I've written numerous times about this scam but still the progressives - in and out of the church - continue to sing this swan song. Hopefully their audience is dwindling. Now here's a person who's celebrating Earth Day as it should be celebrating - Scott Walker, Wisconsin governor. He's contemplating the elimination of over 50 of the state environmental agency's jobs. Talk about a reduction in waste and useless consumption of resources. In all honesty, if Walker runs for president, he will be on my short list.

Happy Earth Day! Stop Yawning From Boredom Immediately!
Yep! Another one has come and is almost gone! If this stupid stupendous event escaped your notice, you are not alone! According to National Journal, approximately 74% of Americans rarely - if ever - discuss Earth Day. Eek. The horror. The terror. I shall faint from fright at my earliest convenience.

Wednesday Morning, At DNC Headquarters..
They do get a lot of mileage out of these Hitler clips. I cannot help but think that this is rather representative of many DNC meetings this week. Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Walker's Victory (And Ours)
With gratitude to God I greeted the news that Wisconsin's pro-life governor Scott Walker won yesterday's recall election. He garnered 53% of the vote to Barrett's 46%. The pro-union and community-organizing types took well-deserved black eyes in this election.
I notice, though, that some of my fellow Catholics were less than pleased by Walker's victory. For example, there were the 25 Jesuits from Wisconsin that signed the recall petition. Jesuits? Well, that explains a lot. Then there were the four Catholic sisters who must have been twice as convinced as the other petition signers that Walker should go. I say "twice" because that's how many times each of these "good Sisters" signed the petition. Naughty-naughty, Sisters! And shame on all of you for preferring the pro-abortion Barrett over a pro-life governor!

Union Thuggery On Display
In May 2010, about 500+ union thugs stampeded all over the lawn and front porch of a banking executive in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area of Montgomery County. I wrote about that here; please review it.
It seems like these union thugs are not much more than organized mobs, whipped into frenzies by their progressive leaders/zoo-keepers to intimidate those deemed to be opponents - that is, those who dare to stand between them and the raw power that the unions lust after, while claiming to be for the "little guy". One such individual that the union thugs hate is Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin. In his efforts to bring Wisconsin back to fiscal and constitutional sanity, he has made moves to curb the stranglehold that unions have had over the citizens of Wisconsin. For this he has incurred the unbridled wrath of the unions - and I do mean unbridled! Their hatred of him knows no restraint or decency. The Governor officiated at a Special Olympics event in Wisconsin; the thugs were there and they disrupted it to draw attention to their own sorry little selves. Gee! Aren't the unions and their progressive task-masters supposed to be champions of the disadvantaged? If so, why did they treat the Special Olympic participants with such utter disdain? Could it be that they simply decided to drop their pretenses of altruism? Read the Specator report here. In case you cannot see the embedded video in that report (and I strongly encourage you to watch the union antics for yourselves), you can click here.
Ah, but there's more - this time from the Left Coast! This time we hear that a teachers' union, on May 13, staged what they call a "State of Emergency" protest. They want more funds, you see? And guess what? Not only did the teachers come on a school day, but they brought their students to join in the antics. That's right! These children were subjected to a progressive brain-washing exercise when they should have been in school. The union members demand funds to manipulate these children instead of teaching them things like, you know, reading, language skills, arithmetic and other mundane things. As you read this account, please take special note of all the pictures. They are most telling in and of themselves. You'll see that the children - with taxpayer dollars - are being taught to become good little socialists, to "tax the rich", how "bankers should go to the gallows", "fighting vampire squids on Wall Street", ad infinitum, ad nauseum. It's just the type of crap the National Education Association wants to cram down your children's throats. Your tax dollars - hard(ly) at work!
Keep this (and the post immediately preceding this one) in mind as another election season draws near.

Obama's Intrusion Into Wisconsin Matters - Par For The Course With Him
Some are shocked - just shocked! - that the Messiah Most Miserable is slamming Wisconsin governor Scott Walker as the latter stands up to union thugs. While I certainly believe Obama's actions to be despicable, I am not surprised in the least. I thank Breitbart TV for jogging my memory, but Obama, during his presidential campaign (which he never really quit) is simply keeping a promise to his union backers - to "paint the nation purple with SEIU". Listen to it yourselves. Click here if you can't see embedded video.
USA Today quoted Obama as saying, “Some of what I’ve heard coming out of Wisconsin where you’re just making it harder for public employees to collectively bargain generally; seems like more of an assault more on unions. And I think it’s very important for us to understand that public employees, they are our neighbors, they are our friends.” What the Messiah Most Miserable declines to mention is that these "public employees" draw their salaries and benefits directly from the taxpaying citizens, who themselves are overburdened in these difficult times. These taxpayers simply have nothing more to give without impoverishing themselves and their own families. However, the union hacks don't seem to care. Are not those taxpayers our friends and neighbors, too?
My colleague at Les Femmes commented on this debacle. In so doing, she links to an article written by a mother who had to deal with striking teachers. Please read it here, and as you do so, please pay special note to the last paragraph. These "angry taxpayers" are angry because these union workers are cavalierly asking the citizens to bear yet another crushing load on their already-overburdened backs. They simply cannot meet unreasonable demands.
I now focus on another, more insidious aspect to all this, and it hearkens back to the video of Obama pandering to union hacks and "community organizers". Currently, Wisconsin educators are compelled to belong to the Wisconsin Education Association Council. There are negotiations underway. According to this Washington Times article, union leaders are focused not so much on pensions and health care for its members, but ensuring that bargaining and forced union dues are kept as they are. They are completely dismissive of the rights of those teachers who choose not to belong to the WEAC and pay its dues - a portion of which are earmarked for Democrat candidates for office. That is what Obama means by "painting the nation purple"! He wants simply to ensure that money continues to flow into Democrat coffers and to please his money sources.
To end this post on a pathetic note, read the pathetic statement put out by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on February 16th. The timing of this thing makes plain that this is a reaction to the debacle of teachers striking and Democrat legislators fleeing like cochroaches. It yammers on and on about the rights of workers to unionize, but absolutely nothing about the rights of workers who choose not to sell their souls and pay exhorbitant funds to causes abhorrent to them. In times past, I would have said that a document such as this betrays gross naivte about economic realities. However, I've come to learn that they aren't necessarily lovable doofs. I see here a not-too-subtle attempt to chide the Wisconsin governor. Just how much governmental money does that archdiocese receive????
