Many, although not all, public sector unions became organized groups of extortion that use Liberal/Democrat lawmakers under unions’ influence and protection in order to deprive, via progressing taxation, hard-working Americans of the fruits of their work for the benefit of the unions’ members. The Liberal/Democrat lawmakers have no interest in resisting unions’ demands and just keep imposing more an more taxes on the public that apparently has no collective right to resist such a rip-off, or if the resistance against the tax hikes is stronger than the urge to tax, the lawmakers keep borrowing money in order to feed their unsustainable generosity for the public sector employees.

It has been about a week since I wrote my last commentary and since then I have been doing a lot of thinking. You wanna know what I’ve been thinking? I’ve been thinking, “What the hell is the use?”

Part of that may be due to the fact that, instead of confronting me personally, some chicken shit son of a bitch went and cried to human resources, saying that what I had written offended them.

In the name of banning DDT, GEF bureaucrats are consigning millions to death from malaria

Many chemotherapy drugs for treating cancer have highly unpleasant side effects – hair loss, vomiting, intense joint pain, liver damage and fetal defects, to name just a few. But anyone trying to ban the drugs would be tarred, feathered and run out of town. And rightly so.

As recently presented, there is global respect for and use of the classic and brilliant work by Gene Sharp “From Dictatorship to Democracy.” It is credited for empowering many actions around the world to overthrow dictatorships, including recent actions in the Mideast. My thesis is that his ideas, strategies and tactics, a handbook for revolution, can and should be applied to the US where there is a form of corporate dictatorship operating.

“POLITICS IS A HIGH-STAKES POKER GAME”
Politics is a high-stakes poker game
Where only the powerful get to play,
Where the rules change by the day,
Where the taxpayer gets to pay,
But the taxpayer has no say.

Don’t you think it is about time
That the taxpayer said, NO WAY?

So politicians beware of what you do and say,
Before we decide to take your money away. - Ron Ewart

Now that the Egyptian people have finally wrestled their freedom from the hands of a very stubborn regime, accolades to the revolution are pouring in from all directions. Even those who initially sided with Hosni Mubarak’s regime, or favored a neutral position, have now changed their tune.

“Arabs celebrate from the Gulf to the Ocean,” proclaimed a headline on Al Jazeera TV. The phrase “from the Gulf to the Ocean” is not a haphazard geographical reference, but very much a geopolitical one.

I have this theory that we, the adults, all function at the emotional level of 13-year-olds, the age of bar mitzvahs in which the young man can declare to the congregation, “Today I am a man.” (Insert laughter here)

They are, of course, not adults and must wait until the ancient age of 18 to vote and 21 to get plastered. At that age, one would think that getting a bank loan to purchase a home would be difficult. Until the housing bubble burst, it wasn’t.

Democrats in the Wisconsin Senate, short of the votes needed to keep Republicans from passing the so-called “budget repair” bill, fled the state on Thursday. They haven’t been seen since, and said Saturday they are more resolved than ever to stay away “as long as it takes” until Walker agrees to negotiate.

What they need to call this tactic however, is cowardice, at least that is what I would call it.

On September 12, 2001, President George W. Bush invited members of Congress and the media for a meeting in the cabinet room of the White House. The mood was understandably anxious, somber: The World Trade Center lay in rubble, the Pentagon had a hole gouged into it and shock and awe had settled over the United States. One of the most extraordinary periods of American history – what would come to be known as the “Post 9-11 Era” – was beginning.
