The answer to the Teachers Strike in Wisconsin is simple. 

These Teachers obviously do not really care about teaching their students.

So...Governor Walker should take a page out of the Ronald Reagan Handbook on dealing with strong arm mobsters...

Give the teachers until Tuesday morning to get it out of their system...order them back to work...and if they do not report for work on the morning of the 22nd...FIRE THEM!

Do what Ronald Reagan did with the Airline Traffic Controllers...tell them to get back to work or they'll lose their jobs and never work in their field again.

Guess I would not last long as a Governor...huh?

As far as Unions go...they should be outlawed anyway.  Nobody should be forced to pay for Protection. 

Paying for Protection at work is no different than paying some thug insurance money so he doesn't burn your business down at night while you're home sleeping.

Thugs are criminals who do not want to work...and they want to be paid for doing nothing.  Sounds like the Unions to me!

My own Father joined the Teamsters out of fear.  The thug mobsters were shooting truck drivers while they were sleeping in their trucks, if they were not in the Union.  May he Rest In Peace.

A friend of mine tried working for a major freight company in St. Louis a few years ago...and I will not say which company.  He was cornered in the break room by three Union Thugs who told him if he did not join the Union...they'd break his knees.  He decided he did not want to work there, around such kind of criminal thugs.

FIRE THE TEACHERS...and replace them with people who really want to teach kids...people who really care about the education of children.

So…somehow asking Teachers to pay  5% of their earnings towards their retirement and about $200 a month for their Health Insurance is now considered turning the clock back to a minimum wage America. ???

My whole family is big in education…I’m the only uneducated dolt in the bunch.

My oldest Sister retired last year, and she was a Principal over a fairly large Middle School in North Carolina.

My younger Sisters was the President of the Illinois PTA for 2 years…and sits on the National Board of PTA for the entire nation.

Teachers are no different than anyone else…they want respect…they DEMAND respect.

You respect those that present themselves deserving of respect.

Teachers in Wisconsin screaming “Fight like an Egyptian” deserve no respect.  They are conducting themselves like 3rd world people.

What a spoiled bunch of people these Teachers are.  Let me tell you what I know about Madison, WI.

I delivered produce three times a week to the Woodmans Stores all over Wisconsin for eight years.

This was from 1990-1998 and it was sad around Madison.  The property taxes are extremely high because of the (Progressive) University of Wisconsin being located there.

One night, I was walking around the Store nearest the University and I heard somebody crying.  I’ve got a soft heart and I care about people…so I checked it out.

I found a little old lady sitting in her car in the parking lot near the building crying her eyes out.

She told me that her and her husband had work hard all their life and had paid off their home so they could live there through their retirement until they passed on.

Well, her husband had passed away first, and she was left alone in the house…and for several years things had been okay.

But she could no longer afford to pay $12,000 a year in property taxes…property taxes that were used to pay inflated salaries of Professors.

She was homeless…and that very morning the Police had removed her from her home…all of her belongings were sat on the lawn…and her home was to be sold for the taxes owed on it.

I’m sure some Professor snatched her home up for little to nothing compared to what it was worth in the end.

It is a good thing I’m not Governor of Wisconsin right now…because all of those Union Thugs would be in jail for whatever reason I could come up with.  Assembling without a permit…littering…whatever reason…lock them up and let them think about their actions.

What is going on in Wisconsin is why many people can no longer show respect to Teachers.

Wisconsin has many very good people in it…I’ve met a lot of them over the years.   But, Madison Wisconsin is an embarrassment to the rest of the State.

What do I know about Unions?  My Father retired after 35 years as a Teamster.  He had no idea the Labor Movement in this country was funded by the Communists.  And I never had the heart to tell him…may he Rest In Peace.

Unions encourage violence…I’ve experienced that first hand driving a truck the last 36 years.  I’ve had to cross picket lines and did so according to Union Regulations.  Once in Albert Lea, MN back in 1981 (maybe 82?), I had dropped my trailer the afternoon before a Strike was to take place at midnight.  The next morning I had to go back and pick up my trailer that had been loaded by Union Workers…with product made by Union Workers.

About 300 Union Meat Packers stood between me and my trailer…and they would not listen to anyone.  Not their Union Reprentatives…not the Police…not anyone.  They had started drinking on the picket line at midnight and after eight hours they had a pretty good buzz going.

I went to a pay phone and called the gate Guard and told him when he heard my horn sounding to start opening the gate.

Funny how those 300 hundred Union Thugs scattered the closer my truck got and I was probably doing 40 M.P.H. when I passed through the gate.  Guess I sobered them up a little.lol

They armed themselves with bricks and bats…and waited for me to leave.  What great fun we had that day…lol.

Yeah…my truck got banged up a little…and somebody tried to shoot one of my steering tires out and only put a hole in the rim…but I got the meat delivered for those Union Thugs.

This is just one story of about a half a dozen I could tell you about crossing Union Picket Lines.

