The signs of protest –
Have you ever taken note of all those signs that protesters carry about? I’m not referring to what they say, but how they are made, for example from a side torn from a cardboard box with crude lettering, no artistic talent exhibited, some of them are supported with sticks, others held awkwardly by their edge during march. Surely they could do better if they wanted to.
But nicely constructed signs are artifacts of the establishment and are out of place in an anti-establishment crowd. A crisp well drawn sign on a fresh piece of poster board represents an accomplishment. But the intent is to present an image of impoverishment and oppression. It takes a motley sign to do that. So motley signs are what they make.
The labor unions supported Obamacare –
But when they found out what is in it, they didn’t want it. As I recall, neither did the members of Congress who voted for it. Oh sure, they wanted it for others, but not for themselves. Our lawmakers have their own plan. They know what’s in it and they want to keep it.
One year ago, labor unions like the SEIU and teacher’s unions applied for waivers to shield 40% of their members from the requirements of Obamacare. Under this administration, what labor wants, labor gets. The waivers were granted.
Putting their worst feet forward –
The Republican Party has Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Governors Chris Christie, Scott Walker and Mitch Daniels. The nominees for the Office of the President are Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachman, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney. The Party has the right people; unfortunately the best of them are not running for the higher office.
There can be little doubt that consideration of the amount of filth that would be thrown at, not just the candidate, but also at their families is a factor. It is one thing to be willing to sacrifice yourself. It is quite another to choose a path that will submit you loved ones to the same heart wrenching fate.
