I’m going all in to highlight all the ideological lefty hate brought on by public employee unions.  So if you get sick of reading this stuff….  Sorry, but this going to spread throughout every state in the union, and it is the fight we need to be in.  (via moonbattery) IdahoStatesman – Wisconsin isn’t the only place where attempts to pry the golden spoon out of the mouth of teachers unions has resulted in ugly tantrums:

Gov. Butch Otter, longtime lawmakers and an Idaho professor say they’ve never seen political rancor boil into personal attacks like this in Idaho before.
So what is it about schools Superintendent Tom Luna’s proposal for revamping Idaho education that brings emotions so close to the surface on both sides?

Ignoring the incongruous “on both sides” moral equivalency the left-leaning media always provides when their side is in the wrong, here’s what’s bringing out sinister emotions among union goons:

Luna’s plan, which is still in the Senate Education Committee, would replace teacher tenure with rolling two-year contracts, force unions to prove they represent 50 percent of the teachers in a district, limit collective bargaining to salaries and benefits and not allow collective bargaining agreements to extend beyond the end of the state fiscal year.

The response:

On Saturday evening, Luna said, he encountered an angry man outside his mother’s house in Nampa. The man reportedly identified himself as a teacher opposed to Luna’s plans to increase class sizes and said he had planned to speak to Luna’s mother. Luna reported the incident to Nampa police.
Late Monday or early Tuesday, someone slashed two tires on Luna’s vehicle at his Nampa home and spray-painted the word “Luna” with an X through it on the white truck’s passenger door. Nampa police are investigating.
After Luna reported the vandalism early Tuesday morning, he went to a Downtown Boise coffee shop for an appearance on live morning television. He was approached by a man who loudly called him “a liar and other choice words” before a police officer intervened and calmed the man down, Luna spokeswoman Melissa McGrath said.

What was it a famous community organizer said? “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
If responsible leaders turn yellow and back down to Obama’s union friends, their states will go bankrupt, because the money just isn’t there to keep the feeding frenzy going. But if they don’t, union behavior won’t be getting prettier.
