Republicans Banned From “Union” Labor Day Parade
Remember the “Look for the Union Label” song?
It was by a garment labor union that began in New York City. The song encouraged people to “look for the union label” and buy garments “made in the U.S.A.” The song was popular but it couldn’t help the unions because the problem was that US made garments were much more expensive than overseas garments. Now most garments are made overseas from countries free of labor unions such as China.
Why do you suppose that song didn’t help the garment workers union? Could it be that the US garment industry was no longer competitive with the rest of the world?
What is it about unions these day? Why are they in such decline? Could it be that they no longer represent ‘labor’ in the minds of the common man because of the tactics unions use? Could it be the bankruptcy of whole industries by labor unions is causing union membership decline?
Here’s the latest example of an old tried and failed union methodology to force conformance in everything union:
In Wausau, where you can spell the name of the town without USA, the Marathon County Central Labor Council is telling Republican lawmakers they they are not welcome in their parade.
“It should come as no surprise that organizers choose not to invite elected officials who have openly attacked worker’s rights or stood idly by while their political party fought to strip public workers of their right to collectively bargain,” said Randy Radtke, president of the Council. The Council is made up of about 30 local unions from the Marathon County area. Source 1
Workers rights extend to all workers, not just unions. The labor day parade is a parade for all laborers. “I’m a worker, you’re a worker, we’re not represented by unions. It’s not appropriate for the citizens of the city of Wausau to be deprived of contact with their elected representatives. When I go to these parades, I try to talk with people before the parade actually starts,” said State Senator Pam Galloway
It took the intervention of Mayor Tipple Of Wausau to point to a public policy that would forbid the banning of any political party from participation at any event sponsored by the city. Furthermore, the statement went on to say it is, “not in the best interest of all the citizens of the City of Wausau.” Source 2
Over and over again, unions demonstrate they are a group that has to bully to get its way. Here’s a news flash to unions, it ain’t working! Your bankrupting our country, our counties, our cities. Public unions do more harm than good to the general financial welfare of non-public-union folks. In the long run, there will be no unions because that’s right where we are heading. And the unions are only speeding things up with brutal behavior.

Homeschooling Scares the Hell out of Teacher Unions
Homeschoolers scare me. I feel the vast majority I’ve met, have been socially awkward. – SPeace
I know all about home schooling first hand. I also know what a lifetime of ruin children suffer due to a lack of a proper education. Parents generally are not qualified to teach even if they have a hs diploma or equal, yet that is all it takes to home school. And home school parents get money from the state, money that could go to the public schools to help everyone and not just one child.
The unions help keep the teaching profession respectable and fair. Unions balance negotiations with superintendents and school boards. Without unions, teachers are at risk losing money, benefits and perhaps even their job.
…homeschoolers …often hurt their own children’s future because their kids are not properly prepared for post secondary school. Parents who home school saddle their children with a weird stigma that lasts their whole life through….-OEA Source
Excellent Rebuttal from M.O. M.
I am a mom of 5 which to some would be a large family.
I believe in God and study His word everyday & to some this may make me a religious fanatic.
I homeschool 2 of my children and the other 3 attend school.
I’ve given my children the choice on which they prefer to do. I will say to be home alone for 7 hours would be the easiest choice for me, but life’s not about just me. Two of my children wanted to stay home after being in the public school system. Two of my children have never stayed home and want to go to school. My oldest was homeschooled until fourth grade and he loves public school (he’s now a sophomore).
We are not a cult. Our children are smart. They also have friends.Yes, homeschooling isn’t always easy but the benefits are so worth me having to re learn things I haven’t done in years. It takes MY time and find the right workbooks & to search online for printouts. I could be watching Dr. Phil, but NO, I’m teaching my children about the American Revolution while I’m learning how to do calculus.
We teach our children independence. They don’t have to be in a group of 25 others following a curriculum. Me and my girls laugh and have fun. They voice their opinions and are thinking for themselves. They can be as creative as they want. Their not in a box having to do something one way. It’s awesome to be able to do this for them and with them.
My children will be grown and gone from my home soon enough. It’s my job to provide and protect them to the best of my ability. That’s what I’m doing. To judge all homeschooled children as weird or wrong is your own ignorance.
To all those homeschooling or going to homeschool, I wish you the best. -M.O.M.

