GOP, Dems Team Up To Beat Back Anti-Union Measure
Everybody, send a thank you message to your Democratic or Republican representative for blocking an amendment that would have defunded the NLRB, the National Labor Relations Board. This bill was designed to defund the NLRB and I cannot even tell everyone just how disastrous this could have been if this amendment would have passed.

Apparently, now Tea Partiers are rallying for this union-busting bill:

Shame on them.

They have been brainwashed by Fox News. Alex Jones tried to get through to them today on his radio show (a lot of them listen to his show). He tried to tell them that Fox News is lying to them (he's a conservative)!kemcha wrote:Apparently, now Tea Partiers are rallying for this union-busting bill:

And the Tea Party is planning their own protest:
"We have buses coming in from all over the state," Ryun said of what
was dubbed the "I Stand With Scott Walker" rally. "We see this as the
opening salvo of the 2012 election season. The Tea Party movement facing
off against the unions. And we like the odds."

Yeah, they had a headline about "Fox Lies." It was down about halfway down the front page.

The teaparty wants to get the black man out of the white house. As a result they will go after *anything* that they think will achieve that goal. In fact if the whole US goes down in flames that's OK by them b/c they'd prefer to see our nation destroyed & our 300 million citizens dead including themselves if it would mean they didn't have to have a black president anymore.

This diary makes clear what this fight in Wisconsin is all about - what the choices are - not just in Wisconsin, but all across this country.

You speak the truth about the tea party, they are not patriots, they are racists!

Let the tea partier's speak for themselves....calling the worker's rights protesters "pigs - dirtying up the steps of the state capital".
(Mubarak sent in his regime thugs to create violence in peaceful Egypt protests.)
We shall see how the tea party protesters conduct themselves today - calling the protesters "pigs" right off the bat seems to make their intentions for "peaceful" protest questionable.

It's just going to get worse. This whole Labor Strike that began with Wisconsin Democrats is going to end up turning into a nationwide strike that will involve labor, unemployment and the economy.

And inflation. That's another one of the main reasons for the protests in the Middle East. When more Americans can't afford to eat, they will hit the streets too.kemcha wrote:It's just going to get worse.

Inflation has already hit China and they don't know how to deal with it. I think we're starting to see that here in the U.S. Just a walk into your local grocery store says it all. Retail prices on food that you regularly purchase have steadily increased and yet the Fed Chairman, Bernanke, is quick to denounce that inflation is a problem for our economy.
