Trying To Keep Up With Obama's War Against Democracy And Our Constitution

Topics: Political News and commentaries

In our never-ending attempt to keep up with Barack Obama's never-ending war against democracy, the American way of life for generations, and our Constituition, we always seem to be a step behind. It's not that we're lazy or not paying enough attention, it's just that he's so persistent and so prolific in his determination to fundamentally transform (mostly by executive fiat and bureaucratic mandate) the liberties, traditions, laws, and values Americans have loved, been protected by, and enjoyed for centuries.

Take, for example, his latest 'transformation' America: Obama's War on the Secret Ballot:

[...] The Obama Administration has fired its opening salvo against a cornerstone of democracy: the right to secret ballot.

Last fall, voters in four states voted overwhelmingly to amend their constitutions protect the right of workers to vote by secret ballot in deciding whether or not to form unions. That right has been enshrined in federal law for 75 years but is threatened by bills pending in Congress.

Nonetheless, the Obama National Labor Relations Board has filed a lawsuit against Arizona seeking to halt its protection of the right to secret ballot. Federal law governs labor relations, the NLRB asserts, and states cannot provide greater security for worker rights.

Why is the Obama Administration taking such a profoundly anti-democratic position? The answer is simple: it's pay-off time for the massive labor union support Barack Obama received in the 2008 election.
