The funny thing is a long standing habit of not thinking that something is WRONG, gives it the superficial appearance of being RIGHT. It also at first raises a formidable outcry in defense of custom, but the disturbance soon subsides.
It is important to remember that time makes more converts than does reason. A lengthy abuse of power is generally what calls the thing thought to be RIGHT into question, particularly in matters which might never have been thought of had “the troops” not been aggravated into questioning it.
Questioning the abuse of power is permissible when a leader does nothing to safeguard his people, their natural rights or their interests. Make a note!
The idle and fearful will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their cause; but those that will stand by it now, deserve the gratitude of all. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; but we have this consolation, the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. Many servants have been enlisted in an effort to enforce this tyranny upon us. A declaration that they have the right to set a professional rate and bind us in All Cases Whatsoever has been proclaimed. This perverse hypocrisy has perhaps even temporarily flourished.
We have not made proper use of the last four years, nor could we, while we were in this dependent state. We were lulled into a false sense of security by the misrepresentations regarding off duty, the ulterior motives behind over investment and the distortion over what constitutes increased professionalism. The fault however is all our own; we have no one to blame but ourselves. We fell for the smoke and mirrors, but do not fear, all is not lost.
The recent actions that have been undertaken are clearly an attempt to eradicate the union rather than control it, regardless of what was told to WRAL and are nothing that time and a carefully calculated response won’t soon repair.
It is surprising to see how rapidly panic will sometimes run through an organization. Yet panics, in some cases have their uses; they produce as much good as hurt. Their duration is always short, because they lack true substance, but more importantly they afford “the troops” the opportunity to review the true facts and hold them up publicly for the world to see. That day my friend’s is quickly drawing near. I believe that Mike Nifong thought that he was right too until it began to spiral out of control. Does anyone recall how that situation ended?
The footmen are merely cowards serving their master and the servile, slavish foundation of self-interest rooted in fear. Keep in mind that the way we deal with this is of the utmost importance. If we appear divided, it is an invitation for the retaliation to continue. I believe that he thinks you all respect and admire him and are fully supportive of him. Remember that your opinions are of no use to him, unless you support him personally, because it’s lackeys that he wants.
There are those among us who do not see the full extent of what is occurring or the extent to which they are being threatened. They take solace in the hope that if his attack upon the union is successful he will be merciful. To expect mercy from those who clearly believe “Win at all costs” is crazy. When conquest is the prize, the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf, and we need to guard equally against both.
I thank God that I do not fear this situation. I do not see any real cause for fear. I as you see the situation for what it is and can see the way out of it. Very soon the public will see this situation and this organization for what it really is.
One purpose, one voice.
