Posted on April 22, 2011 at 8:52amHopefully this will stop the the union stooges from their constant mantra about how patriotic unions are and how they are the ones who actually built this nation even though they have never been even close to a majority of the country’s workers. For all of you blind followers who have a “proud union” member sticker on their vehicles, it’s time for some truth in advertising. Change that sticker to “proud socialist/communist.“ Another one you can put up is ”proud greedy hog, give me more and more and more.“ One that would be even closer to the truth ”Screw the Country, give me mine and yours.” It‘s too bad that you don’t have enough decency to at least hang your heads in shame. Piggy Thugs.

Technically the correct translation is ‘Though shall not murder’ so as long as the criminals are tried first punishment can be dealt out. The problem is Eric Holder is part of the problem and is much complacent in the crimes.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 9:59amOne of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an Ryan Lizza of The New Republic, about Obama:
“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”
Report Post »The agitator’s job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease.

YouTube title: Andy Stern: Justice for All
Andrew Stern, from the SEIU YouTube page dated April 10, 2008.
Listen to this guy as he lays out the Obama administration’s agenda for a union governed America, a union governed world, with free healthcare for all. Listen as he highlights the growing gap between the rich and the poor as if being rich is not something we Americans aspire towards.
3:30 “We affirm SEIU’s commitment to changing this country as well as the democratic and free debate”.
4:06 “If we adopt the Justice for All program, by the end of four years, we will have won healthcare for every man, every woman and every child in the United States and Puerto Rico.”
“If we adopt the Justice for All program, We will rebalance the power between big corporations and people that work by adopting the Employee Free Choice Act.”
“If we adopt the Justice for All program, we will finally have a pathway to citizenship for every immigrant in this country”.
5:08 “Ten percent of our members, nearly two hundred thousand people will be trained as leaders of our union to be the engine of change.”
5:48 “The gap between the rich and the rest of us is growing far too wide. Our candidate Barack Obama has seized on the opportunity of change.”
6:45 “Because if we’re going to win healthcare for every man, woman and child, and the employee free choice act in the first 100 days after we elect a new president, then we’re going to have to take this SEIU effort to a new level.”
7:06 “That’s why we are going to put ten million dollars in a bank account, to have accountability to every single politician who chooses to defy us on the pledges they made when they were running for office.”
8:27 “Its your talent, your skill, your passion, your dedication to help us elect Barack Obama and then win the changes we need for our country.”

MISC. FACTS ON “TEFLON DUMKA”:
Trumka was implicated in an illegal scheme to fund Teamsters President Ron Carey’s reelection campaign with union dues. Rather than give an accounting of his involvement, Trumka repeatedly pled the Fifth. When he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights to avoid appearing at a Congressional hearing in 1998, the Congressional report noted: “Trumka remains the second highest ranking official at the AFL-CIO despite an AFL-CIO Ethical Code provision holding that officials who assert their Fifth Amendment rights are deemed ‘unfit to hold union office.’” The New York Times editorialized: “Refusing to testify on grounds of self-incrimination may be acceptable in a criminal trial, but it hardly instills confidence in his leadership of the AFL-CIO.”
Asked about invoking the Fifth, Mr. Trumka responded: “Our members don’t care about that. They are about who’s going to fight for them to help them with their jobs and their paychecks.”
(Spoken like a real stand-up, honest guy!)
————
Carey’s rise as head of the Teamsters (while Trumka was #2) was a result in part due to action taken by the government to rid Mafia control of the Union. Those efforts began in 1988 in a landmark prosecution of the Teamsters Union and the Genovese Mafia Family. The indictments listed a veritable “Who’s Who” of mobsters, including Genovese Family Godfather “Fat Tony” Salerno, capo “Matty the Horse” Ianniello, Vincent “Fish” Cafaro, James “The Little Guy” Ida, and Teamsters officials Tony Provenzano and Stephen Andretta. Also indicted was Francis Walsh, owner of Walsh Trucking Company.
(…but I‘m sure there’s no “direct” connection to “Teflon Dumka”)
———-
Prior to becoming Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO, Trumka served as International President of the United Mine Workers of America from 1982 to 1995. In 1993, while Trumka was president, a man named Eddie York was shot and killed by a striking mineworker when he tried to drive past a picket line. A little over two months later Trumka demonstrated his remorse when he told the Associated Press: “[I]f you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you’re likely to get burned.”

