In an effort to win me over, no doubt
Yes, I went on a bit of a rant against the unions on this past weekends show. If you missed it, you should be sure to check it out on the home page. It ended with a great discussion between myself and the Content Czar about the whole union issue, she being in favor of unions and I being opposed. However, I am not a completely unreasonable guy, and I have noticed today some new things coming about in specifically the Wisconsin labor dispute and in general labor relation issues. I'm not sure why all of this is coming from Wisconsin or it's neighboring state Minnesota, but I am pretty sure these maneuvers were an attempt to win me over to the union's side in the fight.
With President Obama declaring section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act to be un-constitutional, and having his justice department announce that they will no longer defend the law, my first thought was "who does this guy think he is". If you said "President of the United States", you would be wrong. A President in our Representative Republic knows that it is the job of the courts, not the President, to determine the constitutionality of laws. And few should know that better than this one. After all, he is at the same time declaring one law un-constitutional and refusing to defend it and pushing implementation of his own Health Care Reform law that a court has declared un-constitutional. My concern is not with the defense of marriage act here, because gay marriage is a total non-issue to me. My original concern was with the precedent that is being set here. My latest concern, however, is a bit different.
Rush Limbaugh has always said that when liberals are out of power, they are funny. When they are in power, they are dangerous. If you ever doubted that logic, all you have to do is take a look at the last 2 years and compare them to this year. I know, I should be angry about the fact that Democrats from my state and Wisconsin have decided that the best way for them to represent us is by taking a vacation in Illinois, right? Let's face it, folks. It's too funny to get mad about. I haven't seen a temper tantrum this good since Howard Dean lost Iowa. Leave it to these clowns to make him look marginally sane. Hey liberals, didn't you just spend the last two years calling the Republicans the "Party of No" because they voted against you? Did you seriously do all of that to become the party of no show? I'm just saying. Hey Democrats, don't look now but you're not 3 anymore. You can't go hide in the corner and pretend that the world isn't there anymore. You can't hold your breath until mommy gives you that... on second thought, maybe you should try that one!
When President Obama was inaugurated, he
