Liberals regain majority with union support Trade Unions and the Left Geoff Bickerton Labour March 2, 2004 Recently I have been looking at some public opinion polls that looked at issues such as voting intentions, trade, public ownership, health care and education. On almost every issue trade union members are significantly more progressive than the other segments of the population. I suppose there are many reasons for this. Collective power probably gives union members the confidence to think more about the potential for changing things. Union education programs undoubtedly play a role. The democratic process of unions also requires members to discuss and debate issues. https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/trade-unions-and-the-left-geoff-bickerton Anyone who doubts that a strong leftward bias exists among the media should simply watch the almost hysterical campaign against Donald Trump unfold and then compare it to the ‘soft glove’ treatment Hillary Clinton is receiving. On the one hand, much of the media is baying at the throat of Trump for not releasing his tax returns. In point of fact, Trump is the prime owner of Trump Enterprises which is comprised of 264 subsidiaries bearing Trump’s name. His tax returns, therefore, are not simple but likely measure in the hundreds (or thousands) of pages. Should he release them to the media, that would be the end of his relevant information-based campaign. On the other hand, there is no question that Hillary Clinton received vast sums of money to speak to special-interest, Wall Street banking groups. Now, it takes virtually no imagination to conclude that those vast sums were paid for suggested favouritism toward that industry. (Clinton may be a fairly good speaker, but she is not worth those kinds of sums to discuss general politics.) One could easily suggest that what she told them was biased information in their favour — which would truly bear on her conduct as a future president if true. http://www.pqbnews.com/opinion/letters/389187201.html ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51JViH0oL6A

5 Uncomfortable Truths About Liberals When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they’re doing so for purely selfish reasons. It’s the human equivalent of a puppy dog’s face: an evolutionary tool designed to enhance survival, reproductive value and status. In short, liberalism is based on one central desire: to look cool in front of others in order to get love. Preaching tolerance makes you look cooler, than saying something like, “please lower my taxes” — Greg Gutfeld https://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2012/03/27/5-uncomfortable-truths-about-liberals-n727664 “Resist, or be swept away” No way I can improve on that perfect title. Although I have to say, regretfully, the author’s idea of what constitutes effective “resistance” has precious little in common with my own. There is a great deal of consternation in liberal precincts regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is good. It is the right of every American to voice their grievances. Abortion is a contentious issue and worthy of debate. There are reasonable positions both sides may debate which will likely reverberate for years to come. Unfortunately, most of the noise from liberals isn’t discussion the issue deserves, but a whirring, whining cacophony reminiscent of a fit a child might throw if told he can’t do something he really…really…really wants to do. https://coldfury.com/2022/07/06/resist-or-be-swept-away/ The Many Things that Democrats want to Ban (Running List) This is a compilation of the many, many things that American Democrats (often radical totalitarian communists wearing the mantle of “progressive liberals”) want to ban. This is a running tabulated list that originated from an earlier post about busybodies. There, I argued that Social Justice Warriors (SJW) was just another name for a busybody. This is a set aside list tabulated by request. It supersedes the extensive list on an earlier post about busybodies. Remember, boys and girls, all bans are a restriction on freedom. Go ahead and shake your head in disbelief. These people are friggin’ lunatics. https://metallicman.com/laoban4site/the-many-things-that-democrats-want-to-ban-running-list/ Florida Tells Schools: Ignore Biden's Transgender Policies - or Else The state of Florida has instructed public schools to ignore a Biden administration executive action that would force schools to open girls’ showers, locker rooms, restrooms, and dormitories to members of the opposite sex, and to let males compete in women’s sports. The Biden administration announced in June it would interpret Title IX, a federal law banning sexual discrimination against women, as though lawmakers intended “to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.” https://washingtonstand.com/news/-florida-tells-schools-ignore-bidens-transgender-policiesor-else DC Mayor Muriel Bowser requests National Guard help after busloads of migrants cause ‘crisis’ Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the National Guard step in to help handle the arrival of thousands of migrants from the US-Mexico border, saying the nation’s capital has reached a “tipping point.” In a July 19 request for assistance to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Bowser reported that “over 4,000 individuals arriving on nearly 200 buses” have come to DC since April, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey pledged to put migrants on charter buses to protest the Biden administration’s immigration policies. https://nypost.com/2022/07/28/dc-mayor-bowser-requests-national-guard-help-as-migrants-arrive/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s5GWbQIUVM