Report Post »I agree with you 100% that they are representing this Obama Administration and nothing will happen right now. My point is that we should not forget that this is happening and stay after our “representatives” in Congress to charge and prosecute these thugs (for treason?) when we take back the country in 2012 (and beyond). In other words, let’s not go back to “business as usual” and let these all of these scum off the hook.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 10:51amInteresting (regarding “Is It Treason, High Crimes and Misdemeanors?”):
The level of unconstitutional actions and power grabs by this administration and the current U. S. Congress, is unprecedented in all of American history. Even the Great Depression and the executive and legislative actions taken by the FDR administration and the then U. S. Congress, that extended that Depression by 10 years, pale in comparison to what our government is doing today.
* The firing of corporate officers; the setting of salaries of private corporations;
* The excessive taxation of a very small minority (corporate executives) to pander to an uneducated and naive constituency;
* The forced bailout by coercion of individual, private banks when no bailout was requested;
* The unconstitutional legislative power grab of all land, food production, water and energy;
* The pork-laden budgets and stimulus bills;
* The robbing of huge billions out of our treasury for foreign aid, handed over, free gratis without accountability, to despots, dictators and socialist governments;
* The purposeful placing of unreasonable limits and regulations on oil, gas and coal extraction, eliminating or over-regulating new gas, coal, nuclear and hydro electrical power generation and refinery construction;
* The destruction of our automobile industry with unnecessary regulation;
* The passing of CO2 emission limits and cap and trade policies to “fix” the premeditated fraud that is man-caused global warming;
* The in-adequate protection of our borders and the refusal to enforce our laws to inhibit or eliminate illegal immigration: presenting an atmosphere of appeasement to our enemies in the hopes they will “like” us;
* The establishing of mandatory youth corps service groups, with an inescapable parallel to Hitler’s Youth;
* The signing on to world environmental, commerce and financial agreements that dilute our sovereignty, giving more power to world government than the Supreme Law of the Land, our constitution
All of these acts can only be construed to be high treason. They can only be construed as powerful individuals in our government, with the motive and goal to tear down America, as the last great hope of the world and render it impotent and a third-world socialist country, in order to appease our international critics and detractors and elevate their own distorted egos.

Can I tell you something? Collective Bargaining is not part of the 1st amendment. Additionally, Beck is not lying since this was:
1) Not written by Beck
2) Video tape evidence of these men saying that they plan to ignore the laws because they simply disagree with them.
If you disagree with paying taxes, yet the law says that you must pay, what would happen if you did not pay? What about murder? Can you ignore that law too? Which laws CAN we ignore? Who sets that standard you, me, Union Mobsters or legislatures elected in lawful elections and checked by lawfully appointed judiciary?
I truly won’t be surprised if you claim those on the left should dictate law from day to day, depending on how it fits their agenda. That would probably closer to the truth.

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 2:18pmIt is so refreshing to hear someone who is not afraid to speak the TRUTH. For far too long our president has been acting like a “spoiled arrogant brat” who thinks this is HIS country. He has been under the impression that the Constitution is nothing more than “mere suggestions” and he can his cohorts can do as they please. We, as concerned Americans, need to band together and make our voices heard. If we make it our mission to get the TRUTH out there, the traditional media will not be able to silence us. I believe I may have a very important “piece of the puzzle” I have written “ An Open Letter” to the president that basically outlines some of the fundamental beliefs of the Tea Party. This letter was written in such a fashion that it is virually IMPOSSIBLE to denounce. If circulated properly it will pose a dilemma for those in power. They will be forced to either acknowledge these truths or try to denounce them. Either way it is a win / win situation. Please email me at rockymtnpatriot@yahoo.com and I will send you a copy

Posted on April 22, 2011 at 4:04pmObama has really emboldened the Union Leaders as well as the entire spectrum of socialist, communist, anarchist and all of the far left fringe groups. He is committed to their causes and truly shares their philosophy and has shown again and again that he is their president only. This president is totally against conservatives and everything we stand for to the point to where we are the enemy. Yes leftist we are for justice and maybe we can begin to display that pro justice attribute when we get Obama out of office and start holding his administration liable for his destruction of the greatest country the world has ever known.
