Your government and union employees photo's here

Anyone has the potential to be a hero... it's all in how you choose to act and what you do after the fact.

Actually, no. In this day and age the GIANT marketing train of both federal and local governments has made it a requirement that you be a government employee to be a "hero". I am so offended by this marketing that it is stuck in my crawl.

-government employment positions should be made made as a last resort and not for a jobs program.
-government employee creation should be done with the utmost in care, anyone care to guess when the last time the federal government shrank its numbers of employees? Obama has added 180,000 hero's in the last three years!
-government employment should not be called "servant" or "in the service", we all know that it us in the private sector that are stuck doing the serving and paying for these employment positions. Policemen telling free people how we should talk to them, elected officials wanting exceptions on how the rule of law applies to them, the pyramid is upside down.

Right now my definition of a "Hero" is any poor slob doing the working, paying, and slaving to pay for all these government employment positions. These poor slobs have got to be damn tired and wondering how in times like these the federal government could add 180,000 positions to its payroll.

On a sidebar, I really can't stomach a union position of any sort. The entire philosophy of a man who wants a job, telling another man who created the job what he will pay them and give them as benefits, is beyond my possible belief abilities.

My beef with government employees is really aimed at federal employees though, some exceptions, as my federal government has created these positions almost entirely against the US Constitution created by the Founders.

By the way, these are NOT liberal beliefs, these ARE conservative beliefs and I would challenge anyone who works for the federal government, save the military, how the Founding Fathers would justify their jobs existence. On a local level, smaller government is ALWAYS better. Police and "teachers" are a must but the rest is really up for debate.

* somewhere in Michigan*

Ok guys smile and say..........SHUFFLINNNNNNN!

Some guys just like that, did a bang up job putting out a fire in Michigan's Upper Peninsula recently. I would like to whole heartedly thank these "heroes" for keeping the Duck Lake fire contained between the Two Hearted River on one side, the Tahquamenon River on the other side and Lake Superior to the North. I don't think the fire went for than a half a mile outside the river boundaries and didn't burn one inch of water in Lake Superior! Only 65 homes and one business were lost, every single home and business in the fire area. To go into the mistakes of how this fire was allowed to burn on the first day would be an online abortion. Whatever though, "heroes" just the same!

See now, that's none of my business and I really don't generally care about what OTHER city's do with their public employees. I do know that I don't want ANY public employees in my city.

The issue of federal public employees is far different. They have to go, ALL of them except those provided for by the U.S. Constitution. The ones that are left cannot be unionized.

yal,,,, what he said!!!!

I still stand by my statement.

Any given day the random guy walking down the street has the ability to to something extraordinary. The ball is in his court for the next step. Does he run to the media, or does he continue his life out of the limelight? To me, a hero stays out of the spotlight. If he is thrust into the limelight he does his best to get out of it quickly. I guess I'm old fashioned in that the hero never reveals his true identity.

Is "hero" overused? Absolutely, but don't think for a minute that regular Joe's can't step up to the plate and deserve the title.
