Wall Street, the Numbnuts Not the Movie
Egged on by a knowing wink from the president of the United States, other Democrat politicians, wealthy Hollywood celebs, and SEIU labor union goons, the children and grandchildren of sixties’ anarchists and probably not a few of those grizzled, old lefties themselves and the philosophical heirs of earlier radicals have discovered a new cause to occupy their time: trashing the capitalist system that has made America the richest, most powerful, nation on the planet.
There’s no point in staging massive demonstrations against the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya since George W. Bush is long gone and those unending conflicts are now their mentor’s wars so, what to do, where to go? Why, the epicenter of American capitalism, Wall Street, the place where over half of Americans invest for their future, of course!
The new hypocritical, insurrectionist crazies of the twenty first century have taken on the roles of the old twentieth century hypocritical, violent, insurrectionist crazies and titled their movement “Occupy Wall Street” as if titling their protest gives it some focus, a focus their forebears could boast of even if it involved defeatism, nihilism, and revolution.
To be sure, the Occupy Wall Street crowd and their fellow protestors in various other American cities share those same defeatist, nihilistic, revolutionary sentiments. However, unlike their predecessors who craved defeat and retreat in Viet Nam–and got their wish–who strove to reduce the American Dream to nothingness–and came close–whose deepest desire was the overthrow of our government–which failed–the Wall Street occupiers have no clear goals, no overriding doctrines, no logic or common sense to guide them.
They’re just generally malcontented with what they feel are societal inequities and angry over what they call “corporate greed” as they live in filth in Zuccotti Park with one of their slovenly number photographed defecating on an NYPD patrol car.
Consider that their cost-free encampment at Zuccotti is situated on private land owned by Brookfield Office properties; Brookfield is a multi-billion dollar commercial real estate corporation with offices worldwide which prides itself on its capitalistic successes.
Consider the anarchic and senseless and signs the Occupy Wall Streeters display; placards declaring, “Occupy Everything,” “Yo I Fucking Hate Cops,” “I Am Here Because of the Monsters on Wall Street” are just a few examples.
Consider the giddy chants of topless young white women . . .

Out of School Tales of Nuns and Other Educators
Out of School Tales of Nuns and Other Educators
The nuns always warned us about telling tales out of school, tattling, gossiping but since I’ve long been out of school I feel I can do it although the following aren’t really tattle tales or gossip. They’re scary but true tales.
Arne Duncan, who never taught a class or wrote a lesson plan in his life but did attend the elite University of Chicago Laboratory Schools and majored in sociology at Harvard, later presided over the disintegration of the Chicago public school system for almost 10years.
Apparently because of that sociology degree and his outstanding Chicago failure, Duncan was tapped by President Obama in 2009 to be the nation’s Secretary of Education, the rough equivalent of hiring Yogi Berra to teach logic to baseball players.
Secretary Duncan experienced a rare attack of honesty for a politician when he recently conceded, “And the best ideas, I’ve always said, in education are never going to come from me or frankly from anyone else in Washington,” despite the fact his cabinet-level department is primarily charged with establishing United States educational policy.
Needless to say, Duncan qualified his admission of his own and Washington’s ineptitude by saying that the best ideas are “always going to come from great teachers, great principals at the local level” where people better understand their communities’ needs.
Duncan was inadvertently raising the question of why a federal education department, created as the brainchild of Jimmy Carter, is needed at all and why its budget has almost tripled in a decade even as the nation’s educational system is rapidly approaching levels considered unacceptable in the Third World.
He didn’t answer those unasked questions and didn’t have to. Teachers and their overbearing national union, the National Education Association and its affiliates, provide the answers every election cycle when they show up en masse to support Democrat candidates as payback for government, i.e. taxpayer, largesse.
As a nitwitty teacher proudly said one Election Day in our faculty room years ago in response to a query as to how she planned to cast her vote, “I don’t know. I just vote for whoever the union tells me to.”
Teachers and other Wisconsin public employees know full well whom not to vote for, newly-elected Republican governor of the Badger State, Scott Walker.
The dastardly, union-busting, benefit-reducing Walker, the same governor who has put his state on a path to fiscal sanity and has actually added 43,400 jobs to Wisconsin’s payrolls according to the CES, the Current Employment Statistics survey, discovered once again the depths which unionistas can plumb when he visited the Messmer Catholic School in Milwaukee.
Governor Walker and his state had already witnessed those depths last winter when union thugs caused millions of dollars in damages to the state Capitol building in Madison, ostensibly in protest of his fiscal proposals but also in protest of his fair and democratic election. . .

