Time Travel: Look at Greece to see our Future: Part II



Take a look at that picture: nothing in Greece is getting better. After generations of government take over of their economy, declining production and output and unsustainable spending, the public sector unions are saying "hell no we will not give back anything to save the country". Read it all here.

The reason why this story is so important to us is that it could end up being our story if we do not limit the size of our government and its spending and if we do not reign in the power of public sector unions to drive up government spending and choke off the private sector economy that in reality pays for all this crap.

It's that simple: either we change course or this is our future. Time travel is possible.

Peace and Love from the Left.......Not!



Remember Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Matthews and a whole lot more liberals crying and screaming about mean Tea Party people, death threats, insults, spitting, etc. Notice how no proof every comes out of this. The only violence at a Tea Party event occurred when SEIU union thugs beat a black man at a Tea Party Rally.

Well now the proof has surfaced........but from the other direction. As reported here, a teacher's union memo hints clearly at the desire of the union for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's death...........New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's take-no-prisoners demand for education cuts got him a whole lot more than he bargained for -- a death wish.

It was in a controversial e-mail sent by the Bergen County Teachers Union to its members asking that Christie be "taken" by the Lord.

In seven years as the Garden State's pugnacious U.S. Attorney, Christie got only two death threats -- from the bloods and the crips.

It took only three months as governor for an adversary to wish him six feet under.

"To have the leader of the Bergen County Teachers Union send out an e-mail to their 17,000 members asking them to pray for my death I think just goes beyond the pale," Christie said.

The e-mail in question was sent by Bergen County Education Association president Joseph Coppola in the form of a prayer, which said:

"Dear lord,' this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."


Of course the union claimed it was all a joke and that the email memo sent to 17,000 members was never meant to go public. Oh really?

Unions and Politics have always been a toxic brew......as government unions become more pervasive and more intense on preserving their taxpayer supplied benefits, unions and taxpayers and their elected representatives are more likely to clash.

Joys of the Socialist Unions



Americans who have never gone to Europe on a business trip don't know what they have missed. Go to Europe for 4-5 weeks on business and you can't hardly miss a French air traffic controllers strike, an Italian train conductors strike, or a Spanish taxi driver strike. It makes travel so,,,,,,well,,,,,,unpredictable.

But that is socialist Europe where the public unions are just another branch of the government and when they go out on strike, only one thing brings them back to work: money..............taxpayer money. America....SEIU is your future!
