Blowing a Whistle or Being Anti-American

Art by Will Elder in MAD  magazine

I think our president has given a bad name to “Whistle Blowers”.  After he let off his steam about one anonymous whistle blower one would think Whistle Blower is about the same as “Tattle Tale”, “Stool Pigeon”, and “Anti-American”.

Really? 

Of course, a Stool Pigeon and Tattle Tale are ones that tales someone of authority criminal activity or copying someone’s test answers in school.

A Whistle Blower is one who tells authorities that a regulation or law is being broken.  And the regulation or law was written up to abide to safety regulations or cost/price cheating. Usually they are safety protection rule or to prevent companies from charging to government taxpayers too much.
