The democrats in this country are all about the freedom of choice, or so they say. When it comes to choosing whether or not a baby should live, they’re all for choice but when you go after their money… LOOK OUT!!!!

A Michigan teacher recognized that DA UNION didn’t really give a rip about the kids or the school and decided he no longer wanted to be a  unionista……. DA UNION didn’t take too kindly to that.

GRANT, Mich.  – Ever wonder what it costs to quit a labor union?

For one Michigan educator, the annual costs of “non-membership” in the local, state and national teacher unions total $544.28.

But Andrew Buikema, 10-year teacher with Grant Public Schools, is willing to pay the price, just for the privilege of being seen as a true professional, instead of a union worker.

Michigan is not a “right to work” state, which means Buikema’s job is still affected by the district’s contract with the local teachers union, the Grant Education Association. The GEA is affiliated with the Michigan Education Association and the National Education Association.

Buikema has been trying to leave the union since last spring, when he realized that GEA leaders were uninterested in helping the district control costs, even in the face of a multi-million dollar deficit.

By refusing to make wage and benefit concessions, the union contributed to conditions that led to 27 teachers – including Buikema – receiving layoff notices. The district was also forced into making cuts to student academic and extracurricular programs.

Buikema’s job was saved at the last minute, but he was disgusted by the union’s selfishness.

 The union’s intransigence convinced Buikema that “the union doesn’t care about kids.”

“They keep asking for more and more, even though the school district can’t afford it,” he told EAG. “They’re concerned about taking care of the adults and have no consideration for the kids. I don’t want to be part of an organization that says one thing and does another,” he said.

Buikema said he was “raked over the coals” by his local union leaders when he suggested the GEA could help alleviate the district’s financial woes – and possibly help save some teaching jobs – by switching from union-owned and operated MESSA health insurance to a less expensive carrier.

Buikema estimated that the district could save between $530,000 and $980,000 annually.

Not only did local union leaders not like Buikema’s idea, but they verbally attacked him for even suggesting it.

“The amount of flak I got, particularly from veteran teachers, was ridiculous to the point of being unprofessional,” he said.

Buikema was also put off by the NEA’s new $10 levy on members to help re-elect President Obama.

“It’s the principle involved,” Buikema said at the time. “They’re taking money to support a candidate that members may or may not support. That’s a very big deal.”

So much for choice……

Utah School Board Says Cougar Mascot Too Offensive To Women

REALLY???……You can’t make this stuff up…..

I had the misfortune of listening to the ramblings of that liberal darling of Madistan, Kathleen Falk, on Wisconsin’s Afternoon News on WTMJ. The interview left me asking only one question…….

“What color is the sky in your world, Kathleen???”

She’s running for governor of Wisconsin because Scott Walker has basically ruined the state. How you ask?

Apparently Governor Walker is responsible for the largest cut to education since the invention of public education. What do I say???

FALK YOU KATHLEEN!!!!

If you feel the need to place blame for the reduction in funds for education, you might want to crank up the old wall phone and call your buddy Diamond Jim Doyle  and his pal Oblahblah and ask them about that. You see Kathleen, Jimmy Boy took a bunch of money from the Federal Government  to help feed the beast that is WEAC. Those funds are no longer available. If the money isn’t available to spend, you can’t add it to the education budget. You could have figured this out by applying some basic economic principles and math skills……. or ………… Maybe your lying…Hmmmmmmm.

What other madness is Governor Walker responsible for??? Did you know he gave 2 BILLION dollars in tax breaks to BIG YUCKY BUSINESS?????…… Once again kathleen….

FALK YOU!!!

Tax breaks are only available for businesses relocating to Wisconsin that hire Wisconsinites….. HOW EVIL!!!!!

Kathleen also complained about all of the jobs that were lost since Governor Walker has been in office even though the DWD is reporting that over 21,000 more people are employed in this state than the same time last year…… again with the basic math Kathy….

