Medieval executioners didn’t wear black masks. They were actually well know celebrities akin to Brad Pitt. Executions, remember, were public affairs.
A claim shouted by those whose luxurious lifestyles are based on government — either directly or via special privileges such as mandated dues – is that Tea Party types are anti-labor and anti-union.
They are not. They are anti-hypocrisy and anti-corruption. Most believe that collective bargaining is a very good thing in many circumstances and that labor laws have made our lives generally better.
When they hear but silence, however, from organized labor when American workers are made to train their foreign replacements; when they see the hipster doofus with the Foxconn-made iPhone demanding the hard-working pizza shop owner pay his staff wages he can’t afford; and when they are confronted by those with $477,591 pensions demanding that working families cough up another 1K to keep their pensions funded, they fully understand what the union leaders and their progressive allies are about, and fully understand that they must be fought.
Anyway, here is the latest illustration of the character of those imposing “the progressive” agenda upon us. The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers is among the big-government special interest groups fighting the mild state pension reforms being pushed by Republicans in Harrisburg. The reforms would stop existing employees from spiking their their average salaries and put new state workers and public school teachers in a 401K type program.
What kind of pension plan does the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers offer its employees? That’s exactly right LOL. Can you spell “hypocrisy”? I knew you could.
That those proclaiming themselves “progressives” are thoughtless people who don’t care a whit about anyone but themselves is something to take to the bank.

Mary Todd was a popular and attractive young lady in the political circles of Illinois and among her many suiters was prominent Democrat Stephen Douglas. However, as the nation would eventually, she ended up choosing Republican Abe Lincoln.

Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad.
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it.
A group of professional people posed the question “What does love mean?” to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds.
The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!
When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.

And the final one:
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard , climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said ‘Nothing , I just helped him cry’

The tri-state Independence Hall Foundation voiced utter disdain, Sept. 1, for the announced decisions of Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Chris Coons (D-DE) to back the Iran deal.
“This is a major miscalculation on the part of both politicians,” said Foundation spokesperson Teri Adams.
“Most importantly, passage of this treaty will lead to a more unstable world–starting with an increase in Middle East violence and ending with Iran as an irrational and unpredictable
nuclear power.
“Secondly, one or both of these men can and will be defeated if they stand for re-election in 2018. That is not a threat, it’s an observation.
“With upwards of two-thirds of Americans opposing all or parts of this deal in recent surveys, Senators Casey and Coons are alienating big voting blocks in their respective states,” said Ms. Adams.
The following is a copy of a letter the Foundation sent to Senators Casey, Coons, and Corey Booker (D-NJ):
August 28, 2015
Dear Senator (Casey, Coon, Booker),
The Independence Hall Foundation, a non-partisan, non-profit civic organization with over 10,000 adherents in the tri-state region (DE, NJ, PA), is writing to inform you of our overwhelming opposition to the Iran Deal negotiated by the Obama Administration.
While our objections are long, for the sake of brevity, we are going to list our five main reasons for opposing this agreement:
1. The Iranian government currently holds four American hostages: Washington Post
journalist Jason Rezaian; former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati; pastor Saeed Abedini; and former FBI agent Robert Levinson.
Their release should have been a prerequisite for any negotiations.
2. The Iranian government sanctions anti-American protests in which its supporters chant “Death to America” — clearly demonstrating that the current regime is our enemy. Iran, until this year, has been listed as a top exporter of worldwide terrorism. What has changed?
3. Lifting sanctions will give the Iranian dictatorship access to upward of $150 billion — enabling them to increase their funding of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah which operate throughout the Middle East. The agreement also allows unfettered activity at its Arak nuclear facility.
4. The agreement is much too lax regarding the inspection of known nuclear facilities and does not adequately address the problem of hidden sites.
5. Most importantly, we believe this deal could actually hasten Iran’s development of a nuclear bomb by allowing it to continue to enrich uranium in addition to developing and testing centrifuges. Such an outcome puts all of our allies in the Middle East, especially Israel, in imminent danger.
In the short run, the violent activity of Hamas and Hezbollah will surely escalate. In the long run, one can imagine disaster, not only for Israel and our other Middle Eastern allies, but for the United States as well. Will it be a nuclear disaster? God forbid it.
Is this the legacy the Obama Administration seeks?
On behalf of the Foundation Board,
Teri Adams, 267.531.8169
