Imagine the outcry if McDonalds executives demanded that franchise owners collect "voluntary" contributions totaling $25,000 for the company's Political Action Committee (PAC) from employees at every restaurant. Replace "McDonalds" with "SEIU" in that description and you've got a pretty good idea of Big Labor's latest political fundraising strategy. To meet their ambitious fundraising targets, SEIU bosses are now threatening to fine any local affiliate that doesn't meet its PAC contribution requirements.

Climate advocates stung by defeat in the Senate are folding one of their big umbrella lobbying groups. Clean Energy Works, a coalition of 80 environmental, religious, veteran and labor groups, will phase out its operations this fall as Democratic congressional leaders abandon plans for a sweeping bill to cap greenhouse gas emissions. At its peak, the coalition had 200 field organizers in key states and more than 45 staffers based out of a “war room” in downtown Washington.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURED COLUMN

The Northern Ohio Morning Journal, 9/5/2010 “Everything, literally, depends on this election”

EIGHT weeks from now, we will be voting in an election unique in American history. We will be choosing whether to stand up and fight for the America of liberty and law conceived by our founders, or to stand down and allow our “shining city upon a hill” to be demolished.

We will decide whether to preserve and strengthen the American Dream for our children and grandchildren or to abandon our descendants to unexceptional lives in a gray socialist welfare state.

We will decide whether to take back Congress for those who believe in the rule of law, or to hand it over to those who would allow laws and liberty to be overridden by the whims of the men in power.

Those are the choices on Nov. 2, Election Day, when voting for U.S. House and Senate.

As a candidate, Barack Obama promised to “transform America” and too few voters questioned the precise nature of that transformation. Today, many Americans see that Obama and his Congressional enablers are pushing our nation down a disastrous path in both domestic and foreign matters. Election Day will be time to push back hard and stop them.

Voters are sensing the danger ahead. The Rasmussen poll of likely voters shows disapproval of Obama’s performance nearly doubling, from 30 percent at the start of his presidency to 56 percent now.

A reader chastised me saying that just because I disagree with Obama’s policies that was no reason to say in my Aug. 15 column that he was the “most un-American of all presidents.” Well, his actions as president are most un-American. No other American president has equaled Obama’s apology tour, or debased the presidency by bowing to foreign leaders, including an odious Saudi king.

Obama’s administration just filed a report with the United Nations talking about the United States as a human rights violator. That wrongly smears the U.S. and hands anti-American ammunition to the world’s real violators of human rights.

This president of the United States joined the president of Mexico in criticizing Arizona’s immigration law, which mirrors federal law that Obama won’t enforce and which Mexico lets its departing citizens flaunt because they prop up its economy with the U.S. dollars they send home. Obama’s administration harasses Arizona in court when the state tries to handle its immigration problem, and then notes the Arizona law as a problem he’s working on in the human rights violations report to the U.N.

In his recent televised Oval Office speech on ending combat operations in Iraq, Obama also talked of the need to “turn the page” and “rebuild our nation here at home.” He lamented that over the last decade “We spent a trillion dollars at war, often financed by borrowing from overseas.” And yet, The Washington Examiner pointed out, one analysis shows that Obama’s stimulus spending will top the cost of the entire Iraq War by $100 billion. That ruinous level of federal spending hasn’t produced the desired healing effect on the economy, as unemployment remains stubbornly high at 9.6 percent as Labor Day 2010 arrives. In the city of Lorain, the jobless rate stood at 11.7 in July, the most recent available figures. And yet, Obama and Congressional Democrats plan to let the Bush tax cuts expire after this year, piling a job-killing new tax load on the nation.

In town for Labor Day festivities will be Democratic U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, who brought us Cash for Clunkers last year. As a “stimulus” program it struck us as a costly waste of taxpayer money with no lasting effect. In fact, this year, August has reportedly been the worst for U.S. car sales in 28 years.