Unions have served their purpose in this country, and it is time the decent people in this country take a stand against them.

Kudos to Governor Walker for doing so…and I support him in his actions.

Such an embarrassment…Teachers taking their kids out of class and having them protest…the poor skulls full of mush had no idea why they were even there…. It’s a good thing no Teachers ever did that kind of thing with one of my kids…as it would have been on like Donkey Kong.

Governor Walker…call out the National Guard and round these Thugs up…and lock them away from the decent hardworking folks in this country.

That’s how I see it…

I know things are hard in America right now.  Who got us to here does not matter at this point. We can argue whether it is the fault of the Left or Right until the cows come home…and it ain’t gonna change a thing.  When your house is on fire you got to concentrate on putting out the fire and worry about what caused it later.

Getting a job can be tough in some parts of the Country right now.  But you got to try…you can’t give up…just because somebody tells you today they are not hiring, go back every week and sometimes your determination will show through.

You’ve got to put down the mouse and step away from the computer…get up off the couch and put down the TV clicker…you got to get active.

I’ve been there…I’ve been right where you are at this moment.  When I got out of the Army, I was living in a pop up camper in my Sister’s back yard.  And then I got active…and started walking the same route everyday…asking the same people if they had a job for me.  I asked sometimes 200 people a day if there was work for me at their business.  TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE told me “No” day after day….

And one day…the Manager of a business told me to come back the next day and he hired me.  He actually hired me in as the Manager because it turned out he was the District Supervisor.  And I tripled his sales…

Focus on what will help you get work and quit feeling sorry for yourself.  Get tough my friends…as that is something people don’t seem to have anymore. 

It seems Our Government has become the enabler and we have many people that prefer to scratch in the dirt with a short stick…rather than grabbing hold of a root and learning how to growl.

Are your hobbies or interests making you money?  Then put them down and walk away from them until you get back on your feet. 

If you can’t find a job…create one.  You don’t have to be that damn smart to figure out something that is needed in your area that nobody is providing.

You may think blogging is helping you keep your sanity…but it is not putting food on your family’s table. 

It don’t matter what anyone thinks of you…and you can be mad as Hell at me for writing this…but I am not the one keeping you from getting a job…YOU are keeping you from getting a job.

Now…put down the mouse…step away from the computer…and go ask 200 people for a job.  Keep doing that for as long as it takes…then when you are back to work come back and tell me how much of an asshole I am….and then thank me.

Okay…I know that I’m just a lowly Truck Driver…but this is a no brainer.

President Obama has a plan to cut 1.1 Trillion Dollars over 10 years.

Since we are, at this point, 15 Trillion Dollars in debt….. I guess that means……..

We’ll be out of debt in about 140 years. Doh!

And this is the best Obama has to offer?

This is who the Democratic Party claimed could save America???  The Great Progressive/Marxist brain???

End Foreign Aid, stop funding The Arts.  Kick people off Disablity that have nothing wrong with them. Reduce the size of Government by 50%…stop providing entitlements to people who have entered our country illegally.  Make people that are healthy, work for their entitlements.  Unless somebody has a serious disability (missing limbs or blind) make them work or they don’t eat. 

Legalize Marijuana and put a tax on it.

Create money to pay off the debt by doing away with Trust Funds for the Wealthy…and demanding 25% of their net worth from their estates when they pass away.

Create a $5.00 a month tax to be paid by anyone receiving internet service.  It could be collected on their monthly bill paid to their internet provider.

Do away with all the Czars…we don’t need them in America.  Maybe they needed Czars in Russia…but we don’t need no damn Czars in America!

Put a box you could check on your tax form to donate whatever your return might be to help pay down our debt.

The Government should get out of the Mortgage Business…

Create a Law that requires the people to vote on a pay raise for the President and Representatives.  No more voting yourself a raise in the middle of the night…

Just a few ideas from a lowly Truck Driver thinking from the passing lane.

Oh yeah…one more thing…tell the Muslim world, “the next time an American has his head cut off…or some act of terrorism can be traced back to Muslim Extremists….we are going to level Mecca!  Mecca will no longer exist…not one building left standing.”

So…you supported the removal of the President and Government of Egypt.  Good for you…but will you be able to live with it? 

It was the Muslim Brotherhood who organized this take down of Mubarak…and you supported it.  Good for you…

Do you think the Muslim Brotherhood did this to provide Democracy to the people of Egypt? lol Because freedom is a sin in the Islamic Religion, and this is about power.

If…Egypt should embrace Sharia Law…and women who that suffer rape are stoned to death…how will you feel?  If they start cutting the hands off of people caught stealing…will you be able to sleep at night?

Egypt has went from a Dictator to a Military Dictatorship…and you think that is an improvement???

Let’s hope you are right…and they will have open and honest elections with several candidates to choose from.  But I doubt it…  I think it will be a one man…one vote election of an Ayatollah.  Let’s hope I’m wrong.

