Union Leadership Mentality Makes No Sense

How embarrassing to watch the rank-and-file union zombie puppets going through their December 2012 orchestrated moves during Michigan’s Right To Work battle.  Looks like the union leadership may end up with egg on their faces, and upper union management doesn’t like a facial omelet. 

As I mentioned in an earlier article, I live in a small town (though it is called a ‘city’) with a population just shy of 12,000.  What is left of the downtown area has little to attract the retail shopper.  We have three main grocery stores: one union and two non-union.  The union store is near the center of what is left of the retail activity and has a non-union store on both edges of town.  What  does this have to do with “union mentality (or lack of it)?  Read on.

Only a few miles to the left of the union store (all three are on Main Street) is the newer of the non-union stores.  This store has excellent prices which generally put the union store to shame.  The store less than a mile to the right of the union store also has prices which attract a value conscious shopper.  THIS store has had union zombies (generally four) picketing for over three years. These robots have been standing on the public sidewalk in front of this store holding their silly signs so long that they have become invisible to the store’s shoppers.

I know a retired area union arbitrator who shops at this non-union store.  I have asked him what the union point is. Even he cannot figure out the logic of wasting dues-payers money for pickets spanning over three years.  If they had a point, it has been lost.  If I was a member of this union (thank God I am not), I would be demanding to know why my money was being wasted on this little store in a Podunk town.  The sad reality seems to be that most union dues-payers don’t question, because they just want their paycheck, benefits and retirement – and simply don’t want to rock the boat. How selfishly and sickeningly sad from my perspective.

Want to hear an interesting twist?  Many of those who have been picketing for the past three-plus years are union members who work for the “big” grocery store in town.  Though most of the picketers are assigned from other areas, local folks recognize the faces of those who work for the “big” store and it could appear as though the “big” store is trying to crush the “little” store, though that may (I have my doubts) not be the case.

Want to hear an even more juicy twist?  The “big” store owns the little store a few miles to the left of them on Main Street.  Is it simply coincidence that this non-union store has not been picketed for the past three-plus years while the non-union store to the right of the “big” store has.  Only a moron – or upper level union goon management person would answer “yes.” The sad fact seems to be that most of the low level dues payers have no clue and could care less about how their dues are being spent and wasted or how they are being manipulated.

The Wrath of God

 

I make no apology for writing about God and things in the Bible which, I think, relate to the current world in which we live and the mess we have created and are continuing to compound.  If you are offended that I bring GOD into the equation , I am (shallowly) so sorry but simply will not apologize.  It is what it is, and we are where we are in history.

I check out many informational websites and TV programs, both secular and Christian on a daily basis.  Recently I watched a sermon by one of my Christian heroes, John Hagee, who pastors a large church in Texas. I like Hagee because he does not ‘mince words.’  John Hagee does what very few (whether Christian or secular talking heads) do.  HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS from a Biblical perspective.

In his preaching/teaching, he said that the United States had “crossed the line” (spiritually) when our current Administration in Washington, under the leadership (?) of President Obama,  endorsed ‘same sex’ marriage.  I applaud Hagee’s stand, because most ‘religious’ tax-exempt organizations are way too concerned about their tax-exempt status to actually take a stand on anything.  That is because the IRS, ACLU, our current President and his administration have intimidated them into a state of fear, numbness and ineffectiveness. 

Our so-called “leader” is now considering going to the Supreme Court to have California’s 2008 ban on same-sex marriage ruled unconstitutional.  If it wasn’t so pathetic it would actually be humorous that a President who has ignored our founding document, the rule of law, our Congress and the will of the (taxpaying legal) people in his first four years would suddenly embrace our Constitution. That would (or should), to any thinking individual, whether liberal or conservative, appear to be the peak of hypocricy in a national leader.

If you know anything about the Bible, you are, or should be, familiar with the destruction of the Old Testament cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of God’s disgust with how the majority of the inhabitants of those cities had turned from following Him in pursuit of their own perverted sexual lusts.  Maybe you muse at this bit of history but I doubt that there is much to laugh about in the eyes of God. 

Our nation has silently stood by while over 55 million babies have been murdered since our Supreme Court said it was OK (Roe-v-Wade) to kill kids in the womb. More recently, the courts have said that it is OK to kill them once their heads are exiting the mother’s body, so long as the little person is pushed back in so that the “doctor” can stick a surgical instrument into their defenseless brain to kill them.  Do you still support this ideology?  

Our nation has stood silently by as our egomaniacal  leader has pushed his socialist agenda on our nation.  We have continued to sit back on our fat apathies while allowing our nation to step completely outside the will of God. 

