http://www.salon.com/news/col/cona/2002/07/30/bush/index.html The irritating name of the president’s new, multi-billion dollar bureaucracy is beginning to sound truly ominous. First came the citizen snitch program, and now the White House is using terrorism as a pretext for union-busting. The president hasn’t explained exactly why the estimated 200,000 employees of the Department of Homeland Security must be deprived of collective bargaining and due process. Perhaps he should detail his concerns in a speech before the Uniformed Firefighters of America or the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association or any of the various locals that represent America’s unionized heroes.
The parallels between our government and that of 1930's Germany is starting to get scary. Maybe the Bush familiy history is having more of an impact than I suspected.
