AFL-CIO Union Chief Pledges 12 Million Workers to Van Jones Progressive Tea Party

Well, according to AFL-CIO president Rich Trumka, only the American “labor movement” is all about the “real” American Dream. I guess that means the rest of us haven’t got a clue.
Opening with Van Jones’ “American Dream” mantra, Trumka announced his pledge of 12 million union laborers and their families to support Van Jones’ “Rebuild the Dream” movement.
Trumka then goes on to explain that the real American Dream is not about a few of us having a lot, but about all of us having a “fair portion.”
“The American Dream is not that a few of us will get to be rich, but that all of us will have a fair portion of the good things in life.”
Trumka’s announcement coincides with the launch of a Van Jones co-sponsored MoveOn.org campaign titled “Rebuild the Dream.” The Blaze recently reported on the campaign and its new catch-phrase already catching on among leftists like Howard Dean. The movement, which accuses the “slash and burn” GOP of “killing the American dream,” has positioned itself as the left’s answer to the Tea Party.
During Rebuild the Dream’s launch event Thursday, Jones exclaimed to a crowd of followers that “America is not broke” — even encouraging the audience to chant the phrase in unison — and claimed those who suggest otherwise, are “lying.” He also accused people — presumably Tea Party members – who “hate on America’s government“ and ”wreck America’s infrastructure” — of being unpatriotic.
Of course Jones also didn’t fail to misrepresent a GOP platform when he suggested conservatives lie to the American public and lead them to believe that “asking the super-rich to pay taxes hurts America’s economy.” This statement is disingenuous of course, as it implies conservatives suggest high-income earners shouldn’t pay taxes at all. In addition, Jones seems to deceive by omission when he fails to specify who his “super-rich” actually are — then appears to lump small business owners, large corporations, and the individually wealthy into the same category.
But perhaps the best, most ironic moment of the evening came when Jones, aiming to sound like Newt Gingrich, announced his “Contract for the American Dream,” which will come to fruition in mid-July. The “contract,” Jones claims, will be an aggregated list of ideas and suggestions he receives from people across the country, on how to “rebuild the American dream.”
With the help of friends like MoveOn, SEIU, Campaign for America’s Future and AFL-CIO, Jones plans to “build a movement that stands for liberty and justice for all.”
The video below features highlights of Van Jones’ Rebuild the Dream launch event:
So first we had “hope and change” and “yes we can,” and now it’s “rebuild the American dream.” Platitudes and catch-phrases seem to come easily to the left, but what about substance?

Posted on June 25, 2011 at 12:25amYeah – remember the ones they paid to show up for the rally they held to “show up” Glenn’s August 28th rally in Washington? Most of them left halfway through the Rally–soon as they got their promised free boxed lunches. And none of them looked as if they really wanted to be there. These people have no dedication. If somebody isn’t giving them some kind of bribe to show up, they won’t be there at all, and even if they are, they won’t hang around long. Contrast that with Glenn’s rally. That is why they won’t get far with this 12 million “workers”. I imagine if it isn’t working out though, they will resort to violence as the left always does, all the while calling US the violent ones.

Posted on June 25, 2011 at 12:03amThis union member wont be one of those 12 million. I receive a union newspaper every month from the national. Usually I just throw it in the trash. This month though I took the time to read a lead front page article about what happened to the economy and why. It never ceases to amaze me how twisted and deceived the unions are. The sad thing about it is there are a lot of IGNORANT union members who suck it up and believe everything the union leadership says. Why? Because they are too LAZY to think for themselves. It takes energy to be a critical thinker. They would rather BELIEVE LIES spoon fed to them. It takes time to investigate or atliest listen to the other side ie: conservative view points. I’m just waiting for some of you union IDIOTS to come to my door step to try to convince me of the error of my ways. I hope you have all your union dues paid up because your union LIFE INSURANCE will be denied to your beneficiary if you’re behind.

The sad thing about this is, we (the majority of the people who believe in the constitution) would be percived by the government as the bad guys in this fight. Some how having values, morals, and serving your country according to this administration makes you a suspect. How long can we continue to be one nation with the northeast and west being socialist? I don’t forsee this issue being resolved at the ballat box because the next elected dem president may be worst than what we have now. I don’t think we have ever had a time in this country when so many states were sueing the federal government and the federal government sueing the states. I don’t see a happy ending to all of this because the left is taking us down a road the founders did not intend.

Posted on June 24, 2011 at 9:26pmTrumka is talking out of his azz….I’m one of the 12 million union workers he thinks will mindlessly goose step to his orders and I can tell you me and many others in my shop have no loyalty to this fool, nor anyone else in our Local who drones on about socialist junk. There are a good portion of us who are disgusted with these socialist losers who are directing unions.
I regularly expose the “small details” my Local leaders forget to mention when they are trying to fire us up about political matters…and more often than not it puts a totally different perspective on whatever nonsense they are spewing.

So he’s for social justice and equal stuff in equal houses, but then he says that children should get an education and get ahead? If we are all deserving of the same standard of living and comfort, what is the incentive to “get ahead”? Librtards make me sick. I wonder if he ever stops to think about what he is saying and laughs at all the idiots who follow him and don’t get that he gets rich off their ignorance.

Posted on June 25, 2011 at 9:56amWhat a weird combination of arrogance and desperation–trying to re-define the American Dream into some kind of elitist socialism. Seems to me their arrogance is preventing them from seeing how this could backfire.
Many are starting to realize just how “revolutionary” the American revolutionaries were. Socialism is nothing more than a close translation of the principles of the monarchies it has replaced. In reality it is just another elitist system where a few well-connected “educated” initiates decide what is “best” for the masses, and how to use a country’s wealth. Uh… this would be a step BACKWARDS from what our founders put in place.
The ideal of self-rule based on a positive view of human nature and potential will survive no matter how many power hungry propagandists screw around with the vocabulary.

This clown just stood up and told the socialist democrat people that they did NOT automatically have the support of the unions.
Then, he turns around and announces he is organizing 12 million of his slaves to support the socialist democrat people!
#FAIL
He knows the unions are all but irrelevant. Down to 7% of the workforce.
He is making a desperate attempt to remain relevant.
The socialist democrat people now take the union vote for granted.
Why would they GIVE anything else to the unions, when they are going to get the union vote no matter what?
They WON’T do anything else for the unions. They will PROMISE, but they will not deliver.
If they DELIVER to the unions, they no longer control the unions. As long as the unions NEED them to do things for them, they control the union vote.
But, when the union then announces a 12 million vote effort, you can be CERTAIN the socialist democrat people will do nothing for the unions – they are now guaranteed that voting block. He was on the right track when he threatened to pull union support.
Then he blinked.

And I can vouch that I see some real lazy bastages and because I am a hard worker and a good work ethic guess where that extra works goes to? Will the union let my boss fire these people, will the union allow me to get a % of the paycheck for doing the work of others? That answer is no, but I will not sacrifice my work ethic and be like them.