May Day and the Communist SEIU
May Day and the Communist SEIU
May Day, the first day of the merry month of May, was once best known as the day of spring festivals, but that was in long ago and far away places. It is also the day which Catholics devote to the Blessed Virgin and offer prayerful festivities in her honor.
Last century, May Day became synonymous with a celebration of communists, anarchists, and socialists orchestrated by the U.S.S.R. to give their worker-drones a rare day off and the illusion that they mattered. Attended by massive parades in which the Soviets exhibited the weaponry with which it swore to bury the United States and the West, May Day is still associated with communists who today swear to subvert, corrupt, and destroy the U.S. and Western democracies as they now exist.
Most American organizations eschew the communist label because of the unsavory history of that group although many organizations profess the same subversive beliefs as communists and employ similar tactics and strategies to collectivize America and undermine our institutions.
Communism in the United States isn’t dead. It has simply retreated into the closet.
With 1.8 million members, the powerful Service Employees International Union, the SEIU, is one of the fastest-growing unions in America although it hasn’t yet flown the communist banner but it doesn’t have to.
Established in 1921 as the BSEIU and representing those employed in health care, (hospital and nursing home workers), public service employees, (local and state government employees), and property service workers, (janitors and security officers), the SEIU has become a formidable force on the American labor–and political– scenes.
An early and committed supporter of the candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, the SEIU exercised its political power during that campaign mainly through thuggery and intimidation. Following those strong arm successes, the union repeated the tactics at town hall meetings in 2009 for which numerous SEIU enforcers were arrested. Michelle Malkin has aptly described its shock troop tactics as “the persuasion of power.”
It’s a persuasion and influence they achieve not only by raw violence but by the happenstance that SEIU members calibrate and maintain voting machines in various localities.
The union was richly rewarded for its unstinting support and “persuasion” by being granted virtually unlimited access to the White House in the person of its former president, Andy Stern. Precisely what Stern discussed with Obama and Obamian functionaries and lackeys has not been disclosed. Based on the SEIU and Obama’s history, none of it could have been good for the country.
However, back to May Day . . .

Madness in Madison
Madness in Madison
It’s not quite at the level of the madness in the Mideast nor tantamount to the madness of King George but what’s happening in Madison, Wisconsin and elsewhere in the Badger State is getting close.
The newly-elected Republican governor of the home of the cheeseheads, Scott Walker, has proposed changes in teachers’ collective bargaining rights which, based on union interpretations, would reduce Wisconsin’s teachers to the level of vassals of the state. A more reasonable view of Walker’s plan is that it would save Wisconsin from its fiscal insanity and a declaration of bankruptcy.
With New Jersey’s Republican Governor Chris Christie as a model, Walker has also dared to take on the powerful teacher union and impose common sense constraints which would accomplish nothing more than getting public employee and teacher salary and benefits more in line with private sector pay and bennies.
Time was, many decades ago now, people entered government service and the teaching profession with full knowledge that they would be compensated less monetarily in return for greater job security.
Times change.
Today, thanks to the power of unions, workers in the public sector have been thriving even as their privately-employed counterparts have faced cutbacks, dismissals, reduction in pay scales, and elimination of health and other benefits. It was equitable in the past that teachers, et al. were able to trade off pay for job security. Now that they have far surpassed the private sector in monetary compensation, earning up to triple private salaries while still retaining employment security and almost unlimited benefits, it’s equitable that they help level the playing field.
The new governor’s practical and hardly revolutionary proposals have been met with outrage and lies by the unions yet they merely provide . . .