This is what the recall season is going to be like. One lie and misleading statement after another. I guess that’s just a normal election campaign for a democrat……

The Tax System Explained in Beer

comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like
this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing
The fifth would pay $1
The sixth would pay $3
The seventh would pay $7
The eighth would pay $12
The ninth would pay $18
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the
arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you
are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your
daily beer by $20?. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the
first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what
about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that
everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that
from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end
up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill
by a h higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the
tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he
suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to
drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their
savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He
pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too.
It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I
got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get
anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down
and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they
discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of
them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our
tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will
naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much,
attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In
fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat
friendlier.

It’s been 1000 days and this congress and president have not passed a budget. Now the Campaigner in Chief wants 1.2 trillion more of our tax dollars.

Oblahblah has been to 73 campaign functions and golfed almost 100 times since being immaculated.

800 billion failed stimulus.

500 million to the failed Solyndra that is now paying it’s executives up to 50 thousand dollars in bonuses.

Billions given to the UAW.

Obamacare.

That’s just scratching the surface…..

November can’t come quick enough.

The award for the most ridiculous sign of the recall season goes to this little gem…..

RECLAIM WISCONSIN????

WTF?

So unions, who make up 15% of the work force in Wisconsin, want to RECLAIM a 3BILLION dollar structural deficit

The unions want to RECLAIM  higher taxes.

The unions want RECLAIM local budgets that would call for the layoffs of hundreds of public employees including *GASP*…. TEACHERS…

What kind of “RECLAMATION” is that? It sounds more like the Greecification of Wisconsin…. or maybe the Spainification or any one of those socialist countryfications……

Over 300 million people in this great country and this is the best we can do???……

It’s not real hard to figure out why 41% of republicans in Iowa are undecided…….

As Alex and Matt Walker reach the time in their life when they are to decide which College to attend, do you think they will include any Wisconsin Universities in their choice of schools? If they would chose a Wisconsin school, how will they be treated? The libs, recallers and whiny union folk have already shown the public that they don’t care about anybody but themselves and will do whatever to whomever to get what they want. Do you really think a liberal, tenured, whiny, unionista, university professor would give either of these boys a fair shake?

It’s a real shame that this would happen but that’s the liberal mindset. These boys wouldn’t stand a chance in a Wisconsin University. I could even see them protesting their dorm rooms.

This is the sad state of the Wisconsin entitled left…….

Sad……. very sad

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals we are familiar with. A heard of cows, a flock of chickens, a school of fish, and a gaggle of geese . However less widely known is, a murder of crows, a dule of doves, and presumable because they are so wise , a parliament of owls….Now consider a group of Baboons….They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious and least intelligent of all primates…. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of Baboons ? BELIEVE IT OR NOT CONGRESS….. I guess that explains things that come out of Washington !!!!!!!!!

…. when the TEA Party was having protests a few years ago, TIME never even thought of”awarding” us the Man/Person/Thing of the year but when a bunch of entitled whiny losers start to destroy public and private property, crap on police cars and stink up the parks protest, they get high honors….

…. just sayin’.

Breaking Weather News from the Silent EYE News Team!!!

The terrorist, murdering, oppressive, dictator of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, dies at the hands of the very people he has been “ruling” with an iron fist for the last 40 years……… Now the Useless Nations and Amnesty International want an investigation into how he died.

I’ve seen the pictures so there really no need to post them here.

The obvious cause of death………. A severe case of LEAD POISONING.

Case closed, nothing to see here…. Let’s move along and maybe look into what that short little P.O.S. in North Korea is doing it’s citizens. That seems to be a good place to start…….

I have finally been able to gather my thoughts and work out a Jobs Bill that will allow for tax breaks for the greedy, job creating millionaires and billionaires AND help the low income,  middle class and unemployed that REALLY want to work.

My plan is called………

Immulus Stimigration 1.0

I.S. 1.0 is a combination jobs bill and immigration reform act.

How does it work?

