Turning Red – Shedding the White and Blue

Turning Red – Shedding the White and Blue

The masks are all coming off and the unions are one with the Communists now. The comrades in arms are stirring the chaos and violence pot calling for all out war with the Tea Party and American Conservatives, with the blessings of the President. One might wonder how a radical minority could push for violent confrontation with the majority in America and get away with it – great planning and execution of the Cloward and Piven strategy is the answer. You can hear the cries of Za Rodinu! ringing on the American battlefield.

The unions and Communists have found brothers in arms in the Progressive Right as well. Witness the vicious attacks on Sarah Palin from Republican pundits such as Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter. They wasted no time in trying to denigrate Palin while pushing known Progressives on the Right such as Mitt Romney and Chris Christie. Don’t be fooled… same Progressive dance, different political tune. These are not the Conservatives you are looking for.

Using a panoply of derogatory terms such as Hobbits, terrorists, barbarians at the gates, Nazis etc. to label Constitutional Conservatives, the Left is in full ‘provoke’ mode since theymust have violent confrontation to further the goals of the Communists. Violence must reign in the streets if the top is to come down on Americans with Martial law and a suspension of Constitutional rights. It is the only real way a dictatorship can take hold. It’s their hoped for checkmate.

And it would seem, that the country so far is declaring a great big old ‘meh’ when these things occur. For instance, take a look at the free pass the International Longshore and Warehouse Union got after kidnapping security guards and then holding them hostage. Some were arrested, but only for trespassing. I’m sorry, I thought kidnapping was a crime… Probably only for Conservatives though. Then there is the awesome language being hurled at Tea Party members from union thugs. Not only vile, but threatening. Nudge, poke, push, shove.

Our President travels with, hobnobs with and evidently, cuddles with union thugs. His BFF, Richard Trumka, has blood all over his hands and dirty money stuffed in his thuggish pockets. He doesn’t give a damn about union members. No, his main course is power and wealth. The man sold his black shriveled soul long ago and walks with Communists and brutes to attain what he wants. He even stooped to politicizing 9-11 for the unions’ benefit, incredibly blaming Conservative leaders for the current state of ‘hate’ in the nation:

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka released a statement Friday commemorating the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 — and promptly turned it into a political opportunity to bash Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove and other conservatives for opening “the door to hate” in the decade since the attacks:

Wealthy CEOs, anti-government extremist front groups and frothing talk show hosts—from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks to the Koch brothers, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads group, Americans for Prosperity, the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the American Legislative Exchange Council—also pushed open the door to hate.

Jimmy Hoffa is certainly no better and his call to “take these son of a b*tches out,” (re: Tea party) is heartfelt and sincere. And if he has to spill blood and leaves corpses in the union wake, well it’s the union way. Yep, the union jackals flank Obama waiting for fresh meat to be thrown their Communist way. And Obama is just itching to gather Tea Party activists to throw to his pets. Count on it.

The unions are raping America of every dime they can get from her before she falls. This is not your father’s union any more and to stand with them is to walk the red line. There will be blood in the streets, of that I have no doubt. The unions and the Communists have been emboldened and encouraged by President Obama. They see this as their time and their chance to seize control through another massive expansion of federal power and through force and violence. And it is not only the unions, but from within Obama’s ranks that you see strident calls from the likes of Valerie Jarrett to just pass the new American Jobs Act which hasn’t even been put on paper yet, much less read and studied. They really believe all of us are stupid and just need to do what we are told. Just ask Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus.

Will anyone have the guts in the mainstream media to research all the ties between Obama and the unions and the Communist Party? Follow the stench of corruption, money and violence. All roads lead to the White House.

The Communist attack dog People’s World is touting Obama’s American Jobs Act which is an American sacrifice on the alter of big labor. It will not create jobs, it will simply funnel more money to the unions and the Communist movement. This is not what the majority of union workers want I would wager and I know this is not what America needs. It is another nail in the coffin struck by those ushering in the American Fall. In their own words:

President Obama gave a forceful speech and proposal for jobs Sept. 8 before a joint session of Congress. It may well have been a turning point moment in his administration.

Faced with a persistent economic crisis and growing grassroots call for action to address it, the president proposed the $450 billion American Jobs Act.