Atop all these disappointments and failings from Obama and Congressional Democrats, the biggest, most budget-busting and, for individual Americans, potentially deadly, legislative and policy disaster has been the immense health care “reform” bill jammed down Americans’ throats like a fat and bitter pill whose full effects won’t be known until it is literally too late to save the patient, that’s us.

Eight weeks until Election Day. Unless Americans vote out the Democrats who are backing Obama’s agenda in the House and Senate, we’ll be stuck in the disastrous mess they are making of our nation. Worse, we’ll likely be unable to stop the damage before the ruin of the United States is complete.

http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2010/09/05/opinion/mj3266894.txt

Another good read:

“Dec. 7 and Sept. 11 are iconic American anniversaries. Both days represent our greatest failures to understand the true nature of evil. And while each day will be treated with a similar veneration reserved for national tragedies, there is one aspect that truly divides them: resolution. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. Four years later, they surrendered unconditionally. If one posits that the war against radical Islam began in 2001 (at least for us), we are in the midst of a nine-year-old conflict that shows no signs of resolution. How is this possible?.......Because we've "sanitized" warfare. The same nation that detonated two atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki no longer believes in victory, if such victory requires too much "collateral damage," a k a civilian casualties.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS

"President Obama calls his latest attempt to revive the economy a 'Plan to Renew and Expand America's Roads, Railways and Runways.' I'm calling it 'The Mother of all Big Dig Boondoggles.' Like the infamous 'Big Dig' highway spending project in Boston, this latest White House infrastructure spending binge guarantees only two results: Taxpayers lose; unions win."

-Michelle Malkin

"What would probably get the economy recovering fastest and most completely would be for the President of the United States and Congressional leaders to shut up and stop meddling with the economy. But it is virtually impossible that they will do that."

-Thomas Sowell

"Once you take it as a given that the government has an important say in what you do with your property or put in your body, a whole universe of appalling actions and apologia becomes possible. ... We can and will talk about what rights need to be reasserted, what programs need to be cut, what sectors of this American life need to be left ... alone. But until we make a dent in the widespread notion that there always has to be some type of government structure or some taxpayer-financed watchdog to police every imaginable peaceable transaction, any contemplated fix to the mess we're in will be temporary at best."

-Matt Welch

"Politically divided, committed to two wars, in a deep recession, insolvent and still stunned by the financial meltdown of 2008, our government seems paralyzed. As European socialism implodes, for some reason a new statist U.S. government wants to copy failure by taking over ever more of the economy and borrowing trillions more dollars to provide additional entitlements. As panicky old allies look for American protection, we talk of slashing our defense budget. In apologetic fashion, we spend more time appeasing confident enemies than buttressing worried friends."

-Victor Davis Hanson

"Other presidents have been wrong. Other presidents have been misguided. Other presidents have been weak and pusillanimous and pathetic. Only one truly disdains America. His name is Barack Obama. ... Obama has no soft spot for America. The unpresidential condescension he feels for our country and its religion- and gun-clinging citizens oozes from his pores and spills out of them in unguarded moments. And that disrespect -- the kind that comes only from those who are clueless about leadership -- gives both aid and comfort to our enemies and leaves those who wish to share in the bounty of our freedom and liberty in the dark."

-Carol Taber

"The only evidence for Obama's Christianity is that he faithfully attended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years. Yes, the guy bellowing 'God damn America!' is the one vouching for Obama's Christianity. That's like saying you got sober with the help of your A.A. sponsor Lindsay Lohan."

-Ann Coulter

Last week, the ACLU filed suit to enjoin the Obama administration from targeting a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen with air strikes. He's a leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and was in contact with Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter. He praised Hasan as a hero for performing his "Islamic duty".

“Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack Obama” by David Limbaugh. “Like the good attorney he is, Limbaugh presents a wealth of irrefutable evidence for his thesis quoting several liberals along the way.

I follow politics closely, but I didn't know the extent to which those currently in power are dismantling our liberties and security until I read this book.”

After Michael Moore screened his anti-Bush documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” for Hollywood’s assembled royalty at the headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences six years ago, the crowd broke out in a noisy ovation that it did not want to stop.

