The real face of the unions in Michigan... (video)

pigs  (no offense to pigs intended.)

From Youtube:
Union protesters in Michigan shove supporters of Right-to-Work. Americans for Prosperity-Michigan State Director dedicates Right-to-Work legislation for Andrew Breitbart. A fearless citizen journalist. Thank you Andrew Breitbart.
How many millions of dollars of damage are these louts going cause in Michigan like they did in Wisconsin? 

Warning: Profanity

Congratulations Governor Scott Walker...

Wisconsin Supreme Court reinstates Walker’s collective bargaining law.

Read it and weep, Judge Sumi.
The court found a committee of lawmakers was not subject to the state’s open meetings law, and so did not violate that law when they hastily approved the measure and made it possible for the Senate to take it up. In doing so, the Supreme Court overruled a Dane County judge who had struck down the legislation, ending one challenge to the law even as new challenges are likely to emerge.   more at Hot Air

New Zealand Blog warns...

 Socialist Labor Bosses Plan Mass Actions Across America

 Should we be marking April 4th on our calendars?

Ninety-six union leaders and activists from 26 states and from "a broad cross-section of the labor movement" gathered at the Laborers Local 310 Hall in Cleveland in response to an invitation sent out in January urging them to “explore together what we can do to mount a more militant and robust fight-back campaign to defend the interests of working people.”  read the rest

These people are not going to stop until they start an all out war in the streets.  Problem is, intelligent hard-working tea party types will not be joining them.  They'll have to fight with each other. We can hope!

Obama releases his "ghetto rage" against the "party of no"

I'm sure the union folks in Wisconsin were impressed...

I refuse to comment on the first picture.  It speaks for itself...


What's with the pointy finger all the time? Didn't his mama tell him it was rude to point?




Why here he is now - shaking the hands of all those happy union members who have just been promised 50 billion dollars.

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm  - Barack Hussein Obama - hmmm , hmm, hmmm...

Transcript of the Milwaukee speech.  I didn't think it was possible to lie that many times in such a short speech.   And he complained that his critics “talk about me like a dog.”   Not me - I like dogs...

The venomous SEIU is at it again

I come from a family that has always understood the danger of unions.  For one thing, they preferred to work for themselves.  I think our family motto was, "why work  9 to 5 for someone else, when you can work 24/7 for yourself.  However, their predictions of how the unions would go rogue have come true. 

I only had one serious run in with a union and it was at the tender age of sixteen.  Since I considered high school a complete bore (it was), I would have done anything to get out.  They had some kind of work-release program (sounds like prison, doesn't it?) and I jumped at the chance.  I landed a position with the old Montgomery Wards on University Ave. in St. Paul, MN.  They stuck me in the accounting department, probably due to my being math challenged.  Things seem to work that way, doncha know.

The department was unionized and in short order the shop steward appeared with my enrollment papers.  I politely told her I wasn't interested in joining the union.  What followed was continual cajoling that progressed into outright harassment.   They tried to convince me of all the reasons I needed the "protection" of the union.  Tony (Soprano) would have been proud.  I remember once explaining patiently that Wards hired me for x amount of dollars to do a job.  I was happy with x amount of dollars.  If I became unhappy with x amount of dollars, I would ask for a raise. If they didn't give me a raise, I had two choices; continue to work for the original x amount of dollars, or find another job which paid x amount of dollars plus y amount of dollars.  Seemed pretty simple to me.

That poor woman was completely befuddled by my answer.  Folks - I was sixteen years old and had a better grasp of the world than this "adult" had.  After about 6 months of this they finally left me alone.  This incident happened almost 50 years ago, but it left behind a brain cell completely devoted to distrust, annoyance, and in some cases, outright hatred of unions.

From Doug Ross: 

SEIU invested tens of millions on Obama and DemCare in order to replenish its woefully underfunded pensions - on your dime.

You Don't Have Mail
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Competition: For the first time in its history, the U.S. Postal Service is considering layoffs. Imagine that — a unionized work force passing into obsolescence. read more

****Until a few years ago, the bulk of my husband's business was done by mail. Thanks to innovations he now can send music and tablature through the internet. If that had not happened, his business would have been driven into the ground by the rising costs of using the United States Postal Service.

****My business, however, still relies heavily on the USPS, and each year I have watched my revenues decline because the unionized workers at the post office demand higher and higher wages. When the postage becomes onerous, the customer can't buy the item. Simple!

****Any package I mail out that hits around the 6 lb mark automatically goes by way of FedEx to save my customers money, thereby increasing my ability to sell an item. So revenues at the Post Office continue to drop while postal workers continue to receive high wages and the security of never losing their jobs. The people that work at the post office are not "bad" people, but they are caught in a system that rewards you regardless of job performance.

****We have become a nation that rewards failure and poor performance. We start early with this concept. School children in the lower grades play games which have no winners or losers, and many high schools have 10 or 15 valedictorians. Unions perpetrate this myth by protecting its workers to the point where businesses are no longer profitable. Which takes us to the auto workers.

****If you want to know what's wrong with the auto industry, you need not look any further than the United Auto Workers. The "big three" want a bailout without the UAW making one teeny tiny concession concerning its workers, whose average salary is over $78.00 per hour including all their benefits. How much do you earn per hour?

****So what do I wake up to this morning? Presumptive President-Elect Barack Obama calling for tax-payer money to be used for an auto industry bailout. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't George W. Bush our President? This is just more "rewarding bad behavior." It's time for the UAW to be run out of town.