PHASE 1

Since all of the poor oppressed lefties out there want us to be a communist nation with NO CAPITALISM and a toilet paper shortage, we  round up all of those Occupy Wall Street losers and lazy good for nothing gimme gimme gimme members of the “You Owe Me” entitlement crowd along with their SEIU pals. We give each one of them a one way ticket to the Communist love fest of a country of their choice. President Obama’s plan would cost about 450 BILLION dollars. Now the going rate for a one way ticket to Moscow is about $690.00 from Priceline.com. If you go back and use Obama’s numbers, we would be able to buy 652 MILLION tickets to Russia…. WAY MORE THAN NEEDED!!! We would also have take into account that the union folks would probably rather go to Athens, Greece to see how well the unions are working there. Those tickets are about $891.00 one way. A bit more expensive but as you can see, we have some wiggle room.

PHASE 2

After we send out our trash to their favorite Communist country, we send out an invite to those countries that supply us with the most immigrants…. say…… MEXICO. The invite will go a long with a lengthy screening process, provided by a private security company, to weed out any drug lords or gang members and more gimme gimme gimme “You Owe Me” entitlement types. If you pass the screening, you can come in to our country. We’ll give you an amount of cash that’s equal to the amount of the exiting one way air fare to get you started.

CAVEAT….. If the incoming immigrant breaks the law…… YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!!

You have to figure the majority of the people in this great nation are hard working folks who are trying to get by so I’m thinking we could probably get this done for under 200 BILLION. The stock market would boom and the jobs would return. I GUARANTEE THIS!!!

This is my plan. It’s one blog post long and I won’t go on a bus tour to promote it because it sells itself……

Have a nice day…….

silent E for President

2012

This past weekend was quite the exciting weekend if you’re a fan of  Wisconsin Sports. A clean sweep if you will. The Brewers go up 2 games to none in their playoff series against the D-Backs. The  Badgers welcomed the Nebraska Corn Gobblers to the Big 10 and the Packers…… Well…. They played Denver…. No need to say any more.

Many of you who know me also know I’m a HUGE fan of Motorcycle roadracing…. and a HUGE Ducati nut. This just added to my weekend sports excitement.

With little factory help from Ducati, the Althea Racing Ducati team’s top WSBK pilot, Carlos Checa, was crowned 2011 WSBK Champion!!!! This is a big deal in Superbike racing…. Ducati has put most most of it’s racing resources toward the MotoGP class leaving little help for the racing that made them the motorcycle superpower that they have become. This didn’t seem to phase the Althea team or 38 year old Carlos Checa at all. Don’t get me wrong here. 38 is NOT old….. normally. In motorcycle racing years, it almost Makes Checa a senior citizen. It’s a testament to Carlos’ physical training and abilities.

Congratulations Carlos Checa and The Althea Racing Team!!!! You made my weekend!!

For most of George W. Bush’s Presidency, the looney, Prius driving, drum banging, “can’t we all just get along”, clueless left had subjected us to all of their “No War for Oil” and “Impeach Bush” and “No Blood for Oil”  rhetoric and bumper stickers implying that the only way to get along with the people who want to kill us is to sit around a campfire and sing Kumbaya.

Along comes Barack Hussein Obama. The savior from Illinois, or Hawaii, or where ever he’s from with promises of ending the wars and releasing innocent terrorist, or at least giving them the same rights as American citizens. Barack Hussein Obama, who told us we couldn’t call radical Islamists, who want nothing more than to simply kill us all, TERRORISTS…..

He sucked all of them in with his messianic speak….. Ahhhhh that HOPE and CHANGE!!!!

Resistance is FUTILE!!!

With today’s news of the death of al Qaida’s Al-Awlaki, do any of the new messiah’s followers find it at all disturbing that the only good thing this guy has done during his 3 years of never ending campaigning and spending, is to preside over the best military on the PLANET that killed a couple of really nasty murderous douchebags????

Don’t they see the empty mats by the campfire???

Just askin’……
