Seething, palpable hatred might decide summer's recall elections that foreshadow national elections come November. [...]

Academic freedom is given lipservice at Hamline University in Minnesota where a GOP gubernatorial candidate for the faculty is blackballed because of his political views. Why are we not surprised by such blatant bias on campus? [...] The labor union inspired Wisconsin Civil War continues unabated [...] "Hi hi! Ho ho! What did you learn in school?" The three "Rs" of course, reading, writing and arithmetic. Plus another if you're a nine-year old in Portage, Wisconsin: How to protest at the Capitol in Madison. Will the left stop at nothing, nothing at all, to indoctrinate our young ones? Read and weep: [...] 'Credible, specific death threats' are ignored by mainstream media. Republicans take cover. Weird things are happening in the Badger State. Something's rotten there, and it's not the cheese. [...] Unions overplayed their hand thinking they had public sympathy for their benefit excesses, extracted from compliant prior state legislatures. Now they are licking their wounds and getting ready for their next hate-infused recall election – Gov. Scott Walker's next year. It will be a doozy. Will public-sector unions face defeat again at the hands of "people power"? Or [...] Two key issues not addressed in public employee unions' recall efforts remain mostly hidden from public view. Media conspiracy, maybe? And are collective bargaining "rights," rights at all? Were these "stripped," as alleged, from privileged public workers by meanie Republican Governor Walker's wrecking crew in that budget reform bill? Answers herein. [...] "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. . ." — Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister (1979-1990) [...] Are John F. Kerry's medals also in danger of being yanked? Don't count on it. Why his acolyte, retired US Navy Captain Wade Sanders, had his Silver Star for battlefield gallantry revoked, is a mystery. Will incurious news media get to the bottom of the story? Answer: It's doubtful. [...] In the widely-watched Anthony case, a young mom "walks" because of jury selection? Same as the first O.J. trial? Couldn't they connect the dots? Did its inherently "liberal" nature, albeit not in the political sense, turn the jury off to the prosecution's case? [...] Government shutdown idles 24,000 state employees. Governor holds state budget hostage for higher taxes in an already high-tax state amidst a severe economic downturn. What is WRONG with this picture? [...] Supreme Court strikes down lower court ruling of a liberal activist judge. Governor Scott Walker and Republican majorities are vindicated while the awesome power of public unions lording over ordinary taxpayers is curtailed…at least for the moment. in the Badger State. Automatic withdrawal of members' union dues from government paychecks takes a hit in the new law, causing overriding concern for [...] Politicians preserve a political safety net for a cash-rich monopoly that enriches their party while news media snooze. How do you spell institutional c-o-r-r-u-p-t-i-o-n? (Psst! With a capital "C" as in Capitol.) [...] Escaping notice in Wisconsin's hotly-contested "collective bargaining" scrap is the real-deal issue: The coercive force of governments to serve as unions' bagmen through involuntary payroll deductions of dues from paychecks. [...] Tooth-'n-nail battle of public unions to save self-proclaimed "rights" that are privileges is a struggle against fiscal sanity and against ordinary tax-paying Americans. [...] In Wisconsin some are more equal than others. [...] Ascribing to it the worst of motives, the Obama administration tried secretly to impose costly new regulations to expand Medicare under Obamacare. And nearly got away with it. Transparency, anyone? Not, apparently, from this administration. [...] Academicians take a whack at the Greatest Generation of Americans in a display of woeful ignorance laced with cheap, revisionist slants at World War II history. Now is the time to scream to high heaven about this travesty spawned by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). [...] Shakedown attempt targets giant Minnesota-based retailer. MoveOn orders boycott of 1,700-plus Target stores. It fails, even though touted by a falsely-premised TV spot — which is rejected by one network, MSNBC-TV. Back-to-school shopping public does not buy into boycott. Target sales increase. The whole squalid story of a tawdry attempt at a shakedown is here… [...] Free speech is at issue. MoveOn would stifle it based on a wild-eyed charge of supporting homophobia. It's intimidation, a shut-up extortion demand aimed at the Minnesota-based second largest retailer in the nation. Who's next? Walmart? Sears? Dairy Queen? [...] Cries of racism flung by liberal politicos and their media allies deal the race card. Just when you think relative racial calm is at hand, with a post-racial president, along comes an explosion of racial epithets that would sadden black author James Baldwin. A historical perspective on the ups and down of race relations in America . . .with [...] Convicted felons and ACORN-driven voters handed the wacky "Saturday Night Live" guy a slim win in the 2008 election in Minnesota. Allegations of voter fraud are stonewalled by county prosecutors and ignored by liberal local mainstream media. Why are we not at all surprised at all the tomfoolery? [...] Rule targets price-breaks for the ladies. What’s next: Ban senior citizens’ discounts? Free meals for kiddies at family restaurants? When busybody bureaucrats team up with lawsuit-happy attorneys, trouble looms. Big Brother stirs. Lunacy prevails among the North Star State’s brave new bureaucrats. [...] Umpires make bad calls all the time. Why not use modern technology to overrule the imperfect human eye and imperious nature of umpiring? [...] Except for good luck and a bomber's ineptness, hundreds in Times Square would be dead or maimed with a little help from the New York Times. [...] |
