It appears the Chicago Sun-Times business columnist David Roeder is pitching in to write the paper's political front page "news."

All print media now using the front page, normally dedicated to hard news, into editorials promoting their own liberal agenda.

Here’s Rush on Government Unions

Government unions have a long-standing incestuous relationship with the Democratic Party. In return for massive campaign contributions and foot soldiers for political campaigns, elected Democrats not only reward their union benefactors with favorable contracts, they shield them from the kind of accountability that private sector employees face. That’s one reason our schools are failing. It’s why cities and states with entrenched Democratic leaders are bankrupt. It’s why governments ballooned while millions of private sector employees lost their jobs and even their homes.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a college dropout...

Obama, a college graduate... well at least that's what he claims.

A better title:

Wisconsin Governor Walker Stands Up for Taxpayers.

No kidding.

Walker is a Man of his Word with principles.

And he is upported by the taxpayers.

Too bad the media doesn’t tell you how one-sided the collective bargaining is for the unions and the system is fixed to support higher wages and benefits for teachers. WEAC (the teachers union) has a strangehold on government, especially when the rats are in charge.

Wisconsin needs to become a Right to Work State.

You are right. Even the title—Walker is turning the state into a “battleground.” Is it Walker or the unions who started the battle? If the news was reported straight—that all Walker did was propose reducing benefits to a realistic (but still better than the private sector) level—readers would realize just how unreasonable unions are being. Readers would realize that unions have incredible power at the expense of taxpayers and are turning the state into a battleground to keep their privileged position.

Actually, it was the teachers union that went to war and is irrationally upsetting the capitol.

The terrorist Richard Trumka did not come to defend, but to attack.

The teacher’s unions are a relic. The education system is one big FAIL, biding its time till utter and complete bankruptcy, predicated upon the disreputable blank slate theory and the notion of unlimited funding.

If there’s a lesson in what he’s doing, it’s that voters ought to take candidate positions seriously. Sometimes, politicians really do what they say they will.

Actually, I'm assuming they did and that's why he is now governor.

The prospective derailing of the enforced-dues money train has the DNC media in full Alinsky mode.
