It never does, no matter what happens among the panoramas of our political landscape, whether the leftist controlled Democrats are in charge or the Republicans have regained control after a stark demonstration of Democrat dominance has reawakened the voting public to the BOHICA (bend over, here it comes again) effect that always follows the advent of a new majority coming from the left side of the aisle.

The “it” in question is the never ending assault from the left on the elements of our marketplace that made it, in two centuries, the most formidable in the history of the world.

From ever vigilant Red State, we have Killing the Private-Sector: What Democrats in Congress couldn’t do for union bosses, the NLRB will.

As unemployment continues to rise as a result of the Obama administration’s anti-business climate, the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board is about do what a Democrat-controlled Congress could not do—give unions the ability to kill unionize more companies.

We’ve known this was coming for a while now, but after union bosses blew a few hundred million of their members’ money trying to save what Democrats they could on Tuesday, they now know that their number one legislative agenda item, the Employee Free ANTI-Choice Act is all but dead. Union bosses don’t seem to be too upset though. Why should they? After all, they’ve already engineered Plan B and, now, they’re ready to implement it.

Union leaders on Wednesday said they would focus their efforts on regulatory agencies that govern labor and union-organizing matters, and push for job-creating programs such as new infrastructure projects.

That means unions will turn their attention toward agencies such as the Department of Labor or the National Labor Relations Board, now that there’s little hope Congress will act on legislation such as the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that would make it easier for unions to organize without secret ballot elections.

The NLRB doesn’t have the authority to overhaul labor law, but it could make administrative changes to shorten the time between when a union files for a unionization election and when the election is held at a company, a change unions say is needed to cut down on unfair anti-union pressure tactics by employers.

Gridlock in Washington could compel unions to put more resources into organizing new members, especially low-wage laundry and restaurant workers, and those in health care where unions have had recent successes, labor experts said. They might use more campaigns to allege unfair labor practices at companies, and work more with international unions.

I suppose that in any great country, there are always going to be crooks and scumbags people like our union leaders who have no compunction about bringing down their nations’ economies at the expense of millions just to put some sleazily “earned” lucre in their own pockets, and there will always be a few treasonous politicians who support their efforts.

It’s enough to make you sick.
