Pulitzer?

One can only assume that they're trying to incite more violence!

Because the Praetorian guard spent lots of time beating the crap out of union members? Oh, no, they didn't. The Pinkertons did. Neither has been seen in person for quite some time. There's a much more contemporary anthology of violence committed by members of organizations that still exist here: "Since 1975, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research has collected more than 9,000 reports of union violence. These incidents are recorded and electronically maintained in the Institute’s Violent Event Data File." "West Virginia miner shot dead for working during a strike On the orders of the United Mine Workers (UMW), 16,000 miners went on strike in 1993. One subcontractor, Eddie York (who was not a UMW member), decided it was important to support his wife and three children and crossed picket lines to get to his job. He was shot in the head as he left the job site to go home. UMW President Richard Trumka (now Secretary-Treasurer at the AFL-CIO) told The Washington Times that "if you strike a match and put your finger in, common sense tells you you're going to burn your finger." UMW strike captain Jerry Dale Lowe was found guilty of weapons charges and conspiracy in York's death, and York's widow Wanda sued the union for her husband's wrongful death. The UMW fought the lawsuit for four years, but settled with Wanda York only two days after federal prosecutors announced that they would share evidence from the criminal trial with York's attorneys" Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc... Yes - dainty little things always on the side of the angels, those unions. Why don't you have a nice lie down.

Might as well invoke Spartacus.

Did he hire racist paramilitaries like the Teabagger candidate in Alaska?

Or Strom Thurmond had his third stroke?

Is that when Reagan was nominated and the "free market" could take over a lot of the dirty work?

When exactly did the statute of limitations for right-wing thuggery in the service of capital expire?

Is our children googling the right answers for the test?

More "Liberty" Brigade activity...

What part of "this is not a partisan issue" does your dumb ass not understand?

In case anyone was thinking that the defacto gag rule exercised by employers only applies to the workplace these days...

The most exhaustive account to date of this distracting-by-design kerfuffle here.

U.S.A! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

Is that all you've got? No wonder America's circling the bowl.

How long do you think you can keep pretending there's nothing see here? Or are you hoping to be promoted to Kapo?

Or these "people"?

You mean these people? [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Cm4NxHf7E

But I'm not a Democrat.

Nothing has ever changed, ever.

Yeah, keep pretending this is a partisan issue. That's smart...

Can anyone, and I mean anyone, suggest with a straight face that the American political process has anything to do with identifying and solving problems and effectively representing citizens? Say what you will about "oh, it's always been this way", or whatever. Be assured, what is emerging is a corrupt twisted farce the likes of which haven't been seen in this Republic.

Are the consequences of getting fired the same as getting kicked off this board? Didn't think so.
