Time to rein in unions

If you needed a clear picture of why Unions need to be severely restricted and held to a higher standard, read this story.
It is bad enough that unions have saddled us with crushing debt through unfunded pension liabilities while guaranteeing themselves early retirements and unbelievable job security while garnering compensation far in excess of similar jobs in the private sector.
But even worse is the pervasive attitude of power and entitlement.
When unions think it is acceptable for them to shut down transportation and vital supplies in order to secure insulation from real world difficulties (thereby doubling the pain of those on the hook for their comfortable lifestyle), they show how incredibly dangerous they have become.

Union leaders and thugs who commit or allow crimes like those being committed in Europe and in the Mediterranean, should be jailed for their actions.

Bad winters in the midst of warming?

The Eco-Apparatchiks keep telling us we will suffer increased warming and worse weather because we emit too much of a gas required to sustain life itself.
No evidence to the contrary can be allowed or acknowledged.
Everything must fit the predetermined model.
So how will they handle the prediction of the worst European winter in 1.000 years?
And how will they spin the worst spring storms in living memory in New Zealand?

The hits just keep coming and the leftists behind the Global Warming hoax keep "denying" the truth (with help from the complicit media).

Fishing I can support banning

I think that Paul Watson is a grandstanding ass and a thug.
He is an over-the-top ham when the cameras are on and he surrounds himself with zealous acolytes bent on violent confrontation rather than civilized change.
I cannot fathom why anyone would watch more than a few minute of "Whale Wars" without changing channels, but it is still on the air (proof of idiocy in the viewing public).
Having said that, he and his group are (at least in part) trying stop true abuses and prevent overfishing.
I hope they focus their energies on the emerging issue of illegal fishing where not only are fishing stocks being depleted illegally, but crewmen are being treated as virtual slaves.

Goo-Goo Genocidaires

This is a great article on the subject of the groups not given proper blame for horrible crimes they are in no small part responsible.
It is a ten minute read, so I will summarize for the "no time to spare" crowd.
History books, histories, and period movies ignore the culpability of "Peaceniks" in many of history's worst chapters.
The clergy, peace activists, pacifists, and academics are responsible for convincing governments and the public to ignore atrocities by evil leaders like Stalin, Mao and Hitler as transitory growing pains that would go away if we would just make nice and given them a little more power, land, or subjugated populations to sate them.
They helped to disarm America; Europe; and China, making conquest less costly for the Axis during WWII.

They are still at it today.
They are behind the ridiculous protests against freeing countries from evil theocrats and dictators and they fight any attempt to protect American interests, even at home (border control).
As long as they are not linked to the damage and death they are responsible for, they will continue to do their harm while patting themselves on the back for stopping the "evil warmongers" right up to the point of losing their freedom to some Marxist regime they have empowered.
