Individual liberty anywhere is a threat to the Progressive-Collectivist Cause everywhere.
(from redstate.com)Writing on January 15, 2010, Glenn Greenwald at Salon noted Barack Obama’s new head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Cass Sunstein, had championed creating fake websites and using outside 501(c)(3) interest groups to act as alleged independent champions of government policy and to “cognitively infiltrate” opposition websites, etc.
In other words, Cass Sunstein has favored the government using outside parties as government propaganda agents to paint their opposition as fringe and undermine their credibility. Kind of like what has been happening with the tea party movement – lots of SEIU members pretending to be tea party activists causing violence in front of TV cameras.
Sunstein advocates that the Government’s stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups.” He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called “independent” credible voices to bolster the Government’s messaging ...
Considering Sunstein’s recommendations, it is not far removed to speculate the Obama administration is behind a new anti-tea party website called The Other 95, which defends the government from tea party criticisms and attacks the tea party movement as fringe.
About 1,000 teachers in North Penn School District are out on strike this morning after weekend contract negotiations failed to produce a new labor agreement.(from mcall.com)
The school district announced the cancellation of classes for the districts' 12,700 students yesterday after seven hours of bargaining. The session was scheduled after the school board rejected a nonbinding arbitration agreement.
A spokesman for the teachers' union, North Penn Education Association, said arbitrators recommended a five-year contract with no salary increase the first year and raises of 2.5 percent to 2.85 percent in each of the next four years.
The union approved the plan, but the school board rejected it after determining it would increase the budget by a total of 17.3 percent.

(from dailycaller.com)As President Obama’s Labor Department considers cracking down on private businesses that reward interns with credit rather than cash, Capitol Hill teems with unpaid interns who keep lawmakers’ offices running.
Interns perform a variety of important office tasks, including answering phones, leading constituent tours, and running errands. Many receive academic credit for their work as a part of their undergraduate or graduate studies, according to staff officials.
But top-ranking congressional Democrats, including those who pushed hard for legislation that raised the minimum wage in 2007, say they’re still comfortable with not paying interns who work in their offices.
