We have heard all we need to hear:

This week, I have been trying to illustrate what the progressive liberals have accomplished in their quest for power and there goal of domination. These words might seem a bit conspiratorial and extreme. You might ask how one group can dominate another group, in a free society such as the one we have.

The answer is simple. There are unknowing participants and there are knowing participants that care about one thing and that is the power they derive from an enterprise that borders on the criminal. When an organization such as union’s have the ability to legally extort public funds for there own self aggrandizement and then profit from that theft all of society looses. This is exactly what we are experiencing today.

The union protestors that have been in the news this week are the unknowing participants. They see the benefits that they derive, but they don’t ask how it is done.

There is one word that describes what has happened to the unknowing participants by those that control them. The missing word in the dialog is coerce - the word is defined: 1: to restrain or dominate by nullifying individual will. 2: to compel to act or choice <> 3: to enforce or bring about by force or threat.

Through collective action, collective bargaining is achieved. At the very outset the unions coerced individual action through promoting an agenda of guaranteeing benefits and compensation. Through years of collective bargaining, the unions have coerced a political party and have coerced the unknowing participants to promote through their contributions a legal extortion ring.

When we consider the word coercion we can say that unions provide a protection against unfair labor practices. But, when we consider that union members do not have a choice in what and who unions support, then the basic tenants of the Constitution might come into play under the 13th amendment.

There is no doubt that the problems we face today, in the states that are close to bankruptcy, is due to the collective action of coercion by the unions. It has been done to corporations through strikes and it is now being done to state governments, by the knowing participants who have created this enterprise.

The government’s role in this is duplicitous. Many of the State and Federal law makers have gone out of their way to propagate this theft of public funds and to coerce private citizens to listen and to participate in the indoctrination of the enterprise. Former Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (D) signed into law, in 2009, a law that students in public schools would be educated in the history of unions, organized Labor and collective bargaining. Where is the choice that citizens have in what they are being taught and what age should they be taught the subjects that are designed to indoctrinate and enslave the young in a pattern of thought and action?

These questions need to be asked and these decisions need to be scrutinized for the benefit of a free republic. Hannah Arendt, a political theorist, said, “the word education has an evil sound in politics; there is a pretense of education, when the real purpose is coercion without the use of force.”

When the young are indoctrinated and basic aspects of history are purposefully forgotten and other aspects are purposefully advanced, then the word coercion can be understood. The word coercion is defined: the act, process, or power of coercing.

The profile of the Democratic Party today is one of coercion. The profile of the progressive liberal is one of coercion. The profile of the union is one of coercion, because it is mandatory that you join a union in order to be employed.

I end each week with a quote. Today’s quote is by Patrick Henry: “Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom.”

A footnote: There is a loss of freedom and a loss of choice when institutions take from the unknowing and then give to the knowing to coerce others into action that they might not necessarily want to take. When citizens and politicians are coerced they loose freedom of choice. This should be all that you need to hear.