Executive Orders – all bypassing Congress or the will of a majority, which lifted the wimpy ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Clinton decree in the military, sidestepping an actual decision,  his Executive appointments (payback for union election money?) to the National Labor Relations Board even though Congress was still in session, the “Affordable (far from it) Healthcare” mandate that employers, regardless of their moral or religious convictions, would either pay for, as part of their medical coverage, contraceptives and abortive procedures, or they would be fined out of business, the “path to citizenship” for people who are here illegally while people who have played by the rules of applying for citizenship must now move to the “back of the bus.”  Rosa Parks was the last legal American who had a right to take that seat at the front of the bus!

I understand the “gimmie” crowd that is going for all of the freebies they can get and will contribute nothing, other than the sales tax which they cannot get around BUT, I do not understand even the most liberal/progressive/socialist American citizen who can support this President who is hell bent on disarming those of us who bear arms legally, while sending arms and airplanes of war to those leaders in other countries who hate our guts., not to mention our southern border which he refuses to close to all but those who enter our country legally.

If you have even a scant knowledge of the Bible, then you will understand my closing thoughts.  If not, then you will either laugh or dismiss them completely.  All I will say is shame on you.

My parting thought is that if God does not pour out His wrath on the United States very soon, then He owes a huge apology to Sodom and Gomorrah.  If you don’t know what I am talking about, do some research.

To Liberals, More Is Never Enjough

Early this year we ‘celebrated’ the 40^th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s murderous decree in the Roe v. Wade case.  Since that spiritually satanic ruling, a number approaching 60-million murders has occurred.  The most damning reality is that this Supreme Court decision has made murder of the unborn legal.  When President Obama’s former spiritual leader of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, uttered the words asking that “God damn America,” had he been preaching about the killing of our most vulnerable – the unborn, including the partially-born, I might have been one of his cheerleaders. The wrath of God deserves to be poured out on a nation which professes to follow Him yet condones the killing of our most innocent – the unborn.

Way back forty years ago, the issue was a “woman’s right to choose.”   OK, whether or not I agree with the ‘wisdom’ of the legal decision, it became the ‘law of the land.’  But, as the title of my article states, liberals are never satisfied.  They always want more – at the expense of us all.

Had this moral issue stopped with a woman’s ‘right to choose,’ it might not have become the mega-moral nightmare it has become thanks to our current President and his progressive administration.   This President and his goon squad are forcing American employers to pay the cost of providing contraceptives and abortive procedures as part of their employee health insurance packages.  For business owners with religious or personal convictions which oppose the murdering of unborn babies, this is a sin against their God and their conscience.  But, the Obama goons say “You will do it or we will crush you with daily fines.”

The tidy liberal name for abortion or killing has always been “pro-choice.”  That, of course, means pro-murder, pro-killing, pro-infant slaughtering.  Excuse me for caring about the most defenseless among us, but I find it repulsive that all of those who are champions of ‘pro-choice’ are probably the same individuals who would spit on a person wearing a fur coat.  How dare you selfishly condone killing an animal so that you can wear a coat made of  fur,” they would hiss.  Hypocrisy just doesn’t get much bigger than that.

If a woman wants “morning after” pills, they are legal.  She can either take precautions the “night before,” or she can buy her own pills.  Makes sense to me. 

The insanity of this administration’s threat to put companies which do not comply with this Godless mandate out of business defies logic.  They fine a company to the extent that the company finally closes its doors, putting all of the employees out of a job.  That sure doesn’t sound like compassionate governing to me.  It sounds like the outer edges of a dictatorship.

And all of those employees who will suddenly find themselves unemployed will add to the tax burden by applying for unemployment, food stamps, and an endless list of freebies.  Hey, maybe that is really what King Obama wants, but he and the rest of his elite crowd are too dumb to realize that if they reach their goal of having everybody at the public trough, who will be left to provide the dollars to buy feed for that trough?

Abortion: It’s A Guy Thing Too

Abortion: It’s A Guy Thing Too    http://www.westernjournalism.com/abortion-its-a-guy-thing-too/

 1-24-2013

According to the pro-life website, Life News  (http://www.lifenews.com/), on January 22^nd, the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision,  our nation marks 40 years of legalized abortion in all fifty states at any time and for any reason throughout pregnancy.  That Supreme Court decision has resulted in approximately 55,772,015 abortions – let’s call it what it is – murder of babies.  That number may escape you. It is nearly FIFTY-SIX-MILLION   babies.

Don’t give me that sanitized garbage, by calling these human lives “fetal tissue.”  If it is legal in our country to murder them, then they deserve the dignity of being called babies .. children (of God) .. human beings.  And please don’t feed me the pathetic liberal female line, “It’s my body and I have a right to choose.”  Well lady, you had a right to choose before you hopped into the sack and had unprotected sex. When you forfeited your obligation to do the ‘right thing,’ you gave me and other men and women who believe in the sanctity of life a right to challenge your self-centered view of life.