Homeschooling is the most exciting movement in education today! It’s not exactly new; up until 1850 most children in America were educated at home. But the past 25 years have seen a revival in homeschooling, and now between two and three million children in the United States are learning at home. Homeschool.com was created to empower parents to create the ideal school for their child at home! Homeschool.com’s founding principle is to consistently provide resources, information, and support to all homeschooling families.
“…between two and three million children in the United States are learning at home…”
Homeschooling is poised for explosive growth, and with that growth comes the responsibility to embrace the incredible diversity of families that choose to homeschool. Homeschool.com supports each family’s unique approach to preparing their children for success! Explore Homeschool.com and let us help you… from getting started homeschooling to helping your young adult go out into the world!
Home-schooling strikes a chord with me.
I have a huge amount of respect for those who home-school their children. People who home-school don’t sit back and take whatever government delivers, rather they put it upon themselves to educate their children.
And now home-schoolers are getting respect from US colleges and universities. According to at least one source, homeschoolers have now matriculated at over 900 different colleges and universities, including institutions with highly selective standards of admission such as the US military academies, Rice University, Harvard University, Stanford University, Cornell University, Brown University, Dartmouth College, and Princeton University. Source: Homeschoolers find university doors open
However opposition to homeschooling include some organizations of teachers and school districts. The National Education Association, a United States teachers’ union and professional association, opposes homeschooling.

7 Reasons Why Mitt Romney is a Socialist

Time magazine asks, “What does Mitt Romney believe?”
He believes in a government that sees value in socialist ideas, there is no room in the conservative republican party for a socialist.
Here are the 7 Reasons why Mitt Romney is a Socialist
1. OBAMACARE = ROMNEYCARE: RomneyCare is the signature government-run health care with a dismal track record of bad service and high cost. In May 2009, Romney cited his health care program as one of his “best ideas.” RomneyCare forced health care decisions on the taxpayers of Massachusetts.The RomneyCare health care plan formed the basis for Obama’s Socialist ObamaCare health care “reform.”
2. TAXES: As the Governor of Massachusetts, Romeny raised “fees” (taxes) by nearly $730 million. In fact, at a 2008 presidential debate, Mitt said that it’s appropriate for governments to charge fees and provide services. And, in 2007, at a campaign event in Iowa, Romney called flat taxes “unfair.” Flat taxes unfair? Only a socialist would say that some should pay more than others to even the playing field.
3. SOCIALIST ECONOMIC STIMULUS & FINANCIAL SERVICES BAILOUT: In January 2009, while Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were offering the now infamous Porkulus Maximus, Romney offered a smaller $250 million stimulus proposal. Mitt, government intervention in the economy is contradictory to conservative principles. Conservatives favor small, limited, Constitutional government. In September 2008, Romney told Michigan residents at an event there that the financial services bailout was absolutely necessary.
4. CLIMATE CHANGE: In 2008, Romney told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that “there’s nothing wrong with dealing with global warming.” Of course, it’s okay with you as long as it’s done on a “global” scale. In 2004, as Governor of Massachusetts, Romney introduced the Massachusetts Climate Protection Plan, a package of policies that acknowledged the existence of anthropogenic global warming. Second law of socialism, group people together with fear and socialistic solutions.
5. SECOND AMENDMENT: In 1994, Mitt favored strong gun control laws. First rule of socialism, disarm the general populous.
6. RIGHT TO LIFE: In 2002, during Romney’s campaign for Governor of Massachusetts, he pledged to “preserve and protect” a woman’s right to choose (abortion). Now, he claims to be staunchly pro-life. Flip-flopper’s have no conviction, pro-abortionists are socialists committing genocide on the black community. [Source: abortion being used as black genocide according to BlackGenocide.org]
7. GOVERNMENT REGULATION: In April 2009, Romney told The Hill newspaper that: “We as Republicans misspeak when we say we don’t like regulation. We like modern, up-to-date dynamic regulation that is regularly reviewed, streamlined, modernized and effective.” No conservatives don’t like regulation of any kind, but socialists do.

Emancipation Proclamation of Preborn Children
NOW THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death, and I do proclaim, ordain, and declare that I will take care that the Constitution and laws of the United States are faithfully executed for the protection of America’s unborn children. Upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God. I also proclaim Sunday, January 17, 1988, as a national Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon the citizens of this blessed land to gather on that day in their homes and places of worship to give thanks for the gift of life they enjoy and to reaffirm their commitment to the dignity of every human being and sanctity of every human life.
