Guest Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Democrats, Union Workers, and Communists Rally Together in Washington Unmotivated, Lethargic Astroturfers Trash the Nation’s Capital Washington D.C. Oct. 3, 2010 The lines between the Democratic Party, labor unions, socialist and communist organizations, were blurred at the One Nation Working Together rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. Organized by One Nation Working Together, which is headed by the cream of the Democratic National Committee, the rally was a sort of coming out moment for the radical leftist base of the Democratic Party. National Campaign Manager of One Nation Working Together, Leah Daughtry, was CEO and top organizer of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, where Barack Obama was nominated to be candidate for President. Many of the rally’s top organizers work for Obama for America, which changed to Organizing For America after Obama was elected to the presidency. Organizing For America is the president’s personal, all purpose “grassroots” political campaign agitation corps. They coordinate closely with labor union and radical communist groups. The page on the National Education Association’s website (NEA) inviting its members to travel to the rally quotes its president: “NEA is proud to be standing with our brothers and sisters in the labor and social justice movement …” The term social justice movement is a catch-all phrase for everyone to the left of Santa Claus including Marxist and Stalinist “anti-war” umbrella groups. This rally had been touted as “a collection of over 400 liberal groups“, but a glance at the official list shows that it includes the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and other fanatical revolutionary groups that have struggled for decades to destroy the “capitalist system” and topple western democratic governments.

So none of this happened? Do you have anything intelligent to say? Why do counter culture socialists such as your self revert to their child ego state when faced with indisputable facts? The word on Saul Alinsky is out it just doesn't work any more. Was not NEA standing side by side with the Communist Party of The United States of America in the name of Social Justice? Your not honest with us or yourself. If you cant admit or defend who you are there must be something wrong with it. Now go ahead and illustrate my point with one of your little cyber tantrums.

Guest Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Sorry, I was not precise, I wondered where the original piece came from. Thank you for the link to the original NEA quote. I thought it might be useful to reproduce a little more of the NEA statement. It exposes to a greater extent the evil implicit in the words "social" and "justice" “It’s time for this nation to get its priorities straight and invest in our most valuable resource—our people. America’s multi-faceted diversity is a source of incredible strength and innovation, and we need to play to that strength. Everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve the American Dream, and high quality public schools are critical to achieving it. “In this time of economic crisis, we must transcend our differences and come together in a common quest for equal opportunity and justice for all. “NEA is proud to be standing with our brothers and sisters in the labor and social justice movement to remind the nation, especially our lawmakers, that economic opportunity and social justice are more than noble ideals—they’re basic rights of every American.” It makes me shudder that these people are educating our children.

Guest Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I suppose it all depends on what your definition of social justice is. Or more importantly, what Dennis Van Roekel believes it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sorry, I was not precise, I wondered where the original piece came from. It makes me shudder that these people are educating our children. Our union teachers standing side by side with communist organizations. Scary to think they are alone with our children 6 hours a day. The majority of rally participants were union members who came on free buses. They were given T-shirts, and handed signs when they arrived. Many carried free lunch boxes to what was, for all intents and purposes, an anti-capitalism, pro-Obama rally. According to the AFL-CIO web site, unions sponsored some 1,400 buses to get the grassroots out to the rally. At an average of 50 passengers per almost full bus, that’s 70,000 free rides. “Social justice” organizations involved include the Communist Party of America, National Council of La Raza, Green Party, Progressive Democrats of America whose goal is to extend the 2008 victory into a “permanent progressive victory”, International Socialist Organization, Ramsey Clarke’s communist and anti-American umbrella group ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, and myriad organizations for Obama, who promoted showing up at the march as “community service”.

Guest Guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The middle class is in demise because of the taxes being paid to subsidize unions, state paid pensions, and state paid health benefits. Middle class is not union members, it was the people who paid the taxes. They are now lower class. Congrats union members. You can be proud of yourselves. Union members pay taxes too, last I checked. Probably more than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 You list of places "where your taxpayer dollars are going" is a list of services paid for with dues or paid for services. Lame Or since you pay taxes you claim ownership of the money that public employees spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 This is the group that made the video. It's from the beliefs section of their website. It speaks to the mindset of those opposed to unions. They have plans for your government. 1. We affirm that civil government was instituted and ordained by God, and that the civil magistrate is God’s minister charged with the duty of punishing evildoers according to the standards of God’s law and of providing protection and peace for those who do well. Thus, only “able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness” are fully qualified to serve as magistrates. At His ascension, Jesus Christ was invested with all authority in Heaven and earth, which includes authority over all magistrates and civil governments. Hence all rulers and nations are commanded to bow in submission to Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Plutocracy thru Christ. What will they think of next? How about bankruptcy thru union contracts? No sure what you think you can get by "winning" this argument. The money isn't there. The truth is you cannot offer any alternative other than raising taxes by significant amounts year after year. That's why the unions and local governments are freaking out over a 2% property tax cap in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hope you are buying what they are selling like any other product out there, but sometimes you have to read the fine print or you will get stuck with a lemon and have buyers remorse.

tom Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Union members pay taxes too, last I checked. Probably more than you. Every penny these teachers pay in taxes goes right back into their benefits and we in the private sector have to make up the rest. Then we in the private sector have to pay for the roads, the rest of the infrastructure, etc, etc, etc. Time to stop the corruption and the first thing that has to go is collective bargaining. The private sector has no representatives at the table when these union contracts are made. Just corrupt politicians and union thugs. Get rid of collective bargaining and you get rid of the corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
