that event you will have to present a valid ID. Obviously the Democrats want to preserve the sanctity of their convention but have little regard for the integrity of the elections in the country.
Democrats have called the voter ID schemes racist and have made bizarre claims that people will not be able to get IDs and those people will be the poor and minorities who tend to vote Democrat.
The people attending the Democrat Convention tend to vote Democrat and must show an ID to attend. This begs the question; are Democrats racist and are they trying to disenfranchise and exclude minorities and poor people?
One must show an ID to enter a government building, get on a plane, buy alcohol or tobacco, register for school, join the military, register for sports, cast union votes and enter the Democrat Convention but an ID to vote in an election is somehow a burden.
The reason voter ID is opposed is clear. Democrats cheat and they do not want barriers to their illegal voting schemes erected.
The time to reform is now. States need to pass laws requiring an ID to vote and states need to tell the federal courts that they do not intend to follow any ruling that removes a voter ID requirement. States need to reassert their power over the federal government and we the people need to show them who their bosses are.
We are in charge and they work for us.
We need to dictate the rules and they need to mind their own business.
Remember, requiring an ID is like raping someone…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Union Violence
Jun 12, 2012 Political
The unions in America are led by thugs and some of the members are thugs who do the union bosses’ bidding. We have seen this throughout the budget debates as unions send their people to disrupt procedures and threaten people. In some cases the unions were involved in violence. The Victory of Scott Walker in Wisconsin was hard fought and the fight was against union thugs who were involved in or incited violence. One only needs to look at the calls for violence against Walker after he won to see the evil that unions can bring.
This video discusses union violence. Some people might find the images disturbing.
Union leadership uses intimidation and forced union membership to keep workers in line and it also uses intimidation and violence to get what it wants. There is no denying that unions, particularly public sector unions, have outlived their usefulness.
I have seen the intimidation tactics first hand when a union (private sector) was trying to get established in a former workplace. One of the thugs tried to coerce me and said he was not going to let me leave until he got his point across and got a commitment (I guess he thought I was going to fill out a card). He found out quickly that he was putting himself in danger.
In any event, these thugs literally get away with murder. They will not stop until they are met with equal force or until Governors like Walker take a stand and beat back these domestic terrorists.
Thanks to Aunt Barb for the link…
This is a link to the same video with a petition drive.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Pelosi Says What The Rest Think
Mar 4, 2012 Political
Nancy Pelosi let slip her feelings about unions in the private sector and her slip reveals a person who wants total government control. It reveals a person who wants a government that knows no bounds and a government that completely controls out lives. We already know this about the liberal/progressive/Socialist bunch infesting government at all levels from the courts, to the Capitol to the White House. Now Pelosi has put into words how far she will go for complete government control.
Heritage finds a nice catch in this CNBC interview with Nancy Pelosi last week, as Maria Bartiromo queries Barack Obama’s favorite House Speaker on the role of government in business expansion. Should agencies like the NLRB have the authority to shut down private-sector plants simply for not being unionized? Pelosi barely waits for the question to conclude before blurting out her “yes” Conservative Byte
Pelosi thinks a government agency should be able to shut down a private business for not being unionized. This is the mindset of those who want total government control. If there are no unions we will shut you down until you get one. If you don’t want to purchase healthcare we will force you to under threat of a penalty.
Yes, they encroach even more into our lives each and every day and they do so because we do not stand up to them.
Someone remind Pelosi that she and the government have no control over this and that our Second Amendment provides us a means to fight tyranny no matter how it manifests.
Our Founders would be shooting by now.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you do not fight for your freedom then your own government will take it away.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