A very long time ago I was having a conversation with a moderately conservative female friend and we got onto the topic of ‘abortion.’  Her opinion was that women should have the ‘right to choose.’  My question to her was, “Aren’t you thankful that your mother didn’t decide she didn’t feel like going through the hassle of having and raising a kid – you?”  She was silent.  She is now deceased.  Her name was JoAnn.

 I said, “JoAnn, I have my rights and you have your rights, but nobody is looking out for the most vulnerable among us, those unborn babies.”  She still remained silent.  Maybe she knew deep down inside that I was right.  I still am.

At another point during my male journey through life, I talked about abortion with a liberal female friend.  We have always been close because, though we have always fought  like cats and dogs on issues about which we are individually passionate, neither of us has ever feared  rejection.  I guess that is what real mutual respect is all about.  

She said that, of course, she would never have an abortion, but it should be the woman’s “right to choose.”  She then went on to talk about all of the poor people in the ghettos and how it was ‘humane’ to abort because if those kids were born, they weren’t wanted anyhow and would never have the love or opportunities that others have.  WHAT LIBERAL TRIPE!  Not ONCE did it occur to her that maybe that unborn kid should have a say in the final decision. My goodness, the kid might have become the next United States non-white President – instead of what we are now stuck with for another four years.

I apologize not if I offend you, but a nation which allows fifty-five million babies to be murdered, is hypocritical to act concerned about the lives which are taken because of deranged individuals firing weapons in public places.  Believe me, guns kill far fewer human beings nationwide than do Planned Parenthood encouraged/financed (?)  abortion assembly lines.

The liberals say, “Take away the weapons and the killings will go away.”  Dream on, little libbie.  However, if you make requirements for abortion (excluding issues regarding the mother’s life or incest) much more strict, and cut the federal mandate that employers must even participate (under penalty of law) in this infant genocide, then maybe lives will actually be saved.  The lives which have no representation except for those of us who realize they are the most defenseless among us. In this issue, I can say, without hesitation, that “GOD is on our side.”

DOJ Declares War On All Non-Muslims

Holder and Justice.  Two words that just don’t work well together.  Holder equals ‘political agenda.‘  Justice equals ‘a level playing field for all legal, law-abiding American citizens.

Our United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, with marching orders (I have no doubt) from the Oval Office, has decreed that anybody who says anything which might hurt the feelings of Muslims – whether in the mainstream media, on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, websites or even private emails, will face retaliation from the government which is supposed to protect us.

Yes, Big Brother is snooping everywhere, even our emails and Facebook posts.  So much for Freedom of Speech — the First Amendment to our Constitution.  These dirtbags use our Constitution as a doormat.  ‘Executive Orders’ have bypassed our legislative branch, lame as it is.  Our President and his Departmental puppets have become a dictatorship.  Apparently we are all (except for Muslims and illegals) supposed to ‘toe the politically-correct line’ or we are in very deep doo-doo.
Sorry Misters Obama and Holder, but I was running laps on this track of life when you were both still wearing doo-doo filled diapers.  I have seen our nation and government change over the decades since I began to seriously watch this political sideshow.  Yes, there have been lots of good changes.

At the forefront was the end to racial discrimination laws, segregation and separate education – but those were championed many years ago, when there were still passionate leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King leading the fight.  Now, all we have left are, for the most part, political prostitutes (why do Jackson and Sharpton come to mind) who use Dr. King’s ‘Dream’ to keep blacks on the government welfare plantation so that they, themselves will not have to get “real” jobs.

A recent article by WND reveals that, “In its latest effort to protect followers of Islam in the US, the Obama ‘Justice’ Department warns against using social media to spread information considered inflammatory against Muslims, threatening that it could constitute a violation of civil rights.”  Excuse me, but this sure does sound like ‘profiling’ to me, and that’s the very thing Obama, Holder and Napolitano have been accusing Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio of doing.

So, let me get this straight.  In the eyes of Misters Obama and Holder and Ms. Napolitano, it is covered under the First Amendment for a so-called  “artist”  to display a crucifix (called “Piss Christ”)  in a jar of urine (though it offends followers of Jesus Christ), or to say that the Holocaust never happened (which is an insult to Holocaust survivors, their families, all Jews and others).   This has happened because the so-called “silent majority” (good and decent folks with good and decent values and a love for America) have remained silent way too long.

It really is time for each of us to use that quote from a very old, yet still timely, movie, “Network.”  The quote:  “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.”

Frankly, I have no intention of shutting up or being silenced by Holder’s Goon Squad.  I may end up in a secured facility, courtesy of the United States taxpayer,  but I will be getting free food, free rent, free cable TV, medical treatment and the best of everything else taxpayer money can buy – for sitting on my butt and doing nothing.  This is obviously what the “American Dream” has become.

Should that happen, I just need to find a very patient pet lover to give my very spoiled cat, Buddy, a home where he will be loved – often in spite of his actions.  It’s kind of the way God loves you and me.  Our nation really is in very deep trouble.  Is there a way out? I have my doubts.  Source!
