At my local range. Last night’s meeting was a doozy.

See the club has grown from a hundred and change to several hundred members, and keeping up has become more difficult. Used to be it was just a place for a few guys to come and shoot, and now it’s become ungainly and more management is needed. The last five executive board elections consisted of ‘Show of hands. Retain these guys?”

Now since more work needs to be done more involvement is required, and that needs to change.

The debate was- to say the least- very, very heated. Pounding of fists. yelling. Some screaming even (OK, that might have just been because I took my shirt off)A lot of flaring tempers, and a lot of hot heads.

And every single member was armed, some very heavily armed.

Oddly enough, nobody got shot. Imagine!

TEACHERZ IZ BEING TREATED BADLY!!!1!!eleven!

The median income in the US is about 50K a year. THe average income of Chicago teachers is over 70K a year.

Teachers who are not accountable to anyone.
School dropout rates are near 50%
Its nearly impossible to get rid of a bad union teacher
They don’t work three months out of a year.
If they do get summer jobs their income, of course, increases.
Money they pay in union dues finances the campaigns of liberal hacks.

This is all- as others have commented- Kabuki. Rahm couldn’t just give them what they wanted because he would look like the scumbag he is. He had to let them go on strike so he could say “They’re holding our children hostage!” (Not his, mind you, they go to an expensive and exclusive school. Don’t want them to mix with the wetbacks and schwarzes in the public school) Now that they’ve had a couple days of strikes they’ll “Come to an agreement”. And he’ll be able to say ‘They had me over a barrel, this was FOR THE CHILDREN!” And he’ll claim victory because he gave them only 20% instead of the 30% they asked for, but since the system is already stone broke, they will be unable to foot the bill, so guess where your taxes will go? Oh, and one of the things they’ve already given up is the right to cut pay or benefits if the budget isn’t there to provide them.

When criminals fight with criminals over YOUR paycheck, guess who wins? Everyone but you.

Horsewhipping would be a kindness, I’m telling you,

was designed- at least partially in spirit- to protect the first. And the first is under attack.

This is nothing new, of course, Freedom of speech and assembly are constantly under attack anywhere liberals exist, but it’s taken the first step over the line, as Pascal shows here.

The left currently has the exective power to suppress speech, not just in the way their allies in the media have done by not broadcasting anything buttheir propaganda, but now boldly and openly. I hope you’re paying attention.
