May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Anti-education Union Thugs Protest Successful School in Wisconsin

Ideology over results. The unions were draining the Wisconsin government dry. Massive debt and a failed education system. Governor Scott Walker is turning this around. This is a "choice" school with 85% of it's students going on to college. Not so in the failed public schools. The students here are being taught civility as well as getting the education they're supposed to. The Leftist protesters here need to attend to learn what civility is. Brother Bob is speaking Truth here. I don't think there's any violent terrorist uncivil conservatives seen here.

These are the same anti education union thugs that protested at a Special Olympics event, scaring little kids and intimidating parents.

A Giant Wave of Waivers

The first woman ex-Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, famously said about the passage of ObamaCare, they “had to pass it to see what’s in it”.

As of today the Obama administration has granted 1,040 waivers. When government controls things, as proven in any communist country, services are provided to the politically connected. At its worst in this case, the government will decide based on political actuarial tables, who will get life saving care or not.

The way it’s starting out is that the big donators to the Obama campaign, especially the Unions, and most especially SEIU, is being given waivers. SEIU spent $27 million on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. SEIU Local 25 is in Obama’s hometown.

Plus 26 states are suing to opt out, plus two federal judges have ruled the legislation unconstitutional; this horrible plan is crumbling under its own weight.

Here’s the list from the HHS website of companies and unions given waivers. Lots of them are unions that donated to Obama. A lot, if not most, of the “stimulus” money didn’t go to the private sector or small businesses, but went blue states to pay union government employees, who pay dues to the unions (collected, deducted from paychecks by the various governments) and sent back to Obama’s campaign coffers. I think that not only should the union thugs not be given waivers, but every Democrat in Congress that voted for this monstrosity be required to use it and give up their fat corruptocrat healthcare program.  

Judicial Watch has filed suit against the Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services for records about the decision to grant waivers.

These are some of the unions that Obama has given a pass to, all of them contributors to his campaign.
    * The Service Employees Benefit Fund
    * United Food and Commercial Workers Allied Trade Health & Welfare Trust Fund
    * International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union No. 195
    * Asbestos Workers Local 53 Welfare Fund
    * Employees Security Funds
    * Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 123 Welfare Fund
    * United Food and Commercial Workers Local 227
    * United Food and Commercial Workers Maximus Local 455
    * Service Employees International Union Local 25
    * United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1262
    * Musicians Health Fund Local 802
    * Hospitality Benefit Fund Local 17
    * Transport Workers Union
    * United Federation of Teachers Welfare Fund
    * International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (AFL-CIO)


It’s a healthcare animal farm. Some groups are more equal than others.

TEA Party and "Coffee Party"

Despite all the massive lying of the Jurassic Press, the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party is a grassroots political movement, where the implementation in communities all over the country was done, bottom up, by local organizers. The Dems and their sycophants in the Jurassic Press keep saying it's astroturfing (planned political action from the top down made to look like it's grassroots bottom up) no matter what the evidence.

A true astroturf movement called the "Coffee Party" (just so clever and creative don't ya think?) was created by the Statists to counter the successful TEA Party. Well, they ran out of grounds. It answered the question, what if you had a party and nobody came? The founder of the "Coffee Party", Annabel Park, seeing her movement was groundless, has started another "movement" called the "One Nation" to try again what her "Coffee Party" started and failed.

Backers so far are National Council of La Raza, NAACP, AFL-CIO, SEIU and the United States Student Association. La Raza (The Race) is a Mexican Racist organization that advocates the violent overthrow of the US Government, and then three organizations of union thugs. Nice start. Park is also claiming 170 liberal and civil rights groups are part of this anti-liberty, Statist astroturf organization.

The Jurassic Press is of course on board with this, still lying about the TEA Party being a racist, potentially violent top down, controlled organization.
