I cannot understand how the Detroit News allows Bob King, the president of the UAW to publish his reactionary union drivel without a balancing column.

King equates the union struggle in Wisconsin with struggles in Egypt and Libya, portraying the duly elected Democratic state government in Wisconsin as some type of oppressive dictatorship. In fact, the democratic senators that left the state to prevent a vote are defying the democratic process in the state and preventing Wisconsin legislators from performing the job Wisconsin voters elected them to do.

This is not a stand for democracy; this is anarchy where unionists are trying to have their way by force and not by democratic process. This is a blatant attack on our system of government and cannot be allowed to continue if we want to preserve the democracy envisioned and created by our Founding Fathers.
