I'm beginning to believe Kasich is just not very smart. Good chance we've traded in one loser for another.
Either that or he knows that his constituents just don't have the ability to understand his comments, so he can fire off without consequence.
Talk about self-defeating... At least pretend you give a rat's ***...
Lessee, trying to follow his "reasoning" here… How do taking away collective bargaining benefits of one group of workers benefit another, less fortunate group?
May be news to some of you, but organizing unions is a right, not privilege. Anybody can organize a union. THAT DOES NOT MEAN owner/operator/bosses/companies OR STATES have to enter into contract and accept bargaining with any union.
I wish I had collective bargaining, but just because I don't, does not mean I want to take that right away from someone who does. That’s the old, class-warfare, eat-the-rich mentality.

Culture/Religions as international special interest groups...
Are we seeing the advent of the culture/religion as an interntional special interest group? Or has it been this way all along?
Does it make sense for one group to "officially" support non-biased equal treatment for all cultures/religions, and yet practically advocate for special, one-off treatment, and offer violence as the response to free speech?
Or, "What's good for the Muslim, isn't good for the (insert your culture/religion affiliation here)."
Doesn't this all just come down to Islam expecting/demanding to be treated differently than any other culture/religion?
Apart from Islam in the ME and Europe, are there any modern (last 50 years or so...) examples of large scale rioting and multiple killings resulting from a non-violent action that was interpreted as an offense to cultural and/or religious sensibilities?
Be interesting to know what other cultures and religions this happens with today... And if there aren't any credible examples, wouldn't that narrow it down to a conflict between a specific culture and religion with all others?
(Please don't go the obvious route and include riots that resulted from the eating of religious icons.)
