Does the New York City Department of Sanitation have blood on its hands? If an allegation made by the New York Post is true, the answer is a shameful yes. The paper reports that the painfully slow snow clean-up after the recent blizzard that struck the East Coast wasn’t the result of unprecedented snowfall — it was the result of a sanitation union tantrum. Writes the Post, "Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts — a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles ... over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts."
The plot came to light after a group of conscience-wracked sanitation workers met with City Councilman Dan Halloran and blew the whistle. The Post continued:

Sounds a bit like the protests by government workers in Greece. This is only the begining.

I agree with both Walt and Selwyn.
When our nation's President is such a naked Marxist and Leftist, it sets a tone for the populace that the inmates are runnng the asylum (let alone the message it sends to the world at large).
Since January, 2009 we have experienced a shock-and-awe campaign against morality and its adjunct, American exceptionalism. The worst of these is the repeal of DADT. Can any honest person state whether or not this makes us more or less safe?
How about the recent demotion of Navy XO Owen Honors? Did that make us more safe or less safe?
What about the firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal? We are all less safe as a result.
How about the new START treaty? This is abject treason!
One could go on to include the bank bailouts, the takeover of GM and Chrysler, the takeover of student loans, Obamacare, Janet Insanitano and her TSA policies - each day there is an outright assault of American liberty and human dignity (let alone reason itself).
This weekend I will shop for a shiny pitchfork, a decent axe-handle and a kerosene lantern.
