Once again, President Obama tried to work the guilt trip on us at the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb 4. He continues to claim that the “wealthiest nation” has a moral obligation to pass the government power tool known as the healthcare bill.

I don’t know about you, but this is one big, protective teddy bear I could do without.
The EFCA is the most important legislation the AFL-CIO president would like to shove down our throats this year, as they seek to expand their membership numbers. He discussed the necessity of it with Bill Moyers on the January 29th broadcast of “Bill Moyers Journal.” Trumka explained his position this way:

Under today’s circumstances, let’s say you have a unit of 100 people. And all 100 people say, “I want a union and I want it right now. I want it. I read more…