The American Jobs Act has the potential to unite broad sections of the U.S. public. A bipartisan bill drawn from both Democratic and Republican proposals, Obama’s jobs bill begins to address the unemployment crisis by spending on roads, schools and summer youth jobs, extension of unemployment compensation and tax breaks for businesses.

And more:

The president has called on the American people to join him in calling for the legislation’s passage.

Over the coming weeks, rallies, vigils, flash mobs, letter-writing campaigns, phone banks, even work place job actions directed at Congress will have to occur on an unprecedented scale to demand action in support of the president’s proposal.

The president has called for youth summer jobs program and rebuilding public schools. Young people and students have an important stake in this legislation passage. Their creativity, energy, ideas and fighting spirit will add an essential ingredient.

Millions of signatures have to be gathered in support of the AFL-CIO’s and other jobs petitions.

Last night the president made it clear that he stands four square in favor of jobs, collective bargaining, along with Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. Those that favor democracy and equality can do no less.

The call has been made. No excuses. The time to act is now.

There you have it. Conflict and violence is coming. Can you feel it? You can pretend this is not happening and bury your heads in the sand. But, trust me, your enemies are not doing that. They are about to strike what they hope will be the killing blow to the world’s only free Republic and usher in a Totalitarian regime where the elite rule over an enslaved class of underlings – that would be the American people. The unions are turning red and shedding the white and blue. Don’t let them steal America’s colors and whitewash their red violence in pursuit of a new dark age.

Now an Unelected, Unconfirmed Obama Appointee Is Working or Destroy the Secret Ballot

By Rick Manning – It is somewhat odd that one of President Ronald Reagan’s most often used quotes “Personnel is policy”, isn’t particularly eloquent although its alliteration and brevity make it memorable. Perhaps the three word phrase is remembered because it is succinct and accurate, even more so today than even 25 years ago. In the past week, America has gotten a double dose reminder of why this axiom is true through dual National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) actions aimed at forcing unionization on the nation’s private sector.

In one action, the NLRB decided to sue the states of South Carolina and South Dakota because their voters had the audacity to protect their citizen’s right to a secret ballot vote in a union election.

Of course, this offended the sensibilities of the Obama appointees on the NLRB, who first threatened and now are moving forward with legal action against the citizens of these states.

The second NLRB action is all the more outrageous as they are seeking to keep Boeing Corporation from building airplanes in South Carolina rather than in Washington state. You see, Washington state is very friendly to the union that represents Boeing workers, and the workers in the Boeing plant in South Carolina recently decertified that very union. So, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers dialed up Washington, DC, and the NLRB came riding out to right the wrong of a company outrageously choosing to locate a manufacturing facility in the wrong state.

This brings us back to the Reagan quote, “personnel is policy.”

While Donald Trump has been running around Hawaii looking for Obama’s birth certificate, Obama’s unconfirmed appointee to the NLRB has been having his way in launching an official federal government jihad in support of Obama’s big labor supporters, who don’t care where he was born.

The brains behind the NLRB attack on the American way of life, is a formerly obscure lawyer named Craig Becker. Becker’s views are so extreme when it comes to management/labor relations, that his nomination was derailed by a bi-partisan vote in the Senate when it was controlled by 59 Democrats.

In response, President Obama, at the urging of the AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka, used a backdoor mechanism to get Becker onto the NLRB called a recess appointment, which allows him to serve for a defined period of time without Senate confirmation.

Why was Becker so important that Obama was willing to risk the ire of the Senate to put him in place?

Craig Becker was a top lawyer at both the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and their rival the AFL-CIO simultaneously.

Craig Becker was the intellectual architect behind Big Labor’s plan to coerce workers into membership against their will through denying them the right to a secret ballot election.

This rejected Obama nominee even went so far as to write in the 1998 Fall/Winter edition of the New Labor Forum, “At first blush is might seem fair to give workers the choice to remain unrepresented. But, in providing workers this US labor grants employers a powerful incentive.”

Is it any wonder that this unelected, unconfirmed Obama appointee has in the course of one week led an obscure government agency to put the force of the US government against Boeing Corporation creating American jobs in a state where those jobs are unlikely to become members of a labor union, and against the citizens of states who are attempting to protect their rights to a secret ballot.

