Michigan A Right To Work State

All the libs and progressives wail and whine on and on about "big business", etc.  But what about "big labor"?  At one time unions served a vital function - and they may still do some good.  But if you want to see proof positive that unions have gotten "too big for their britches" and have in many ways turned into thugs, here's some clips of union thuggery in Michigan that I suspect won't be considered "newsworthy" by the "lame-brain-main-stream" media.

More "Civility" From The Progressives And Their Union Rotweillers

Jimmy Hoffa Jr made quite the fool of himself as he warmed up the crowd in Detroit last week for Obama.  Not to be outdone, the Messiah Most Miserable proceeded to make a colossal ass of himself, but that was this morning's post.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Tea Party is having a measurable impact.  Else, these barbarians wouldn't be losing their marbles and going ballistic in public.  A few weeks ago, I posted Maxine Walters doing the same thing.  Please review that, and then go to that link of the SEIU debacle of last spring.

Michelle Malkin, in honor of Labor Day, compiled quite an anthology of union thugs behaving as oafs and morons and yes, as lawless felons.

Now will someone - puleezz! - tell me why the USCCB, Just Faith, etc insist on singing the praises of these reincarnations of the gangs of Al Capone?  Or do we already know the none-too-pretty answer to that?

Union Thuggery On Display

In May 2010, about 500+ union thugs stampeded all over the lawn and front porch of a banking executive in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area of Montgomery County.  I wrote about that here; please review it.

It seems like these union thugs are not much more than organized mobs, whipped into frenzies by their progressive leaders/zoo-keepers to intimidate those deemed to be opponents - that is, those who dare to stand between them and the raw power that the unions lust after, while claiming to be for the "little guy".  One such individual that the union thugs hate is Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin.  In his efforts to bring Wisconsin back to fiscal and constitutional sanity, he has made moves to curb the stranglehold that unions have had over the citizens of Wisconsin.  For this he has incurred the unbridled wrath of the unions - and I do mean unbridled!  Their hatred of him knows no restraint or decency.  The Governor officiated at a Special Olympics event in Wisconsin; the thugs were there and they disrupted it to draw attention to their own sorry little selves.  Gee!  Aren't the unions and their progressive task-masters supposed to be champions of the disadvantaged?  If so, why did they treat the Special Olympic participants with such utter disdain?   Could it be that they simply decided to drop their pretenses of altruism?  Read the Specator report here.  In case you cannot see the embedded video in that report (and I strongly encourage you to watch the union antics for yourselves), you can click here.

Ah, but there's more - this time from the Left Coast!  This time we hear that a teachers' union, on May 13, staged what they call a "State of Emergency" protest.  They want more funds, you see?  And guess what?  Not only did the teachers come on a school day, but they brought their students to join in the antics.  That's right!  These children were subjected to a progressive brain-washing exercise when they should have been in school.  The union members demand funds to manipulate these children instead of teaching them things like, you know, reading, language skills, arithmetic and other mundane things.  As you read this account, please take special note of all the pictures.  They are most telling in and of themselves.  You'll see that the children - with taxpayer dollars - are being taught to become good little socialists, to "tax the rich", how "bankers should go to the gallows", "fighting vampire squids on Wall Street", ad infinitum, ad nauseum.  It's just the type of crap the National Education Association wants to cram down your children's throats.  Your tax dollars - hard(ly) at work!

Keep this (and the post immediately preceding this one) in mind as another election season draws near.

SEIU - Our Heroes! NOT!!!

NOTE - This is a long read, but it is important that you read this to the end.  It is of particular relevance to those living in Montgomery County, MD and to those who are partaking of "social justice" projects of the Archdiocese of Washington, particularly of Just Faith.

When I downloaded the cartoon to the left, I thought it a bit farcical, although the SEIU did display some hints of anti-social behavior at some tea parties and town halls during this past year.

Silly me!  It turns out that the cartoon is really all-too-accurate in depicting the sentiments and actions of these thugs.  On May 16th, the SEIU brought 14 busloads of protestors to the home of Greg Baer, deputy general counsel for corporate law for Bank of America.  They were joined by an outfit called National Political Action that hails from Chicago (kinda makes sense, doesn't it?).  Over 500 of these individuals protested at Baer's home.

Did they confine themselves to the sidewalk?  No!  They were all over his front lawn and even went onto the front porch!  Boys and girls, can we all say "trespassing on private property"?  The only one home at the time was Baer's 14-year-old son.  Needless to say, the poor kid was frightened out of his wits.  Nina Easton is a neighbor of Baer's and a columnist.  She had much to say about the travesty.  As you read her column, take a look at the photo.  Click "read more" for more crucial details.
