On Government Employment And Unions
Ann Coulter has an interesting article in her blog titled "Look For The Union Fable" about the doings in Wisconsin and the larger issues surrounding government employees and collective bargaining. She makes some good points regarding the lack of fundamental necessity in collective bargaining for government workers - perhaps the last true bastion for union influence.
Meantime, the liberals who put much of the policies in place that have enabled unions to flourish in the halls of government have scurried away, rather than face the grim music of having decades of failed policy over-turned by conservatives. Thus it would appear that the heretofore frequent calls for "bi-partisanship" from the left were merely a plea for RINO's and "centrist" conservatives to vote the Liberal Way, and that liberals have no interest, desire, or intent to compromise their failed liberal agenda. While one of the less scientific definitions of insanity remains doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
So, when President Obama, after declaring he won, and elections (he wins) have consequences, saunters up to the podium and asks the plaintive question: Can't we all just get along? It is he, and his fellow liberals, who answer the question: 'No, we can't'.
I read a headline over this weekend which declared that Congress has been the most divided it's been in the last 30 years. Well, without reading the article, what the headline tells me is that we've been this divided before, and the nation survived. Hopefully this go around, we'll survive too, however, the depths at which the liberals are willing to go this turn around - running away from quorums, refusing to enforce laws, inventing regulation without laws to support them, ignoring rulings from the Judicial branch.....all this is very troubling.
Very troubling indeed.
