We have. We're tired of being taxed to death funding pensions for public employees. Time for the gravy train to come to an end.
Unions are the reason many towns, cities and states are going broke. They scream and holler about their bargaining rights. They haven't lost those. They can negotiate their wages all they want. The changes are that they can't hold their employer hostage over benefits and pensions, which are not rights at all but "extras", sometimes called "fringe benefits". Unfortunately, taxpayers have been footing the bill for so long that public employees now have come to think of them as some sort of "rights" that they are entitled to.
The other change, overlooked but huge, is that Walker wants employees to have the right to decide for themselves whether they want to pay union dues or not, and that's making the union bosses hopping mad because it is a threat to them - the thread of loss of power and money.
I had to shake my head at a sign one of the pro-union protesters was holding, something about them being "working families" -- as if the taxpayers who foot the bill for them aren't working families.
Yep, time for the gravy train to come to an end. It's a different world, a different economy, a different reality, and we all have to make the necessary adjustments. No more temper tantrums from the Democrats, nor the unionized "public servants". We're at the end of the line, folks.
Maybe because there hasn't been anything in the news lately about bombed clinics or murdered doctors? If something of the above happened in the past couple of weeks and I missed it, please let me know.
Dr. George Tillman was murdered on May 31, 2009 by an pro-life activist, well after Palin was on the scene.
Didn't hear a peep out of Sarah about it, did we?
Looks like Sarah likes to pick and choose which terrorst activities are worthy of her scorn.
BYW, terrorist threats againd abortion providers are an ongoing, everyday occurrence, don't hear Sarah speaking out against it.
No, not when it comes to setting bombs off and murdering people. I don't condone that for any group and I would speak out against any group that did......but not Sarah.
Sarah objects to union protestors, who have not set a bomb off or murdered anyone, yet she supports the pro-life movement which has done both, over and over again. She is a hypocrite.

How can you compare union protests to murder??
Isn't that comparing the proverbial apples to oranges?
By the way, one really should not pontificate without doing the research first. Sarah most certainly did condemn Tiller's murder and said that violence is never the anwer. The left (Huffpost et al) pounced on her for not calling it "terrorism", but how is that different than Obama refusing to use the word regarding radical Islam? Everyone knows that al qaeda is involved in planned, organized global terrorism -- including recruitment of suicide bombers, yet Obama refuses to use the word terrorist to describe them. Did the left condemn his failure to call them terrorists?