Ronald Reagan
Presidential Proclamation
January 14, 1988
Actually, I am a Christian but this is also a SCIENTIFIC FACT, that it is HUMAN LIFE. Two weeks after conception the baby has a heart beat. Forty Seven days after conception, the baby has a brain wave. Now, if we establish these two factors in considering if a person is dead, why don’t we consider then when a person is alive. These babies are alive!!!!! God help us as we will be judged by the way we treat the very young and the old. – KYshela
Ronald Reagan Saw The Big Picture and He Was Critical
In honor of Ronald Reagan’s 100th Birthday, Fred Thompson narrates this historic look at President Reagan. He says, “We knew Ronald Reagan as President, Governor, Dutch, The Gipper, and The Great Communicator”
In Ronald Reagan’s words, “I never thought it was my style, or the words I used that made a difference. It was the content. I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things. And they didn’t spring full bloom from my brow. They came from the heart of a great nation. From our experience, our wisdom. And our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries.”
There he goes again, saying so much with so few words. In this brief statement he laid out his framework of his only plan. And he was being critical too. Critical of those who believe government solves problems. And as you know, Reagan was famous for saying, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
Critical Political Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan was critical. He wasn’t afraid to call out and label our cold war enemy as ‘EVIL’. No other president has the guts to say what we were ALL thinking like Ronald Reagan did. When Ronald Reagan wanted to make a statement about tearing down the Berlin wall, his aides and advisors all advised against it. He insisted and was right to leave those word in.
The words, “Tear down this wall” brought freedom to more people and fast.
AFTER THE SPEECH people were suddenly free and excited! It was a huge party.
My favorite Ronald Reagan Critical Political Speech is this one,
Reagan: “We can have peace this second, if we surrender.”
Reagan draws the line between the two major political philosophies with real life examples that he delivers with passion. Reagan explains, “its not that our liberal friends are ignorant, it is that they know so much that isn’t so,” Reagan cuts through false accusations. Accusations such as conservatives being uncaring, which is patently false. Reagan explains that liberals have good intentions but with those good intentions long term results in un-thought-of consequences. Full Post: Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing”
Ronald Reagan ideas and wisdom are back in the air, back in style today. Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan, 100 Year Old.
Reagan lives in the minds and hearts of many in the United States. Perhaps there are more minds that believe in Reagan than those who believe in ideas from Marx, Lennon and Keynes. Keynes was always in a hurry to find a quick solution to economic problems. He was famous for saying, “In the Long Run we are all dead.” We may be dead in the long run, but we still have to think of our children, and their children and so on. To ignore the big picture because it takes too long to get there isn’t really seeing the big picture at all. Ronald Wilson Reagan saw the big picture.
As Ronald Reagan’s 100th Birthday celebration dawns and then ends with a magnificent sunset, I leave you with these critical Reagan Quotes:
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at gunpoint if necessary.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.

Pharmacrats Don’t Cure Anything
Some democrats and pharma companies have one thing in common, they only want to treat symptoms and not cure the disease. Pharmacrats are democrats (and some rinos) who are more interested in empire building than curing social-economic illnesses.
The customer base of the far left pharmacrat is the poor, uneducated and sick. As long as there are people surviving on public money, pharmacrats have a customers. Pharmacrats need the sick, the undereducated and the poor to keep themselves healthy. Without the poor, the downtroden, pharmacrats essentially have no customer base. Pharmacrats want more poor, so they make more poor with more dependence on public money. The poor are made to feel at home with the money pharmacrats dispense. All they have to do is increase the dose and the poor feel better.
“Oh, you had another child, here’s another $20k in benefits. Feel better now?”
Like pharmaceutical companies who need people needing medicine, pharmacrats need people who think they need money because they have been brainwashed into thinking that they can’t work. It’s not about curing the problem, it’s about keeping a base.
Pharmacrats want everyone to believe that what they want is for good, that they are helping. They’re not helping. In reality, like a drug, the money pharmacrats hand out in ever larger doses is something many become totally dependent upon. More money, free groceries, free rent, free clothes, free everything. Who would want to trade in free, for work?
We must continue to break the generational habit of being dependent on drugs and pharmacrat money.
Take a good look at 50 years of pharmacrat rule. Look at a generation of lives ruined, now look at the next generation. It’s not getting better at all, it’s getting worse.
