NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:

&lt;i&gt;Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.

And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.

This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary. These are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights and collective bargaining. That simply is too high a price to pay.&lt;/i&gt;

The teachers stand and applaud.

The unions are a business and nothing more.  Like other businesses, including many if not most so-called &quot;non-profit&quot; businesses, they should not be considered anything other than for-profit businesses.  Their agenda is self-serving and no one should be deceived by their emotionally appealing semantic games.  The managers and employees profit from their venture, and the investors, teachers in the case of the NEA, receive a return on their investment.  However, unlike the evil corporations, there are many in the public and private sector, that would pretend they represent a higher ideal, and should be exempted from the regulation affecting other for-profit businesses.

The left-wing conspiracy continues to unfold and reveal its true nature.  At least the evil corporations do not hide their motivation or intent.

If anyone is concerned about a private monopoly, then they should be terrified of a government monopoly.  There is no alternative with the latter.</description>

		<description>Speaking of traitors in our midst:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116310&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Coca-Cola spearheads 1-world climate tax&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Coca-Cola is spearheading a coalition of more than 100 companies pushing a United Nations climate treaty to bind the U.S. to cap-and-trade emissions regulation, commit the world&#039;s wealthiest nations to a potential $10 trillion in foreign aid and, possibly, form a proposed international &quot;super-grid&quot; for regulating and distributing electric power worldwide. &lt;/i&gt;

$100 million for a health care &quot;reform&quot; vote.  What do Coca-Cola and other businesses stand to gain from this conspiracy?

Hilarious!  The deluded and morons in this country, thought that &quot;redistributive change&quot; would mean they would exploit other Americans, exclusively for their gain.  They failed to comprehend the nuances of &quot;hope and change.&quot;  They failed to recognize the other 6 billion people in the world, whose standard of living is even lower than theirs, and have no opportunities, thanks to their corrupt, power-hungry &quot;leaders&quot;.

I just wish they could have learned their lesson without forcing us to share their burden.

Note to Industry of Racism and Prejudice: You&#039;re not alone.  There are many others that profit for promoting division.  Get in line.</description>

		<description>SNL possesses more journalistic integrity than all of the liberal media outlets combined!

SNL, US News, Chris Matthews, ...

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlmQgW_uvNQ&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chris Matthews Criticizes Obama&lt;/a&gt;

You know something is wrong, when even liberals stop denying reality.  Looks like the honeymoon is over!

Is it still a mere conspiracy theory, when everyone believes it?

Why is it that Chinese investor rights are preserved and honored, while American investors are screwed by Obama and company?  Do left-wing lunatics only respect a people if they number over 1.3 billion, with a massive nuclear stockpile, and a military with over 7 million members?  I think I just answered my own question.

What part of &quot;you are part of the problem&quot;, do you not understand, SPLC, ACLU, ADL, CAIR, NCLR, NAACP, etc.?  Will you now accuse every American citizen, Conservative, moderate, and liberal alike, of foamenting dissent and acrimony?  Morons, one and all.

It&#039;s a sad day, when the Chinese, and SNL, represent American interest better than our so-called representatives and community &quot;leaders&quot;.

Thanks for the laugh, Bob.

Laughter is the best medicine, but this is getting ridiculous.</description>
