'Peace convoy'? This was an Islamist terror ambush
"It is becoming ever more clear that Islamist terror attacks like this are fiendishly staged theatrical events in which the western media – and beyond them, western governments -- play an absolutely essential role in the drama.
If those media and governments refused to swallow the lies and instead called operations like this and the players behind it for what they actually are, such terrorist operations would not happen.
The Islamist strategy of war against Israel is carefully calibrated to deploy the most effective weapon in its armoury in the cause of jihadi violence – the western media.
Right on cue, western governments accordingly deliver their own script in condemning the victims of terror for defending themselves.
And so, courtesy of the west’s fifth columnists, yet another nail is driven into the west’s own coffin."

America faces a big, fat Greek-style bankruptcy
WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: America faces a big, fat Greek-style bankruptcy - Opinion - ReviewJournal.com
"So what caused this?
Big government and government employee unions.
Greece's problem is Europe's problem ... and following closely behind, America's problem, too.
We're all Greeks now.
Quite simply, Greece's problem starts and ends with government employee unions.
There are too many government employees (one of every three Greek citizens works for government); their salaries are way too high; their bonuses can be described only as insane (2 months for each public employee); their pensions are ridiculous (retirement far too young and free health care for life); and their government jobs are guaranteed for life."

"Unions:
Those who give to politicians expect a lot in return.
That's clear from the budget-busting payoffs directed largely at organized labor by Democrats in Congress and the White House.
A bill making its way through the Senate would bail out union pension funds to the tune of $165 billion.
The bill's author, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, wants the public to pay for the gold-plated union retirement benefits that the funds have mismanaged into oblivion."

Andy Dillon pushes Michigan retirement plan, AFL-CIO chief bristles Lansing State Journal
"State employees must be prodded -- and soon -- to take early retirement with the same combination of incentives recently approved for school employees, House Speaker Andy Dillon said Thursday.
Dillon of Redford Township, a Democratic candidate for governor, told Free Press editors and reporters that reforms are needed to cut state spending.
A House version of the retirement package would save the state about $300 million in the spending year that begins Oct. 1 and $850 million over 10 years by making those who don't retire pay more for retirement health care."
Dillon is right on.
How tough it must be to be a principled democrat in union controlled Michigan?