Pharmacrats
…They start off with good intentions, but they don’t factor in the unintended consequences.
…they entitle others to your money.
…the problem with pharmacrats is that they know so much that isn’t so (thank’s Ronald Reagan)
…create generations of families to never hold a taxable job which means they never pay into school systems, city, roads, nothing, ever.
Now look at the responsibility, faith and self healing instilled by our conservative fathers and forefathers.
The first step in curing American is rewarding true positives – in our schools, in our movies, in our books, our games and in our social networks. And that is starting to happen. In colleges across America, for the first time in years, college campuses are seeing conservative student movements. Saying Merry Christmas is coming back in vogue. Conservatives are being elected into power. The tea party movement has reached down and made speak for the first time millions of moms and dads, grandpas and grandmas, and uncles and aunts.
America is indeed speaking against dependency in a big way. I believe there can be another new dawning in America. And an end to the reign of pharmacrats.
The Banning of Christmas is Wrong, Period
I run a local forum called The Voice where people post all manner of things. Mostly centered around Monroe, Ohio, but also state, national and world issues surface. The poster, Tom Birdwell is a local guy who has been an active board member for Monroe Local Schools for nearly a decade.
The conversation was started around the Separation of Church and State and the lack of support for the Christian religion while overwhelmingly supporting the Islamic religion. Here is Tom’s eloquent post:
If you had read the Constitution and Federalist Papers you would know that separation of church and state does not exist in our Constitution and never did. The only reference to it is in the first amendment, which reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
When they wrote that, they were thinking of nations in Europe that literally had an official government religion, or laws prohibiting a specific religion, NOT complete isolation of the two. Our nation made its way from 1776, nearly two hundred years into the 1950′s before a court first bought into the separation of church and state BS beyond the expectations of the Constitution as written.
The “make no law” provision meant EXACTLY that. Every session of the Continental Congress, writing of the Constitution, and every session of Congress to this day is opened with prayer. Prior to the great depression, churches were frequent distributors of the limited federal welfare funding, at least to the limited extent it existed. And the Ten Commandments are inscribed in the Supreme Court building.
Perhaps the greatest stupidity of all was banning of Christmas scenes from public property. It was first argued to be about government spending, but churches immediately , as churches were quite willing to fund them so no public expense was incurred. The court then side-stepped the clear language of the Constitution “Congress shall make no law…” as no law was ever passed. It was a court mandate instead. Creative.
by Tom Birdwell
What awoke me to this post was the comment about Christmas being banned from public places.
The banning of Christmas scenes from public property.
The banning of Christmas scenes in schools – now we have ‘holiday concerts’ in December and the students now take ‘winter break’
The banning of Christmas in government, businesses – we now send ‘holiday cards’ in December and celebrate by having a ‘winter party’
The banning of Christmas in our lives – we don’t say Merry Christmas for fear of offending someone. We say ‘Happy Holidays’
The Attack Against Christmas Continues
“All the Whos down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did not. — Dr. Seuss
Supporters of using terms such as “holidays” in place of “Christmas” argue that many of the symbols and behaviors that western societies have come to associate with Christmas were originally from pre-Christian pagan traditions and festivals that predate Jesus. Symbols and behaviors such as caroling*, decorated ever green trees, mistletoe, gift giving, wreaths and yule logs, have pre-Christian origins. (*Source: Wiki)
Christmas Caroling has pre-Christian origins? What Grinch writes this stuff for Wiki?
Christian Love – Jesus’ Commandment
Christians have no defense. Christians have been taught to turn the other cheek. What’s at the heart of Christian love? Jesus said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). John, inspired by the Holy Spirit, once wrote, “We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death” (1 John 3:14). And “by this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:2-3).
Will Christianity Vanish?
How many Christians will be left when the single most important celebration for Christians, Christmas, is banned, shunned and stepped on. Christians don’t want to fight. Christians want to live their lives as taught by Jesus Christ.
Say Merry Christmas and Save Christmas
Christians should stand up and say ‘Merry Christmas’ without fear. It’s your holiday too. Stand up and be counted as a Christian celebrating Christmas. Christians are not condemning any other religion. Christians need to make sure that ‘we the people’ know just how many Christians there are in America. Say Merry Christmas to everyone you meet. You might save Christmas for someone.
