Because this really pisses me off.

Teachers' unions have done a lot to destroy young people's lives, and to keep teachers who are particularly talented and inspiring from getting paid any more than those who are simply glorified babysitters.

They are evil—like AARP, which purports to help retirees, but uses the money instead on gun control.

I shall try not to behave reflexively, but some of these groups—especially unions—that take people's hard-earned pay and then use the money to advance agendas that have nothing to do with their supposed missions—make me truly livid.

My mom was a teacher for years. And except in some arenas (she's a landlord who vigorously opposes rent control, because she sees up-close the damage it causes), she's pretty far to the left.

I'd be shocked if she did not vote for Obama in November.

But even my mom would prefer to choose her causes, rather than having others choose them for her.
