My Beef with Public Sector Unions and the Goons Who Defend Them

By Patty Ewing Robichaud on March 7, 2011

“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” – Thomas Jefferson

One of the big stories dominating the news is the crisis in Wisconsin and the problem a the public sector union. Public opinion is divided, and the liberal media is only telling part of the story.

Union members would tell you that they are protecting their own. Liberals will tell you that unions are good and true champions of the middle class.  In fact, some of the latest assaults on on those opposing union rule are becoming more subtle and try to assure the reader of their “truth.”

Leadership Lost

By Craig Andresen on March 7, 2011

As the violence in Libya moves into its third week with Gadiffi continuing to use his weapons of war against his own people, the Obama administration continues to duck its responsibility. The world wonders why? So do I.

There was a time when the world looked to Washington in times of trouble the likes of which we now see in Libya. They looked for leadership, for action and for the protection of those who reached out for freedom. The United States stood for and WITH freedom. Seemingly and sadly, that is no longer the case.

Why I Support Jon Huntsman Jr.

By Jennifer Stephens on March 6, 2011

Why I support Jon Huntsman Jr.

Huntsman is a moderate, which may lead some to call him a Republican in Name Only (RINO), but I think it would be much more accurate to call him a realist. By making compromises on the some issues, he gains goodwill (or debts, to look at it another way) that can be used to get votes he needs on other, more important, issues. Or accepting a compromise can keep things from going too far. For example, compromising domestic partnerships, to keep the issue from getting to actual same sex marriages. This is something he did while Governor of Utah.

Communications Matter

By Patty Ewing Robichaud on March 6, 2011

If there’s one thing I love, it is debating with liberals. In fact, this is a new revelation for me as I never argued politics until 2008.

Let’s face it, in the 2008 election, conservatives got stomped on. Were we wrong? No – clearly not. However, I believe we were not prepared for the radical war of words, actions and ideology we encountered.

Heck, even Hillary Clinton wasn’t prepared! She and her campaign were bullied out of arguably her right to run as the Democratic candidate for president by thugs invading her rallies.

Liberals VS the Second Amendment

By Craig Andresen on March 6, 2011

Seemingly, it happens whenever there is a high profile event with dire consequences. It has happened before and it WILL happen again. Someone unhinged goes off and starts shooting. People get hurt, people die. It happens, somewhere, every day but only when it happens in a high profile situation do the liberals/socialists come out step up and proclaim they have the only sensible answer to future acts of madness.