Make Congress Part Time Says Jindal

Jindal said the following in an interview with Human Events:
“We used to pay farmers not to grow crops, let’s pay congressmen to stay out of Washington, D.C. Mark Twain said that our liberty, our wallets were safest when the legislature’s not in session.”
“Make them part-time, give them term limits. Don’t let them become lobbyists. When they have to live under the same rules and laws they pass for the rest of us, maybe you’d see some more common sense coming out of Washington, D.C.”
Actually the quote is “No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.” But the meaning is the same.
History Repeats
The “Gilded Age” was a term that Mark Twain used to describe the period of the late 19th century when there had been a dramatic expansion of American wealth and prosperity. Twain believed that this age was corrupted by such elements as land speculators, scandalous politics, and unethical business practices.
Now I’m no Mark Twain, but seems to me that history is repeating itself. The very same problems that Samuel pointed out over a century ago, are problems today, land speculators, scandalous politics, and unethical business practices.
Take Fannie and Freddie mortgage financing (land speculators), Obama-Pelosi-Reed scandalous politics and insider trading scandal is so huge, it tops the unethical business pratice mountain and you see that things have changed very little.
If government is the problem, lets have less of it. Ronald Reagan said this about less government, “The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom.”
Bobby Jindal is a true patriot in calling for part time congress people. I agree, let the congressmen live among the people and learn what it really means to be an American. Give them term limits and make them part time, that will keep their political power in check.
Learn from Nigeria
In Nigeria, the people are shocked by the high pay of their legislators and call for across the board part-time legislation.
The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress has lent its voice to the debate on the high cost of governance, saying that Nigeria only nedds a part-time legislature at the state and federal levels.
The party said that Nigeria would make meaningful progress, if it cuts down on bureaucratic and political expenditures.
According to AC N, wastage of public funds should not be condoned.
The Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, said in a statement that legislative duties should be a part-time assignment, adding that lawmakers should keep their original jobs as they serve society in a political capacity.
“We are shocked to learn that a hefty thirty per cent of our national budget goes to the legislature for works which many Nigerians feel should be part-time work. We are shocked to learn that Nigerian legislators are the highest earning legislators in the world. We are shocked to learn that Nigerian legislators individually earn more than the Presidents of most advanced countries in the world for doing next to nothing. We are shocked to learn that Nigerian legislators smile home with a hefty sum of N180 million every year as allowances, outside their salaries in a land bristling with acute poverty and want.
The Soup Nazi’s at NPR
At NPR everyone must fall in line or ‘no soup for you’. This funny Sienfeld skit is a parody on NPR. The problem with the soup Nazi is that people have to say the correct thing and not cross him or you get none of his delicious soup.
Just like what happened to George in the skit, Juan Williams crossed NPR Soup boss Vivian Schiller. Juan was asked to leave immediately just as the soup Nazi asked George to leave. NPR isn’t interested in hearing all sides of the issue despite have a show called “All Things Considered.” They need to change the show to “Not All Things Considered” as the idea was brought up in Media Absurdity blog.
The parody fails when considering “Quality.” The soup Nazi’s soup was excellent. He had people lined up around the block waiting for his soup. NPR on the other hand wouldn’t survive without the charity handed out by the US government. If NPR made soup, it also would have to be subsidized.
I make the Nazi comparison due to comments made by Fox News Boss Roger Ailes:
“A guy who gets fired and humiliated in the press can lose a lot of confidence,” Ailes says. Calling Williams “a pure liberal,” Ailes says he wanted to compensate the pundit for his losses because he was “mad” and “I didn’t want him to have to call his wife and say we lost money.”
Then he turned his sights on NPR executives.
“They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don’t want any other point of view. They don’t even feel guilty using tax dollars to spout their propaganda. They are basically Air America with government funding to keep them alive.”
The source of these quotes are from Howard Kurtz of the Daily Beast
I am critical of the US taxpayer being burdened by a liberal news source that is so biased that they will not allow anyone with a conservative voice speak. If Fox news was subsided, would they be allowed to expel liberal voices? I think not.
NPRs loss is Fox News gain. Yes, liberals, like Juan Williams, are allowed to speak their minds on Fox news. And Fox News makes delicious soup because they use ingredients from all political contributors.
NPR soup is watered down broth, without salt, flavor or diverse ingredients. I have also had the soup over at MSNBC and it is just as bad. I think they have the same recipe as NPR.
