Reports Of The Death Of The US Are Greatly Exaggerated......

Extraordinary scenes across the pond, where an attempt by the progressives to recall a standing, elected governor due to his 'anti-union' stance (i.e. bringing to a halt the automatic deduction of union fees from salary, something causing serious angst amongst the more unhinged of the 'Guardian' crowd) have failed utterly, miserably, completely, leaving them...

Well, this really sums it up:




Yeah, kid, you'd have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those pesky voters...

The US has come a long way since the days of Dick Tuck in the 1966 California State Senate Election. And not for the better.

Yet the U.S. is probably in better position to fight back as they're not all as acquiescent as we are.

They haven't been disarmed.

Venezualans have been disarmed, expect a real decent into chaos as government fights over the slaves once chavez dies.

If that guys a 'Blue Collar Voter' then the White House is an example of inner-city social housing.

If only we had a politician that had the balls to actually do away with the "Union Modernisation Fund" rather than just talk about it...

Well, yes, and there's the right to bear arms issue that Sarton points out. But they are getting there.

"If that guys a 'Blue Collar Voter' then the White House is an example of inner-city social housing."

Indeed! He is, however, a sterling example of the modern progressive when balked.

"If only we had a politician that had the balls to actually do away with the "Union Modernisation Fund" rather than just talk about it..."

That would certainly be a step in the right direction.

Paraphrasing Jack Handy: it is easy for me to mock these people. But I cannot mock them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.
