Besides the Democrats, the most identifiable socialists in America are the United Auto Workers (UAW). Their fifty year leftward slide has now reached critical mass. With help from their friend government/Democrat, the UAW might soon copy George Orwell’s Animal Farm and rename Detroit: “Auto Farm.”
Here’s how it could happen and how it is likely to end: Old Major, the prize boar, played by UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, stirs his members to develop the philosophy of “Autoism” as their guiding principle. This leads Old Major’s worker/animals to pressure their best friend government/Democrat to run off the auto makers, then takeover Detroit, rename it Auto Farm and declare it the property of its worker/animals.
At first Auto Farm appears to prosper. With government/Democrat subsidies the cars built in Auto Farm “sell” better than those built in the nearby free market “farms” not controlled by the UAW. To maintain the appearance of viability, Napoleon, Old Major’s successor, secretly sells off some of the manufacturing plants on Auto Farm and continues to pay the worker/animals on the production line. None of the them realize their cars cost nearly twice what they can be sold for in the free market outside of Auto Farm. They are being sold to government/Democrat, but no one else.
Soon Auto Farm is covered with unsold low quality cars, there’s nowhere to walk, let alone work and produce more cars no one but government/Democrat will buy.
The worker/animals discover their salaries were paid with their own pension funds and they overthrow Napoleon. Auto Farm closes and its assets are sold to pay the EPA to clean up the sites of the old factories.
The worker/animals come to understand what the UAW leader/animals meant when they said, “All worker/animals are equal, but the UAW leader/animals are more equal than others.”
As the last animal/worker walks away from the last crumbling factory he trips on a Ford Motor Company sign half covered with mud. He scrapes his knee, but gets right up. Immediately a UAW leader/animal tells him to lie down and moan about pain in his back. The leader/animal calls a UAW lawyer and the animal/worker lodges a claim in the bankruptcy filings of the once great auto producing giant.
The lawyer, a weasel, addresses the crowd of worker/animals that have stopped to watch the scene. He says, “They have no money left in their bailout fund, but let’s sue the bastards anyway, they deserve it.” The crowd cheers. As the animals walk away they start singing a union organizing song about evil factory owners and saintly workers.

Rahm Emanuel is a liar, but is he a rogue? It’s hardly likely.

He’s one of Barack Obama’s bagmen. The answers to hard questions would settle the matter, but the Democrat controlled media won’t ask them. Emanuel doesn’t show himself in public except to snarl at feckless reports who recoil from his glare.

Revelations of federal wire taps confirm Emanuel spoke with Rod Blagojevich at least six times. It’s insulting to try to tell us they didn’t discuss the price Blagojevich was demanding for appointing Obama’s recommended successor in the Senate.

During the campaign the Democrat media talked about Sarah Palin being a rogue who could not be trusted. She wouldn’t help John McCain make believe he is a conservative. She was a rogue.

While Palin was a rogue, Emanuel is cautious, not roguish. When Special Prosecutor Patrick FitzGerald says Emanuel is not the subject of an investigation he is speaking strictly in legal terms. In terms of real life scandal Emanuel is up to his hips in mud.

Does anyone believe he acted as a rogue, strolled off The One’s reservation and went behind Obama’s back to negotiate a deal with Blagojevich? Being “Chicago way” crooked politicians he and Obama and Blagojevich understand each other very well. They know business is business. Emanuel is not a rogue. He was acting on clear orders from The One, his Chicago style mob boss.

It seems very possible that Emanuel won’t survive this scandal. He won’t go to jail. He might not be publicly disgraced, but he’ll have to either publicly or tacitly admit he went rogue. Since “rogues” don’t work at the top levels of party politics Rahm Emanuel’s future may be in doubt. What is not doubtful is his conduct. He didn’t act as a rouge. Chicago crooks don’t go rogue.

Those who think Obama will just walk away from this are wrong. No, we won’t see his name in the caption of a federal indictment, but he will be hurt for sure. Since unions are involved in this scandal our side should be able to use it to fight and maybe kill the union thug/Democrat scheme to unionize the whole country. We need about fifteen months before the issue will bleed into the next cycle. Let’s see how eager the so called “Blue dog” Democrats are to vote for card check after this plays out.

While state after state moves toward bankruptcy and plans to beg Washington for bailout money, at least three states are showing America the way back to prosperity. None knuckle under to unions, enviro-nazis or illegals.

Wyoming expects a 100 million surplus in her next budget. North Dakota’s unemployment rate is half our national average and West Virginia is in historically good financial shape.

West Virginia is 15.1% unionized, but most of those workers are in the United Mine Workers Union (UMWU). North Dakota and Wyoming are right to work states.

All three get their wealth from effective use of natural stores of energy producing minerals. Wyoming and North Dakota have no union interference and few enviro-nazis to fight. West Virginia joins them in the latter.

North Dakota will have an 800 million dollar budget surplus for the next two years even after cutting property taxes and will still enjoy this prosperity even at $40.00 a barrel price of crude oil.

None of these states has more than 2,500 illegal aliens. Not one of these states where free enterprise and a fair labor market flourishes, has a sanctuary city to act as a magnet for alien burglars willing to help spend the state’s wealth. In all three states the money collected in taxes and fees is used to make life better for the hard working American citizens who pay taxes and keep down their demands for service.

In West Virginia, North Dakota and Wyoming people don’t have to watch their schools being forced to teach in foreign languages or their hospitals deal with diseases found in the slums of third world countries.

The road to national prosperity is clear: low union thug interference in commerce, control enviro-nazis to get the most from natural resources and slam the door on illegal burglars.

There are really no surprises in this data. We know what works, but our political class doesn’t want to do what needs to be done. Instead of trying to spread North Dakota to California, they are trying to Los Angles to Fargo. This fight is being pushed to the back burner, but we can’t let it stay there. We can’t sit by and watch as the Democrats flush America down the toilet to sign up illegals as new voters. We have to tell the enviro-nazis to go pound sand and we have to fight the “card check” scheme.
