   Why do you folks complain so much? It’s you people who are ruining this country – not unions. If you had any sense you would join a union and make a good living instead of cooking moonshine and complaining.

    Yet another example of Union incivility…

    28 year old Richard Andazola of Stockton California was cited for Battery at the Union rally in Sacramento this weekend.

    Watch the video to see Andazola come over from the union side with his bullhorn deliberately approaching and then repeatedly shoving the man in the white shirt.

    http://www.news10.net/video/default.aspx?bctid=804869341001#/News/Hundreds+gather+at+state+Capitol+for+two+opposing+rallies/52821470001/52684897001/804869341001

    Be sure to watch the whole video so you can see Richard Andazola, who was clearly the aggressor, whining about the man in the white shirt being bigger than him.

    How ironic to watch a union bully like Andazola playing the victim card!

    Three cheers to the Tea Party people who counter-protested the Union in Sacramento CA!

    President John Kennedy fought Communism.

    His little brother, Teddy, fought for Communism.

    After repeated attempts, Judicial Watch has managed to pry loose certain documents relating to Teddy Kennedy from the FBI.

    The FBI’s original redactions plainly had nothing to do with national security, so the agency apparently was trying to protect Kennedy’s reputation.

    The most entertaining documents relate to a trip Kennedy took to Latin America in 1961. He visited a number of countries, accompanied by his “political counselor.” In each country, Kennedy met with prominent Communists or other left-wing leaders. The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico was outraged that Kennedy wanted to bring such people to the embassy–this was the heart of the Cold War, after all–and he refused, telling Kennedy to arrange his own interviews somewhere else…

    In Colombia, the first person Kennedy wanted to meet with was Lauchlin Currie, a Russian spy who served as a key aide to Franklin Roosevelt, then moved to Colombia and renounced his American citizenship.

    By the time he got to Chile, Kennedy apparently was tired of political work, so he “made arrangements to ‘rent’ a brothel for an entire night” in Santiago…

    The year after his Latin American tour, Kennedy entered the United States Senate. It is quite remarkable: the Kennedy that emerges from the FBI reports sounds like a right-winger’s cartoon fantasy of the man. However bad you thought Ted Kennedy was, he was worse!

    Senator Joe McCarthy wasn’t wrong. From the Venona papers to this, he has been proven right over and over again.

    It’s time to get the Communists out of our government.

    To say nothing of having state laws that force you as an employee to participate in funding the union simply because of your chosen vocation.

    That seems to be collusion of the most vile sort to me…

    Once upon a time, I was a Teamster. Not just a Teamster, but a proud one at that. It didn’t take long before I started to see the union apparatchiks for what they really were – thugs. As I’ve said on this forum before, I was a part-time employee and required to be a member, but was told in no uncertain terms that the union and the shop steward didn’t care about me or any other part-timer. The union dues that were extorted from us monthly was the price we had to pay the Teamsters to work in their territory. Since then, I have come to hate unions and their members – every d@mned one of them. Members of teacher’s unions are still thugs; just thugs with college degrees. Sooner or later, we’re going to need to stop turning the other cheek and fight on their level.

    When private sector unions bargain they are dealing with the CEO and executive staff of a company. When public sector unions bargain they have been dealing with the politicians that the union put in office. This is much more than a slight difference. When you elect your boss you basically control him.

    BaltoConservative, , I had an interesting talk with my uncle a retired Teamster truck driver. He said that neither he nor any of his teamster friends want anything to do with Obama or the Democratic Party. The Democrats have become so radical, many old time democrats want nothing to do with them any more.

    We must see the unions as an extension of the Democratic Party. We have a cabinet member talking about the assault on the unions by the states. If the GOP in congress have any balls they would start dragging Solis in front of a committee to decide just who does she represent. If she wants to represent the unions she should quit her job and go work for them.

    That’s because the unions are an extension of, and the funding mechanism for, the Communist Democrat Party. They have been getting the taxpayers to fund all kinds of leftist craziness for decades and are seeing that the TEA party is a real threat to their gravy train. That’s why they’ve been so desperate to discredit, ridicule and attempt to marginalize the TEA party.
    Problem for them is that the TEA party now represents the majority.
    THAT’S what has them really frightened.

    Came across this little gem of info today:

    General VoNguyen Giap.

    General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leaderof the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the
    Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi :

    ‘What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes.. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us!

    We knew it, and we thought you knew it.
    But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!’

    General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not lost in Vietnam — it was lost at home. The same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media, is currently underway. It exposes the enormous power of a Biased Media to cut out the heart and will of
    the American public.

    A truism worthy of note . . . Do not fear the enemy,
    for they can take only your life.

    Fear the media,
    for they will destroy your honor.

    Just sayin’ is all…

    I never never was a proud member, we were basically tricked into joining as new part time employees at UPS. What we found out later was the exising members had just voted to cut the pay of new hires to less than 2/3 of their own new pay rates ($8 vs $13.50 in the mid 80′s). To get out of the union you had to get your notice in by registered mail on the anniversary date of your enlistment. Only the union had that information and you’d have thought I farted in church when I went to the union hall and told them why I wanted the information. I had to send at least six cards to make sure I hit it right.

    Local 988 in Houston, the ones that refused to hire union labor to build their new hall about 10 years ago…they said the labor rates were too high.

    In an earlier statement Saturday, Bundgaard said he has “never inappropriately touched a woman and never would. Period,” he stated. “I was not intoxicated. There was no ‘domestic violence.’ Such conduct is offensive to me as it should be to all people. I waive any and all ‘legislative immunity.’ If I did something wrong, charge me. I did not.”

    What’s a community organizer to do without an ACORN nor public sector unions ?

    Hopefully, go back to his community in South Side Chicago that he has organized so well that you can walk the streets at any time of day safely…….

    I was thinking more on the lines of a cell of his choice at Gitmo or Leavenworth.

    And the entire block can/will be filled with the conspirators.

    I HAVE A DREAM !

    When evil people hate and revile you, you must be doing something right.

    “a teacher even told him she hates him because it made her feel good”

    If a teacher said that, I would say “it makes me feel good you hate me.”

    OK Loyalist,
    Thanks, just doing my part.

    Wish there were some way to break through the StateRunMedia to get more people to wake up, before it’s too late…..

    In 1979 the National Education Association (NEA) held its convention at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Military recruiters had set up tables in the hall to provide information on matters military. Almost the moment they were set up, they were kicked out by the convention organizers. I thought this passing strange. In the week or so of the convention, openly communist advocates, peddling the glories of the ‘workers’ paradise’ were roaming those same halls with the approval of the NEA. From that moment on I suspected, and later knew to my own satisfaction, that the leadership of the NEA was communist. It’s true today.
