Baarbara, Come Out to Play-ay!!

Mickey Kaus is a lifelong Democrat and writer for Slate. He is running in the California Senatorial primary against Babs Boxer. In his words,

I have no special beef with the incumbent, Barbara Boxer. She is a state-of-the-art Democrat. But to be "state-of-the-art" in our party is not such a good thing anymore....

It means the incumbent supports a "card check" bill that would effectively take away the secret ballot from workers in order to give more power to the big unions-- including public employee unions--whose influence over our great industries and our government has led to disaster. 

"State of the art" means the incumbent endorses a misguided immigrant legalization scheme, a conditional amnesty, that would create a huge incentive for more illegal immigration--before we're sure our broken border has been fixed to withstand it... 

Common sense tells you that when you can't fire bad teachers because their union won't allow it, you'll get bad schools. Common sense tells you that when you keep flooding the labor market with new unskilled workers, wages will deterioriate. 

To see why the state-of-the-Democratic-art isn't working for the nation, you only have to look at the state of the public schools, the state of our auto industry, and the state of our local and national budgets ...

This isn't the Democratic party I signed up for. It's not the party many common sense Democratic voters signed up for."

I don't agree with a lot of Kaus's prescriptions or even with his identification of the problems, but that isn't the point anymore. One of the first steps to liberating this country is to revitalize the two-party system so that BOTH parties truly represent all their constituents within the AMERICAN tradition. Enough with the ticket-punchers and corrupt sell-outs.

Naturally, Babs doesn't want Mr. Kaus to be heard, lest her subjects' gentle ears be offended and their minds be forced to engage.

Well, we have news for you Ma'am Boxer. It's time to play-ay!:
