Pro-Union Protesters Try To Disrupt Michigan Capitol

Interesting, so you do not believe in violence, but you believe in justifiable homicide?

 

He is a liberal. Obviously he is only against violence when it is the other side. He thinks violence for his causes are good.

 

Typical, huh?
Seems these libs take their que from their illustrious leader...BO was against the rising debt until he was for it...he was against the tax cuts until he re-upped them

 

It's funny how you'll tell people what they think when you are generally wrong about everything else. ESP must be your special gift.

 

And Republicans didn't mention the word debt for 8 year under Bush except to say that they didn't matter. Now for some reason, they matter. Hum?

 

Debt was huge for BO a few years ago though, wasn't it? Remember BO declaring Bush "unpatriotic" for running up $5 trillion in debt on a credit card issued by China? Do you?
Or those votes against rasising the debt ceiling cast by the dims?
Oh, how I long for the good old days.

 

It's called "Selective Memory" and it runs rampant in liberals...

Yeah, when people who fought industry were beaten and shot, and their homes burned to the ground, with their kids in 'em. Yeah, the good old days were somethin' "special".

 

Come on, man! Surely you're not suggesting that it's ridiculous to compare a punch thrown in anger and knocking over a tent or two to premeditated beatings, arson and murder. Get real!

 

Violence is out of the question.

Jump on this one righties as there's a lot of "anti Democrat" ammo there. Of course it was over 100 years ago.

My real point is there was violence.

Hell, in the case of Grover Cleveland in the Pullman situation he would have made a fine Republican.

Times change - people don't.

 

Maybe these large corporations us the same standards you use when determing a fair wage & acceptable benefits/working environment? What was it again? Oh yeah, you pay them enough so they should be able to get by? Is that benevolence based on your assumptions?

 

Damn these pro-union thugs. Seriously. When will the violence end?????

Our county's claim to shame as Bloody Williamson in the 20ies was do in part to union violence (other parts in the mix were Klan violence and gang wars).

We even rated our own book...

When the corporate pigs start denouncing violence it means that they don't think the violence is working in their favor.

 

What the righties here don't seem to understand is that there are classes of people. There have always been classes of people. A 100 years ago people understood this and reacted to the upper class that treated the lower class as dirt. Today, the upper class has the fortune to have people like coin, rlm, and Davy who aren't smart enough to recognize that they are lower class and do the bidding of the upper class. Heck, the Republican Party is full of people like them. Anyone who thinks that there is no class warfare and that we are a classless society, well they are the blindest of the blind. Even people 100 years ago knew exactly where they stood. They may not have liked it but they knew just the same. The Righties today are just as ignorant as a mud fence.

 

My area's unionizing started in 1913:

One of the more well known incidents:

One of my relatives lived in a house where two men were killed during these strikes. *Not the incident above, btw.

"walked on Mine property" is misleading. The mines owned just about everything, and used a system called "paternalism" that meant all goods and services were supplied by the mines at prices, and in other ways, that kept workers obedient.

 

Meh. Pretty much the same response you once gave to a history lesson I was trying to teach you can be used here, too. Like you said at that time, politics (or anything else for that matter including companies and unions) aren't the same as they were 175 years ago. Or 100, 50 or even 25 years ago...:

No! You have told us. Remember threatening to burn the Wisconsin capital?

 

I'm just seeing so much violence from the union thugs, especially after Obama called for "healing" as quoted in the article below. This nation certainly does need healing and I'll credit Obama for saying that at the time. I don't believe these violent union thugs were listening at the time, though.
