US used to have guts in decades past, now, they are often just passive wimps, subservient to the corporate order.

"Lord I am not worthy. "

WTF. They seem to want to be repressed and be diminutive to what they consider superior authorities.

Also reminds me of one of my friends that I got out of an abusive marriage. Her comments were, "he has to beat me because I have failed to be a good wife to him." Yet another WTF. The guy was an abusive asshole, yet she saw it as her problem. People can be so strange in what they think, programmed to think, like little robots running around.

but I think is was Napoleon who said; "religion is what keeps the poor from eating the rich"

is all about.

around 13% or so. Many people elect absolute fools to office and then wonder WTF, why is this sh** happening.

someone, they get a deer in the headlight look. It is so damn exasperating.

If voters separated the person from the voting record and made their decisions based on just that, few Republicans would ever get elected in this nation.

If Unions would Unite they could change America but they don't. They let each seperate "Union" get torn apart by the Republicans, especially the Public Sector Unions. IMO they are already dead and the President forgot all about his comfortable walking shoes..Every working person in America is virtually on their own. Unions no longer carry any real clout as is evidenced by recent events in Wisconsin and Michigan etc. When was the last time any "Union" won any real victories?

And a pro-union Congress, too.

Lyndon Johnson was perhaps the last union President we had.

Sorry to say, but Presidents Clinton and Obama have pretty much just given lip-service to the union movement -- although, of course, they have loved union money and union volunteers.

Unions themselves are indeed partly to blame -- neither teachers' union should have endorsed Obama in 2012, considering all that the President and Arne Duncan have done to them. But they did; so why should any politician fear or feel the necessity of caring what the teachers unions think or want?

The Democratic Party and unionism are just another example of how Democratic politicians and officeholders seem embarrassed by their base and try to ignore them (while Repuglican politicians fear their base and will do almost anything to keep them loyal).

We will never see broad-based economic prosperity in this country until unionism is revitalized. But unions are going to have to get more militant; they are going to have to unite; and they are going to have to demand action (not just words and platitudes) from Democrats, if that is ever going to happen.

I think this is actually the most important ruling coming from the court today, in the long run.

really need to wake the F up and quit just floating along down the stream and over the damn to total subservience!