If this had not been organized by the Muslim Brotherhood…they’d have my support.  This is about power and the shift towards Sharia Law in my opinion.

Always remember that President Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood on this…as you see Egypt slip into an Islamic nightmare of Sharia Law.

The people I’m listening to right now who live in Egypt are scared…they do not know what to expect…and they know how quickly their country can become just like Iran.

When Iran fell to the Islamic Extremists…it hurt President Carter.  And Preident Obama supporting the Muslim Brotherhood will come back to bite the Long Legged Mack Daddy on the butt too. 

Just my opinion.

You got your wish…the President of Egypt has been removed.  The real question is… Who will take his place?  What one man…one vote election will take place to put a new Ayatollah in charge of Egypt?

You think the Muslim Brotherhood was behind this to spread democracy?  Freedom is a sin in the Islamic Religion…and this was not about freedom.

This was about Sharia Law…and only time will tell how much this will put America and the rest of the Free World in danger.

As for me…I watch with great amusement.  People who really think this is about freedom really amuse me.

We will know in less than a year who is right….whether Egypt will embrace Sharia Law.  And I hope that I’m wrong.

Notice….I’ve not said anything about the Long Legged Mack Daddy….so don’t get your panties in a knot.lol

While President Obama is advising Mubarak of Egypt to resign because there is a couple million people in the streets protesting him. 

Last April 15, 2010…about 40 million people (my estimate) attended Tea Parties in America because they were unhappy with the fascist policies of President Obama…and he did not even think of resigning!

What’s up with that?

2 million protest and Mubarak should resign…but 4o million protest and Obama doesn’t even think about resigning???

I think the real agenda to what is happening in Egypt, is an attempt by President Obama to usher in a Muslim Dictator from the Muslim Brotherhood.

Is it just me…but don’t you think it’s odd that President Obama chose to speak to the Muslim World in Cairo…and now the people of Egypt are demanding Sharia Law…and calling it Democracy? LMAO!

Pay attention…you know men by their actions…not their words.  President Obama loves his Muslim Brothers…and I think deep down inside he embraces countries that have Sharia Law.

We need to stay out of what's going on in Egypt.

If we've learned anything...it's that the people on the Left will turn against and abandon our soldiers as soon as they get involved.

The actions of the Leftists in America have convinced me...we need to stay out of other countries...like Darfur and Haiti...and Egypt.

Let the people stand on their own feet...as we don't want to be accused of "Nation Building."

Just my opinion...as I've learned well watching the Leftists in this country.

American Pride

She was brought to America forty years ago from Argentina...and on Wednesday...she ended up in the back seat of my taxi.  She'd worked hard all her life...and then got sick.  I had been called to take her to the Doctor...and found the woman to be inspiring.

As I drove she explained..."America is such a wonderful place... When I got sick...(under that evil George Bush) the government stepped in and started helping me...and the sicker I got the more they helped."  "They've been paying my rent and keeping my electric on...they've been paying for my medical treatment and even paying for my taxi to get back and forth to the Doctor."

This is an example of our "broken health care system" that we've heard so much about.  And this woman had nothing but good things to say about America.

She was in my cab for 30 minutes as I drove her to her appointment.  And she just kept telling me how lucky she was to be in America...and how proud she was to have earned her citizenship...and how much she loved America.

A couple hours later...I was dispatched to pick up a guy who has been here eight years...he'd immigrated here from  the Czech Republic.  He talked of the hardships he and his family had endured to get to America.  He described growing up in fear and how his family immigrated here...how proud he was to be an American.  I got a lump in my throat listening to him express his love for this country.

The last thing he said before he got out of my cab was..."God Bless America!"

Such a contrast...as later in the day...this entitled American got in my cab telling me how much he hated this country.  He must have said it a half a dozen times...he hated America.  He was upset that they changed the Rapid Refund thing with getting your tax return back.  He'd just left H&R Block and had been told he would not get his refund for 8-14 days.  "I hate this fucking country!"  He said.

It was hard...not telling him what I really thought...to keep my mouth shut and just drive him to his destination.  I wanted to tell him..."there ain't no rock tied to your stinking lazy ass...if you hate America that much...why don't you immigrate to someplace where you will be happy?"

Choose your battles wisely...and this did not seem like it was worth the effort.  I just got him to his destination as quickly as possible and got him the hell out of my cab and away from me.

We need good people to immigrate here...to constantly remind us of what we take for granted.  We need people to LEGALLY IMMIGRATE here and to assimilate and become pride filled Americans.  This is the future of our country...as the Entitlement Generation of America often hates America.  They've had everything handed to them...and they expect everything done for them.  Many have never worked a day in their life...and yet they expect the Gub'ment to take care of their every need.  They don't contribute to America at all...like the first woman I wrote about had done all her life.

We have an Entitlement Generation of people...they take and take...and give nothing back to the system.  We need these legal immigrants...because if we are left with only this Entitlement Generations of America...we are through as a Nation.
