All Teachers Unions Must Fall, Not Just Wisconsin’s

Hate is What Unions Sell

This situation in Wisconsin has brought out the truth about unions: they peddle hate. Unions are exactly what Democrats try to claim the Tea Party is, a hate-filled, uncivil, mob of name callers.

The Personna Isn’t The Politician

You’ve probably heard people say that politics is “showbiz for ugly people.” That’s true in more ways than one. Most (but, not all) of the politicians in D.C. are playing a role.
