Yesterday was a great win for America!
I tend to agree. I'll qualify this post of mine with this info:
1) My Dad was the President of the teachers union in an area just south of Chicago, back in the day. In Illinois in particular.... there had been a long, long history of a "Democratic political machine" controlling both the state government and the city of Chicago, big time. Bordering on total corruption... the kind you hear about over in the national landscape of Russian politics. So, back then, the teachers needed a strong union, to get a decent salary/benefit package, in the state of Illinois.
2) Years later, after Dad was retired.... he told us that the unions like Teamsters and the Brotherhood of Auto Workers.... had gained TOO MUCH power, and were now out of control. This coming from a man who had negotiaited 3 major and impressive contacts for teachers.
We have to 'evolve' our ideals and tactics, as the government attempts to take more and more control of our lives. But not all elected officials are trying to restrain our freedoms. SOME, actually love this great nation, and are only trying to save her, and maintain our "greatness" in the world. They have an uphill battle.... as the long established and embedded various legistalors fight tooth and nail to see that our freedoms are restrained.
But I believe, as I'm sure many of you do, that our very survival as a nation and world power.... must be accoplished with equal doses of "protecting our freedoms" and "fiscal responsibility". IMHO, yesterday's re-call election in Wisconsin, was in fact a WIN for patriots with like thinking.
PLEASE, take a single minute, and read this article in my link, below. It is quite well written and insightful.... and I was very surpresed at what I read, considering the news source that published it on-line.
