AFL-CIO Twist And Shake

I had to almost laugh at the email I received today from the organized crime bosses. Reading their email sounds just like listening to Democraps - lies, deceptions, intentional misdirection.

The email tells the work history of one Sue Tizzano - a casino dealer, how the casino she works for got infected with a new union, and suddenly her life is a bed of roses. Here is an excerpt from this story:

After 16 years, I'm only making $8 an hour. I am a single woman. I have a mortgage and bills to pay. We don't have a prescription plan. I can't afford to buy medicine and the health insurance-that I have to pay $21 a week for-is so bad, my doctor won't even take it. . . . Tired of being treated with a lack of respect, the 850 dealers voted 572-128 to join the UAW.

Strip off the whine and cry story and here is the reality of this story:

• Sue Tizzano has worked by her own choice at a casino. She has worked for the same casino for 16 years, again, by her own choice. After 16 years she makes only $8 an hour. After 16 years she wants more money and more benefits. She doesn't want to work more - but she just wants more.
  
  
• Sue had no respect for herself. If she did, she would have taken steps to improve her skills 16 years ago. She could have had an upper-level degree, even a PhD in those past 16 years.
  
  
• Sue Tizzano made the choice to stay with a low paying job. Sue made the choice not to advance her skills and marketability. Sue is among the growing lazy sector that wants more for doing something an unskilled laborer could do.
  

The union did not give Sue any additional self-respect. They gave her a bill for union dues. Enjoy the new monkey on your back Sue - you deserve it!

Same Old Democrap

Is there nothing new? Seems like across the country it's the same old theme - Democrats are pushing for BIGGER government, Republicans want smaller government. Democrats want MORE government control; Republicans want more choices in the hands of the individual. Consider:

Minimum wage - by analogy Democrats support handing out a fish while Republicans would rather teach people how to fish on their own and catch as many as they want. The underlying reality is Democrats want MORE government manipulation and control of the workforce. Democrats don't have the interests of individual freedoms as a priority.

Education - In Bush's State of the Union address the push for school vouchers was made. Democrats oppose this because it would mean more freedom for parents and goes against their desire for BIGGER government. Vouchers also are a threat to their union sponsors (yeah, unions control Democrats if you don't already know that). Republicans want less government control and are pro-parent choice. Democrats don't have the interests of individual freedoms as a priority.

Murder - Even as a child is being delivered Democrats say murder (late-term abortion) is ok - that a mother has some sort of judicial right to kill that child. While I am ok with extremely early abortion in the case of rape, incest, or other criminal activity I find it sick that Democrats promote late-term abortion - murder. And Natzi Pelosi had the nerve to be surrounded by children during her coronation - what hypocrisy! Democrats also are the party that opposes the death penalty. What is it with murder that appeals to Democrats? Democrats don't have the interests of children as a priority.

Failure - Have you ever heard a Democrat express their plan to protect America from terrorists (they rather protect and cuddle them)? Have you ever heard a Democrat express how to make Iraq a success story? Don't hold your breath - they never will. At one blog I posted a comment that maybe Democrats cutting off funds for Iraq or taking some action to cause our failure in Iraq would empower terrorists so much that I doubt Democrats would be in power for 50 years. Hmmm - maybe a short term loss would be a long term gain?

English - A bill introduced in the House calls for an amendment to the Constitution to make English our official language. Don't expect Democrats to be excited about this one. Having a formal common language would instill pride - something Democrats reject. Democrats thrive on confusion and disarray. Just watch and see if I'm right - and I am. Heck, think of all that money it would save various governments in printing costs alone! Democrats don't have the interests of America as a priority.
