How dare anyone limit special privileges that were given in exchange for kickbacks to Democrats in the form of campaign contributions?

FDR made an eloquent case for why granting such special privileges was a very bad idea, and he was proven correct.

Battling for Freedom in 2012

http://www.newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/RNC-2012-ReincePriebus-RepublicanNationalCommittee/2011/03/07/id/388621

It is about the future of the country.

Guantanamo continues

What a bitter disappointment for liberals.

Gangster Government

http://www.rollcall.com/news/-203887-1.html?ET=rollcall:e9939:80104117a:&st=email&pos=epol

Interesting characterization.

Impossibly Expensive

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2011/03/07/barone-whos-to-blame-for-union-woes/

Excellent essay on how public sector unions have obtained unsustainable outlays of tax dollars.

Adam Smith

Note the quote about government draining money from the pockets of the people.

Public-sector Bargaining

http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/117438058.html

An eloquent statement of some of the problem with government unions.

It is shocking that 25% think that we have unlimited wealth to feed to public unions.

Government Unions

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/opinion/06sun1.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha211&adxnnlx=1299427400-f6DzcynqTC2kLDfk9G9TZw

More hypocrisy from the New York Times.

They acknowledge the problem, but dismiss anyone's attempt to seriously redress the excesses that produced the problem.

Mitt Happens

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0311/50709.html

Mitt Romney calls for a new president.

And I need to give all due credit to Debbie Schlussel for introducing me to the phrase, "Mitt Happens."

Judge orders Wisconsin protesters out

http://www.denverpost.com/nationworld/ci_17535963?source=rss

I am shocked. The judge ruled that the protesters cannot stay past the hours that normal law-abiding citizens can.

Must be a huge blow to their egos.

David Harsanyi versus Paul Krugman

http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_17476151?source=pop

Harsanyi makes a number of excellent points.

View from the Left

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/opinion/03thu1.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha211

Yet another uninformed opinion minimizing the crushing tax burden and the extreme levels of unfunded liabilities.

Teachers Unions

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/education/03teacher.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha23

Typical left wing spin that minimizes the crushing tax burden imposed by teachers unions.

Public Sector Unions

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=42103

Ann Coulter explains public sector unions with her usual dose of humor and insight.

Public Employee Unions

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2011/03/02/williams-public-employee-unions/

This is why FDR opposed the idea of public employee unions.

Teachers Unions

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2011/03/02/malkin-teachers-unions-101-a-is-for-agitation/

Michelle Malkin calls out teachers unions.

Newt 2012

http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/newt-gingrich-prepares-for-856717.html

I have a hard time seeing how this is going to work.

Unfunded Liabilities

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704288304576170974226083178.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop

Charles G. Koch speaks out on unfunded liabilities and other topics.

Hate from the Left

http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/2011/03/01/limbaugh-hate-and-violence-from-the-left-its-not-right/

The double standard is an integral part of being liberal.

Arkansas Earthquake

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/us/01earthquakes.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha23

There are problems associated with every source of energy.

Not insurmountable problems, but problems requiring engineering solutions.

We Need Higher Taxes?

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/us/01poll.html?hp

Most Americans are against cutting pay/benefits of public employee unions and most are in favor of higher taxes.

Why didn't those people vote in the last election?

The Tyranny of the Left

http://www.gopusa.com/news/2011/02/28/police-wont-boot-protesters-from-wis-capitol/

Yet another victory for the tyranny of the left.

Liberal misbehavior

http://www.gopusa.com/theloft/2011/02/28/if-youre-a-liberal-its-ok-to-be-a-jerk/

Nothing new here. You can be outraged, but you cannot be surprised.

The double standard is an integral part of being liberal.

Department of Labor statistics

"Average hourly wages are higher for state and local government employees than for their counterparts in the private sector, according to data from the Department of Labor."

- http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/117034068.html

Of course. This why government unions are protesting. They want to preserve the advantages they bought with campaign contributions to Democrats.

Global Warming Hits San Jose

http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_17490259?source=rss&nclick_check=1

33 degrees on this date for the first time since 1897.

Global Warming Hits San Francisco

http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/02/26/winter-wonder-san-francisco-sees-first-snow-in-35-years/?hpt=T2

First snow in 35 years.

Global Warming Causes Colder Than Normal Winter

According to John Malan, Chief Meteorologist Storm Team 4, the winter was colder, snowier than normal.

Page 16C Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Sunday, February 27, 2011)

I could not find an online version, and thus could not provide a link.

He said that normal snowfall is 52 inches for Milwaukee.

It is 47 inches according to the following link

http://www.milwaukee.world-guides.com/milwaukee_weather.html

Insincerity of Public Employee Unions

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/117009498.html

This is why government unions opposed the Schultz plan, which asked unions to pay more for pensions and health care, but did not ask them to give up collective bargaining privileges.

League of American Voters

http://leagueofamericanvoters.com/

A patriotic organization working for a better America.

They just called me to ask me to support Gov. Walker, which I do.

Create your own budget

http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/116955263.html

If the projected budget shortfall is $3.6 billion, then why is the target $1.3 billion?

Uninformed Rioters

http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/116955243.html

Business as usual from the left.

They are all about creating the problem of a deficit but not any part of trying to solve it.

Union Busting

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/ct-oped-0223-goldberg-20110222,0,7574542.column

Interesting to note that President Kennedy lifted the federal ban on government unions despite FDR's opinion on why public employee unions were a very bad idea.

Tax the Rich

http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/116955013.html

The author asks for a temporary tax increase to solve the current budget shortfall, but these temporary tax increases have a way of transmogrifying into permanent tax increases.

The author mentions in passing near the end of his piece that the next budget shortfall is more than 20 times greater than the current budget shortfall. How does his temporary tax increase deal with that problem?

They Ran Away

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/116919338.html

"Our Democrat senators not only ran away from the state, they ran away from their responsibility," said Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin).

Senator Lazich is my senator, and she can count on my support.

Recommended by the people at Verizon as another resource for learning about Android phones.

Khalid Aldawsari

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/headlines/20110225-saudi-terror-suspect-who-allegedly-targeted-bush-appears-in-lubbock-court.ece

Accused of being a lone wolf terrorist.

Regardless of the guilt or innocence of this particular suspect, it illustrates one of the goals of radical Islam: to sow suspicion and distrust of all Muslims in America.

If they can stir a backlash against Saudi students, radical Islam strategists will view it as success.

Erwin & Emanuel

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/elections/ct-met-rahm-emanuel-transition-20110226,0,5545430.story

Repeated ethics violations are just business as usual for some people.

And of course Erwin did not inform Emanuel.

Why would she?

It was business as usual.

"Particularly troubling" does not even begin to describe this.

Erwin must have provided a lot of aid to the Obama campaign.