Personnel is policy, and Craig Becker proves that a determined virtually anonymous zealot can do incalculable damage to the nation’s economy.

What is scary is that in this Administration, Craig Becker is not the outlier, but instead is the norm.

Government Unions vs. American Taxpayers

Heritage Foundation:

Government Unions vs American Taxpayers

The Washington Post reports today that "the daunting tower of national, state and local debt in the United States will reach a level this year unmatched just after World War II and already exceeds the size of the entire economy, according to government estimates." But there are a number of big differences between our national debt now and the debt in 1946. The Post reports: "State and municipal governments from Sacramento to Madison to Harrisburg have racked up about $2.4 trillion in debt, or more than 15 percent of GDP."

And even this total is understating the problem. Recent studies show that state and local governments are severely underestimating their pension and benefit promises, including a $574 billion shortfall for the nation’s top major cities and a possible $3.4 trillion shortfall for the states. The cause of these crippling pension and benefit obligations is no secret. The Post explains: "Public employees often enjoy more generous pension and health-care benefits, and these are at the root of the long-term budget problems confronting many states."

How did this happen? Why did so many state and local governments not only spend too much today but promise future spending far beyond the means of taxpayers to pay for it? Government unions. And across the country, legislators and governors are beginning to fight back.

The professional left (including the AFL-CIO, the SEIU, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, the NEA, AFSCME and President Barack Obama) is trying to portray these budget battles as an assault against all unions. But as Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R), who is pushing legislation to curtail government union bargaining power, explained last night, this is just plain false:

The bill I put forward isn’t aimed at state workers, and it certainly isn’t a battle with unions. If it was, we would have eliminated collective bargaining entirely or we would have gone after the private-sector unions. But, we did not because they are our partners in economic development. We need them to help us put 250,000 people to work in the private sector over the next four years.

Walker is right: Government unions are inherently different from private-sector unions. The purpose of private-sector unions is to get workers a larger share of the profits they helped create. But government is a monopoly and earns no profits. All government unions do is redistribute more tax dollars from taxpayers to unions. The left used to understand this. Not only did President Franklin Delano Roosevelt write in 1937: "All government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service," but as recently as 1959, the AFL-CIO Executive Council stated that "government workers have no right [to collectively bargain] beyond the authority to petition Congress—a right available to every citizen."
Ohio Governor John Kasich (R) also recognizes the key difference between private-sector and government unions, telling the Associated Press Monday:

We have an $8 billion budget hole in Ohio. We have a third of our college students that leave Ohio after three years. We’ve lost 600,000 jobs in the last 10 years. Only California and Michigan have lost more than that. And part of the reason why we are pushing collective bargaining is we frankly want to give the managers in our local communities and our schools the ability to control their costs so they don’t have to raise taxes and drive businesses out and more jobs out.

By granting government workers the power to collectively bargain, government unions have completely politicized the civil service. State and local employees in 28 states are required to pay full union dues or get fired. Using this government coercion, government unions have amassed tremendous financial resources that they use to campaign for higher taxes and higher pay for government workers. The top outside spender in the last election was the American Federation of State and County Municipal Employees ($91 million).Governor Mitch Daniels (R–IN), who signed an executive order ending state worker collective bargaining his first month in office, spoke in support of Walker yesterday:

The people who are doing the demonstrating, and their allies … spent that state broke. … The most powerful special interests in America today are the government unions. They’re the leading financial contributors. They have muscle, a lot of times their contracts provide for time off to go politick and lobby.

And lobby and politick government unions have. Across the country, from Arizona to California to Minnesota to Maine to New Jersey and more, government unions have pushed legislation and ballot measures that raise taxes and spending. In Trenton, New Jersey, last night, Governor Chris Christie (R) framed the debate:

In Wisconsin and Ohio, they have decided there can no longer be two classes of citizens: one that receives the rich health and pension benefits, and the rest who are left to pay for them. These ideas are not red or blue. They are the black and white of truth.

Conservative governors across the nation should absolutely work to reform the way public-sector unions drain our economy. As Governor Christie told MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' today: "We're not trying to break the unions, the unions are trying to break the middle class."
