The rich are getting richer without working for it, Jesse Jackson told receptive crowd of protesters at the Wisconsin state capitol building Wednesday. Calling on students and unions to fight for “change,” Jackson hearkened back to the civil rights era and compared the public workers‘ collective bargaining fight to blacks’ fight for suffrage.
He has an uncanny ability to get people to repeat everything he says:

Posted on March 10, 2011 at 8:10pmHow many “Black Leaders” does this summarize.
Proverbs 6:12A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
13 winks with his eyes, signals 3 with his feet,
points with his finger,
14 with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
bin a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
You should see the pictures of Jesse Jackson wiping the blood of Martin Luther King on himself just after King‘s assassination as if to steal King’s mantle of leadership. The Civil Rights movement lost its leadership and moral imperative after it sold its soul to the Democratic party for a pittance.

Posted on March 10, 2011 at 8:02pmThuggery, plain and simple. Each obscenity uttered by these protesters is more proof that Walker and the GOP legislature are doing exactly the right thing. Many of these people ought to be in jail. All they ever cared about was bleeding dry the state, and the taxpayers.

JESSE JACKSON
If you are “reverend” I do not see any evidence of it. Even BIG, BAD Richard Trumka speaking at the National Press Club today to his big, bad audience explained, “this is about Scott Walker taking on the rights of middle class workers in his state and trying to destroy middle class jobs.” And . . . . Trumka warns that there is more repercussions to come from those who “wear the Union label.”
Poor Richard doesn’t understand that it is the PUBLIC SECTION UNION JOBS that are destroying the Middle Class by abusing middle class taxpayers and forcing them to pay union dues all for the good of the political machine to churn more guaranteed corruption into their ever evil agenda.
By the way, is the bright ORANGE shirt reminiscent of the RED SHIRT worn by comrades of Communism. Workers of the World, UNITE!

Posted on March 10, 2011 at 7:52pmImmediately after the Rodney King verdict, both Representative Maxine Waters and Mayor Tom Bradley went on television immediately and rather than calm the people, they chose to denounce the verdict, proclaiming the “system had failed” and they were not going to take it any longer. History records the actions of violent mobs burning, looting, beatings, and killing any other ethnic group they could see. Jesse Jackson wants the same for Wisconsin and America.

Posted on March 10, 2011 at 8:17pm“The rich are getting richer without working for it …”
That’s such a load of BS. Those who own wealth negotiate a wage, using the money they own, with workers which allows them to make a profit. Both parties benefit.
Also, there is no such thing as a “fair wage” – only the wages two parties are able to negotiate given what each party knows about what else is available in the marketplace.

Other than that, I just don’t get why people listen to him, but then, people listen to Trumpka even when there are plenty of videos where he clearly states his contempt for the very workers he represents and this country.
Sometimes I wonder if Jackson isn‘t just a dupe being used because of his still bruised ego that he was never passed MLK’s torch as he feels he so deserves. Maybe it is that same sense of entitlement that draws him to these people.

Posted on March 10, 2011 at 10:25pmFolks look up the definition of class. We don’t have “classes” in America because in America the janitor can own the company some day. In a class or caste society you don’t leave your lot in life (class). You are what you are. In America everyone is born with the opportunity to work hard and become successful. Those who want you to believe you are in a “class” do not understand America. The worst thing you can do to a child is tell them it’s their lot in life. Jesse may have good intentions but he has done unimaginable harm to million of poeple. There‘s a line in a song from the 70’s or 80′s … The enemy is in your heart, self respect robbed by self pity (Shooting Star). That pretty much sums up what people like Jesse and the left do to their followers.
