Did you personally dismantle it with your feet, your hands, or with a trusty Bic ? ;-)
Merry Christmas! Good representations both, but the slide began during Bush the First and has been continuing to this day. Reagan cost the unions much power at a time when they really were ladling the gravy over their worth. Clinton accentuated the problem with protectionism when they lost scads of membership (while overseeing loss of jobs overseas) - playing both sides against the middle. The man is truly a supervillain.
Now the Unions are Full Press Court for Obama, illegal aliens and screw the little Americans who paid all those dues over the decades to insure this wouldn’t happen. I had to personally dismantle a Harold Ford for Senate sign that the local Union neglected to dismantle two months after his loss.
But both of you made me aware that we citizens are growing ever-more complacent and subject to a feeling of powerlessness when our elected representatives (and the unelected bureaucrats) pull the rug from under us. Compean and Ramos languishing in prison, the Middleton decision to allow suit-filing illegals to remain hidden, on and on with scalawags writing legislation from the bench when responsible judges are put on the defensive by the bought press for maintaining the status quo of upholding the law as it’s written.
It’s obvious that most of this is pulled off by parties trusting that the “Average American” isn’t looking nor cares, trusting that their allies in the media will keep the Joes complacent and compliant. Too bad for them that the uncontrollable media is getting out there and the people accessing it are not happy with what they’re learning.

Amen to that!
And a blessed and Merry Christmas to you, as well, NRT!
