managed to slip away from business long enough to visit the
capitol in the daylight, and capture the scene inside at the moment
Governor Walker signed the bill eliminating collective bargaining for
some classes of Wisconsin public employees. Above
is another quickly-edited, four-minute highlight reel.
"The scene is
really rather feeble, as you will see, but nonetheless conveys the
infantilism of the modern left. This time I offer some voice-over
commentary of my own, but couldn't resist calling in reinforcements
from Monty Python on a couple of points. The old saying "It's all over
but the shouting" almost doesn't apply, since the shouting going on is
so lame. "

And as it has been pointed out before
ReplyDeleteFDR did not like or support unions for civil servants, public employees, or whatever other names you wish to call them.
"Coming soon to the frozen food section of your local market."
I walked down to the statehouse here in Columbus y-day, just to see. There were no more than 40 protesters, seemed kinda lackluster. This one chap came up to me, encouraging me to take some flyers to pass out. I gave him a look. He slowly backed away. Made my day.
ReplyDelete"As things stand today, the trade unions in my opinion cannot be dispensed with. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions of the nation's economic life. Their significance lies not only in the social and political field, but even more in the general field of national politics. A people whose broad masses, through a sound trade-union movement, obtain the satisfaction of their living requirements and at the same time an education, will be tremendously strengthened in its power of resistance in the struggle for existence".

The protests are fantastic and we should do every possible thing to prolong them and the public display of these freakishly self-unaware, raging imbeciles.
ReplyDeleteFor the rest of our lives, when anyone asks why kids are so stupid, we have the full explanation on video.
Hitler was a socialist and more than likely would have liked the idea of a union as they stand today. It is yet another expel of revisionist history to make the ends justify the means.

You're absolutely right, Helly, but this is definitely a case of "for those who don't understand no explanation is possible". To this day, those same idiots have no glimmer of their hypocrisy in raging about Sarah Palin's lack of experience and they'll never get this either.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of the great conservative pundit, B. Bunny, "What an imbissle! What an ultra maroon!"

Hitler WAS a union, Buster!
ReplyDeleteThat's probably what he meant his sign to say.
"Hitler WAS a union, Buster!"
ReplyDeleteProlly what he meant to say.
Hitler was a vegetarian and a dog lover - no, not that kind of dog lover. He was all for the confiscation of privately owned guns. Hitler was both an anti-communism and a socialist in that he believed in central planning of the crony corporation type. Hitler was the third greatest mass murderer of the 20th century.
ReplyDeleteNever trust anyone who believes in utopia.

Saying conservatives are against unions is like saying conservatives are against immigration. I'm sure the libs know better, but it just sounds more sinister than saying we're against public employee unions or illegal immigration. That would make us sound, like, reasonable, and wouldn't advance the cause.

Adolf liked the right kind of dogs!
ReplyDeleteHitler had his heart broken in WW one, when someone stole his Pit Bull.
Funny that everyone called the dog a Jack Russell.

At the time, American Pit Bull Terriers where considered America's national dog

Jack Russells are only half that size.
Real combat Pits are 40 pounds, Jack Russells average 15 pounds.
A pit would not fit in a fox hole, not that they are not trying hard!
On the other hand, German shepherds where called "Alsatians" and Pomeranian "American Esquimo" dogs!
War time bring funny twists in words meaning, like CAIR's big PR campaign painting Muslims terrorists(aren't they all?) as pitiful victims...