ISLAM

It is a tragedy, a horror, a crime against humanity. The details of the murders – of the women beheaded, burned to death, stoned to death, stabbed, electrocuted, strangled and buried alive for the "honour" of their families – are as barbaric as they are shameful. Many women's groups in the Middle East and South-west Asia suspect the victims are at least four times the United Nations' latest world figure of around 5,000 deaths a year. Most of the victims are young, many are teenagers, slaughtered under a vile tradition that goes back hundreds of years but which now spans but half the globe.

A highly disturbing phenomenon is rising in our public school system today with hardly a peep of protest from parents and from our society at large: students are being force-fed a curious and bizarre narrative that presents Islam in a glowing — and historically mangled — light, while Western civilization and the Judeo-Christian tradition are demonized and smeared. The latest example can be found in New York’s statewide high school Regents exam where students will find points deducted from their grade if they don’t obediently regurgitate the Party-Line given to them.

Despite all the optimism about GOP gains, conservative icon Gary Bauer says that while examining key competitive races in just one state -- Pennsylvania -- he found the Republican challengers are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to money. "The Democratic incumbent congressman had $1.2 [million] to $1.3 million in the bank, and the Republican challenger had around $100,000 or so," he laments, bluntly adding: "It is almost always the case that the candidate with the most money wins the election." "I'm watching the big labor unions putting in $20 or $30 or $40 million," he describes. "The Soros money is going to go in -- [money from] the pro-abortion movement, the gay rights movement, the radical environmentalist movement....I believe we will be outspent by incredible margins." Bauer says if grassroots conservatives choose not to work hard, they could wake up the morning after the election and be crushed by the fact that all their efforts fell far short of what people were expecting.

JR Dunn: “We must move to change the culture, to establish once and for all the truth that conservatism is a core element of American life, that it is no oddity, no perversion, no dead end. That the modernist political debate is over, with the failure of leftist progressivism manifest and undeniable, and that the game must now be played on American terms. We will have no better opportunity than this. That most American of political phenomena, the Tea Parties, has established once and for all that conservatism is American and that America is a conservative nation. If we can build upon this, our road will be a lot smoother than it has been.”

Dinesh D’Souza: “What then is Obama's dream? We don't have to speculate because the President tells us himself in his autobiography…According to Obama, his dream is his father's dream…..Obama Sr. was an economist, and in 1965 he published an important article in the East Africa Journal called "Problems Facing Our Socialism."……The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed." Remarkably, President Obama, who knows his father's history very well, has never mentioned his father's article. Even more remarkably, there has been virtually no reporting on a document that seems directly relevant to what the junior Obama is doing in the White House.”

Why would the former chairman of the Republican National Committee — he ran the GOP for six years during Reagan’s presidency — endorse Democrat Harry Reid in a dead-heat election? Because that GOP bigwig is from the K Street Wing of the Republican Party. Frank Fahrenkopf is now head of the American Gaming Association, the gambling industry’s lobby. This cycle, like last cycle, Fahrenkopf has funded Reid’s reelection.

Labor Day -- once meant to extol an honorable movement, affirm worker solidarity and celebrate gains won through collective bargaining -- is an ideal time to look at what has become of the labor movement in recent years. Alas, that doesn't merit celebration. Take a few of the latest developments. In Congress, union giveaways -- like the ever-upward minimum wage -- have helped feed a painfully high jobless rate, now stuck near 10 percent. Union-driven pensions, health-care programs, overtime and other work rules have nearly bankrupted industries (Detroit), threatened the fiscal integrity of state governments (California, New Jersey, New York) and wreaked havoc on entire nations (Greece). In New York, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. actually teamed up with the unions to kill 2,200 jobs at a planned Kingsbridge Armory mall last winter. Arguing, bizarrely, that no jobs were better than "low paying" jobs, Diaz demanded retailers at the proposed mall guarantee pay and benefits of at least 60 percent above the minimum wage. Understandably, the developer balked, the mall died -- and the jobs evaporated. Terrific.
