From Redstate: In 28 states across the U.S., unionized workers can be forced to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. If workers refuse to pay the union, the union can order them to be fired from their jobs. However, since 1947, the so-called Taft-Hartley Amendments to the National Labor Relations Act [...]

Forcing the Corporate 1st Amendment Issue on Obama – If You Allow Knox to Diss the Pope, Then Protect Corporations From Leftist Agenda

By Veronica on February 4, 2010

Why does the Obama Administration allow Richard Knox, who sits on Obama’s Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Advisory Council, to castigate the Pope? When will the Obama Administration kill corporate finance of Knox’s Human Rights Campaign, a floodgate to campaigning for gay interests as it “works for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equal rights by lobbying the federal government, educating the public, [and] [...]

Discovering the Social Exclusion Agenda

I just learned that over in Europe, they have a new word for “poverty.” It’s called Social Exclusion: Social exclusion is a process whereby certain individuals are pushed to the edge of society and prevented from participating fully by virtue of their poverty, or lack of basic competencies and lifelong learning opportunities, or as a [...]

Green Tech, Non-profits & the Unutterable Word Describing Those Who Sell Themselves for $$

By Veronica on December 27, 2009

I thought so. Washington Times Editorial – “Greenbacks for Green Tech: Government Should Not Be Trying to Build New Industries” Idealism can’t change the fact that when real investors look at green technology and have to risk their own money, they are vastly more skeptical. That’s why private venture capital invested only $2.7 billion in [...]

Ronald Reagan Speaks Out On Socialized Medicine

By Veronica on December 21, 2009

Ronald Reagan quotes James Madison, to the Virginia Convention in 1788:  Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation.   I’m a Redstate Diarist.
