Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Isn’t it so satisfying to see a schoolyard bully get knocked flat on his back?

Last week’s Arkansas Democrat Senatorial primary gave us just that image to savor. The Big Labor thugs and criminals took it on the chin and their attempt to bully and blackmail Blanche Lincoln failed. The sin Lincoln had committed is her failure to back Labor’s scheme to use the power of the federal government to force unwilling workers to join unions through all but rigged voting without benefit of the secret ballot.

We won the showdown

Lincoln is an opponent of the deceptively named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), known commonly as Card Check, and because of her position, the anti union Coalition for Arkansas Jobs (CAJ) supported her with television ads seen throughout Arkansas. Her opponent was “evasive about his position” which was code language for “I support it.”

The head to head primary run off became a perfect test of who carries the biggest stick, the unions trying to subvert American freedoms or those fighting to preserve them. The union thugs spent $10 million trying to beat Lincoln as a lesson to all other Democrats who dare to stray from the script and fail to unflinchingly support the scheme.

Now the worse possible outcome for the unions and the best possible outcome for America have been realized and form a perfect spider’s web tying up Big Labor.

Lincoln won by a mere 52/48 margin. This means: A) Lincoln has no mandate B) the unions are “Timid Lions” not the big bad wolf C) $10 million that could have been much better spent trying to save threatened Democrats has been flushed down the toilet and D) Card Check, which seems to have more lives than an ally cat, is once again dead.

No matter how this pig is dressed up, this is a big loss for Big Labor. They went “all in” trying to bluff with a pair of sevens and lost a bundle. Of course the money they used and ultimately wasted was OPM (other people’s money). With jobs so tight and fewer dues paying members to fleece, there won’t be too many $10 million envelops coming their way any time soon.
That is very good news.

What did you do to support and defend American freedoms yesterday? What will you do today and tomorrow?
If you don’t want to be a slave don’t sit and watch while Obama and his Marxist Congress go about making you a slave. Stand up and fight or our country will be lost.