No Sex, But Lies and Audiotape
No Sex, But Lies and Audiotape
In a remarkable instance of forgetfulness, a close friend of Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie retracted his previous statements concerning a conversation he had with the governor concerning the increasingly-concerning issue of President Barack “Barry” Hussein Obama’s birth certificate and location of his birth.
So-called “Birthers” have been derided as partisan freaks for two years now by the White House and Democrat minions such as Abercrombie and “celebrity journalist” Mike Evans sought to clear the air last week on Minnesota’s KQRS radio. At that time, good buddy Evans “said he’d been told by the governor himself that Obama’s birth certificate was nowhere to be found.”
Speaking without an audioprompter, Evans specifically said on January 20th: “Yesterday, talking to Neil’s office. Neil says that he searched everywhere using his powers as governor . . . there is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii. Absolutely no proof at all that he was born in Hawaii.”
Listen to that blockbuster revelation here: http://tiny.cc/xbtzy
Less than six days later, Evans went public with his retraction. He was truly sorry for telling that whopper, if indeed it was a whopper, and was “remorseful and embarrassed that he appeared to have given the impression that he had discussed the search for Obama’s birth certificate with Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie:” http://tiny.cc/3ptm4
Appeared to give the impression? Evans had forthrightly and unequivocably stated he had called Abercrombie, “an Obama-lover,” as Evans described him, and the governor had admitted no such certificate existed.
With no suggestion of intimidation by either Abercrombie’s office or the White House, the celebrity reporter now says he misspoke, which is either a euphemism for having told a baldfaced lie, a CYA moment, backtracking to conceal the truth which neither the governor nor the president want revealed, or all of the above.
It’s odd, amusing, and pathetic how this inept administration keeps getting deeper and deeper into the Birther hole.
Another lie related to the administration is in process of being outed although the presidency isn’t immediately at stake in this one, just the president’s and Congress’ credibility.
Despite pledges that Obamacare would be administered fairly and equitably, in fact, . . .

Barack, Outed and Scorned?
Barack, Outed and Scorned?
Pay careful attention to the expressions on the faces of Rahm Emanuel and the Anointed One lately.
They both look more than a tad scared.
Not only is former Chicago ally, disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, affectionately known as Blago, ready, willing, and able to expose the president and his thuggees but now Obama’s prime idolators, his buddies in the extreme liberal fringe are turning on him like rabid pitbulls.
Moveon.org may have sounded the clarion with its call to its adherents to scuttle Obamacare to which the SEIU obediently complied but Blago was way ahead of them.
A week ago, Governor Blago’s lawyers demanded in federal court to make public “notes, transcripts and reports” of interviews with the Obamas, Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett and SEIU chiefs Thomas Balanoff and Andy Stern.
Blago’s defenders also sought FBI information on First Lady Michelle Obama, America’s Evita, but were advised she had not been interviewed by the Bureau.
Too bad.
Precisely what dirt could be gleaned from the feds’ interviews would be conjectural at this point but given the nature of Chicago and Illinois politics, it should be interesting at the least, emancipating for Blago at the best.
I still expect hapless Rod to be offed before he or his lawyers . . .

Maine, SEIU, and Bob Casey
Noteworthy News Items: Maine, SEIU, Bob Casey
The great state of Maine made a collective decision on Tuesday to buck the trend of its New England neighbors and to effectively make an announcement to its resident and non-resident homosexuals.
The Pine Tree State announced that it doesn’t necessarily condemn their lifestyle but it emphatically rejects their agitation for state-approval of what Christians call Holy Matrimony.
The vote to overturn the state legislature’s bid to extend Maine’s imprimatur to gay marriage stood at 53-47% at last count adding Maine to the 30 other states which have voted against same-sex weddings.
By judicial fiat, in five New England states plus Iowa such marriages have been legalized.
That vote is only relatively newsworthy compared to the reactions of one prominent homosexual.
According to the Bangor, ME Daily News, Jesse Connolly ”pledged” after their defeat “In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, . . . that his side ‘will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.’ “ (http://bit.ly/3FgU4K)
For some reason, that threat was omitted in most other mainstream news reports.
Just why Connolly is so committed to learning the addresses of “these votes” is unclear but it sure smacks of an effort at intimidation against those who voted to oppose gay marriage.
Could Connolly and fellow gays be planning to attack their opponents with their purses and feather boas?
Next, and lest we disregard the dedication and vicious nature of Obama supporters such as the Service Employees International Union, SEIU, take a look at this reaction to a rara avis, that rare bird, a conservative African-American.
Kenneth Gladney had come to demonstrate his rights to free speech at Rep. Russ McClanahan’s town hall meeting by distributing free “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when he was attacked by SEIU thugs.
“Gladney said he was giving out the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when someone walked up to him and asked, ‘Who in the (expletive) is selling this (expletive) here?’
“Gladney said he asked him if he wanted one of his flags, and the man (who was also black) asked Gladney, “What kind of n_____ are you to be giving out this kind of stuff?” (http://bit.ly/367DJ5)
One of those arrested in the unprovoked August assault on Gladney was Elston K. McCowan, Baptist minister, community organizer, former local SEIU director, and Green Party candidate for the mayoralty of St. Louis who had accused the mayor of racism: http://bit.ly/2fyUx4.
