LABOR’S DAY OF RECKONING

Ironically, the day after Labor Day, the most visible change in American politics has been the dramatic reduction in union power.  While in some places, like Michigan and Wisconsin this is easy to see, it is also happening in other states.  Here in California even some Democrats are starting to resist the unions.  The days when unions could control every close election are long gone.

The DNC is desperately hoping for a massive black voter turnout in a last ditch effort to save this election.  That is why the Michael Brown story will not go away.  But there’s a problem.  The more we learn about the Michael Brown case the less it looks like a racist white cop shooting an unarmed black teenager for no good reason.  Support is growing, but primarily for the cop involved in the shooting.  The black outrage strategy is failing miserably.  There are more and more impressive black leaders who are pointing out, correctly, that liberal policies have been devastating to the black community.  In addition, Obama already got 90% of the black vote.  How much more can he possibly get?

The Benghazi case is about to explode.  The Select Committee has been getting its ducks in order and it has a lot of ducks.  The official Obama administration narrative has gone with the wind.  The American people are going to be confronted with the cold hard truth and it is really ugly.

The IRS scandal is about to go nuclear.  Editorials in main stream media outlets are admitting that it is no longer possible to write this off as a non-scandal.  Even the strongest supports of this administration were appalled by the recent disclosure that the IRS deliberately destroyed Lois Lerner’s e-mails.  Then the DOJ said the e-mails had been backed up, but getting them wasn’t worth the effort.

Islamic militias have occupied our embassy in Libya.  That is U.S. territory and just like in Benghazi, Obama did little to defend it.  Now we are seeing videos of militants belly flopping into what is left of the Embassy pool.

Sadly, there is the real possibility of a terrorist attack by ISIS.  We will be fortunate if this does not take place in the United States.

There is even the potential for a major Ebola scare.  ObamaCare is a disaster.  Premiums are unaffordable for a program with unaffordable deductibles and it is nearly impossible to find a doctor willing to provide treatment.  Nice!

I know that Republicans are famous for snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.  But this time it looks like Democrats have won the race to self-destruction.  In case you haven’t noticed, Republicans aren’t proposing any new plans or ideas.  They are just repeating the same chant, over and over and over again.  NO BAMA, NO BAMA, NO BAMA, NO BAMA.  Listen carefully.  You can already hear.  It will get louder and louder and louder until on November 11, 2014 when it will turn into a loud roar.
