Accepted, thank you.
The right wing won't be happy until they have the oligarchy the want.
LOL, and ex calls Obama "Bush on steroids." He loves those signing statements, he's turning our health care over to an unaccountable committee, his EPA is drunk with power, he has yet to get Congress' approval to carry out his mission in Libya and on and on. Even Robert Byrd criticized his power grabs with all the unaccountable czars in his administration.Quote:

You are completely deluding yourself if you think that will EVER happen. It makes for cute talking points though.Quote:

Remember it is the right that set up the TSA, spied on its own citizens, etc. I don't see any of that changing any time soon.
Uh, the act that created the TSA was sponsored by a Republican in the House, Don Young, and a Democrat in the Senate, Fritz Hollings.
Ok, that makes it all better I guess.
No, it makes it true.Quote:

Their ideology is money, THEIR money, and very cheap labor. And MORE money. Yeah I listen to what they have been ranting about too!
I guess you missed the part where Obama is good with helping Soros get richer, that 7 of the top 10 wealthiest in Congress are Democrats, that Al Gore is making a killing on his environmental garbage. Don't talk to me about greedy without including Democrats.Quote:

Nope, I just don't see you single out greedy, rich liberals like you do conservatives.
Unions appear to be doubling down on the new civility. A non-union electrical shop owner in Lambertville, MI who is no stranger to union harassment and violence, was shot a couple of nights ago.
Also, union leaders in the Verizon strike in NY have called on members to "torture" non-union workers since it's "open season" on them.Quote:
King Electrical Services owner John King was shot by a person who appears to be from one of the many unions who have targeted his workers, Toledo News Channel 11 WTOL reports. King is the largest non-union electrical contractor company in the area of southeastern Michigan near the Ohio border.
He has a long history of being on the receiving end of union-related violence, and this case doesn't appear to be any different. Before shooting him, the gunman etched the word “SCAB” into the side of King's SUV.
The altercation started when King woke up late last Wednesday to find someone in his driveway. He described the intruder as a “silhouette figure” because he didn't see the person clearly enough to offer a description. The individual was attempting to vandalize his SUV. When King went outside his Lambertville, Mich. home to confront the person, the vandal shot him in the arm.
God bless unions.Quote:
"It is open season. Follow them safely, but when you get to a location, torture them. Torture them with chants and noise. Be so loud that they can't concentrate and wish they never got out of bed," he said on the recording. Calabrese also said Verizon doesn't want a fair deal, but instead wants to break the union. "Understand brothers and sisters, we can never let these [expletive] piece of [expletive] pigs break us."
They represent all the unions in the world? I didn't know! :rolleyes:
What their crazy chants and loud noises.
I forget, without extreme specificity you misinterpret everything. No one implied these two incidents represented all the unions in the world, just American unions taking after the bully-in-chief.Quote:
