public employee unions?
They aren't the Barbarians, they are just the latest of a long line of RightWing Whacko boogeymen.

If we can't figure out who the barbarians are, this Roman analogy needs to die. Perhaps we can throw it to the lions.

Although I must admit, the drive from Civitavecchia to Rome sure reminds me of Central Coastal California. Just substitute the Mediterranean Pines for Live Oaks, the road signs from Italian to English and you feel right at home.

Naw, they are the Praetorian guard that protects and at times disposes of the rulers.

That's the dumbest statement I've seen in a long time. You've outdone yourself in lack of balance and reality.

Unions own LeftWing politicians including your governor who let them in the public sector in the first place.
