The landscape, Spring 2011

  As Tea Party rallies took place across the country, union and special interest thugs were out with their bullhorns, children screeching profanity, and uplifted middle fingers.
  Cruise the usual websites, particularly conservative, and the evidence is there. Personally I am too sickened to link to such behavior or show video, although I'm glad that others are exposing it for what it is. The behavior exhibited by these cretins, some of whom call themselves professionals, is too uncivilized.
  It is indeed disheartening that so many Americans can be so dim witted not to see that Judgment Day is comin' with regard to finances, and that pensions are simply underfunded to pay out the kinds of dividends promised.
  It is also indeed disheartening to see that these same patriotic Americans, to whom Tea Party dissent is unAmerican, are willing to resort to almost any measure to get what they want: viz., their stuff. 
  Their money. 
  Their pensions. 
  Their perks.
  Their cheap or free health care. 
  Their way of life.
  This, even while the other Americans who pay their wages suffer, unable to meet their own mortgages or pay their gas bills.
  Rather than being interested in creating wealth, union workers are often more interested in snatching it from others by their work, which entails providing a service, not a product.
  These patriotic Americans are eager and willing to punish those few persons in this country who are financially successful in business by divesting them of all they can and will earn.
  So irrational is the thinking that these patriotic Americans don't seem to realize that rich resourceful people have options; they don't have to hang around here.
  As usual, the media is out trying to slam Tea Partiers and those who are trying to ameliorate the problems by ridiculing various aspects of personality, skin color, gender or intelligence.
  The media slams the entire Republican field, even though only a few candidates have actually declared interest. While many decry starting the campaign too early, media persons are taking advantage of The One candidate field by ridiculing his opponents, declared or not.
  They're doing the ground work for 2012.
  Even the fatties can't seem to understand that the reason Trump is at the top of the polls is that he is refreshingly pointed in his criticism of the absurd Chauncey Gardiner we have in office we have now, unlike many of the other apparent candidates.
  They prefer not to acknowledge that Trump is an amusing 18 month distraction for the giddy and foolish press who giggle like mean schoolgirls (wearing knee sox) at anyone who dares challenge The Lightbringer, Captain Lightning in a Bottle, The One.
  Meanwhile the chicanery at the White House continues.
  It's altogether depressing.
  Well, maybe, and maybe not.
  The Democratic base is riled up, although they're still managing to cover it, unlike the Republican base, who are holding their stupid legislators to account.
  A whole passel of unpaid bloggers are riled up enough to expose the chicanery and detail the flaws.
  The Tea Parties continue.
  Conservatives are far more vocal than before.
  The nuts are being exposed.
  A few heroes are rising up:

It's ironic to watch so many so called establishment Republicans who seem to want to be leader of the free world dance their way around the more serious political battles of our time. They criticize, they pontificate, or editorialize, yet from ObamaCare to a budget deal, they're also careful to not too directly engage. The same can be said of them for what has played out in Madison, Wisconsin over the past month.

Whether it's talking about death panels, or blood libel, to now showing up in Madison - that's not former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. As I said to a friend and colleague tonight, wherever the current battle is, that's very often where you can find Palin. One of the first requirements for leadership is to show up out front. No one will ever accuse Palin of not doing that. Doing so also has an interesting side benefit for any would be leader. When you lead, people tend to follow and support you, even if not at first.

  Again over at Verum Serum, the unionization of the USA is exposed for what it is. He says the unions are Winning, DUH! 
  He means, sorta like the Charlie Sheen type of Winning! Duh!
  As the desperation increases, the bad behavior increases.
  Does that sound like they're winning?
  Mmm, don't think so. 
  When you're screaming the F word, banging pots and pans at a 14 year old speaker, it's pretty obvious that whatever you're doing isn't working and, like a degenerative Thomas Harris series that started out with an interesting storyline but deteriorated to unspeakable perversion, the liberal union movement has passed its time.
  These people are mourning its death. It lasted for 40 years; the idea of living without it is inconceivable.
  The death of the all powerful union is imminent. 
  People are going to have to adjust.
  Just sayin,'
